The high cost of convenient excuses
Sep 7, 2025 • Tony Streigle
We often come up with excuses when it comes to following God or serving in our local body—too busy, not gifted enough, someone else can do it better, or “maybe later.” But God doesn’t force Himself on us; He never drags us into obedience. Instead, He lovingly invites us to be part of His work and to be an extension of Him in this world. When we put off His call, we miss out on the blessing of being His hands and feet to others. God desires our willing hearts, not perfect ability—He equips those who say yes. The question isn’t whether He can use us, but whether we are willing to step beyond our excuses and let Him work through us.
