"Faith-full" imagination

Faith sets the imagination to work.

Lively faith can envision numerous ways in which God can work. And there is nothing wrong with that as long as we realize that God is not restricted  to our range of possabilities and methods.

What if all of us let our imaginations run riot in regard to the adequacy and suffiency of God?

Sadly in the Christian church culture imagination often brings up connatations of falsehood and fancy. But this isn’t true of “faith-full” imagination. You might even say that faith needs imagination to pull out all the stops if it’s to begin to grasp the grandeour, majesty and ability of God. “Faith-full” imagination doesn’t falsify God it finds him!

We have a desperate need for imaginative faith.

Am I leading with “faith-full” imagination of what God could do in our midst? Am I dreaming of what the future could look like in light of an all-powerful God?
