Last night we had dinner with several couples and we started talking about some of the whacky things churches do to get people into their church. It is amazing some of the cockeyed and crooked antics employed as "outreach."
Amidst our discussion, I was reminded of a great saying my youth minister used to say regularly: "What you win 'em with, is what you win 'em to."
In other words, if we are getting congregants in our church doors with only pizza and games, then that is what we have won them to. It is a pithy point, and one that stands as a good corrective to many of our outreach endeavors.
