While we preach the good news every Sunday and stage revivals regularly, very few of our efforts are designed to go into the world, they are generally designed to preach to those in the church and to anyone who happens to come in out of the world by chance.

  There are many in the church community who have redirected the gospel message and made it exclusively for the church and none others. We speak against sin in the church. We offer hope to the lost, in the church. We lift up Christ, in the church.

  Rarely do we go outside of the church. Billy Graham’s daughter Anne Graham Lotz once appeared on a popular news talk program. The interviewer asked, "Are you one of those who believe that Jesus is exclusively the only way to heaven?” He added, "You know how mad that makes people these days!” Without blinking she replied, "Jesus is not exclusive. He died so that anyone could come to Him for salvation.”

  Salvation is not exclusively for the church; in fact the church is a body of those who were formerly in the world who now are part of the body of Christ.
