Inspired by our family trip to Disney World, I will begin blogging again. I’ve said this before and failed to follow through, but I hope that this time around I will continue.  Walt Disney is quoted saying, “1^st Think, 2^nd Believe, 3^rd Dream and finally…… Dare.”  I believe I have gone through the first 3 stages, and now it is time for me to DARE 🙂

I dare to say that our culture has taught us to believe and dream but not so much “think”. And if you think 😉 about the following example, hope you’ll catch the drift and hope that you start intentionally choosing to think 1^st. Thinking is nothing but asking questions and examining the answers to these questions. Just a heads up, believing and dreaming are essential but are not actionable items. Thinking and daring are indeed actionable.

So here’s a hypothetical; Imagine Jesus has been gone for 2,000 years and He comes, not as a 2^nd coming, but rather is searching for His bride to wed. Jesus is anxious being gone for so long. Is His bride, His church, still waiting for Him? So He is going around searching the streets for His bride. He turns a corner and all of a sudden about half a football field away He sees soooooooo many brides dressed in wedding gowns……………….

Jesus gasps so loud that all the brides hear it and turn around and recognize Him…………..

All brides start running towards Jesus, and Jesus can hear each one of them saying “pick me, pick me, I am your bride not the others.” For indeed this is how they have been acting for thousands of years.

Jesus’ hands are on top of His head and His mouth is wide open, stunned He says, “Why so many?”

Few questions if we dare ask them;
– Did God intend for humanity to have so many divisions within His church?
– Was it God’s plan for man to divide like we are divided today over what Jesus said or meant?
– Is God looking at us delighted we have such division? Or is he shaking His head and sad about it?

If you and I have the same answers, then why do we just keep on keeping on? Simply following is an act of propagation of the same. Never think that you or I are just bystanders, there are no bystanders in life. We either act to contribute to the same or act to ‘think’ and ‘ask’ why, and act to change the status quo.

Of course the obstacle is HOW IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE to unite?? Do not be trapped in the impossibility of it. Man has created the division and is very capable to unite. It just takes masses of people asking the same question, and not fight, just be patient and continue to ask these questions above. Over time, if we are persistent and united in asking the same questions, churches will unite. You know why? Because it is indeed God’s plan for man to be united 🙂

Please continue to think, and please ask questions about how can we unite? I do not have the answers, but I believe that together we can figure them out. So please DARE to think and Dare to ask. Please do not think you are a bystander, because you never are 🙂  Stay tuned
