Lets make doers and followers not just churches

The following is a great quote from Ralph Winters on the need to balance evangelism with solid discipleship.
“Evangelism is the highest priority, but it becomes weak and lacks credibility if it does not generate committed believers who will tackle the world’s problem. What is the use of evangelism if it produces Christians who don’t act, who don’t do, who don’t follow God’s will? All they do is sing in church. It is what happens in the world that is at least as important as what happens in church. We are getting fancier and fancier at church worship. We know how to do church, [but] we don’t know how to be the church.”
