Discipleship

As we live our busy lives, more and more of us are opting out of Sunday worship. Apathy, lack of interest, motivation, or schedule conflict makes it easier and normal for us to say, “I don’t go to church, but I have faith.” Or “I worship God in my own way!” And “I wish I could serve but I just don’t have the time”. How about worshipping in God’s way? As a priest once said, “Don’t say you don’t have enough time, rather say you don’t have enough love!” Even with enough love, some of us rush through the motions in order to fulfill our Sunday obligations while often counting the minutes to dismissal. We are not engaged! We don’t get it! We want to volunteer and do more but something else always takes priority. Interest is sparked when the Church invites us to ministry and service only to fizzle with the reality of our busy lives. Still there are those who serve the Church and are rewarded with the fulfillment of a life well lived.
