About This Quote
The Lord doesn't want anybody in His house who has to be dragged there. The definition of dragging is the act of moving something heavy by pulling, pushing, or pushing through something. So, in this quote it is saying that if you are here for “the Lord’s house” you should not be dragged to. This means that God wants us to be ready for His call when He calls us rather than just being willing to listen to him.
Being willing to listen to the Lord is very important because he works on our behalf and the more we listen the more we receive from him. However, if we are dragged into his service without being ready then it will not be good.
