What is the mission of the church? For Nov. 18, 2009

N.B. Hardeman, in 1942 “Tabernacle Sermons,” Vol. V, pages 50,51 said: “Again, I say to you, with caution and thought, that it is not the work of the church to furnish entertainment for the members. And yet many churches have drifted into such an effort. They enlarge their basements, put in all kinds of gymnastic apparatus, and make every sort of an appeal to the young people of the congregation. I have never read anything in the Bible that indicated to me that such was a part of the work of the church. I am wholly ignorant of any Scripture that even points in that direction…It was never intended that the church should…pile up a large sum of money. The church should not go into the banking business.” I believe and teach the same things, and for the same reason.
