What will we look like?

What will we look like if we invite the whole world in and they refuse to look like us? Will we let them stay? Will we allow them to belong?

What will we look like if the unsaved join us Sunday gathering after Sunday gathering and they fail to say the prayer of salvation? Will we push religion down their throat for their own good? After all, isn't that the goal? Isn't that why we do what we do? To get the lost found?

What will we look like if we do what we're called to do and let God do what he promised to do? What will we look like if we depend on the Holy Spirit to get the job done instead of our well intended religious attitudes?

Will we look broken and damaged and hurting? Will we look broken and damaged and hurting with a glimmer of hope in our eyes? Will we look like a community of people who are a committed family of misfits, searching and eventually, hopefully, finding?
