Yesterday, I came across an insightful article about having the 'Marina' Mentality for believers. Well I really think that it is quite an interesting illustration, so I'll share it with you guys:Most of us have the marina mentality.
What does this mean?
We on the marina have been saved and sometimes we are kicking ourselves and whacking each other due to difference in opinions that we lose track of those who are actually drowning.
Some of us Christians are drowning near the marina and are trying to stay afloat by holding on to things such as money, power, pleasures and positions. These are poor floating devices and we are actually drowning and the only way that we can stay afloat and be saved is to hold on to the life ring which is Jesus Christ and we on the marina must work together to throw out the life ring to others who are in the water and pull the ropes so that we can get people on to the marina.
As for us on the marina, we should not be treating it like a yacht club. We on the marina must be a rescue station and we must really work together as a team to pull the ropes of the life ring so that many more can be saved.
Once we the people start coming to church, we must be intentional in our language, songs and videos so that we allowed non christians to understand what is going on.
Lastly, you are never going to be saved, unless you humble yourself and know that you are drowning.
