The Duty of the Church

"The duty of the church is not only to teach saints but also to warn men of God's standards. We've got to proclaim that man is a sinner, that he's separated from a holy God, and that in the eyes of God he's an object of God's judgment—he's a child of wrath, as Paul says in Ephesians 2:13. To boldly proclaim the truth about Jesus Christ and the truth about man in his sin is to divide.".            -   John MacArthur
