Building Bridges

When we first moved to Morgantown we used the motto, "A Bridge To A Better Life."For some reason I was thinking about that the other day. In essence, what we were saying to a lost and dying world was, "Your life is not any good, try ours!"

For those of us who are Christians, we know that our life AC (after Christ) is a ton better than BC (before Christ), but trying to convey this to people without a relationship with Christ is like trying to sell Ocean Front Property in Arizona. For the most part, they just don't get it!

I told someone the other day that I sometimes feel like a "Used Church Salesman". "Try our church, we meet in a Theatre." "Try our church, we have Small Groups." "Try our church it is really friendly." "Try our church we are an authentic group of believers striving to carry out God's love to the people of Morgantown and the World." All of these things are TRUE, but what we need is a good dose of the Great Commandment and the Great Commission.

Rick Warren said, "A church that is committed to the Great Commandment and the Great Commission will grow a Great church." I like that! We are striving to Build Bridges in our community. Lately, God has burdened me to reach a certain group of people on campus. I'm telling you that if God will reach a few of these students, it is possible for our church to turn the campus of West Virginia University upside down!
