Bill Hybels' "Airplane" Illustration
This is a great illustration of many folks who "know" Christ but see no evidence of His work in their lives. I know some of my brothers aren't too impressed with Pastor Bill. See what you think. Agree? disagree?
“Knowledge won’t get you anywhere. You have to act on what you know...[Imagine] studying the science of aviation and then hanging around in airports. You can learn all about the physics of flight, know which airlines have the safest record, pick the best craft to fly in, reserve your flight, drive to the airport, go to the gate, double check the cockpit crew’s credentials. But it does you no good unless you get on the plane.” (from Becoming a Contagious Christian)
