Others

In the Church you will find as many stories as there are people. As many people you will find, you will discover relationships. Unless, of course you are one of those narrow minded, self centered "Christians". The fact that we go to church every Sunday is for several reasons. First, to worship God. Then in this order, Fellowship, Discipleship, Ministry and then Evangelism. Did you notice the list of importance? Yes, God is FIRST! However, 4 of the 5 are about others. A sobering question that needs to be asked of ANY Christ following church every 3 months is, "when do we notice the "others". You know, those ones that are not in our inner circle. LOL, yep that includes the local church. The fact of the matter is this. The song "I just need Jesus" is a false doctrine that is taught in introverted Churches. Jesus not only loves people, he needs people. Not in the "needy" since, but in the since that He wants to involve us in His plan of helping others, through compassion and hands on love. Everyone has a story, and every story is unique and God wants us to hear it. Why?, well to quote a college history professor I had, "History is "His Story". Just a thought.....
