Team Work

Things have happened in the past few days that have caused me to think a lot about the concept of Team Work.

We have all heard the phrase "There is no I in team." The term is literally correct. The word "team" doesn't have an "I" among it's letters. However the word is made up of individual letters to make up the word "team." Each letter on it's own can be used in so many different ways. They can be used with different letters to form new words. There is even one that can be called a loner. The "a" can go off on its own and become a word all by itself. What I find as useful is that each letter knows it's place within the word. There is no letter that is more important than the others because without just one of the letters the word would mean something entirely different. Just for giggles lets say that the "m" felt that it didn't like always being the last letter and it decided to leave and start it's own word. It wanted to be first for a change, so it started the word "Meat." Well that is a very cool word and quite useful at times but it definitely does not mean the same as "team".

So you are probably asking yourselves what in the world is this guy up to now. Well here is my two cents for the day. If we are to work as a team in building the Kingdom of God then we need to put away our selfish ways and our individual likes and dislikes to become a team for God. We can not all do the same things but we sure as anything can do our part. So if you are a "T' or an "E" or an "A" or even a "M" lets unite and build His Kingdom. The enemy is out there and is wringing his hands with gleeful expectations, lets show him who really is in control. We can not keep doing the same old things the same old way. Satan is adapting to this current culture and we need to unite and put away our differences so we can reach people with the Word of God in a way that is culturally relevant. The same message that has always been taught just with a different approach. ===Skid===
