Being a Christian is more than just being a pew warmer. The Church is compared to a body in I Corinthians 12:14-25. Pick something to not be able to use for a day. Want your hand to go on vacation? What about a foot? Maybe something a little more insignificant like a finger. Try tying your shoes without one of them. When part of a person's body doesn't work correctly or at all, that person quickly notices that something is wrong. The same is true of the Church. Unless each of us is doing the work we are supposed to, the Church will suffer.
