What would happen if we had truth in advertising?

 It sounds impossible. I know. But stick with me...

What would happen if we had truth in advertising within the church.

What if every event wasn’t going to be the biggest?

Or the best?

Or awesome?

Or life defining?

Or, even, better than last year?

What if our church services were a community which meets to worship, sing, pray, support one another, pray and learn about God and how to live the Christian life?

What if this was the way we advertised our small groups?

Or our youth groups?

Unfortunately, this may mean that the leaders within a church or ministry will need to swallow their pride and look upon their groups with realistic eyes.

But, what if we actually believed that the “ordinary” things we do actually matter?

What if they actually do result in life change?

Maybe, if we honestly believed these things then we would not only be more honest in our advertising, but more enthusiastic in the way we describe our “ordinary” groups and activities.
