FAT Christian!!

I don't think that I have ever been more excited to work than I was today. It was my first day on the job at Newspring as an intern. I have been thinking of planting a Church for some time and working at Newspring gives me the opportunity to see the effort that goes on behind the scenes. I have seen what goes on Sunday during the service, but I have never seen the numerous hours that it takes throughout the week to make it work. I think we should all keep the Newspring staff in our prayers, as well as the other church staffs around the world that sell out for the glory of God.
I believe Newsring church has around 80 staff members that work full time. We look at the success of Newspring and wander how? The number one reason, is simply God. The second reason is the staff and countless number of people who pitch in to make it nothing less of amazing. I think it's a shame when people put the church second, and complain about the lack of success it has. If we began to focus on the church as much as we focused on our overtime hours and retirement plan things might change. I am a kineseology(sports medicine) major at Anderson University so I am really big on fitness and proper diet. Saturday I was sitting at Walmart when I saw a huge woman probably in her mid to upper 20s riding one of those motorized buggy's. Now before you call me mean and inconsiderate, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and figured she may have some injury. Then I saw her drive to the door of walmart, and she got up and walked out. NOW!!! If I am an actual handicap person, I might track her down and slap her in the back of the neck. For those of you out there who are saying fat is a handicap, I'm here to tell you that NO it's NOT! I can't even begin to describe how disgusted I was when I saw that. She wasn't fat, she was HUGE! I mean, there really is no since in that. She's going to get home and wander why she is the way she is. Well maybe it's because she doesn't do anything to improve her condition. She could have got some exercise while she was walking around wal-mart, but she didn't she got a buggy.
This is the same problem with the church, and the christian of today. The church is going down hill and we know it, but we're too lazy to fix it. For all of you people out there who are saying "God will bless us on his own time." Memorize this quote. "Without God, I can not, but without me God will not." God has a plan for each individual person and will reveal it on his own time, IF we do our part to serve him and give him our life to make and mold. I thinks it's so stupid when a church is going down hill, and are content. What the church needs is for someone to show them how to get off the motorized buggy. We look around and ask what we need to do, to get the church headed back in the right direction. The answer is really quite simple, get out of your pue and head out into all the world and spread the word of God. It's time the church stops being lazy and instead of doing things half-way, sell out for God!
