I was on Dennis Prager's show some time last year and a Christian person called in.
Dennis asked him, "What's the goal of your life?" He said, "To tell others about Jesus." Dennis asked, "What then?" And he said, "When those people become Christians they tell others about Jesus." Dennis asked, "What then?" He answered, "Then they tell people about Jesus."
I understood where this person was coming from, but I think Dennis was making a good point. The point is that Christianity has got to be something more than a Christian Amway system where we just keep building more and more distributors and never sell any product. It's got to have more substance to it and the substance is this: Jesus went about doing good to all men. He went out doing good deeds. It says in that famous verse about salvation by grace, Ephesians 2:8-10, it says that we are saved by grace through faith, not of ourselves, but by grace, a gift of God that no one should boast. Then the very next verse says "we were created by God for good works that we should walk in them"
