| Icebergs or Fire? |
|
V: Good morning, Don.
D: Good morning, Vicki.
V: Do you want to be an iceberg or fire?
D: A what?
V: Well, this morning's Power for Today author says that too many people who come to church are "icebergs" (you know, those big mountains of ice in the ocean).
D: I see. People at church can be cold and "aloof" (or distant) sometimes.
V: The author also says that at church, many people are just heads, legs, arms or even a "torso" (that would be the upper part of the body without its arms).
D: I think she is saying that there are just pieces of a body and no one is connected to anyone else. We have not united to form a complete body.
V: The only way to make icebergs unite is to "thaw" (or melt) them with heat.
D: I think I understand now.
V: So what do you think could thaw a human iceberg?
D: The answer would be the fire of the Spirit of God that "indwells us" (or lives in us).
V: Right. When we really love each other, and offer praise and "petition" in our worship, the Spirit will begin to bring these cold "bergs" together.
D: "Petition" means to make a request. It can also used as a noun to mean the request itself.
V: You are smart today! So, the author is saying that we can even "petition" God to melt us.
D: That would be a great thing to do. And wouldn't church be a better place if there were less icebergs in it?
V: So, the next time we visit the worship assembly, we should ask ourselves, "Am I an iceberg?"
D: Great question. Well, let's begin a great day.
V: Have a good one!
D: You too! |
