“I DON’T want to go where the majority goes”

Wow…I believe this video is challenging for all of us in the U.S. It is SO easy to get comfortable. We live for comfort. In our culture, we are bombarded by the latest gadgets and gizmos to make things easy for us. We  go to school year after year so we can earn a “comfortable” living before we get married to a “comfortable” spouse so we can drive the most “comfortable” car, live in the most “comfortable” house in the most “comfortable” neighborhood never having to risk anything. Why? Because being stretched out of our comfort zone is SCARY. However, what I’ve been learning lately is that it’s in those moments when we’re least comfortable that we are more likely to RELY on GOD! There is nothing wrong with comfort in and of itself, but when life becomes more about the “comfort” than about the “COMFORTER” there is a problem. Christianity is uncomfortable because it requires dying to our flesh daily, submitting to a God that is unseen, walking by faith and not by sight, loving when we don’t feel like it, praying when we don’t know how, walking in obedience, humility and sacrifice. If Jesus came to live a comfortable life, we would still be waiting for a Messiah. Let’s STOP living comfortably and START living in surrender. There is so much more to live for, there is so much more to be done. I hope this clip challenges you just like it challenged me to do something uncomfortable FOR Christ. In the words of Jesus, “If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.” Matthew 10:39. Amen
