Remember Lassie? If you're forty or older, you've certainly seen at least a few reruns of the classic show about a dog who always saved the day. It didn't matter what the crisis was, Lassie found a way to help - every time. Sometimes it was her intelligence that made the difference. Other times is was her bark. But what set Lassie apart was not either of these things, or any other special abilities. What made Lassie a special was that she was faithful. Faithfulness is next to godliness. In fact, it is the faithfulness of God that makes trusting Him possible. So it is with the church. If we are the presence of Christ in the world, then we will be faithful too. It follows, then, that If we're faithful, people around us who need God will trust us. What does it mean to be faithful. Let's take the time this week to make sure that we have a clear understanding of this most important attribute of a healthy church.
