MARKET PLACE CHRISTIANITY

Christianity needs to be practised in the market place if it is going to have an impact. Too many are comfortable meeting in church buildings where it is safe. Jesus spent most of His time in the market place. This is where sinners were and this is where the need is. Too much inward looking has kept the church stifled and weak. Growth occurs when your faith can be applied in the market place.Your faith is useless unless it can be applied in the market place. Faith rises when it is challenged. Jesus moved among the populace because He came for them. He spent time in the synagogue but all they did was to reject Him and His message. People in the market place followed Him and werie healed in mind and body. This is what the church is called to do. If the church continues to be cloistered within its four walls it will decay and die.
