What will you do today to further the cause of Christ? Sometimes we get so caught up in the act of living that we forget that it is the Lord who enables us to live successfully.

Part of our responsibility is to share Christ with those around us. Will you call someone today to tell them that they were missed at worship yesterday? Or give your weekly bulletin to your next door neighbor and invite them for next Sunday?

Will you call and thank someone for their participation in yesterday’s service, or encourage them to participate next week? Thank someone for the refreshments or the fellowship or for yesterday’s wonderful music? Or send a card to one of our shut-ins, to encourage them and remind them of God’s love.

Philippians 2:21 chides us by saying, “Everyone looks out for his own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.” Yet we are Christ’s ambassadors and part of our responsibility is to encourage those around us. Your participation is vital! Don’t disappoint the Lord today, but be a blessing for someone, and that blessing will be returned to you. Pastor Jim.
