What if...?

What if...
...We loved Jesus as much as we love guns?
...We were as committed to Christ as we are to exercise?
...We were as passionate about Christianity as we are about politics?
...We were as dedicated to reaching people as we are about keeping up with the Kardashians?
...We were as willing to talk about Jesus as we are to talk about the weather?
...We were as hungry for spiritual things as we are for fast food?
...We were as concerned with reflecting the image of God as we are about fitting in with the world?
...We loved our neighbors instead of isolating ourselves from them?
...We loved God more than ourselves?
 
What if?
 
 It bothers me when I am not making an impact.  It bothers me when I am a poor reflection of Jesus.  It bothers me when I am a poor husband and father.  It bothers me when I don't have the mind of Christ.  It bothers me when I care more about worldly things than I do about eternal things.

Do these things ever bother you?

What if we are were 100% followers of Christ?  How would we be different?  How would our worlds around us be changed?  What if?
