The ship

The church building floating in a huge ocean. There are a few people hanging off the edge kicking furiously trying to get this thing to move. Most though are just hanging out, happy enough to float without any real direction.

Something happens and the people arrange themselves into a big tube. This hangs off the back of the building, and air just rushes though it, propelling it powerfully through the waves.

Too many of us are happy just to sit around and hope the church goes somewhere. Robert Donnell prophesied this yesterday-

Woe to you who are at ease in Zion, And trust in Mount Samaria. Amos 6:1

It is not when we kick furiously at the water that we begin to move though- it is when we allow the Lord to work through us- as a body. Let every part doe it's job, in order that we may be a fully functioning body.

Unless the Lord builds the house, the workers labour in vain.
