Small tender plants are often raised in a greenhouse,
and small trees are often matured first in a nursery. There, tender shoots are
strengthened and readied for the world.
The church functions in just such a
way.
Believers are matured and readied for service out in the world. Greenhouse
buds are not prepped merely for more long-term residence living in the
greenhouse; likewise, our goal in church attendance is not merely to attend
more church, but to become well-nourished and prepared as one of God’s roses to
make the world more beautiful and sweet.
Whether standing tall or crushed
underfoot we are to sweeten the world.
