More than just saving souls

One of my long-term goals in ministry is to change my orientation from a modernistic, individualistic view of the faith (i.e., "my salvation") to a Kingdom-centered outlook. Today I ran across this post by John Schroeder that stated the case very starkly:

. . . the church is not here to produce my salvation. The church is here solely to praise God and to reflect His glory and grace. Make no mistake, many will find salvation in that, but bringing that salvation is not the church's purpose. Again, I am not certain what metric truly reflects fruit-bearing - but it is not "saved souls." God's glory is so much more than that.

Wow. You got my attention with that one, John.
