One thing that the church does a lot of (and it should be praised for) is it's service to others. People who bash the church love to point out the ornate temples and complain that tithing money goes more into the temples than service projects-while I don't know the numbers myself, the church should be given more credit. They help non members and members alike. In fact, the church does so much service that it's easy to miss out if you aren't paying attention. From helping members move to helping non members at Christmas time to cleaning up areas after natural disasters to donating to the Red Cross, the church busts it's ass in service work.
I think it's because of this passage. It clearly states that you are only in the service of God when you are in the service of your fellow man. It's cut and dry and clear as day.
