If being a good person (Jesus said none was “good” save God) and having a belief in something was enough, why did Jesus preach? Why did his disciples? He said the gospel or good news would be preached in the entire inhabited earth, were there no good people believing in something in the whole world?
What are the “regular church goers” learning when they go?

Thanks for your response, CYC.

You bring up excellent, Scriptural points. I honestly don’t know what these people are hearing in church; maybe they’re not paying attention, or maybe they’re not being taught a message of salvation.

It’s very sad; virtually everyone I know is Catholic and none have a deep acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Savior. (And I am NOT saying that Catholics in general don’t have this faith, but the people around here just use their Catholic Church as a country club!) They speak of God as I have mentioned in earlier posts, and when I tell them of the message of salvation, they, of course, think I’m preaching and want to change the subject.

I’ll pray that the Lord send laborers (other than myself) to harvest these souls (Matt 9:37-8).
