Is It Time?

Is it time that we repent of our lack of faith that God will supply our needs?

Is it time that we stop making decisions out of anxiety and fear?

Is it time that we stop making decisions as if we, and not the Holy Spirit, have to be in control of things?

Is it time that we stop caring about how much money we have in the bank?

Is it time that we stop caring about how many people sit in our pews?

Is it time that we stop caring whether our institution will be around in 20 years, or 100 years, or tomorrow?

Is it time that we start caring more about the poverty and oppression which increasingly plague our communities?

Is it time that we stop fighting for justice for ourselves while we overlook greater injustices being inflicted on others?

Is it time that we stop viewing stewardship, or the careful management of resources, as such a good thing?

Is it time that we stop believing that God won't replenish, that God won't send manna tomorrow, even though God did today and yesterday and the day before that?

Is it time to be bold, even reckless, in using our vast resources to show the love and justice of Christ?

Is it time to realize that it is unholy for us to save so much for tomorrow when there is so much work to be done today?
