“I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in Me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.” John 15:5 (ESV)
If we have an electrical device, that is well-crafted, sleek, built to accomplish a task, yet the device remains unplugged from the power socket you may be able to do a lot with it, but it won’t function as designed.
That describes much of the Church today. Busyness is not synonymous with effectiveness. The Church’s effectiveness will only come as we abide in the vine.
