| My church is composed of people like me ,. . .I help make it what it is. It will be friendly,. . . if I am. Its pews will be filled ,. . . if I help fill them. It will do great work ,. . . if I work. It will make generous gifts to great causes ,. . . if I am a generous giver. It will bring other people into its worship and fellowship, . . . if I invite and bring them. It will be a church of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, and a church with a noble spirit, . . . if I, who make it what it is, am filled with these same things. Therefore, with the help of God, . . . I shall dedicate myself to the task of being all the things I want my church to be. |
