Chapel today I think may have been one of the better ones of the year. In case you weren't there or do not attend MACU here is a little bit of a synopsis. Pretty much we all sang worship then the speaker came up and it felt like he took a hammer and from the stage he continued to throw them at me. And he didn't miss. For 20 minutes or however long Chris spoke he just continued to pound this idea into my head. The idea was simply this, just because we go to a Bible College or just because we go to church the majority of us (including me) thinks that just going through the motions is good enough. It's not. I have always said, "If being good id good enough then you'll never be great" but have never really applied that to myself. I am not sure where I heard this but I am pretty sure I heard it recently but the speaker said this, "The ship of Christianity is sinking and we are on the deck playing shuffleboard." That image really stuck with me. Last February I hear Don Wilson say, "we are no longer the home team." What he meant was Christianity is no longer the norm. In some cases it is not even what is accepted. Yet we aren't doing anything about it. We are playing shuffleboard while Christianity goes under. Being a Christian is more than going to church, class, and reading your Bible. Friends if we're not doing anything with our knowledge, or learnings then we are doing nothing for the sinking ship except playing shuffleboard.
