We Are Called To Excellence!



1 Corinthians 14:12(NKJV)
12Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel.

There are many Scriptures that talk about us striving to do our best.  To use the skills God gave us to the best of our abilities.  We are told to run the race to win.  In the Parable of the Talents, the one who didn't use his talents lost all that he had and God was displeased with him.

So it is well established that we strive to excel in all that we do. 

But why?  To what purpose?  Why does it matter to God?  I believe the above Scripture answers that question. 

"...let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel. "

To put it another way which brings more glory to God?  A sloppy, disorganized, run down church or a church that strives for excellence in all they do?   We represent God here on earth.  Let's represent Him in the way He would like to be represented!
