How do you serve?

Gregory Bastien

Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.  Psalm 100:2 (NIV)

Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing!  Psalm 100:2 (ESV)

On the way from my home to the expressway, I pass a country church with a sign out front. Every week there is a new sentiment on that sign. Sometimes it’s funny and sometimes not; but, it always makes me think! Recently, this is what the sign said:

                    ENTER TO WORSHIP

                      EXIT TO SERVE

How do you serve the Lord?

Do you….

• Pray for others?
• Lead a Sunday School/Life Group class?
• Visit the sick or elderly?
• Support your church by tithing?
• Go on Mission Trips?
• Donate food or clothing to the needy?
• Feed the homebound or the homeless?

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.  By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34-35 (NIV)

Do you simply love one another?

Ruth
