Saved To Serve

It seems as though, in the church today, that service and the commitment to the ministry of the gospel has taken the back seat to superficial, recreational, entertaining events and programs which neither effect the commission of discipling the lost nor impress upon their hearts the passion or purpose of Christ. Churches and saints have become increasingly focused and even consumed with secondary, mundane matters while more pressing, weightier interests of the church remain scarcely performed. Why is it that we can “pack the house” for something recreational or entertaining, but we can always find something better to do when there's work or service edifying involved? Jesus amassed a large following as long as He healed or fed the people. But, when He stopped to teach, the crowds grew thin. Let's not be in it for what get out of it. Our reward is in Heaven, but our labor is here on earth. Remember, we were Saved to Serve.
