What If...

What if we taught people to stop going to church and instead challenged them to start being the church?
What if we had such a passion for God's Word that we couldn't wait until we could spend some more time studying it again?
What if we viewed every person we talk to as a potential disciple for Jesus instead of viewing them as someone who might meet one of our selfish needs?
What if we worried more about the souls' of those who don't know Christ than we do about offending them with our message?
What if we changed the world around us rather than being changed by the world around us?
What if your next door neighbor knew how passionate you were about your faith?
What if your family knew that Christ was the center of your family's life rather than sports, careers, or social status?
What if you really believed that prayer was powerful and important?
What if the Holy Spirit was really working through you?
What if you were using your talents to grow the church for Christ?
What if you started making holiness and purity the basis for ALL of your decisions?
What if you viewed everything you have as belonging to God instead of yourself?
What if God put a vision for ministry in your heart and you actually followed it?
What if your church actually cared more about reaching non-Christians rather than whether or not the music was the right volume or style?
What if the Church in America did its job taking care of people so the government wouldn't have to do it by force?
What if people started hating you and gossiping about you because you actually started to live as a true disciple of Jesus all the time?
What if your most hated enemy felt your compassion and love tomorrow?
What if we truly had a relationship with God instead of just doing the "Christian" things out of obligation and duty?
What if God shook the foundation of your life to get your attention?

What would happen?
