Church Services and the Post-Christian
I find it interesting that Jesus never once called anyone to make an appearence at a church service. He simply laid out a two-word invitation: “Follow Me.” This is important to remember, because if our post-Christian friend declines an invitation to church, this isn’t the end of the road in our spiritual friendship. There are plenty of ways to invite someone to experience Jesus besides attending a church service.

Fred,
Great thoughts. Though it seems that when someone rejects our invitation, there are far too many of us who dust our sandals off and move on. Boy, I am glad that God doesn't just move on when we resist his gentle nudgings.
You are right, there are plenty of ways to invite someone to experience Jesus besides attending a church service. It seems that being missional involves being more than church/buidling centered and really puts the emphasis on us to enter our world with the same concern Christ has for the lost as He does.
