Today I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Alaska Airlines places a prayer card on each meal tray that they serve. As Christians we should all strive to reach those whom we do business with. We can't make them believe, but we can be sure they have heard the good news. for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!" However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?" So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

Nice work Alaska Airlines!

I was actually led to the Alaska Airlines article after reading that In-N-Out Burgers puts a scripture reference on the cups and wrappers for their burgers. This has apparently raised some concerns among the conspiracy minded that some religious sect is behind the hamburger chain. <Gasp!> Perhaps they are.

Perhaps we should encourage them to continue and to even be more vocal in the proclamation of God's truth to their customers. Perhaps each of us as Christians should look at our jobs as our mission field and do whatever we can to let the world know that Jesus loves them and has paid the penalty for their sin. Perhaps we're not doing anyone any favors by letting them believe if they live a good life they're going to Heaven. Perhaps if they are looking at us wondering "Well, if they really believed what they say the believe, why don't they act like it?"

I've never even heard of In-N-Out Burgers before today, because they're not around where I live. However, you can be sure I would give them my business if they were. And if I ever have the opportunity Alaskan Airlines will be the airlines I fly. Thank you to both of these companies for sharing Christ with a lost and dying world.
