05/01/23WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF...

What kind of church,
Would my church be,
If all of the members,
Were just like me?

What would happen if you had a car, with all the right parts, but the parts were not installed, or the parts were not in working condition, or there was no fuel to run the car, even if all of the parts were present, installed and in working condition?
What would happen if you had a computer with all the right parts, but the parts were not installed, or the parts were not in working condition, or there was no power to run the computer, even if all of the parts were present, installed and in working condition?
What would happen if your body had all of its parts, but your brain was unable to communicate with some parts, or some of the parts were crippled or diseased, or there was no life in your body, even if it had all the parts, and even if the brain and nervous system was still physically connected to the organs and systems and even if the organs and systems were in perfect physical condition?

Pretty much, the answer to all three questions is the same, NOTHING.

This is true for local churches, though there are rare exceptions. Very seldom does a local church have all of its parts present and active and proficient. They may have a few folks who are giving themselves to the mission of their church. At best, very little is happening in that situation, and more often, NOTHING is really happening to fulfill the Great Commission or to become the local body that God wants it to be.

Stop. Look. Listen.

Find out what God wants you to do and to be, then follow Him in obedience and see what God can do with you.
