Inspiring the world's tomorrow

We are the church,
so let's imagine, 
what if...

What if we believed Jesus?

What if we believed the explosive power of love and grace?

What if we believed in the kingdom of God?

What if we believed in transformation?

What if we believed that tomorrow doesn't have to be the same as yesterday?

What if we gave people a chance instead of waiting for them to earn a chance?

What if we showed people their worth instead of waiting for them to show us their worth?

What if we gave love away instead of waiting for love to come our way?

What if we offered our trust to people instead of waiting for them to offer their trust to us?

What if we practice relational generosity instead of being relational penny-pinchers?


I know,
it seems like Jesus was a little bit crazy,
but maybe we could learn a thing or two
about ourselves, about God, about one another, and about the world we live in.

He seemed
to believe in something so much bigger,
so can we.

Imagine,
what if…

What if we influenced the future of peoples' track record instead of dismissing them because the track record of their past?

What if God's will was done on earth as it is in heaven?

Imagine,
what if…
We are the church,
so let's imagine -
what if…
