Are you a willing worker?

Good morning everyone!! Another great day to be alive in the LORD JESUS CHRIST!! God is good all the time, all the time God is good!!

Are you an elder in your church? Are you just a member attending on Sunday? Well, Peter is talking to the elders here in 1 Peter 5:1 "And now, a word to you who are elders in the churches. I, too, am an elder and a witness to the sufferings of Christ. And I, too, will share in his glory when he is revealed to the whole world. As a fellow elder, I appeal to you."

Elders were church officers providing supervision, protection, discipline, instruction, and direction for the other believers. Elder simply means "older." Elders carried great responsibility, and they were expected to be good examples. Do you carry yourself as an elder?

1 Peter 5:2 "Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly-not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God."

Do you help care for the flock? Do you work at church willingly or grudgingly? Or, do you work at church at all? Are you working for what you will receive? OR, are you working, eagerly, excitedly to serve God?

When the final bell tolls will you be saying, "Oh God!!" OR "Oh, God!" One knowing you are on the down elevator, the other knowing you will praise God for eternity. Thanks for reading today. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
