This was originally posted 9/25/2008, but I accidentally posted it as a page rather than a post. My bad. If you’re just now reading this, it’s kind of old news.
So we are back from the cruise and I tell you what… it was a blast, guys. It was an entire week long and we did everything from fancy dinners on the boat to traveling an hour to a jungle in Belize to zip-line from tree top to tree top.
While we were there we saw so many things that opened our eyes to how blessed we are in our every day lives. In Belize, there are only five stop lights in the entire country! There are some places in the country where people live without electricity in grass huts. Pastor Sam mentioned that when we become Christians, we are not joining A church, we are joining THE church. That means that we are joining hands with Christians all over the world and sharing in God’s glory with people from Africa to England to Belize!
The same joy that we experience every day because of the peace that Christ has given us, is the same joy that the people in Belize experience every day. It doesn’t matter to them whether they have a Mercedes or MTV, they have Christ in their hearts and that peace and joy surpasses any material thing they could ever own.
Remeber as you guys get ready for your next week what we talked about tonight!
KNOW THE GOSPEL / BELIEVE THE GOSPEL / SHARE THE GOSPEL
If we are unashamed of Christ, He will be unashamed of us and our every actions will glorify His name! God bless you all and I’ll see you on Sunday!
p.s. – The scripture we went over tonight was the first chapter of Colossians.
