Drive-Thru Church


HT: Brian Eberly


This video brought back to mind the one I posted a few months ago, "Me Worship". It is a shame that many people are so consumer driven that they will not give God a chance. They are focused on everything THEY want. Their attitude demonstrates whether they are "hungry for God" or not. I do believe that we need to offer everything the best that we possibly can and make our churches "user-friendly," but we dare not do that to the exclusion of His presence. When God is in our services, needs will be met. It will happen whether we have the very latest technology, the most beautiful building, or whatever else (NO Veggietales!) the consumer-driven guests think they want. I have discovered in this past year that if we can offer the love of Jesus to the seeking soul, they will respond and overlook all that is not offered.

Those who have served the Lord for years have to be careful as "consumers." We can become picky (critical!) about God's House if we are not truly seeking His Kingdom. It becomes our kingdom and we want it our way! We are supposed to be serving Him, serving our brother and serving our neighbor. This tends to change our outlook.

The best way is His. Seek and you will find.

As funny as the video was it was actually so real to life in the request made by the "customers"!!

There are always people that expect so many different things from a church, a pastor, a pastor's family! You just learn you can't please all the people all the time for sure!!

You've got it right...offer the love of Jesus to the seeking soul....
