And just like a bird needs to have both wings working together and be equally well for it to fly strongly, so a church needs to have both wings – the internal and external ministries – be working and be equally well for a church to soar strongly and far.
Recently in the news in Stafford County there was a male eagle that was accidentally hit by a car, and broke one of his wings, and he couldn’t fly. The Wildlife Center of VA tried mightily to heal its wing, but it couldn’t and finally they had to euthanize it after veterinarians said it probably would never fly again (news.wjla.com/news/stories/0407/413952.html).
