What if?


Pick a town of moderate size.  Let’s suggest that the town has 45 Christian churches in it.  Just for giggles  let’s say the average attendance is 80 people.  That’s 3600 fictional characters.

What would that town be like if all 3600 of its Christian citizens turn to God with full obedience?

I’m not talking about tithing.  I’m not talking about reading the Bible.  I’m not talking about prayer or good works.  I’m talking about a complete abandon to do the will of the Living God in Christ Jesus.

We hear an awful lot of excuses being handed out for the sake of drawing people in.  One I’ve seen recently says, “No perfect people allowed”.  I understand the premise, but it’s also an open door to a lack of devotion.

But I’ll just throw this idea out there.  And suggest a little more Bible reading.  What happened to Israel when David stepped up?  What happened to Israel when Samuel took his place?  And what of Gideon, and all the rest who took their rightful place before the Most High God.

If an entire nation can be turned around by one faithful servant, what might happen with 3600 of them?  What might happen with 3?  Look at what has happened because of 11.

I better hurry and post this before the Lord returns, or we will never find out.

By His Grace
