A man drove by our house an offered to fertilize the lawn for $6. When I went to pay him, he clarified the cost was $6 per bag and it would take many bags to cover the lawn. A bag of fertilizer does little. In the same way, a church that does not spread out does little. Trouble caused the church to expand. If we huddle and isolate ourselves, we are like a $6 bag of fertilizer. We might have a spot of green grass, but the rest of the yard will be dead.
