Today I firmly believe one of the hardest obstacles to overcome is being separated from your home church because of another family members mishaps. To live with almost every string cutoff is one of the toughest challenges any Christian could ever face. For over four years I was blessed to find great friendships, teachings, and memories, but now other family members tell me the church is marching down the road of darkness. How could this be with several great sermons and spirit-filled worship services?
So now I choose to jump tracks and land in the middle of the most successful church in the SBC: Bellevue Baptist Church. For me, there is an unexplainable attraction to a church that is so gigantic. So many activites, people, and plans are all focused around Jesus Christ. Can this really be true? Even though I barely know a single soul within the hallways, I am still amazed to see everyone gathered for one reason.
During the next few months I'm searching. Amongst my internship and video job, I am searching for the true meaning of church. What brings people to church? If Bellevue is so large, then why can't all christians join in on the same movement?
Also, I'll be searching for new friendships. Broken friendships won't be found, but new friendships are just around the corner.
