"Sheep"

Church, just because the Bible refers to you as "sheep" doesn't mean you have to be as dumb as one - it is a metaphor...

According to Wikipedia, "A metaphor is a literary figure of speech that describes a subject by asserting that it is, on some point of comparison, the same as another otherwise unrelated object. Metaphor is a type of analogy and is closely related to other rhetorical figures of speech that achieve their effects via association, comparison or resemblance including allegory, hyperbole, and simile."

So now, you must ask yourself, at what "point of comparison" am I like a sheep? or at what "point of comparison" does God want me to be like sheep?

You see, the thing is, you're not really sheep.  So you better find out what that means and stop walking around like you have to obey everything the leadership of your particular organization says and does because in the end, you are responsible for being a part of it.

Stop acting like you have no choice.

You have mind.  You have will.  Study to show your self approved.

Think about it.
