EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS!
I was praying about what I was going to blog about this morning when I read a post that a fellow Pastor, and good friend of mine, had written. EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS POST! If you do one thing today, read this post and put it into action. Then see how the world changes!
Here’s part of his post, but you can check it out in all it’s glory by clicking here.
“What if everyone in your church shared your attitude…
…about service? Would anything get done? Or would everyone be serving like there was no tomorrow?
…about giving? Would the church go bankrupt? Or would the church’s ministry explode?
…about change? Would the church stagnate because change would be disallowed? Or would the church take new challenges and explore new avenues to share the message of Christ?
…about others? Would people be drawn to your church because of the love and compassion they receive? Or would they run because of the judgment and criticism that abounds?”
Insightful, I know. But here’s my favorite part of Mike’s post.
“One reason that some believers can get away with junk attitudes is because everyone doesn’t share their attitude. They can afford to be selfish and self-centered . They can afford to be critical and judgmental. They can afford to do that because not everyone shares their attitude.”
Put yourself to the test. Would you want everyone to share your attitude at your church, work, or in your home? Think about what that would do to those places, and if it wouldn’t dramatically change those places for the better, CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE!
