The question is 'Why'?

The question is ‘Why’?

Pastor Eddie’s message yesterday was right on the money. I was sitting there nodding yes to him. I know people around me thought something probably was wrong with my neck. I wanted to yell ‘You go Eddie!’

My question is ‘Why’? Why do we do what we do? The answer is God. Why do we run a camera on Sunday? God! Why do we get up early on Sunday morning? God! Why do we change baby diapers of someone else’s child? God! Why do say hello to people? God! Why do we take the time out to be in Life groups? God! Why do we participate in Bible Studies? God! Why do attend church? God! Why do we volunteer? God! From the beginning to end and everything in between should be about God. Reaching people, growing in our own relationship with Christ, being an example for nonbelievers and believers are a few of the in between. The list goes on and on. If you doubt an action, then don’t do it. If you feel God would not approve, don’t do it.

We as Christians are the light for others. We are the fire. If you feel someone may put your fire out, get away from them. Gather your candles and I will be glad to share my flame. We need to be on FIRE for GOD! Let people see it. Let people feel it. You may be their only hope. Invite people to church, invite people to serve, invite people to learn! Be the person God wants us each to be.

If you have a chance to serve, do it. If you have a chance to go to a life group, go. If you a chance to ask some one to help. Ask them. God places things in front of you for a reason. Don’t close that door or window.

If you have one of the ‘Jesus Is’ shirts, look into the mirror with it on. Jesus is YOU! Jesus is ME! Jesus is in us and needs to be seen!

Easter is coming. I need volunteers on fire to serve that weekend. Are you one of them? Get out of your box. Try something new. If you usually greet, try to usher. If you usually work the kiosk, help the café. Let’s show the fire at Easter. Let’s show the people how much we love God and love our church. Please sign up at volunteer central if you can serve that weekend. I need you to show the fire, God needs you to show his fire! If you want to do all five then do that.
