Today, we look at a course choice. We can either as a church choose to be a maintenance-mode church, where we only focus on buildings, budgets anyd by-laws. This attitude ignores and avoids the people dying without Christ in the sea of life or we can have a mission-mode attitude that builds bridges rather than burns them to reach people who are counterculture to us. To help us choose a mission-mode attitude, Jesus told a story or parable, which is probably the most famous parabel He ever told -- The Parable of the Good Samaritan.
