So I haven’t been in the best of moods lately, currently I’m stuck in South Carolina and not New Mexico like I wish. So what do you do when you find yourself in a place of discomfort? You change the status quo!  Unless of course it goes against God but, at this point that should go without saying.

Challenge-Status-Quo

People are to afraid of the unknown, so they stay the same and things stay the same. I mean Jesus not only challenged the status quo but He changed it. Could it be so, that when we die daily to our flesh that we are changing the status quo daily? Followers of Jesus are never meant to fit in, we are meant to stand out no matter the cost. Being called a fool for Christ is a better cost than going to hell in a praise of glory. The longer you’re in your comfort zone the bigger it gets and the harder it is to leave until one day something challenges that barrier.

In our Ministry we have a saying of always leave a place better than you found it, wouldn’t you say that is changing the “normal”? The normal that we know now will continue to be the same, unless we challenge it for the better.
