What it's all about

This is why we do what we do:  adults, children's and teens coming to faith in Christ.  Life change.  Church work ain't easy.  Volunteers give blood, sweat and tears.  Staff are underpaid and overworked.  The faithful sacrifice financially to make ministry happen.  Musicians rehearse, Children's teachers prepare lessons, greeters greet, somebody shops for all the goodies that are out on Sundays, and somebody cleans up the facility.  That's the story in almost every church.  But the work of the Church is the most important thing happening on Earth.  This is why the local church is the hope of the world.  In Gladiator, Maximus says a great line, "What we do on earth echoes in eternity."  That's not exactly true.  The games we won, the money we made, the mansions we built, and the amount of twitter followers we accumulate won't matter at all in eternity.  Most of the things we worry and fret over won't matter in eternity.  But the work of Christ's church not only matters in eternity, it impacts eternity.  What an honor it has been for me to be a part of the life change that has happened through these beautful people at Church of the Way.
