Luke 5:27-6:5

vs. 31 "Those who are sick have no need of a physician, but those who are sick."  You may notice that most of Jesus' ministry was done outside the "church".  The churches we have are wonderful places for believers to come together and worship and fellowship, but that is not where the ministering happens.  God wants us out in the world leading and teaching others.  He wants us in the homes of the "sinners", eating meals with the lost.  We have this crazy thought that since we go to church on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights that we're "okay" and have done what we needed to do.  Christ wants so much more from us!  He tells us to "go out into the world" not go to the nearest church and sit and listen then go home.  Don't get me wrong, as I said earlier, church is a wonderful place!  We get to be in contact with fellow believers and "recharge" so to speak.  But in a building is not what God wants, He wants active participation in the world with people searching for Him.
