Agree/Disagree?
Do you agree or disagree with this South African Pastor’s statement?
“For many years I thought Jesus wanted me to save souls. And then I discovered Jesus wanted me to save people. There’s a whole lot more than getting them to pray a little prayer.”
—John Thomas, pastor of Fish Hoek Baptist Church in Cape Town, South Africa

Agree! Although it appears a play on words “souls-people”, the point is that there’s a whole lot more than getting them to pray a little prayer; so I’d have to agree.

Right on, Val. Unless… he’s more concerned about their physical state above their eternal.

What about making disciples? I know I ought not read too much into a simple quote like this, but I hope his parishioners ask some questions.
