ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:9
We are God’s coworkers, and you are God’s field, God’s building.

Thought for the Day: Have you ever had a coworker who might have better been described as a couch potato observer? When I was in high school, one of the dreaded lines was, “Your grade is going to be a team grade. You will do the project together.” Occasionally, depending on who was assigned to your group, it might not have been a bad thing. But I had, and I’m guessing you might have had, some not so stellar experiences. Either one or two of us did all the work, or one guy on the team did not do his part and we were given a lower grade for not fully completing the project. It makes me wonder if God ever looks at the angels and says, “Maybe coworker was not the best title to give them.” On one level, I am immensely humbled that God invited me to be one of the coworkers in the mission of living and building the kingdom. On a whole different level, I wonder if God is whispering to some angel close by, “The Frogge guy needs to pick it up or he goes on the couch potato list.”

Prayer: I am both challenged and inspired by your invitation to be a coworker, O God whose Kingdom I want to see realized. May I never be that guy who isn’t pulling his weight in the work of love, mercy and justice. Amen.
