Wonderfully Said…
“If you are called to the place where you are, a few questions need to be considered. For example, how would you be missed if you left this place? What would change? Basically, what difference does your presence make here? Or, as my youth pastor once asked me, what would your church (and the world wide church) look if everyone was as committed as you are? If everyone gave and served and prayed exactly like you, would the church be healthy and empowered? Or would it be weak and listless?…My purpose is to get your to take 1 Corinthians 12 seriously, to believe that you have been given a manifestation of the Spirit and that your church, the worldwide body of Christ, and the world are crippled without your involvment…you are more than just a helpful addition. You are a vital member!”
Passage from Forgotten God by Francis Chan.
