What If?

crazy, what if

What if all Christians spent as much money on fighting poverty as we do fighting for gun control?

What if all Christians worked together to find the talents and abilities of immigrants as we do trying to build a fence to keep people out?

What if all churches were required to give 50% of their contributions to ministry efforts to maintain their tax free status?

What if the National Day or Prayer was something all Christians participated in regardless of what the President does?  Or believes?

What if all Christians sent the same amount to charity as what they spent on the Starbucks they are walking in the church building with?

What if all Christians prayed with their children multiple times a day instead of complaining the government doesn’t support vocal prayer in schools?

What is all Christians spent as much time reading the Bible in their families as they do going to movies, playing sports and sending their children off in the care of the youth pastor/minister?

What if our legislators were required to work for the minimum wage they voted for?

What if business leaders agreed to a salary no higher than a certain percentage above their lowest paid workers?  And provided good benefits?

Just some “what-if’s?” that step on my toes.

Grace and peace.

A Break From The Regular

character, leadership, legacy, mellor

Here’s a video I saw today that I thought was great to share.  I’m fascinated by leadership that challenges the norm and that puts character ahead of competence.  I’ve taught similar ideas in the workplace without being able to encapsulate the concept to a simply phrase, “character ahead of competence.”

This is Dr. Nathan Mellor speaking at a TEDx event at the University of Oklahoma.  I hope you enjoy the way I did.
