Bethel NewsBethel Lutheran Brethren ChurchPsalm 149

Embracing the WorldMartin Luther declared that a new Christian must withdraw from the world for aseason, but upon reaching spiritual maturity he must embrace the world as thetheater of redemptive activity. His message was, Away with the cowards who fleefrom the real world and cloak their cowardice with piety.

Perhaps the greatest need for our day is the need to market Jesus Christ. Thechurch must become expert in marketing, not in the slick Madison Avenue style butin an aggressive, yet dignified way. The marketplace is where we belong. It iswhere needy people are found. It is not enough for the church to hang a welcomesign on her door. We dare not wait for the world to come to us.

God never intended the Christian community to be a ghetto. The church is not areservation. Yet the pervasive style of modern evangelicalism is that of areservation or a ghetto. We can argue that it is the secularist agenda to put us thereand keep us there. But such arguments wont do. We are there because it is safeand comfortable to be there.

The secularist hates the light and is quite willing to offer us a bushel for it. Shameon us when we buy custom-made bushels and willingly place them over ourcandles. To hide the light or to restrict it to a reservation is to do violence to thegospel and to grieve the Holy Ghost.
