Is there anything more important than a soul? No.
- Church is not more important.
- Doctrine is not more important
- Politics is not more important
- Family is not more important
However a soul is a long term entity. By focusing on short term results,
the winning of the one soul, we lose the advantage of long term conversions.
- If a soul is reached but never taught doctrine,
even if he is taught to win others, eventually the process of winning
souls will degenerate
- If a church is organized, but not around sound
doctrine, that church and those that come out of it will eventually
degenerate into something incapable of winning lost
- If a family unit isn't preserved eventually the
family will be unable to maintain a functioning part of the church and
souls will not be won
By the very emphasis of soul winning to the exclusion of other truths,
the one thing that really matters is what is most impacted negatively.
