Here's something to wrestle with:
Luke 20:9
"A certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time. NKJV
I wonder how much authority, and what power the vinedressers had over the vineyard. What would happen to the vine, if the vinedressers were waiting on the owner to come and do all the dressing?
I suppose everything would be OK if the church waited for the rapture...but I'm looking at the vine and thinking, "What could I accomplish, if I could just buy myself a copy of Vinedressing for Dummies, and get to work?"
