  1. TheEXTRAORDINARY Ordinary Christian

  2. ME? You’re kidding, right? Can’t walk Soil my diapers … enjoy it Have to be spoon-fed Whine and cry when I don’t get my way Can’t even arm-wrestle a chipmunk WAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

  3. Which Is Smoother

  4. … we are not godly. We are constant sinners; how can people like us be saved? We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind. Isaiah 64:5-6 NLT

  5. No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one. Romans 3:10 NLT

  6. John 15:5 NIV I am the vine, you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

  7. An ordinary task BE HONEST WITH GOD • He knows it anyway • It gives you clarity that He knows the worst about you • It provides a surface which God can touch

  8. An ordinary task BE HONEST WITH GOD BE REAL WITH OTHERS • Most people, being phonies themselves, can spot a phony. • A habit of being real will let Jesus be real with others also • It provides a surface which others can touch

  9. An ordinary task BE HONEST WITH GOD BE REAL WITH OTHERS LET GOD BE GOD • Seriously consider how little you actually understand about God • Seriously consider how unlikely He is to ask you for advice • Seriously consider that His grace makes no sense. He just does what He wants to do.

  10. An ordinary task BE HONEST WITH GOD BE REAL WITH OTHERS LET GOD BE GOD DON’T KEEP SCORE • For starters, we don’t even understand the game. • Even if you win, you lose. • Scorekeeping makes you untouchable.

  11. An ordinary task BE HONEST WITH GOD BE REAL WITH OTHERS LET GOD BE GOD DON’T KEEP SCORE AVOID THERMOMETERS • God’s temperature is always normal • My temperature doesn’t affect God’s temperature • Others’ temperature doesn’t affect God’s temperature • Constant temperature taking just makes everybody sore

  12. An ordinary task BE HONEST WITH GOD BE REAL WITH OTHERS LET GOD BE GOD DON’T KEEP SCORE AVOID THERMOMETERS IN THE PLAY OF YOUR LIFE, PLAY YOU • Nobody else can play your part • You can’t play another’s part • Listen to the director, not the other actors • Play to an audience of one

  13. So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless. 1Cor 15:18 NLT
