Luke 11.23 observes whoever does not gather with Me scatters.

The Church’s mission is the Great Commission which is the mobilization of every Christian for the saturation of the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ until every person loves God and obeys His commands. Some will travel far from their home town to do this work but most will stay where they themselves were converted in order to make more disciples of Jesus Christ right where they now live.

The truth however is that few Christians anywhere can identify anyone that they themselves have been integral in bringing into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ or coaching them in their christian development toward obedience to all the commands of God.

This failure to gather by the church with Jesus explains why so many people are scattered from knowing God or living lives pleasing to Him.

Europe is essentially godless because the church failed to focus upon and fulfill its mission there. The United States has become increasingly more godless as the church here continues to fail at the work of making disciples of all people by teaching them to obey Jesus Christ.

The work is plentiful but the workers are few because few Christians understand they are required to work. Christians are referred to as slaves and servants of Christ in the Scriptures whose purpose is to do the will of God for God’s glory to increase upon the earth.

If America is to return to its Christian heritage then the Christians of America will lay down their lives and take up their cross and follow Jesus into seeking and saving the lost.
