The church is in the midst of a water crisis. The church is in a period of extended drought. … Part of the church’s deficiency of supply is bad plumbing. In the modern world denominational pipes channeled the living water to the thirsty. But the delivery system created by denominational machinery has come undone. Either the pipes have gotten rusty, corroded, and clogged, or else the piping is so leaden and inflexible it is unsuited to this new world. Worst of all is when the bit of “living water” that trickles from the pipes is not the fresh rain of the Spirit but the rainfall collected by our ancestors and stored in cisterns. Water that sits for any length of time becomes stale, stagnant, and sometimes even toxic.

People around us are dying of spiritual thirst. What can we do to get them to take a drink of fresh “living water”?
