How to move from successful to significant

By Ron

The secret to making a difference

Many people, if asked, would admit that they want to make a difference.

Regretfully, for most people in our society, that means they just want to be successful in work, make the big bucks, buy luxury cars, and go on expensive vacations.

I hate to break it to you – that’s not it.

God’s plan isn’t for you to be successful; it is for you to be significant. That means to be a difference maker. To not grumble about all that is wrong in the world, but to purposefully do something to make the world a little better.

And let me share the secret about how to do it. <shhhh!>

It’s called “serve.”

It’s that easy.

You’re probably thinking, “What’s so secret about that? I already knew about that.”

Serving must be a secret because so many people don’t do it.

Maybe you’re one of them. Maybe you’re here to get more information on Motel Church because God gave you a nudge and whispered, “Check it out.”

So you got the info, and it was kind of interesting, but you still haven’t served, and you keep finding new excuses to avoid signing up.

“We’re going on vacation.” “Family’s coming for a visit.” “There’s a big game on TV.” “It’s going to be too hot/too cold/too wet/too sunny…”

Here’s some good news, if you haven’t served with Motel Church before, it is easy. Getting started takes one easy step.

Just go to www.motelchurch.org/rsvp and sign up.

Invite your friends, your family, your small group, or your co-workers into going. You will have people to serve with, and you will also have the accountability of knowing others are expecting you to show up.

Just take that first step and sign up.

Then, when we get back to you with your reservation, mark it on your calendar and go.

The surprising thing is this – when you’re helping others, you’ll feel better about yourself. Making a difference in someone else’s life makes a difference within you.

Motel Church Prayer at Arena Inn

You see, every weekend Motel Church brings food and friendship to weekly motels where our neighbors are hanging on, struggling to survive. It’s a small thing. Volunteers just like you bring a potluck dish and a smile and God does the rest. We do all the work to make it easy for you – we organize and coordinate and have leaders and speakers there. All you do is bring some food and a smile.

That sounds pretty easy, doesn’t it?

So, how about it?

Are you ready to start making a difference?
