Narrow vs broad

Be narrow, not broad.

For example: a narrow-minded business is the Chinese restaurant that specializes in sushi. They have a 1-page menu, where the artistic culinary craft of sushi is displayed to be made fresh to order for their customers.

They don't need a 6-page menu.
They don't need to be a full-service diner.
They don't need to have gum-ball machines & prize machines in their lobby.
They don't even need to speak English well.

All they need to do is make the best sushi in town.

If they needed to have anything and everything at their restaurant, that would turn them into a broad-minded business, with no real focus.

Being narrow allows them to be GREAT, not mediocre, at what they do. It allows them to care a whole-lot about why and how they make sushi for the customers they love to serve. It also allows them to say NO to a lot of other charming offers.

In like manner, our church is narrow-minded. We've decided to specialize in 1 thing: THE BIBLE!

We love teaching people to THE BIBLE.
We love teaching people to believe THE BIBLE.
We love teaching people to obey THE BIBLE, they say they believe.

Our church family doesn't need a 6-page menu of "bells & whistle programs" to attract people or pander to their "felt-needs", in order to keep them.

We don't need "gum-ball and prize machines" in our church lobby. As a matter of fact, that type of "church-candy" would ruin what we specialize in.

If you're looking for a narrow-minded church, that focuses on THE BIBLE, and isn't broad-mindedly distracted chasing every carrot on a stick, consider visiting with us this Sunday.

Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
