I Going Church Lesson for March 16, 1958 THE common expression, "a going church,” can mean a number of different things. Sometimes it means no more than a church the doors of which are seen to be open once in a while, even if only every other Sunday. Sometimes it means a rapidly growing church, one with a big | Sunday school and not enough room to park. Sometimes it UE a means a church with progressive methods and un- !■ usual ideas, or a« ! church that takes the lead in its Dr Foreman denomination. M Ga Hoa« t« Year Friends" There is a better meaning o! I "going church” than any of these. It is an even better meaning than "generous." If the budget of a church runs up over 9100,000 annually, if the people there give to missions more money than any other congregation in the entire state, everybody who knows about IV will call it a going church. But there is something better than that A church really gets going when its members begin to do that simple thing which Jesus told the maa to do who had been bedeviled so long: "Go home to your friends, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you.” A going church Is one whose members talk to other people in their homes and all around the com-munity-talk to them about Christ Winning the Family A going church again, is one where, as the book of Acts puts it, "teaching and preaching” Jesus is going on all the time. The Greek /word fo®u?4pceaching” hers does not mean standing in a pulpit and talking in a loud voice. It means simply telling the story, letting people know. People were not invading one, another’s homes, of course. Each home became its own center of preaching and teaching. Whether a ehurch practices ta- ■ fant baptism, or whether they use a dedication service, all churches agree, in theory, that parents. ought to do whatever they can, i through the years, to introduce ' their children to Christ. A going church is one that helps its young parents to do this. Some parents will tell you they don’t want to influence their children, so they won’t say a word about religion to them but wait and let the boys and girls think for themselves. That’s a bit silUy, isn’t It? You teach your child what is proper food and how to eat it You help them with their arithmetic, you talk to them about everything you know about Why do you keep silence about the most important i Person in the world? If a child never hears the name "Jesus” outside a church, he’s likely to conclude that Jesus doesn’t mean much to his parents . . . and he may never become a Christian at an. Person by Person A going church furthermore is not only telling what Jesus has done “person to person” but also person by person. Paul has- been called the greatest press agent who ever lived. By this it is meant I that he was the most enthusiastic single "salesman” the Christian I faith has ever known. Paul could talk with large crowds, and often did. But when he stayed in a city I for any length of time, we know : he took time for individuals. "You i will remember,” he says to the Thessalonians, "how we dealt with each one of you personally, like a father with his own children.” (I Thess. 2:11, Phillips translation.) A going church may have evangelistic meetings, and evangelistic sermons. But if it takes Saint Paul for a guide, no church will imagine that this is an there 1 i is to evangelism. Distributing the same tract to everybody within range of the church is still not the thing. For people are different "Like a father with his own children," Paul said. A father knows that no two of his children are alike, and what will work’ with one won’t work with another. The Gospel Is always the same; but the ways of telling the Gospel < story so as to persuade people by it are as varied as the personalities of men.
