Roller Coaster Challenge Day 14

Roller Coaster Challenge Day 14—A Roller Coaster that you’ve never been on but want to ride: The Voyage at Holiday World

The Voyage is a large and steep wooden roller coaster. It hastily careens around tight corners at breakneck speeds through the dense forests of Southern Indiana. It has eight tunnels and many unexpected turns. I have yet to meet anyone who has ridden this who prefers any other wooden roller coaster.

The Voyage was opened to the public in 2006 and is themed as the Voyage of the Mayflower to the New World. The Pilgrims experienced the Atlantic waves, seasickness, and darkness, but not the 2 minutes and 45 seconds of weightless that one encounters on this 1.2 mile ride.

I almost got to Holiday World this August (they have FREE soft drinks! A dream come true!), but they were closed when I was passing through. One day I will get you Voyage!

Psalm 84:5 “How blessed is the man whose strength is in You, in whose heart are the Highways to Zion!”

Every vacation I can, I make a pilgrimage to an Amusement Park. But those trips are meaningless if I am not on the Highway to Heaven. Just as the Pilgrims longed for a place of freedom, the human spirit longs for freedom. We are created with the inward knowledge that we are not right with God, the Holy One, the Creator of the Universe. Everywhere worldwide people have a sense of right and wrong and realize that they have a bent to choose the wrong.

Getting on the right path is as easy as ABC.

A – Admit that you are not perfect. If you want to be with the God of Heaven, you cannot go there as an imperfect person. His presence is perfect and no sin lives in His presence.

B – Believe that Jesus died on the cross to cleanse you (and all mankind) from their sins. We could not possibly cleanse ourselves, but God loved us so much that He made the Way for us to be with Him (John 3:16).  We must be purified by the Blood of Jesus Christ.

C – Confess. After you believe in Christ tell others. If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9).

This voyage won’t make you seasick, and it will change your life.
