There once was an atheist that lived next to a church. One night the church caught on fire and the parishioners rushed to the church to try to save their beloved place of worship. Part way through the fight one of the church members noticed that the atheistic neighbor was helping to haul water. The church member smugly told the atheist, "Wow, I've never seen you this close to the church before." The atheist quickly replied, "Well I've never seen the church on fire before."

John Piper - Are You a Church or a Club?


Here John Piper reminds us that the church is about caring for the needs of the people around us.  The church is not about a program but about caring for people.  If programs help us care for people they are great.  If programs bog us down they are evil.  Questions:  How can I serve the people around me today?  How am I going to build the church today?
