Paul's great objective was not merely to instruct and to improve, but to save. Have our Christian laboratory been aimed at anything below this point? Our skirts will be bloodred if through life we have sought inferior purposes and forgotten that people need to be saved. He (Paul) did not try to educate men, but to save them. He saw men sinking to hell, and he did not talk about refining them, but of their being saved from the "wrath to come" (Matt 3:7). To bring about their salvation, he gave himself up with untiring zeal to preaching the Gospel, to warning and beseeching men to be reconciled to God. The Gospel was the one all-important business with him. If he might save some, he would be content. - Charles Spurgeon
May this be the sole ambition of Life Church Michigan! Will you join us in being all things to all people so God may SAVE some?
