What If....

From Perry Noble:

I had some “what if” thoughts the other day that I wanted to share…

• WHAT IF the church really believed that Jesus was as powerful as Scripture
  says that He is?
  
• WHAT IF we were not afraid to BEG GOD for ridiculous things, knowing that He
  is able?
  
• WHAT IF we REALLY believed that Acts
  2:41-47 was actually the starting point of all that God wants to do through
  the church and NOT the watermark?
  
• WHAT IF we really believed that a life dedicated to Christ means that we are
  completely His…not just on Sunday?
  
• WHAT IF every church became a cheerleader of other churches and not critics?
  
  
• WHAT IF we really believed the church existed to CHANGE the world and not
  just to “meet my needs!”
  
• WHAT IF we really believe that teenagers and children are worth the
  investment and poured resources into them instead of making them sell doughnuts
  in front of department stores?
  
• WHAT IF we really believed God’s Kingdom should grow through the church
  instead of being stagnant?
  
• WHAT IF we were willing to lay aside our personal preferences for the sake
  of reaching those who are far from God?
  
• WHAT IF we refused to participate in slandering and tearing down another
  person?
  
• WHAT IF we sought to embrace God’s plan for our lives (and churches) instead
  of trying to get Him to bless ours?
