In Tune with Christ

"Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork are automatically tuned to each other? They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow. So one hundred worshippers meeting together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be were they to become unity conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship. Social religion is perfected when private religion is purified. The body becomes stronger as its members become healthier. The whole church of God gains when the members that compose it begin to seek a better and a higher life." -A.W. Tozer

This is why we cut one board to be a pattern, and use it to mark each of the other boards to be cut -- instead of using each new board as the pattern for the next one. A different analogy paradigm for the same thing.

All politics is local.
All Christian growth is personal / individual.
