1Tm3

How do you think about the "household of God"? Are you vitally involved in the family of faith? Would your local church see you as an attender, a member, a faithful contributor or a vital part of its functioning? 

Paul wrote this letter to instruct every believer on the importance of the local church. The church is God's plan for spreading the gospel in our communities. It is God's plan for spreading the gospel to the ends of the world. Each one of us should be using our God given gifts and resources to make our church everything God desires for her to be. It is the "family of God", "the pillar and foundation of truth". 

To often christians are under informed and under committed to their local church. In fact, God would desire for our church to be central in our practice of faith. Just as our family is essential to our daily lives, so our church should be "family" for daily living out our faith. The bible is not unclear on this principle.

Get vitally committed to your local church.
