What if followers of Jesus won every election for leadership and public policy? What if, in the process, we collectively earned a reputation for being a decent and honest people? What if we were universally regarded, not as self-righteous, money-loving, hypocrites, but as faithful, sincere advocates of personal and social morality? What if all of our leaders and churches were models of moral uprightness? What if none of our members were unethical in business, deceptive in politics, or unfaithful to our wives?

What if we were able to do with our generation what Moses was never able to do with God’s chosen people?

Would we have fulfilled our mission? Would we have reached our goal?

Note: after sensing some of the frustration in the discussion below, I’m simplifying the list of hypotheticals to 1 question after the 20th comment. I really do think there’s a point here that deserves some careful thought.
