In a sermon at Riverside Church, Bill Coffin pointed out: "In the Holy Land,
there are two ancient bodies of water. In one, fish splash, birds sing, roots
seek sustenance and people find their living. Around the other: neither fish,
nor bird, nor leaf are anywhere near. The difference is not in their source--
the Jordan River feeds both-- but in what these two bodies do with that
life-giving water. For every drop the Sea of Galilee takes in, it also sends forth.
The Sea of Galilee gives and in so doing, it lives. The other gives nothing and is
called the Dead Sea."
