Francis Chan has said that the Western church today must change from the mindset of “come and listen” to one of “go and tell”. One of the turning point sermons of my life was delivered by Greg McClain. He was comparing the way we look at church as either a cruise ship or a battle carrier. Those who see it as a cruise ship expect to find comfort and entertainment; they might participate in a few programs, but for the most part they are there to be served. On the other hand, people who view church as a battle carrier realize they have a job to do as part of a larger mission. Battleship Christians are always working toward a common goal and are there to serve others.
