It's Game Time Church

Matt. 5:13-16
    
    Remember, church is not something “we do.” The church is who we are. We are to be the body of Christ doing His work in the world (Col. 1:18-20). Now is the time to check in on that couple you haven’t seen at worship in awhile. Now is the time for you to call that person you’ve been trying to study the Bible with. Now is the time to do good so that people might see our Father living through us. We go to worship, study the bible, teach it to our kids for moments like this. The world needs the church now more than it has in the past decade. “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men” (Matt. 5:13). If we don’t act now, we might as well throw out salt out. We are good for nothing. “You are the light of the world, A city set on a hill cannot be hidden… Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven” (Matt. 5:14 & 16). Go be the church. We can do untold good for the community and the Lord’s church now. ‘What use is it, my brethren if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, “go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? Even so faith, if it has no works is dead, being by itself' (James 2:14-17). Do not let this golden opportunity pass you up. So many people are stuck at home looking for something to do, a video bible study, a dish left at their door, etc. Please, now is game time. Rise to the occasion and be about our Head’s business. I love you all!
