We Are All Ministers Whether We Like It or Not.

I have only been an intern at Pierced Chapel, an emeregent church for twenty-somethings, for 3 weeks but it already feels like a lifetime. I thought that once I started working at Pierced that I would be able to officially say that I am working in the minsitry. I can, but what I also realized was that I was already ministering just as much before working here as I am now. We are all called as Christians to be different, not to be condeming or self-righteous, but to live with love that only comes from the Father. I too often fall short in the area of loving others. This weekend at Pierced i was challenged to always elevate my relationships with others above ritual. I need the reminder quite often that as I live, I am ministering. I need to take heart to how I live and relate with others becasue who knows if I will be here tomorrow.
