When we think beyond the four walls of the church and view the world as in need of our spiritual gifts, then our horizons broaden greatly and there is more than enough work for everyone. Do we have the gift of teaching? Teach that unsaved neighbor next door. The gift of helps? Help the unsaved person. The gift of giving? Help the poor or homeless. When we limited the “work of the ministry” (Ephesians 4:12) to just ourselves and no one else, we thwart the exercise of the gifts the Lord has given. But, when we kick open the church door and see the world, the opportunities are immense. Just get busy serving the Lord. There’s plenty to do.
