So, as part of my daily bible reading today, the NT part took me to Acts 6.
Here the Apostles faced a dilemna- continue doing charitable work or focus most of their time preaching the Word of God as per their call as Apostles?
Well, they found the solution in getting the roles of serving the poor through food to the other bretheren.
You see, God has given us each a role we should play in the Church, if your Church has some volunteer schemes, go for them!
I am blessed to be part of a Church which offers plenty of opportunities and after recovering for the summer, I intend to fulfill one of them, God willing! Plenty of choices- forestry, helping the homeless, helping refugees, volunteering at a foodbank, etc.
Remember, our charity should ultimately show the love of Christ!
But on a final note- never be part of one of those Churches which just go on and on about serving, to the point where they forget about the Gospel, or even worse preach a heretical social gospel.
