I have to believe that there aren’t many churches in America where you will have this conversation:
Guest: (running down the isle before a service) Hi! I meet you at a wedding you did for a family member of mine. Do you remember?
Me: Of course, how could I forget! It was like being at a rowdy rock concert. (It really was…the guests heckled the groom throughout the ceremony. It was awkward and endearing all at the same time…is that possible???)
Guest: Well, after the wedding, I agreed to attend Church by the Glades with the newlyweds. I love it here. I am learning and growing, but I have one question, how can I experience everything? How can I be saved?
Me: Well, let me tell you…(From there, I shared the Gospel with her. She accepted Christ. GO GOD!)
I can’t tell you how regularly this story is played out here at CBG. Ask anyone of the pastors and they will give at least one of them. Pastor David likens it to shooting fish in a barrel.
God is moving is such a unique way here @ CBG that people are literally running down the isle to talk with someone about getting their life right with God.
For this specific guest, I gave her a New Believers Bible, a complete Bible (Old and New Testament) and spoke briefly with her about taking some “next steps” in her walk with Christ. I pray that she will take the advice seriously and take advantage of all that CBG has to offer her. If her excitement was any indication, I think she will.
