Why Perform Christian Service?
Numerous people benefit
from service. Works of charity
“cheer people up” and “brighten
their day”. At the St. Barnabas Beau-
tiful Buys shop, the team was
blessed to work with older Chris-
tians. Our presence in serving older
members of the community bright-
ened the days of many people. We
noticed that these older folks were
pleased to know that the Catholic
faith is practiced fervently into the
modern age. At the Little Sisters of
the Poor, the team was able to
speak with numerous residents. In
doing so, we were able to spread joy
to their hearts, as “one smile can
change a life.” In addition, the ser-
vice work we performed allowed us
to take on responsibility and serve
others through independent, mature
actions. Jesus acted as an example
to “love your neighbor above your-
self” (LV 19:18 NIV). By taking on
responsibility through service, we
“My experience with the Salvationators has
really opened up new opportunities for me to
serve my community.” - Luke Crum
“Service with the Salvationators has enlightened
my soul.” -Christopher McFadyen
were able to put this doctrine into
practice and serve others. Further-
more, through works of charity, we
boldly spread the message of Christ
through music. Performing a Christ-
mas concert for the Little Sisters of
the Poor, we shared the Nativity of
the Lord through song. In doing so,
we graciously shared the true mean-
ing of Christmas with members of the
Greater Pittsburgh Community.
How Do Charity and Service Relate to
the Bible?
Numerous connections can be
made between the promulgation of
charity and Biblical parables. In par-
ticular, MT 25:31-46 serves as a great
testament to the importance of chari-
ty. In MT 25:31-46, Jesus explains,
“[…] I was hungry and you gave me
something to eat, I was thirsty and
you gave me something to drink, I
was a stranger and you invited me
in, I needed clothes and you clothed
me, I was sick and you looked after
me, I was in prison and you came to
visit me” (MT 25:35-36 NIV). Serving
others is essentially serving God.
Thus, performing service is essential
to the Christian life because it is the
best way to serve God. All humans are
created in the image and likeness of
Jesus Christ. Serving other people
helps glorify God by serving Him
through His people on Earth.
