Backward Christian soldiers, fleeing from the fight
With the Cross of Jesus nearly out of sight.
Christ our rightful master, stands against the foe
But forward into battle, we are loathe to go.
Like a might tortoise moves the Church of God
Brothers we are treading where we've always trod.
We are much divided, many bodies we
Having many doctrines, not much charity.
Crowns and thorns may perish, kingdoms rise and wane,
But the Church of Jesus hidden does remain.
Gates of Hell should never 'gainst the Church prevail
We have Christ's own promise, but think that it will fail.
Sit here then ye people, join our useless throng
Blend with ours your voices in a feeble song
Blessings, ease and comfort, ask from Christ the King
With our modern thinking, we don't do a thing.

The christians in question are in most cases only following the Pastor. Since he does nothing as far as personally performing evangelism they follow suit. How many pastors say hey I would like to introduce you to John Doe I lead him to the Lord Shoeple need a leader.
In my experience, most of them do this. Those willing to beat the bushes or, in some way, minister to those outside the box (read: church) are few and far between regardless of the example set by the pastor.
