ARE YOU A RELIGIOUS CONSUMER, OR A SPIRITUAL PROVIDER?
As our diocesan convention approaches, many of us attending will come away with a better understanding: of ministry and discipleship, and how we can implement this within our own church. Every one of us (yes, us who sit in the pews each Sunday) has the opportunity to be a minister, and a disciple of Jesus whether we know it or not.
Ministry is not just for the priest. We have many ministries at St. Paul's in which we can be a part of. Are you a Iay reader? Then you are a minister. Are you a chalice bearer? Then you are a minister. Do you teach Sunday school? Then you are a minister. We have social ministries, too. Do you host coffee hour? Then you are a minister. If you help with our community programs, then you are a minister.
If you don't see yourself as a disciple, ask yourself this question? When I see someone in need, do I look away, or do I help him or her? Just as Jesus came to help people with both their spiritual and physical needs. As Jesus' disciples, we should do the same. Whether we say a prayer for someone in need, or we help someone in our daily lives, we have the opportunity to be disciples.
In this secular world we live in, all of us experience time overload. Whether it is the demands of our job, family, or pther involvements, we all have too much to do. It certainly is easy to say, "I just am too bu,sy to do any more". We can go through our life being a religious consumer. One who does things out of convenience rather than serving Christ? Or we can be a spiritual provider, one who does things with the help of the Holy Spirit in accordance with God's will. This is where ministry and discipleship come in. This is where the joy of serving is found. If you find the time to move serving God up one notch on your ladder, then you too will experience the heartfelt joy He wants for all of us.
