Helping Your Church #5 of 8

How to be a Helpful to Your Church
I came across some helpful information written by Dr. Dale A. Robbins regarding helping your church. So I will be posting it here in this blog- spot over the course of the next week or so.
I liked it so much that I shared it with my church already. There are 8 segments to what Dr. Robbins wrote about this and we will include all 8 of them in our looking at church helps

Help Shoulder the Load of responsibility
Pastors and leaders of the church often feel much like Moses did when Israel fought with Amelek. Their arms became weary under the weight of so many responsibilities and they need brothers and sisters to stand beside them and help distribute the load. But Moses' hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands on one side, and the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. (exodus 17:12)

The Lord never intended for the whole ministry fo the church to be carried solely by the pastor or a mere handful of people. It's said that 80% of the work gets done by 20% of the people, and sadly, this has caused the burnout of its many outstanding workers. If everyone would simply pitch in and do their fair share in helping, serving, and giving, all the needs would be met and no one would be overburdened. Be willing to volunteer with whatever needs done and don't be finicky about what you will or will not do.. Do as the scriptures says, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.." (Eccesiastes 9:10) And don't help out just for strokes of attention, but do it for God's glory.

A church is like any other organization with human resources. No one ever starts out at the top. Everyone knows that we have to start at the entry level. But if a believer continues to grow strong in Christian character and proves faithful and responsible to the basic tasks given to them in the church, they will likely be promoted to greater responsibility and minisrty.
"He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much." (Luke 16:10)

Be blessed of the Lord!
