The EmancipatorPARTICIPATE IN THE NOW-CHURCH
For his "body" has been formed in his image and is closely joined together and constantly connected as one. And every member has been given divine gifts to contribute to the growth of all; and as these gifts operate effectively throughout the whole body, we are built up and made perfect in love
— Ephesians 4:16
As a family, when we are young, our parents do everything for us. But as we grow, we take responsibility and contribute our part of what is required to run the family for the advantage of all. In whichever now-church (physical or virtual) you are, make your mind up to fully participate. You do not need to be a leader to contribute to the corporate edification of your now-church. Just look out for a "need" and reach out to meet it. The more you participate, the more you feel part and enjoy the church. The more idle and isolated you are, the less you feel part and the more disgruntled you will be. Always remember that every member has been given divine gifts to contribute to the growth of all and you are one of them.
I choose to be an active participant in my now-church from today in Jesus' Name.
