HOW IS YOUR SERVICE QUOTIENT ?

Is your church stronger because of you?

Nutritionists speak of “empty calories.” In order for these calories to be processed the body must use some of its nutritional resources, yet empty calories do little or nothing to nourish the body in return. Calories from other types of food, however, not only take from the body's strength as they are metabolized, they replenish it.

Do you receive more ministry from the church than you minister to it? God intends for every member of the church body to be served by it, and there are times when even the most spiritually mature members will receive more ministry than they give. Nevertheless, the goal for each of us should be to serve in the church in such a way that it is stronger because we are there.

Everyone who really wants to can do something to strengthen the work of the church. I've visited many homebound or nursing home Christians who maintained a ministry even though they could never attend the church. They prayed faithfully, some even as a part of the church's prayer ministry. Some had a ministry of encouragement through cards or calls; still others determined to be an encourager to all who visited them. Regardless of your limitations of time, strength, or money, your church should be stronger because of you.
