God Values Your Everyday Life Beyond Church Activities
Your spiritual life is often measured by what you do in church: pleasing the pastor and members, seeking recognition, joining the choir, serving as an usher, paying tithes or praying. But when the disciples showed Jesus the temple, he reminded them that it would be destroyed (Matthew 24:2). The building and its activities matter less than how you live your life. Your everyday life includes what you do outside church, from Monday to Saturday: earning a living, building a family and contributing positively to society. In 3 John 1:2, the writer wishes for believers to prosper and be in health. In 3 John 1:4, he says he has no greater joy than hearing that his children walk in truth. I believe people who deal honestly with others can prosper, whether or not they attend church. Prosperity is open to people of every faith and to those with no faith, just as rain falls on everyone’s farm. There is also no evidence that the most prosperity-focused churches or the most prayerful Christians are necessarily the most prosperous.
