My Gods Bigger Than Yours

Serving and giving God the Glory. 

Two girls from Bible College are so caught up in their new positions and all the work that it will be that they have pushed God to the side so as to totally forget why they are doing this in the first place. The two main characters, Tracy and Diane, are in their last year of Bible College. Tracy is going to be a youth pastor and Diane is going to be a music pastor. They are both extremely eager to begin their new careers and are discussing their future plans with each other.

Scene:

Tracy (sadly): Oh, Diane, I'm sure going to miss you. Can you believe how fast the years here at Bible College have gone by? I'm so glad we could share a dorm room for all those years.

Diane (cheerfully): Don't worry, Tracy! We'll keep in touch. I know we're going to churches on opposite ends of the country, but we'll write and call each other every week!

Tracy: I guess… but I hope we don't get too busy for each other. After all— (very proudly) I am going to be a Youth Pastor!

Diane (excitedly): I think that's great! I can't wait to start in my new church. I guess they haven't had a music pastor for years! I've got big plans for that church!

Tracy: Me too! I think the elders were so impressed with all the work I’ve been doing with various youth groups around here that they felt I was the best candidate.

Diane: I think that's how I got my position as well! You wouldn't believe all the work I've put into planning different music programs for churches all over the city—and on my own time, too!

Tracy: I know what you mean! I set up an after-school program for high school kids to keep them off the street. It took a lot of patience and planning, but it was a great success. I always had at least 25 kids out!

Diane (nods proudly): That's great! I've been spending every Monday afternoon with a group of seniors. You know how busy my Mondays are, but nevertheless, I go down to the drop-in center and play hymns on the piano and sing some church choruses for them. They say they always enjoy my company!

Tracy: Speaking of singing, I have worked with two youth girls, and they have decided to lead choruses at the youth Bible studies. They said they owe it all to me!

Diane (grinning): What would people do without good servants of God like us?

Tracy: Nothing would get that's what! Do you know that I lead three grade eight boys to the Lord last week?

Diane:  Grade eight boys? Wow, you really must have worked hard. That age is not easy to witness to! Oh, did I tell you about Mr. Peterson at the Elm Street Church?

Tracy: Is he the man who just had the heart surgery and everyone was calling to thank you because you had set up a prayer chain for him?|

Diane:  No, no, that's Mr. Patterson at the Maple Street Church, the one that I lead the music at the 10:00 service. Mr. Peterson is from the Elm Street Church where I lead the music during the 11:30 service. Anyway, he came up to me when I was shaking hands and said how much he appreciated the choruses I chose that day. He said they really touched him.
