The Sluggard's Garden

The church is a garden that requires diligent effort. Why should we give diligent effort to the church? 1-The church has vital work to do. 2-Many churches are abandoning this vital work. 3-Our nation sorely needs gospel preaching churches. 4-We must keep faith with the founders of the church. 5-We invite the Lord's chastisement if we lack diligence. 6-Christ was not sluggish and never will be in regard to the church.
