From Jeff Lucas, Gideon: Power From Weakness (again):
The heartbreaking thing is this: most Christians are so busy attending prayer meetings and being generally involved in the life of the church that they have no time to live out their faith in the marketplace. They are piously preoccupied, serving God in the winepress. if it weren’t so tragic, it would be amusing. It’s like a fisherman spreading his expensive net on the side of the riverbank, and then inviting the fish to jump out of the water and get caught.
(The ‘winepress’ reference is to the Gideon story – it’s where we first find him hiding, according to the book of Judges.)
I love this for the final sentence – and I may use that in tomorrow’s sermon.
