How to Help Your Church #8 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 have posted it here in this blog- spot over the course of a 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 all 8 of them have been included in our looking at church helps.
You can scroll the blog and get all 8 segments if you would like to do so.

Contribute to Solutions and not Problems
Every pastor would be thrilled if each of his flock got involved and helped the church in some way.However, they would rejoice if certain ones simply stopped being a pain in the neck! It's a shame that pastors spend so much time putting out fires, that is, squelching problems that could have a negative influence on the whole body, such as gossip, rumors, complaining, misunderstandings, hurt feelings, discontent and so forth. Regrettably, it has been said that 90% of these kinds of problems are generated among the same 10% of the people.

Spiritually mature persons who wish to help their church don't become a part of such problems - instead, they contribute to solutions. They avoid divisive people (Romans 16:17) and don't get caught up in the mischief or grievances of others (1Timothy 5:13). If they are aware of spreading problems in the fellowship, they will try to bring a resolution, or else they bring matters to the attention of spiritual leadership so that they can bring and end to it (Matt 18:15-17).People who wish to be an asset to their church don't participate with or spread problems - they help spiritual leadership resolve them.

Blessings on you,
Pastor Kitner
