Morning Inspiration with Pastor Merritt

God wants all of us to be all in to all of his church. A story tells us why. This story involves four people in the church. Their names were - Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. The church needed help meeting its financial obligations and Everybody was asked to participate. Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but do you know who did it? Nobody.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
When the church needed some people to help with the kids ministry, Somebody was asked to help, but Somebody resented being called upon, because Anybody could have done it just as well. After all, it was really Everybody's job. In the end, the work was given to Nobody and Nobody got it done.

The process went on and on. Whatever the task that needed to be done, Nobody could be counted on to do it. Nobody visited the sick. Nobody gave liberally. Nobody shared his faith. In short, Nobody was a very faithful member.

Finally, the day came when Somebody left the church and took Anybody and Everybody with him. Who was left? Nobody!

The truth is - Everybody needs Somebody and Nobody doesn't need Anybody. You claim to be a truly devoted follower of Jesus. If Jesus loved the church enough to give himself for it, you should love it enough to give your life to it. When it comes to His body, your body should be “all in.”
