Nobody knows this, but I’ll confess. I’ve been doing church drive-bys.
Yup. Since we moved to the Schertz area, I’ve been pulling up to a different church every Sunday morning and drive-by praying for that church. I don’t sit there forever. But I do pray for the pastor, the volunteers and most importantly, those who are spiritually lost that walk in that particular church on that day.
This simple act has helped me guard my heart from a spirit of competitiveness and has revolutionized the way I see other churches.
Biblically we are supposed to have Kingdom minded attitudes. However, our flesh often pulls us towards making our own little kingdoms. Doing this will help you keep the competition mindset out of your ministry and pour into others.
If you are moving somewhere to plant a church, make a list of churches in your community and surrounding area and then pray for them. Send them a thank you card or take them to lunch. In the best way that you can, HONOR them.
When we honor God’s Kingdom and Christ’s Bride, God honors us. Get out there and do some church drive-bys.
