Don't ask what the church can do for you

John F. Kennedy famously said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

I urge you to have the same mindset toward the church and the Lord.

Ask not what the Lord and the church can do for you, ask what you can do for the Lord and the church.

Although God loves when we ask for His beloved guidance, we do need to have a servant attitude and ask what He wants us to do.

Many people define Christianity based on a certain church leader or church.  Churches are made up of people.  Church leaders are people.  And people have flaws.  We should never worship them.  We should only worship God and His Son Jesus.  If you find a certain leader or church to be a "bit off" before casting a wide net and tossing it all away in pursuit of a less than noble cause, ask God if there is something you can do.  It could be that God is pushing you to do something.
