God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
I remember one who spoke on the missionary question one day saying, 'The great question is not, ';Will not the heathen be saved if we do not send them the gospel?' but ';Are we saved ourselves if we do not send them the gospel?''
Conservative churches will stop growing if they do not awaken. Mouthing traditional platitudes will not suffice. A return to the theology of the Bible we rightly call infallible and inerrant is needed. Biblical definitions of evangelism, conversion, baptism, and discipleship must be recovered. Worship of numbers must cease. Courage to be God's remnant must emerge.
