Loyalty

Ephesians 2: 19

Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household….

 

There are some people in the frame work of the church, that think church membership isn’t important.

The true teaching of God’s Word though, says that we should be local members of the fellowship of believers.

So if we’re part of God’s family, why do so many stay outside of that organization?

 

Did you know that unity within the body of saints, requires loyalty?

We don’t see loyalty in the church like we did some centuries ago.

Something happens that slightly ticks people off, and they often run for the cover of another church.

 

The question should not be when we come to church…. “What’s in it for me?”

The question should be…. “How can God use me, to fulfill the spiritual and practical needs of others in this fellowship?”

 

It’s obvious that there is no shortage of needs to go around in the church.

Each person if they look deep enough in their heart, can find someone to help.

Many hands do make lighter work.

 

Each person should bring a loyal heart into the church house.

We’re supposed to be a family, and the church is a great place to foster that kind of attitude.

 

We’re not a part of a church, to be served—we’re part of the local church, to serve…..
