Stop looking around for Picachu and Bulbasaur.

1Cor12:15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the
body,” is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear should say,
“Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the
body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the
whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? 18 But now God has set the
members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. 19 And if they
were all one member, where would the body be? 20 But now indeed there are
many members, yet one body.

I have heard it said that 5% of the body does 95% of the work. There are
many parts of the body and yet some of the body goes and sits on Sunday at
church and sits on the sidelines the rest of the week. There is a great
need in our homes, community, nation and world to be active for Jesus
Christ. Have you ever gone on a walk about, praying as you walk down the
streets of your own neighborhood instead of looking for Pokemon. We are
called to be the hands and feet of Jesus to our lost and dying world. We
are to be one body in Christ, not one body of the world. There are many
gifts that each of us have been given, gifts of helps, encouragement,
teaching, etc. For the church body to grow, we must not be lethargic, we
must go out and spread the Gospel, and stop looking around for Picachu and
Bulbasaur.
