Other Wise : Renewing Your Passion To Serve

Being aware of and meeting the needs of others. Sounds like a simple concept, doesn’t it? But why do we find it so difficult to follow through on one of the most fundamental elements of the Christian walk? There are people with needs all around us if we would just open our eyes and realize that they desperately need our help to make it through their struggles. But how do we know what they need? More than that, when we know their need why are we so reluctant to step forward with the gifts that God has given to us to help them? Have we become too apathetic? Is it because we don’t have the time? Are our schedules so inflexible that we cannot make time for a brother or sister who needs what we have?

In his light-hearted yet poignant approach to such an important topic, Doug Chamberlain helps us to cut through the distractions and noise of everyday life to give us practical insights into this vital function of the church. He encourages us to take a close look at ourselves to realize that meeting the needs of others should be commonplace in the life of a Christian, and that we need to use God given wisdom to faithfully and consistently minister to others in their time of need.
