Goals of the Church

The primary goal is not a bigger group, more activities or better services, it is not even benevolent acts, nor greater prosperity, and not even more and better evangelism, neither is it healing or emotional healing and deliverance. All of these and more are the results of the goal of the "ekklesia" (assembly of called out ones). The goal is Christ formed by the Holy Spirit in a people becoming His character and His nature in the world producing the kingdom of God and His righteousness. - Ron McGatlin

The problem with the most churches nowadays is a matter of priority. We, as body of Christ, should know what the Holy Spirit is intending for us to do. Revival, new souls, healing and miracle movements are meaningless if the movers of these have nothing, not even a tinge of Jesus’ likeness and image in them. I’ve heard of people with great anointing who had lives similar to the unsaved themselves, which sends the wrong message to unbelievers. All these things are worthless if Jesus is not seen in us. Our prayer meetings and conferences are mere echoes on an empty hall if our lives are lacking in Jesus’s purposes.
