What Kind of Church Would It Be?

What kind of church would the local church that I attend be if everyone was just like me?

How long would the church be able to pay its bills, support its ministries, and back its missionaries?

If everyone reacted as I do, how long would it survive?

If everyone won as many souls as I do, would the church be growing or declining?

Suppose that everyone supported the services the way I do, would there be any gatherings of God’s people?

If everyone studied their Bible and prayed as much as I do, what would the church be like?

Suppose everyone followed my example when it came to visitation, teaching Sunday school, caring for the nursery, or helping with the chores – what kind of a church would it be?

There is nothing little in God; His mercy is like Himself - it is infinite. CHS

The new life is not ours that we should ascribe its excellence to our own merit: it is Christ's image...and is ordained for His glory. CHS
