Join in the Church

Church, Membership in

There once was a mule who found himself between two haystacks, completely unable to decide which one to eat first. Because of his indecision, he didn’t eat either one; he just stood there until he starved.

Many people are like the mule when deciding which church to attend. They wander back and forth, never committing themselves, and meanwhile going hungry. ── Michael P. Green《Illustrations for Biblical Preaching》

Someone asked Sir Winston Churchill, “Are you a pillar of the church?” He quipped, “I am more of a flying buttress: I support it from the outside.” ── Michael P. Green《Illustrations for Biblical Preaching》
