A Choice
Are you interested in continuing on in your spiritual journey or is this the place you want to stop?
Our Father in heaven, the Lord Jesus Christ or the Holy Spirit does not force any of us to do anything we don’t want to do. The Lord has given you everything you need to fulfill the purpose of the Church. The choice you now have is becoming a good faithful Church member or going beyond that and fulfilling the great commission.
I am not an enemy of the church. If you want to become a church member and are happy with that, God bless you. That is what many Christian people settle for; you would be in the majority.
There is a minority that will not settle for that and they will go out into the world and become workers in the fields that are ripe to harvest.
I have met a number of Christian people that are not involved in any church or fellowship. I was talking with one person a while ago and I asked this person what kind of relationship he had with God. He told me that his relationship was personal and intimate. He then continued on and told me he was not going to any church now but that several years ago he was very much involved in a church. The pastor had some problems and it left him pretty much responsible and everyone was looking up to him to take care of everything. He did not even have time for his own family. As soon as he could, he gave other people all the responsibility and left the church. His closing comment was; “Now I am free!”
I am sure there are those that can relate to this story.
The point I want to bring out is, this person is free from the responsibility, but it seems like he is still in the majority. He is not in the minority that have chosen to go out into the world and become one of the workers in the harvest that God is looking for.
We can become free of our responsibilities in the church. The question is as Christians do we have a responsibility in the world?
We need to be a part of the church. We need to be free, and hopefully, we go out in the world and become a worker in the harvest.
