Halverson: come to church?

Feast of Hugh, Carthusian Monk, Bishop of Lincoln, 1200
Meditation:
[Jesus:] “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.”
—Luke 6:36 (NIV)

Quotation:
Nowhere in the Bible is the world exhorted to “come to church.” But the church’s mandate is clear: she must go to the world... the work of the ministry belongs to the one in the pew, not the one in the pulpit.
... Richard C. Halverson (1916-1995), The Timelessness of Jesus Christ, Regal Books, 1982, p. 104 (see the book)
See also Luke 6:36; Prov. 3:3-4; Joel 2:28-31; Matt. 24:14; 28:19-20; Rom. 12:6-8; 2 Cor. 5:18-19; Col. 1:28

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, may the ministry of Your people to the world prosper and increase.
