How To Be The ChurchSample

Contribute

A lot of us show up at church, sit in the seats, and when it’s all over we get up and go about out lives.

We make comments like, “I liked worship today. It was really good.” Or, “I didn’t like the songs we sang.” Or maybe, “Man, the message was really good!” Or even, “Ah, I was a little bored today.” We then go about our lives not really letting it affect us or change us.

But being the Church is about doing something.

At LifeChurch.tv, one of our core values is this:

We are spiritual contributors not spiritual consumers. The church does not exist for us. We are the Church, and we exist for the world.

So let me ask you, are you a spiritual consumer? Do you just come to get something out of it and go home pretty much unchanged?

Or, are you a spiritual contributor? That means you really believe this stuff, and you want to do something about it.

If that’s you, then the challenge is to make sure you’re plugged in to serve. Seriously, don’t just read this and be like, “Yeah I should serve.” Actually go and do it! Live out the unique gifts, talents, and purpose that God has given you.
