“The role of the church is to see a need, meet a need,”

Thank goodness this guy's not in a leadership position at my church. The role of the church is to confront a lost world, preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and help save souls.

And so they do, but you will have to read more of the article. The KC Star must be excerpted legally.

I’m in the leadership of my church and that is exactly what we do. Find a need and meet it.

If you haven’t noticed, “confronting” a lost world with the gospel is a lot more effective when you’re meeting their needs, or your ministry is known for it. Lost people are attracted to it, and if I recall Jesus healed, fed and met lots of needs in his “confrontations”. Shouldn’t we do the same?

Read the article before condemning a man who found a way to reach more people instead of only those who had suits....fancy clothes do not improve worship or carrying the Word....he gets it.
