"God Is Not Looking For Fans"

Jesus never called us merely to gather crowds. He called us to make disciples. Discipleship requires relationship, which requires intentionality. And intentionality is the heart of assimilation. The enemy knows that isolated believers are vulnerable believers. A sheep separated from the flock becomes easy prey. A branch disconnected from the vine cannot bear fruit. Assimilation isn't about church growth. It's about spiritual survival. The greatest tragedy is not when someone leaves the church building. The greatest tragedy is when someone never becomes connected to the Body of Christ.
