Almost myrtle beach hotels 10 years ago, my wife Annette and I went on a cruise. The ship was awesome. We found ourselves in a beautiful, well appointed mega-yacht, folks waited on us hand and foot, a spa was available, as well as an unlimited supply of food and drink. On a cruise, you find yourself somewhere different every day and you visit interesting ports like Aruba, Barbados, Martinique, St. Maarten, Curacao, St. John, etc.
Last week I met with some church planters including a young church planter from a different myrtle beach hotels denomination who is planting a new church in Southeast Roanoke. myrtle beach hotels This young pastor made the comment that a church is made to be like a battleship, not a cruise ship! Hmmm? He went on to explain what people myrtle beach hotels expect on cruise ships: total pampering, room service, massages, 5 star meals, expensive day trips at the ports of call, entertainment, etc. Then he contrasted that mindset with what our military receives and expects.
He made the application that the church is effective when we are in battleship mode and have a military myrtle beach hotels mentality. To say it another way, church is effective when we view church and our faith as a mission and a service to God and others and not as nice life enhancement activity or a weekly get away.
I am thrilled myrtle beach hotels that so many of Church members in Roanoke exemplify that concept. You really understand that your life is not your own and you have been bought with a price. You embrace myrtle beach hotels your call to glorify and serve the Lord with a grateful heart. Jesus humbled Himself and lived totally for the glory of His Father. No ego, no self and no agenda but His Father myrtle beach hotels s drove Him.
Jesus said that when we lose our life for His sake, we will find it! If you are continually asking what the church can do to serve you or finding fault from the sidelines, you may want to call your travel agent and book a Christian cruise!
