I have a very different take on "church" than many believers here.

The community of the church SHOULD be a bulwark against the world, insulated from the wicked, willful sinners like open, advocating homosexuals. After all, there are a lot of spiritual babies there. Should we allow ravening wolves to roam the nursery?

Therefore, I believe the vast majority of witnessing and admonition to the lost should be done on the neutral streets, in our daily lives. We go to church to recharge with others who, though beset with sins, come to confess these to one another as such, and who seek the Lord's help in being delivered from them.

Then, we are recharged to do battle in the world.

Must be nice to go to a church without any sinners in it.

Don’t agree.

Though street witnesses is important by living out your christian walk to those among you, family, co-workers, friends, customers etc to get them to come to church...

The worship of God and the preaching of the Word lets the Holy Spirit work on their hearts to believe...
