About This Quote

We need to be the church that serves and loves people now, today, exactly where they are. Until then, we are simply managing decline. This quote is a reminder that our mission must change with the times. What is right today may not be right tomorrow.

When you manage decline, you are in essence running away from change. The time to serve people in church is when they are in church. The church should offer people the help they need in order to live godly lives here and now, not after they leave.

To love people today means making disciples of them rather than waiting until they become disciples.
