Ezekiel 44:7 "You have brought into my sanctuary-people who have no heart for God."
Could this be applied to the church today? I find no where in Scripture where we are to invite the unsaved into our place of corporate worship meant only for Christ's disciples. Rather, I find throughout Scripture that we are to go out into the world around us with our testimony of Jesus Christ.
When we invite the unsaved into our churches they can influence us, but when we go out to where they are, we influence them.
So listen to your leaders when they prompt you to invite the unsaved into your church this Easter, and ask why? They will tell you it is an opportunity to get the gospel out. But the truth is, that to reach people like Jesus showed us, we need to go where they live and work. I'm not saying that an unbeliever can't be saved by coming to church, but at the same time what comes in with them should be a concern.
To do what Jesus did will require each person to get involved with people around you, outside your places of worship.
