Far too many Christians have a negative attitude about the church. They see the church as an inevitable loser in this world in its battle against Satan and his forces. This is not the teaching of the New Testament. No where in the New Testament does it tell the church to give in to Satan but to march forward with the gospel till the kingdom of this world becomes the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ. (Rev. 11:13). Jesus must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet (1 Corinthians 15:25). The church has a task to do and must march forward in that task and be faithful till the Lord comes.
