Rick Warren, in a recent Purpose Driven Connection devotional, wrote, "We are only fully alive when we're helping others...This truth is so important that it is repeated five times in the Gospels." How "alive" are you right now? Are you "in the game" or are you "on the sidelines?" My observation is that too many are still "on the sidelines." But even worse is that it appears these folks are comfortable being on the sidelines and watching others play the game. Warren says that's a dangerous place to be: "One day God will compare how much time and energy we spent on ourselves compared with what we invested in serving others."
