Catalyst Part 3

Here is another great tidbit from Catalyst. In the past 100 years or so, Christianity has thought of itself as a guard of something very valuable. We want to protect a lifeless artifact, and we hope that no one steals it. Guards are always on the lookout for suspicious movement and anything out of the ordinary. Many times you even have to pay to see what is being guarded. Instead, we should begin to think like gardeners. A gardener has a vision of what is to come. Gardeners anticipate growth, are persistent, but also must protect what they are growing. However, protection is not the main point-growth is. Let's start thinking like gardeners and less like the guard who guards the Mona Lisa.
