Food For Thought
January 21, 2008 |
The downside to our personal pietistic tradition in the Western church is that devotionally minded people can become lost in themselves. My spiritual development should not be just for my own sake, but for the sake of the church as well. It is the church that calls me into ministry, that confirms my ordination. It is the church that Jesus is coming for someday.
Those of us who like to fly our own kite need to remember that we don’t exist for ourselves but for the glory of God and for the good of the church.
