In the kingdom of God, good works are hidden.
In our desire to see our churches grow, it is tempting to do to some marketing.
We advertise our programmes, produce great PR resources, use all kinds of communications and have a library of events where there is something for everyone.
These are not wrong, but we must not lose sight of a foundational kingdom value that our good works should be done in secret.
This is a tough call, but Jesus said:
“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven”.
This included serving others, praying and fasting.
Let us find secret ways ways to minister to the community at this time, working with other churches, plus local or state government.
