The Rising Tide

In commenting on the waters of Ezekiel 47:1-12, and the power of a river current, Pastor Michael Ross writes:

"This Rising Tide shows forth the awesome power of its Creator and Guide.

So does the Gospel stream of mission. It appears at the surface to lope along slowly. But where no man can go and no instrument may meausre, it carves deep into people groups, cultures, nations and the flow of world history. The rising tide of the Spirit of God is changing the world before our eyes."
