Thank you for sharing it with us. I never knew that story about the war horses, but would like to read more about it. Will have to Google it, eh??
I have experienced stable horses who plod along while you try your best to urge them on, but run like the wind once you turn back toward the stables. Many Christians ARE like that.

Loved this post about the war horses and Fury. What a beautiful comparison between them and so many church goers. You are certainly right about most of the churches having lost their zeal and their congregations go thru the motions by rote with very little substance. So many of them are more like a social club where the folks fill the pews on Sunday morning and attend the socials but it seems to be more for show and out of habit than being "on fire" for Jesus and the gospel.

I don't attend church in person any more but every Sunday morning I watch John Hagee's church service from his Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas (on his TV station GETV). He and his son Matthew certainly preach the Word with zeal and stir their congregations enthusiasm for the God and the Gospel. Nothing lukewarm about them.
