“Go and Be” the Church
This past weekend our church family (FBC McKinney) decided not to come to worship services but to worship through service. We had 1,600 volunteers serve the Lord by serving our community through our “Go and Be” initiatives.
Why such an effort? Because we’ve decided to take Jesus’ words, “love your neighbor as yourself” seriously (Matthew 22:39). He said we love God when we love others. He said, “If you love me you will obey my commands” (John 14:21). He said that others will know we love Him by our love for them (John 13:35).
A large church of spectator Christians tends to produce more of the same. We have enough of those churches. It’s important to “come and see” what God is doing “at church”. But the Church for which Jesus died is actually on the move out in the world as His followers “go and be” the Church 24/7. Taking one Sunday away from our gathering continues to hold high the value or serving our community as Jesus has called us to. We have been blessed to be a blessing.
