What If…Part 3

June 30, 2023 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

What would life be like if we took out the “if factor”?

Think about the following questions.

Do we limit the power of God by the boundaries we create in our own mind?

Do we believe God has the power to do far beyond all we ask or think according to the power that works within us?

What do we hinder God from doing when we place limitations on Him?

What could God do through you and me as leaders if our faith was greater?

When we believe that God can and will accomplish His purpose, in spite of us, maybe we would stop thinking small and start thinking big!

What If…Part 2

Yesterday, I posed this question: What would we do if we knew we could not fail?

The challenge is to see a much bigger picture. Consider the following: If we could not fail…

Would we talk to the neighbor across the street?

Set greater goals for reaching the lost in our city, state, or country?

Approach world missions with loftier efforts?

I ask this because we can’t fail! The Bible reminds us that not one of God’s good promises ever failed.

He is with us and for us, and “if God is for us, who can be against us?” (Rom. 8:31). Why are we waiting?

What If…Part 1

Think about the various ways we use the word if.

If we could only win a game.

If I had a dime for every time I heard someone say…

If you do that one more time I am going to stand you in the corner (or some other form of discipline).

If I hear this any more I will go crazy.

If archaeologists would find (a Biblical artifact) I would believe.

We often speak with the conditional use of the word if.

Yet, there is also great significance to the use of this word. What would you or I attempt to do if we knew we could not fail?

Since / If

Imagine leading with certainty. No longer would we speak in terms of if, but rather the certainty of since certain conditions exist we know where to lead.

Since we influence at least four people a day, we should study leadership more, and learn how to make a greater difference.

Since we lead others to heaven, we should prepare ourselves with a greater understanding of how to lead them there.

Since we serve to keep people focused on this goal, we should be more tolerant in matters of personal opinion, and work together to achieve unity.

Let us lead with certainty to make the future a better place.

If… Part 3

Even though the English often reads if, a first class conditional sentence structure in the Greek language demands greater certainty, since.

Transferring this into areas of leadership carries an interesting thought.

Since we influence a minimum of four people a day, we should study greater levels of leadership and the opportunity to make a greater difference.

Since we work to help souls get to heaven, we should prepare ourselves with a greater understanding of God’s word.

A number of areas could be considered, but the idea is the same. Let us lead with the certainty needed to make the future of the church stronger.

We left off yesterday with this question: “What would we do if we knew we could not fail?

Would we talk to the neighbor across the street if we could not fail?

Would we set greater goals for reaching the lost of our state or country if we could not fail?

Would our approach to world missions take on loftier efforts if we could not fail?

We cannot fail! The Bible reminds us that not one of God’s good promises ever failed. 

He has promised to be with us and never forsake us, to listen to us and counsel us, and to give the increase.

Why are we waiting?

If…

Think about the various ways we use the word “if.”

If we could only win a game.
If I had a dime for every time I heard someone say…
If you do that one more time I am going to…
If I hear this again I will go crazy.
If archaeologists could find (pick out a Biblical artifact) I would believe.

We often use this word in a conditional sense.

Consider the significance of this word in a question: “What would we do if we knew we could not fail?”

Think about it and we will look at more tomorrow.
