Emphasis Preaching Journal

As different parts of Christ's Body, we are to function and live a productive and fruitful life. A neutral Christian is a contradiction in terms. We speak of a "pillar of the church," but the term, while suggesting strength, may also convey the idea of immovable resistance to any new idea or to spiritual growth. Such a person may be described in these lines:
An old man sat by the open fire
And dreamed the years away,
While outside in the battle of life
Many perished in the toils of day.
He never did any good, nor did he
Ever do any wrong,
