Good question. I think I would rather just be the boat and allow Him to control the anchor and the direction.
Yes, because without Him we are anchorless and rudderless.

To be honest I think that the original analogy did capture the inherent flaws in being extreme in any direction. The overly conseravative do endeavor to be an anchor and are resistant to God's moving. While it is the nature of the overly Liberal to want to be the direction setter in the first place. They are both equally instances of man wanting to control too much. Either position is dangerous and can lead to someone being far away from where God really wants them.

I don't think I would want to be in a rudderless ship,
nor would I want to be in one that is dragging its anchor.
There must be some moderate place there in between those two extremes.

Good points. I think I'll go to bed now and maybe I'll get a revelation in my sleep to further this analogy.
It is good to have you back on AFF land.
