There is a long list of things you should do as a follower of Jesus. There is another list of things you should not be doing.

1. Attend every meeting at the Church. Choose one small group and connect with those people.

2. Try to know everyone in your Church. Focus on knowing 6-12 people and have a few quality relationships.

3. Serve in every area of ministry. Everyone should find one or two ministries and do them well. 

4. Fill every night with something religious. If you do something with Church people every night, there is no time left to connect to your spouse, children, or neighbors.

5. Live in constant fear. Do not worry all the time about whether you are doing enough for Jesus. Yes, all of us can do more, but don’t let your sense of obligation overcome your joy.

Choosing to be a Christian does increase your level of responsibility and connection to other believers, but that does not mean you need to live with a sense of being overwhelmed all the time. 

There are two extremes. One is not doing much with your faith. The other is doing too much. I see too many Christians who do not find a happy middle ground. 

Living for Jesus is filled with complex decisions, and your faith in him will be seen in all you do and what you do not do.
