Yesterday, it happened! A frozen pipe busted in the ceiling of our office area at C3 church. Thank goodness Gary was there to turn the water off and get it cleaned up. Had he not been there, it could have been an insurance call for sure. We have now taken some measures to ensure it doesn't happen again. One of which is to trickle the water when it gets real cold. Moving water does not freeze and in so doing, can't expand and break the pipes. I think that is alot like us as Christians. As long as we are moving forward and pursuing God all is well. God is pouring in and we are pouring out. The problem comes when there is no movement and we become frozen. When this happens we usually have some pressure issues that we will take out on each other. In churches, I have seen that when the people lose sight of the big picture (Great Commission) and begin focusing inward, they turn on each other and an explosion ensues. Then there is a mess that will continue until the movement begins again. How about you? Do you have some pressure issues, and are they because there is no movement in your life?
