Hello Students,
Who is a member of a local church?
Are you a member because you warm a pew and give the required money?
What does the Holy Bible say?
"For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?" 1 Corinthians 12:14-17
A foot, an ear, an eye, and a nose all have a function.
If you attend a local church and don't have a function, are you really a member?
Sure the pastor expects you to attend and warm a pew and give money, but does he or she guide you into ministry?
Many Christians today are simply expected to do nothing else but to attend and give money! Every Christian has a ministry. Most don't have a ministry in the local church, and the pastor could care less! He is a one man show!
Many pastors only look at their congregation as their pay check or even their retire fund.
So, you need to belong to a local church where you have a function!
In Jesus,
Bruce
