There are many things I don't know yet. I enjoy learning
about or sometimes experiencing new things in life. Do you know what a light boat is? For some a
light boat is designed to carry light
weights. For others it’s a boat with many lights for decoration, but I’m talking about one that gives direction.
Everyone has heard of a “light house,” but in my early years
I had never heard of a "Light Boat." A "Light House" is a
tall house on shore with a huge bright light at the top to guide ships away
from danger and to the harbor. Well, a
"Light Boat" takes that concept a step further by actually taking the light off shore into the
ocean or bay. The mission is to place itself out in the deep, far enough from
shore to extend its effectiveness significantly.
So, we talk about the church being a light house. Think about being a light boat, getting off
of the safe shore and going out that extra mile to take the light of the gospel
to where the lost ships are, to safely guide them home. Keep thinking and
praying about where God would be blessed by us personally stepping out into “deeper
waters” in 2013.
