“Evangelicals over the last 40 years, I fear, have concentrated too much on the church, church life, church membership, the ordained ministry, eldership, all of which have a place; but too little on our greatest treasure, the message of the gospel itself, and too little on the whole church being mobilized to take it directly to folk. The Prims [Primitive Methodists] challenge us to re-evaluate our emphasis. They also remind us that an evangelism that has a ‘four walls mentality’ and can only function in a church building centered way is too restrictive.
Our Lord said: ‘…Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.’ And the servant said, ‘Lord it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.’ And the Lord said unto the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.’ (Luke 14:21-23)”
