HOSPITAL: Whangarei / NZ

Hospitals or barracks?

Is the church a hospital?

“OUR [SALVATION ARMY] BUILDINGS ARE GOD’S SPIRITUAL HOSPITALS.” – Madge Unsworth, Maiden Tribute (WarCry o4 November 2017)

Is the church a barracks?

“Far too many Christians regard the Christian Church merely as a clinic, a hospital, instead of realizing that it is more like a barracks.”

We read in Second Timothy 2:3: “ENDURE HARDSHIP WITH US LIKE A GOOD SOLDIER OF JESUS CHRIST.”

We read in First Corinthians 16:13: “BE ON YOUR GUARD; STAND FIRM IN THE FAITH; BE MEN OF COURAGE; BE STRONG.’

because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back – whether

• in the evening, or
• at midnight, or
• when the rooster crows, or
• at dawn.

End:

If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping.'”

“GEORGE WHITEFIELD, THE GREAT ENGLISH EVANGELIST, SAID, ‘I AM DAILY WAITING FOR THE COMING OF THE SON OF GOD.’ BUT HE DID NOT SIT DOWN AND DO NOTHING. HE BURNED OUT HIS LIFE IN PROCLAIMING THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST.” – Billy Graham
