Giving Back

Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men,

Ephesians 6:7 (NIV)

Yesterday in church the people who went to the National Youth Gathering reported on the event. Bill Meicke, one of the parents that went had this to say about what he learned from the trip, "If you have a strong faith what you need to do is give back."

Today's passage is about service. Specifically it is instructions for slaves to serve their earthly masters. Today I saw it is instructions for how we should serve others. We are supposed to put ourselves last. We are saved by grace, not works. Works are the fruit of our faith. So like Bill says, if we have faith then we need to be giving back - both in helping others, and in sharing our faith.
