A Life Beyond Ordinary

Aren't you tired of ordinary living? Has settling for good things robbed you from the best things? All too often, we are content with our nice, cozy, comfortable routine, and we miss opportunities to step outside of our own comfort and reach into someone else's pain. Did Jesus sacrifice so much, so that you and I could live so little? If God's love for us is so big, then why are we satisfied with a life so small?

Playing it safe will never produce God's best in you. You were born for something far greater. History shows that men and women who have impacted their genereations for the glory of God did so by pushing the boundaries of what others thought to be safe and trusting themselves to God alone. This is the essence of second mile living. This is Christianity at its best: going beyond what is expected to demonstrate a radical love for God and an irrational love for people.

Our passionate pursuit of God will undoubtedly result in an unquenchable desire to care for people--all kinds of people. Black, white, rich, poor, educated, uneducated, lovely, unlovely, religious, non-religious--all people matter to God. Loving people enough to risk your own safety and your own reputation is central to the Gospel message.

You can make a difference if...
You care more than others think is wise
You risk more than others think is safe
You dream more than others think is practical
You expect more than others think is possible!
