This is just a short thought that I'd like to speak about for just a moment. When you become baptized or saved or a member of a new church you want to give God all of your time, correct? You have this fire within that just won't let out and all that fire wants to do is build up inside of you so the glory of God is magnified. This is a great thing I tell you!
Don't play with fire.
Yes, even the fire that is building inside of you to glorify the body of Christ. Sometimes we are so absolutely caught up in what we have to do for the Church that we completely forget that there is an outside world that needs our help. We go on missions, have church picnics, church basketball nights, band practice, orchestra practice, choir practice, sunday morning church, sunday night church, saturday night youth, friday night church, youth group trips, visiting the elderly, small groups etc. All this stuff is amazing and I'm not saying that any of it is bad in any way but getting caught up in all of it, it turns into a routine and not only that it keeps you from the outside world. Even Jesus sat with the tax collectors and the sinners because they are the ones that need a doctor! You need to take time to speak to non-Christians and to relate to them. Love them.
