Somewhere along the way the definition of church member changed to look more like country club member. Shame on us. For many American Christians the most important question they ask regarding church is, “What’s in it for me?” This runs contrary to the real question, “What can I put into it?”
The church is about service, just not you being served. Rather it’s about you serving. Everyday we should look for opportunities to serve those around us. Those people include other church members and non-church members alike. We must remember that it is not about us. We are all a part of something much bigger.
Together we make up the body of Christ. Are you a hand, foot, arm, or some other part? As we continue to grow in number it will become increasingly difficult to fight the urge to not be a come and be served church. We MUST also be a come and serve kind of church. Why? Christ taught us how to serve. Let us follow Jesus’ example and make a difference in the lives of those around us. Search for ways to be a game changer in the life of someone God will put in your life.
