. . .
Grace multiplies.
I wonder where Jesus would wield his whip in today's church? Where are the "dens of thiefs"?
...
"You can get all A's and still flunk life." (Percy)
I wonder how the disciples felt when after ministering to the Samaritan women and her friends, Jesus had them stay there for two more days.
In the school setting excellence is not measured by just academics but by character.
People today are not just looking out for number one; they don't believe there is anyone who qualifies as a number two.
I would like to see the look on Peter's face when his brother Andrew walked up and said, "We've found the Messiah."
Is my church a place where if someone said what's this following Jesus thing all about, I could say, "Come and see"?
Do those who believe that there is no "right," believe as well that there is no "wrong"? What kind of society would that produce?
What makes something idealism? A refusal to put the idea into practice?
How much would people give to the church--or any charity--if it wasn't a tax deduction?
