Imagine that you arrive at a new church and you want to see more evangelism being done. It’s a warm-hearted fellowship with pleasant people, and reasonably attractive premises, but they haven’t seen anyone converted to Christ in the last few years.
If you are the pastor you have a huge plus. For in the initial months (called the honeymoon) the church is looking to you for a lead.
If you are not the pastor but a serious punter, you have obviously chosen this fellowship for two main reasons: first, you feel confident enough that you can bring your friends and neighbours along and, second, that the Bible will be taught well in a contemporary manner. Indeed, the whole service is modern, the people are welcoming and the coffee is good. That’s why you chose it, isn’t it?
