I have been thinking about serving lately and I have been thinking that it is more than what we do. For example, why do we call our time of worship a worship service? Are we serving God in the traditional way?
It has been said that we are saved to serve. Is this true? Though I hate yes and no answers this is a yes and no answer. No we are not saved to serve if our service is only external actions. God has said in His Word that we can serve Him and not know Him. But the answer is yes if we realize that our worship is truly a service to God. It begins in the heart and not in our actions.

Maybe our Sunday gatherings aren't so much about us serving God, but God serving us - he brings us into community so we are not alone, he speaks to us through the Word to conform us into Christ, he sends us out into the world to be his servants. Just a thought.
