They Said It Couldn't Be Done

When we started PCC 6 years ago and I began to share my vision for what God was calling us to do so many people told us, "It can't be done ... this isn't going to work .. who do you think you are."

When we wanted to buy 50 acres of land they said "It can't be done. You don't have any money. You don't have many people. There isn't even 50 acres of land for sale in Monroe County. And, by the way, what would a church need 50 acres for in the first place. Who do you think you are?"

Well, one of those naval-gazing, nay-sayers was with us last Sunday morning for the grand opening of our new facility located on a 50-acre plateau in the beautiful Pocono Mountains. He bashfully congratulated me and apologized. I said, no need to apologize, it's a God-thing going on here.

You see, when people tell you that it can't be done - who do you think you are? Tell them, "That's the wrong question. It' not, who do we think we are but who do we think God is that counts." God can do anything. He's a God of miracle. And when He does He gets all the credit. Yeah God.
