Are we a church people or a kingdom people?

I haven't entered anything for a long time and I'm actually considering doing a short commentary on each chapter of Acts sometime soon but for now here's a quote.

"Kingdom people seek first the Kingdom of God and its justice; church people often put church work above concerns of justice, mercy and truth. Church people often think about how to get people into church; Kingdom people think about how to get the church into the world. Church people worry that the world might change the church; Kingdom people work to see the church change the world."

H. Snyder

How does this statement resonate with you?

What might it look like for us to be most concerned with getting the church into the world?
