Yesterday for "Impact" about 45 of us went to The Union Rescue mission in Little Rock. It is a homeless shelter for men. We served dinner, played music, shot some pool, watched football, and played some basketball. It was one of my most proud moments as student pastor at Rock Creek.
When we first arrived, most of the students were very wide-eyed. As they began to understand why we were there and how they fit it...everything changed. All of the students seem to find a way to use their gift. Those who liked basketball found the guys who wanted to play and started a game. Some of them sat on the couch and watched football. Everyone used his or her gifts. The time flew by and I have to say that it was the most fun that I have had in a while.
What are your presuppositions about people? Have you already made up your mind about a certain group of people? When was the last time you served to make someone’s life better? I want to encourage you to go and serve...Romans 12 says that is your spiritual act of Worship!
