The Importance of Being Present in the Church

Whether your name gets mentioned or you get the pat on the back, what matters is that Christ sees it. I was reminded of my wife during a very busy season of ministry when we were living in L.A. And she felt so discouraged. She is like all the stuff that is important is happening out there and I am just here. That means in the church there are no unimportant people. Their worth is not dependent on how often they are mentioned.
