觉得在教会没有太多服事的机会,我该怎么办?

2016-07-08 健康教会九标志 健康教会九标志


有些时候,我们太过注重教会的“官方”活动和正式的职位,以至于忽略了眼前的很多机会。为了纠正这种可能存在的“近视”问题,这里有两件事,是你随时可以在任何教会中参与的。



【1】寻找需要,加以满足。即使是拥有最佳人员和最好服侍的教会,也不可能毫无所需。教会总是会有孩子需要照看、有饭菜需要烹饪、房间需要清洁、或是其他成员身处困境的时候。所以祷告神帮助你看到他人的需要,并且谦卑地帮助他们,即使这服侍是默默无闻的。


【2】寻找门徒,加以栽培。所有在天堂这边的信徒都在成圣的道路上,神希望所有的基督徒用爱心说诚实话,建立教会(弗4:11-16,西3:16-17)。所以寻找那些你可以在爱中讲真理的人,以及那些也能同样对你这样做的人。邀请一些新成员来你家同进晚餐,了解他们属灵的状况。找到一位年轻的信徒,和他一起查考圣经并且祷告。


服侍教会并不需要邀请函。每个教会都有需要参与的服事,每个教会都有信徒需要栽培。因此主动出击,给他人带来属灵的好处。



I don’t feel like there are opportunities for me to get involved in my church. What should I do?


Answer


Sometimes we get so fixated on programs and official positions in the church that it’s easy to miss opportunities right in front of our eyes. To help remedy that potential near-sightedness, here are two ways that you can always get involved in any church.


【1】Find needs to meet. No church, even the best-staffed and best-served, has absolutely all of its needs met. There are always children to watch, meals to cook, rooms to clean, members in times of special need, and much more. So pray that God would enable you to find others’ needs and meet them in a spirit of humble service, even if they aren’t particularly glamorous.


【2】Find Christians to disciple. All Christians this side of heaven are works in progress, and God wants all Christians to build up the church to maturityby speaking the truth in love (see Eph. 4:11-16, Col. 3:16-17). So find people whom you can speak the truth in love to, and who can do the same for you. Ask a couple of new members over to your home for dinner and get to know the state of their souls. Find a younger Christian and begin reading Scripture and praying together.


Serving in the church is not something we should need a special invitation to do. In every church there will be needs to meet and Christians to disciple. So take the initiative and find ways to do others spiritual good.
