Get Out of Your Rut


"I believe the greatest trick of the devil is not to get us into some sort of evil but rather have us wasting time. This is why the devil tries so hard to get Christians to be religious. If he can sink a man's [or woman's] mind into habit, he will prevent his heart from engaging God."

What if?


What if we get to Heaven and find out that there always had been solutions to all the problems of the earth? What if when we meet our Maker we find out that all the time we were on this earth there was enough food, clean water, shelter, and love for everyone but we just couldn't get it out? What if we thought we were too busy to get out the Word but He shows us that we had all the time we needed? What if there were plenty of resources to go around but a bad distribution plan kept them from being used? What if we find out that we had more than others because He trusted us to be His distributors...the ones to get out the message and the means?

His Church (us) should be the distribution center for needs of the world. The Church has been doing this work for centruries but has some human traits that hold it back. What if we reassessed how we used our time? What if we take a long hard look at what we use our resources for and prioritized the distribution of the Word, food, water, shelter and love?

What if?
