Church

What if prayers were conversations with loved ones that God was present for?

What if children's ministry was taking my own children tobogganing on a sunny snow covered Sunday?

What if community involvement was becoming a "volleyball mom?"

What if charity was opening up my home and allowing people to disarm over coffee or a meal?

What if the kitchen sink was my alter, my iPhone my worship band and the tears I shed there my offering?

***

What if the paycheck is nothing but the deposits we collect cannot be measured?

Is that faith?

How do you live in today's world with interest on the rise and be generous?

What if not doing church brings you the peace and stillness of God?

Can church ever be low-anxiety for a pastor's wife?

***

What if we exchanged church oppression for freedom in Jesus?

What if God was more sovereign than we give Him credit for...

and we substituted our lists of needs and wants for love?

What if that prayer for love involved unfair pain and suffering here on Earth?

What if...?
