WHAT IF

Simply "Church"  Max Lucado

The church names we banter about?  They don't exist in heaven.  Because its not the denomination that saves you.  And I wonder, if there're no denominations in heaven, why do we have denominations on earth?

I know this is a crazy thought -- but what would happen if all the churches agreed, on a given day, to change their names simply to "church"?  And then when people chose which church to attend, they wouldn't do so by the sign outside, they'd do so by the hearts of the people inside.

And then, when people were asked what church they attend, their answer wouldn't be a label but just a location.  And then we Christians wouldn't be known for what divides us; instead we'd be known for what unites us -- our common Father.

WHAT IF??????
