Pleasure Cruise or Rescue Vessel

"If the Great Commission is true, our plans are not too big; they are too small." -- Pat Morley

A missionary acquaintance of mine over at Gospel for Asia shared this short video link with me. It was so well done, so gripping in its message of personal responsibility in the great commission, that I thought I'd share it with you all. It is called:Christianity, Pleasure Cruise or Rescue Vessel.

This dramatized film clip tells a story of a sinking ship and the response of the rescue ship near by. Warm and dry inside the rescue ship, the crew had slipped into a comfortable apathy. Why risk their own lives to help the sinking ship? Each person on board has to make a choice if he or she will help in the rescue effort, or stay inside. Every person helping in the rescue effort makes a difference. Every person.

For a short clip, this film was very well done and cuts right to the chase, bringing practical application to a powerful message. May it challenge you to live as a "rescuer."
