The Christian’s Priority

You may not hear a more timely and relevant message.
The goal of the Church is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to sinners. This is the central message of the church as proclaimed by Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones from Ephesians 6:5-9. The church is never to use its voice as just another platform of social and political change. But sadly, many Christians are willing to minimize the proclamation of the Gospel for the sake of political commentary and cultural influence. For when Christians do this, they often alienate those that they seek to evangelize by criticizing their political and social position. As a result, the lost and unbelievers think that the church is just another activist organization trying to convince them of another perspective on government of economic policies. But the times when Christians had the greatest influence in society were not when they were concerned with politics and social change first and foremost, but when they proclaimed the Gospel of the forgiveness of sins and the coming Kingdom of God. This call to singular focus by Dr. Lloyd-Jones could not be more fitting, since believers must think scripturally about all matters if we are to truly impact our world and work for Christ. The church must never shrink from proclaiming the whole Gospel of God and the glorious news of salvation in Jesus Christ for all who believe.
