    not sure if you implied it but “how in shape” the capital “C” Church is, is how the water will also be. Water is only as healthy as the container that holds it or distributes it.

    What a lame analogy. It is NEVER about a “C” Church in scripture. But always about the “c” church. It is never the intent to lead them to a Church. But to lead them to the church.
