What draws people to Christ?

Welcome to Midway Church of Christ

What’s Your Question? for Oct. 6, 2010

Several years ago, a church used hamburgers and cola in their communion because they “did not want to continue things that have no meaning in the modern world.” Recently, churches have begun using fellowship meals, basketball, soccer, horse riding and motor-cycle riding. Paul said he would not use oratorical skills nor human wisdom to draw people, so their faith “would not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God” (1 Cor. 2:1-5). He knew what they were drawn with, they are drawn to! Some have forgotten that Jesus said those who do things not authorized will hear the words “depart…you who work lawlessness” (Mt. 7:21-23). If the N.T. does not authorize hamburgers in the Lord’s supper, it is lawlessness. If the N.T. does not authorize churches to use food, sports or horses to draw people, it is lawlessness.
