(Note: special thanks to Gene Jennings for showing me this one!) Feel free to go to the halfway point of this clip to get "the" point. A penguin is in the chase of his life, and he makes a wise decision.
This reminded me of the insanity of someone who leaves a church for less than theologically sound reasons (got their feelings hurt, were overlooked, etc.), and never connect with a church family again. The word reminds us: "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8
We are saved to be a connected, healthy part of our Father's family, the church. What if that penguin decided to jump right back in with all those killer whales circling? That would be a tragedy.
Jesus saved us for Heaven, but also so we could look out for each other, too. This is a reminder to all of us who are members of God's family:

- Don't ever give someone an excuse to leave your church fellowship by being insensitive, mean, selfish, immoral, etc.
- If you must leave a church fellowship, make sure it is for reasons that Jesus would endorse, and immediately find another church family to connect with(Note: television church families don't count!).
