New churches tend to have clear missions. They are committed to reaching people and growing the church. But as the church ages, the mission is subject to drifting. It’s not that the members don’t care about reaching lost people, they just get more concerned about meeting their own needs. Years ago I read a powerful illustration that has helped me to understand this drift and fuel my desire to continue to reach people for Christ. I hope that it will do the same for you.
