Why am I telling you all of this? Bicycle riding explains a lot of things. Churches are a bit like bicycles, in that if they are not moving forward it makes things more difficult. Churches that do not move forward in my experience tend to have more scrapes and spend more time falling over. The Body of Christ at 14th and Main is obviously peddling and moving forward together in harmony with the Lord’s teachings. I have found there are basically three kinds of people in the world. One, there are those who make things happen. Two, there are those who watch things happen. Three, there are those who wonder “what happened?” The same thing could be said of churches. It is great to be part of a congregation that has and made such a positive impact in so many lives by spreading the message of Jesus. Let us stay committed to God’s work coupled with the desire to be faithful to the Lord’s mission.
