As a pastor I often get complaints about almost everything. The "code" word for a complaint is this word, "concern". You have heard this before. It goes like this, "I have a "concern" for …". Then they go on to tell me about something or someone they don't like, or something that happened that wasn't to their approval.
What if our major concern as believers was to literally "concern ourselves" with how to encourage others to be more loving and to engage in more good works! Wouldn't that be a culture changing dynamic? What a challenge it would be for us to all think about ways to motivate those we know in this way.
This is a reality that should be being experienced in our christian community. Are we helping or hurting that? What is concerning us?
