Ready, Willing and Able

Men and women surrender daily to full time service in churches and missions. We ‘look up’ to those who have answered the call. They deserve our honor and our respect; above all, they need our prayer support. We might wrongly believe they should be placed high upon a pedestal. They want to minister and lead; not lord it over us.

Am I building up the LORD’s church body? Have I answered His call to the ministry? Every job that advances His kingdom is ministry. God wants to use each of His children as vessels of service. Would others describe me as ready, willing and able?

Soul searching isn’t easy; sometimes it makes me feel ashamed.

God has given all believers spiritual gifts. We have work to do.

Do you enjoy working with children, youth, or adults? Teachers and assistants are always in demand.

Do you have a flair for decorating or cooking? Hospitality is a valuable ministry.

Do you have compassion for the elderly? Many are lonely and would appreciate visits. Men, you could help with yard work and simple vehicle maintenance.

Roll up your sleeves and grab a broom. You’re needed too.

Music is used in worship and ministry. Praise the LORD!

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ (Colossians 3:23 ESV).”
