Primary Purpose
PRIMARY PURPOSE The purpose of this Christian society called the "Church" is, first: to glorify God by our worship. We do not go to church just to hear a sermon. We go to church to worship God. — Billy Graham, in PEACE WITH GOD. New York: Pocket Books, 1963, p. 194. [Please, join us in prayer this week for the Greater Louisville Billy Graham Crusade, June 21-24, 2001. Thank God for Dr. Graham’s continued good health and for the wonderful spirit among hundreds of local churches to support the ministry of the crusade. May many men, women and children hear, believe, and respond to the message of God’s love as it is proclaimed, and may God receive all the glory.
