You can take a horse to the water but you Cannot make him Drink. Or, I can explain it to you, but I Cannot understand it for you.
I absolutley love when preacher's say at the end of a sermon, "the message is now yours." The call to me is one of accountabilty.
It ultimately relieves the messenger of His duties, signifying the completion of his responsibilty to his beneficiaries.
A call of accountabilty: You arrived, you dressed up, you smiled, and of most importance, you have heard this sermon..."Now Its Your Turn, you have the next move; what are you going to Do with the message that you have heard.
After a lecture (and I am long-winded), I tell and Feel the same way towards my babes--The message is now yours.
