How can you make your faith a vibrant, living part of your daily existence? Be faithful to your church, even if it isn’t perfect and its leadership isn’t unerring. Realize your church can never do its job if you are doing nothing but tearing it apart by a host of ongoing complaints.
Another story to make my point. A minister had had a car for many years and finally it began to break down. He simply didn’t have the mechanical knowledge to repair it, nor did he feel he could afford to have it worked on, so he sold it to a young mechanical genius in high school.
The young man was ecstatic. “I will make it as good as new. Thank you for the opportunity. ”
And so he began to work on the car. Month after month when the minister would pass by his house, he would see the garage door open and the young man diligently working away. Over a year had past and he continued to work on the car to make it perfect before he drove it.
Two years passed and a third year was about to become a reality and still the car was not being driven.
Shaking his head, the minister muttered to himself, “I know that ole car wasn’t perfect and that it needed a lot of repair, but mechanical genius or not he seems to have forgotten that cars are for going places and getting things done. ”
The church…your faith…they are for going places and getting things done. Never forget it.
