Discipleship Versus EvangelismLadies and Gentlemen in the right corner, weighing in at 2 tons, the need-meeting, care-providing, sinner’s prayer-saying, heavyweight champion of the church world… EVANGELISM! And on the left, at 50 lbs., but standing 40 feet high, the leadership-developing, people-challenging, vision-carrying… DISCIPLESHIP!
I use humor to introduce this topic, because it’s scary how lopsided the Body of Christ has become. Most churches center around one of these two “champions” of the church world. Some churches live to evangelize, while others exist to disciple. They end up either 100 miles wide and 1” deep or 40’ deep and 1” wide. The challenge comes when you try to do both. God has designed His church to be balanced! Most pastors wrestle with; do I develop the people I have, challenging them to go further, or do I focus on bringing in new people and let things slide? Doing both is difficult.
