A popular comedian (Flip Wilson), did an impression of a preacher at the "What's Happening Now Church."

 The preacher yelled: "IF THIS CHURCH IS GOING TO SERVE GOD IT'S GOT TO GET DOWN ON ITS KNEES AND CRAWL!!!"

 And the congregation in the skit would yell back "Make it crawl preacher, make it crawl!

 And then he would yell: "AND ONCE THIS CHURCH HAS LEARNED TO CRAWL, IT'S GOT TO GET UP ON ITS FEET AND WALK!!!"

 And the audience would yell back "Make it walk preacher, make it walk."

 Then he would say: AND ONCE THIS CHURCH HAS LEARNED TO WALK IT'S GOT BEGIN TO LEARN TO RUN!!!"

 And they would yell, "Make it run, preacher, make it run!"

 Then he would say, "AND IN ORDER TO RUN, ITS GOT REACH DEEP DOWN INTO ITS POCKETS AND LEARN TO GIVE!!!"

And the congregation would respond, "Make it crawl preacher, make it crawl."

What we fail to realize that there is a price for success. There is a responsibility we assume in our mature faith.
