I was sitting in my car the other day when an old clunker stalled nearby.
The driver was unable to start the old car, and traffic started backing up behind him. Horns sounded and angry drivers shouted their unpleasant words at the embarrassed man. After a while, cars began to pull around the old car. Finally, one person drove up behind the stalled vehicle and gave it a push. Soon it began moving under its own power and traffic got underway again.
How lifelike that is! Someone halted by circumstances. Most people shout their disgust at the unfortunate person and leave him to his fate. All he really needs is a little push to get started again.
Just as in any church, we have a few "stalled vehicles" who need a little push to get on the move again. If you know of someone who is losing interest in the church, or someone who is mired up to his axles in personal problems, offer him a little encouragement.
