Former President John F. Kennedy coined this famous phrase of course about our country but I certainly feel that it applies to the church.  Because the church is a place of compassion and empathy for the needs of others, often times people abuse themselves and the church by developing a sense of entitlement!  Jesus only gave a “well done” to the stewards who made it happen.  Jesus rebukes the victim mentality of the unprofitable servant.  Pastors and Churches are doing people an injustice by promoting a keep your hand out attitude.  Don’t take me wrong, people with true disabilities and our elderly are worthy of assistance and support and they are entitled but if we really want to help people, teach them to work and give and not take. If this offends you then maybe you have bought into a victims attitude and you will never reach your potential.  You have the choice to either be a victim or a victor. Stop making excuses and stop burying what God has entrusted to you!  Work and Give! Come on somebody, can I get a witness?
