Around November last year, I took a Sunday off in order to go to New Jersey and hear one of my favorite groups, The 5 Browns, perform. The 5 Browns is a family of yes, five siblings, who all attended Julliard around the same time and tour the world play 5 grand pianos. Sometimes they play simultaneously. Sometimes three people gather around one piano to play the same instrument together. But whatever they do, it is imperative that they are in sync - for one note out of place would be so very noticeable in the sea of harmony.
I think the same is true of our spiritual lives. When we join the local church, we vow to support it with our prayers, presence, gifts, service and witness. It's not about picking and choosing which of these we will do, its about doing them together, in harmony, in order to seek and serve the Kingdom of God.
Which part of the vow do you struggle with the most? And how can you bring it in harmony with your life in order to shine forth the Kingdom?
