Three Big Questions: Where?

May 27, 2009 Print This Post

Today, we’re looking at the second of three questions that are great to ask yourself or someone you are mentoring:

“Where?”

Quite simply, where are you serving? Each of us is called to be serving in the local church and yet most people who claim to follow Jesus don’t serve in the local church at all. This is what Paul has to say about that:

1 Corinthians 12:18 But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it. 19 How strange a body would be if it had only one part! 20 Yes, there are many parts, but only one body. 21 The eye can never say to the hand, “I don’t need you.” The head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you.”

You are needed in the body of Christ.

So here’s your action step: find a place to serve in your local church. Don’t wait until life gets “less busy” because it never will. Do it now.

Growing up in the Lansing area, I wanted nothing more than to get out. My exit strategy included a complex mixture of schemes for an urban church plant, iProducts, and an elaborate Bollywood car chase scene with zombies and catchy techno music.

As a 40 year old man, I find myself entrenched in the Lansing area at a church I love (Riverview), with 4 kids I love more (a high schooler, a junior higher, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and a wife I love the most (Grace).

Instead of planting one church, I dream of helping hundreds get started without ever leaving my home base. I still love my iProducts and use them as tools to help lead and teach the thousands who attend Riverview. And when no one is looking, I blare the techno music and send my unimpressive resume to casting agents for Bollywood zombie films.
