Spiritually unconscious people will not do anything for
the church unless it is a grandiloquent presentation or event. I do understand that some of the tasks around
the church and the community are not glamorous to be sure: cleaning the church,
cooking food, repairing the building, working in the office, mimeographing or
folding bulletins, providing transportation for the elderly, feeding the
hungry, ministering to the destitute, visiting the sick, listening to someone
else’s issues, maintaining accurate records, attending long and sometimes
heated meetings, and soothing hurt egos are some of the least liked tasks
around the church. However, if the
church is going to be caring, there are some devils that have to be dethroned and
some demons that have to be destroyed.
If God’s house is to be kept beautiful, then someone has to be
conscientious of the social ills in God’s house and in the community; and be willing to do what has
to be done to maintain a PEACE THAT SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING. It is actually more of the little things that make God’s Kingdom so
attractive. That encouraging word you
gave to someone because you were conscious of the fact that they were walking with
their head down and possessed a look of despair on their face; lifted them up
and they made it through their day feeling better about the issue. That is being conscientious of your
surroundings.
