“Every local church congregation has a choice to be 1 of 2 things. You can choose to be a bag of marbles. A bag of marbles, single units that don’t really affect each other except in collision. On Sunday morning you can choose to go to church or watch it on TV or sleep in. I mean, who really cares whether there are 192 or 193 marbles in the bag. You attitude can be 'I’m just one of the marbles that rolls in and rolls out.' Or, a congregation can choose to be a bag of grapes. The juices begin to mingle, there is no way to extricate yourself if you tried, each is a part of all, each is a part of the fragrance, part of the stuff of spiritual life and growing.”
