Welcome to International Baptist Church Of Zürich!

My first car was a real “Jalopy” (an old, dilapidated motor vehicle). My dad gave me some good advice. He said, “Watch the oil! A car won’t run without petrol, but you can be driving along the road thinking all is well, and you can burn out the engine for lack of lubrication.” There is a parable in this. As a car will not run without fuel, so we cannot function without food, clothing, rest, and some of the material things in life. However, it is possible to exist without giving thought to spiritual realities. It is a tragedy that people can go day after day with their hearts set on the things of earth, not realising that their lives are being destroyed because they are running without “spiritual oil.” All the comforts and conveniences this earth can afford, will never satisfy the deepest needs of the soul.
