Because it is God’s arrangement, local churches have a vital part in accomplishing God’s work on earth. (I do not intend for this statement to discount individual discipleship.) Local churches, when properly instructed and motivated, can do much to teach the gospel to the lost, bring saints to perfection (maturity), and help brethren in need. Let us not waste our time, work and resources on activities, regardless of how noble they might seem, that are not our responsibility. Let us be about our Father’s business (Lk. 2:49). If we can accomplish that, we will have little time to focus on anything else.
