Please do not comment on this post. Please think and pray about your own personal response to this post. Share your dreams and your questions with your pastor at some point.
Something to think about...
What is your most productive Body Life Ministry that you are involved in at this time? Does God want you to serve in another Body Life Ministry AS WELL, or INSTEAD OF? If you are not involved in a specific Body Life Ministry, then WHY NOT.
By, "Body Life Ministry" I am referring to the service you render to, through, and under the authority of your local congregation and leadership. This can be in teaching, administration, proclamation, helps, evangelism, music, group, office and many other avenues. In order to serve in this capacity, the believer must meet Biblical qualifications.
All Christians have, "Personal Ministry." Serving God daily in your family, your community, your job and witnessing as the normal part of your relationship with Jesus is Personal. Even your Personal Ministry should be in submission to church leadership. The minutia of our lives should not be controlled, but should be under authority and in unity with the rest of the body.
When our Body Life is lacking, our inner life is lacking as well. Our Personal Work and our Body Ministries either feed each other or they leech off of each other.
