I cannot stand it when everyone gets a trophy! We should not get rewarded for simply showing up, punching the clock, or "participating"! Where is the value in that? There is no incentive to excel if everyone will eventually receive a prize.
Even as CHRISTians, we must use our gifts given to us, not simply sit on them at the end of the bench. We simply do not receive salvation and not participate in the work of the Church! God rewards us according our works, effort, and service. While Jesus worked for us, we must now work for Him! After all, He did not simply show up on earth and save us!!!
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. (James 2:26)
Get off the bench and get to work!
