We live in a ‘me first’ society. The world encourages us to think of ourselves first and others . . . well, rarely. We can sometimes be so consumed with this mentality that we even expect our church to cater to us. It is a reminder that we should not ask our church to serve us.
We should eliminate our grumblings about the style of music, whether I’m hearing my favorite words spoken, our dislikes and other issues. We should instead remember that Christ came to serve, not to be served. If we then are following, living like Christ; then we are part of the local Church to serve and grow the Kingdom of God. We do look out for one another to be sure; it is not however about making the Lord's Church customized to our liking, but to pursue and make his vision for the local body a reality on earth.
