The church needs a good offense.

So, I was watching football last Sunday and couldn't help but notice the number of teams that were totally reliant on their defense to score points. Reminded me of some churches. Far too often churches become great at defense, great at responding and reacting, great at defending and defying, but awful at offense...except offending. It seems it's easier to be offensive than it is to run a good offense. What we need are pastors who will quarterback their team without waiting for the next natural disaster to occur or social issue to develop before they do something. We need leaders who will look for ways to advance the cause of Christ in the community without waiting for the tornado to come so they can hand out soup. Don't get me wrong, when the tornado comes, hand out soup! But let's just do more than react. Check out (1 Kings 20:14) and enjoy your day...but do something!
