Why Not Close the Church A Call to Preserve Core Gospel Mission
The piece argues against closing churches, warning against reducing the church to a mere community center or social project. It defends maintaining Christ as indispensable, protecting the Gospel's primary aim of reconciling humanity with God while allowing method changes to fit modern times. It cautions against ecumenism becoming union and emphasizes the church's positive social impact and enduring value.
