Moving out and moving in is so much easier with someone like him and his versatile tool kit around. He is always so hands-on when it comes to getting the job done.
God has a toolbox, and His tools are just as varied as the tools in Renji’s box.
We see the church merely as an organisation we belong to or an event we attend. But, the church truly represents God’s box of useful tools to be used for His purpose and glory.
