I absolutely love sports, but I am not good at any of them. I am not even a very good arm chair quarterback. I was the type of kid that was usually picked last or close to it when teams were choosing sides. So I know I a thing or two about bench warming. That’s where I spent most of my limited sports career. I was a bench warmer.
But ever since I truly found Jesus Christ to be my Lord and Savior, I am determined not to be a bench warmer. I am going to be a kingdom builder! I’m jumping into the game with both feet! And the beauty part is that with God’s strength I can be used by Him to help further His kingdom. I am resolved to not be a pew warmer this time around.
So I ask you, do you go to church once a week and just attend the worship service? Or are you more involved in your local church or some type of evangelistic endeavor? What are you doing to help further God’s kingdom? Where are you joining Him in His work? Please don’t be a pew warmer. Get into the game! You won’t regret it. God has empowered every Christian with at least one spiritual gift. Pray to God that he will reveal to you what your gift is and also pray that God will show you where you can use your gift to most glorify and honor Him. Jump into the game if you haven’t done so already! Jesus said the harvest is ripe, but the laborers are few (Luke 10:2).
