Reach the sick

When Jesus heard this, He said, "Healthy people don't need a doctor- sick people do." (Matt. 9:12 NLT)

I love the church.  I believe people need to be in church.  I attend church regularly.  My question is, is the church reaching the people were supposed to be reaching?  Is the church being effective for Christ?  As this verse says, are we reaching the people who need a doctor?  We're trying to reach the people when they come in the church doors which is great.  But what about the people who will not enter the church doors?  How are we reaching them?  We have to take Christ outside the walls of the church building.  The "church" should be us as we go out each & every day.  We have to do a better job of letting people know why they need to be in church.  We have to be the representation of Christ in our everyday lives.  We have to be different enough from the world that people want what we have.  In anything inlife, I think you always want to be more effective.  How can the church be more effective?  How can we better serve our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ?  Are we going through the motions or are we giving Christ everything we have?  Let's be what God called us to be!
