There are three types of people in practically every area of our lives: Those that make things happen, those that watch things happen and those that sit around and wonder “What happened?”. This is true of our churches as well.
1. There are those that make things happen. The old adage tells us that 10% of the people do 90% of the work in the church. We also know that “if you need something done, give it to a busy person”. The bulk of the work of the ministry within the congregation is done by just a few.
2. There are those that watch things happen. In every congregation there are many who just ride along with the flow. They show up for services but never take the time or effort to get involved or become a member or grow in their walk.
3. Unfortunately, there are also those who just don’t seem to know what is happening. Let us wake up! The time of Christ’s return in drawing close. Let us not be the Virgins caught without oil in our lamps when the bridegroom returns (Matthew 25).
In 2013 let’s be Christians and church members that Make Things Happen for the good of the Cross!!
There is a fourth group…
Those who try to stop things from happening.
