100 Days to a Healthier ChurchSample

Day 6 Today’s Big Idea: Reconcile, if needed. In your pondering yesterday, did you discover any attitudes that need changing? Maybe some resistance to change? Maybe you’ve been jealous of a larger or faster-growing church? Don’t be too quick to dismiss this possibility. And if you did discover some wrong attitudes, don’t beat yourself up over it. We all have them to some degree or another. Key Verse: Leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift (Matthew 5:24). Thoughts to Consider: No one is perfect in their thought life. Before this process can move ahead, we need to adjust our attitude. Stop what we’re doing (leave our gift at the altar), change our attitude (be reconciled with God and others), then proceed with the process (come and offer our gift.) For the pastor: Today is the day to email the notes from last Saturday to everyone on the team, reminding them that we’re going to use them during our devotional times next week.
