A Word to the Wise:
A lack of evangelism is the greatest danger facing churches today. Leaders often diagnose symptoms while missing the root issue. That is why evangelism cannot be treated as a department in the church. It is the bloodstream. When blood flow is restricted, organs begin to fail one by one. Struggling ministries may not be suffering from poor organization as much as from a lack of evangelistic energy. When too few new believers enter the church, every ministry eventually feels the strain.
