Decisions of a Church Member
Reading: Acts 3:1-10
“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship,
to the breaking of bread and prayer” (Acts 2:42)
1. I decide to attend Church regularly with my family like the hunch-backed woman and the poor widow (Lk 13:10,11; Mk 12:42). I will not go late. I will not come away before the Service is over. Neither I nor any member of my family will be a distraction to anyone during the Service.
2. I decide to follow the sermon closely and take notes. I will study it at home and share the good thoughts with others on suitable occasions. I will apply the sermon first to myself and not to others.
3. I decide to submit to the leadership of the Church. I will welcome corrections with a meek spirit. I will not backbite the elders, but respect them. I will seek their help for my problems.
4. I decide to be an example to other members of the Church. I will be careful about my every word. I will conduct myself with all purity. I will be a model in my spiritual convictions.
5. I decide to be an active member of my Church. I will take part in the activities of the church as much as possible. I will try my best to win alteast one soul a week and give liberally.
6. I decide to pray fervently for my Church. I will pray for the shepherds. I will pray for the members. I will pray for the evangelistic activities and growth. I will pray for a revival in the church.
7. I decide to be of spiritual help to the sisters of my Church. I will not hesitate or fear to point out their sins but prayerfully and lovingly talk to them about it in private.
8. I decide to give physical and material help to needy members of the Church. I will not hesitate to sacrifice to meet their needs.
9. I decide to be cordial with the members of other churches. I will smile at and greet them and not hesitate to fellowship with them. I will not try to make them members of my church.
10. I decide to get spiritual food from special meetings (though organised by other churches), literature, radio, CDs and television. I will search the Scripture for the truths learned from them. I will be careful about false doctrines.
