The church is doing it wrong. They could have been showing these people the love of Christ.

The church could have been praying for them. They could have been getting to know them.

If I were there, instead of posting license plate numbers online and “urging them to repent,” I would throw a backyard BBQ and invite their entire staff over. Clothed, preferably. I certainly would not go aggressive and start condemning the sinners.

Jesus went to the wrong kind of parties.

If you are doing church right, there will be “bad people” who come to your service. If you love them they will be drawn to you. They won’t even know why they want to come. And they will hear about Jesus. Then one day, they will get really convicted and the Lord will draw them to Himself.

I can see from the photo that the church is really small. And they’ve been there at least nine years. Not growing much, are we? I wonder why...

“It’s a hospital for sinners, not a sanctuary for saints” as an old Assembly Of God pastor I knew once said
