Musick-al note # 293
Sometimes people mutter in objection when asked to do something within the church, “A clique runs this church.” Sure! Every church is run by a clique. This clique is composed of those who are present at every service, respond to every invitation to share responsibility, attend every meeting, give sacrificially, never complain, make suggestions to the proper persons, and pray regularly for the church and its program. Those who are in the clique read their Bibles regularly, dig down for extra-large gifts when the need arises, offer their services even before they have to be asked, and in general, THEY DO THE WORK!
The clique which runs the church has often been described as “the faithful few”. They are the ones you can really depend on at all times. Attend the midweek service, and you will get some idea of who the faithful few are. Attend all the services of the church during any one week, and look around … you will see the faithful few. Attend all the services of a Gospel meeting and there they are.
Are you a part of the clique that runs the church? You should be! And you can be. Faithful service is the key. If you are zealous and devoted and dependable in your work, you are part of them.
