Not-so-ordinary people

You may wonder why I say that we Christians are not-so-ordinary people. Allow me to explain... in the Bible, Jesus was talking to the disciples about miracles. He had just cast a demon out of a little boy, "19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, 'Why could we not cast it out?' He said to them, 'Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it will move, andnothing will be impossible for you.' [1] (Matthew 17:19-20, ESV) I don't know about you, but I haven't seen any amazing miracles lately. We (Christians) have the spiritual power of the Hulk, but are afraid of the little mouse called Failure and his brother Scorn. We are NOT ordinary. We have a "Superhero" Who lets us use His power to do good, but we don't act on this. Imagine how the world would be shocked if all of the not-so-ordinary people rose up and did something. I know that there would be a BIG difference in the way that Christians are viewed. Right now, most people think that we civilized Christians talk big, but walk little. Now I know that there are a lot of us that go unnoticed, so the world is a little misled, but they do have grounds for this assumption. Let's change what they think of us, all of the not-so-ordinary people. Let's DO HARD THINGS, and make a change. Whether it's one conversation, one tweet, or one act of kindness at a time, you never know how God can use you. 


Press on, friends, 
"Be strong and courageous" God is with us, 
So never fear to follow where He leads,
Simeon.
2. Cor. 5:17-21
