Christians Are Too Modest

 

 

 

It seems there’s this underlying belief among Christians that we can’t be bold.  Can’t be successful, can’t be dream chaser, or out of the box people.

I don’t really know where this mentality stems from, I really don’t.  Should we be more successful in business, more successful in chasing and achieving dreams and goals?  Rather than this being the case, the opposite is true.  Why?  We know scripture, Jesus says you can move a mountain, but we pass that off as cute terminology.  He wasn’t being ‘cute’, it wasn’t a pict he posted on Instagram to motivate people, it was truth.

We have this false perception that if we are to be Christians we give all our belongings away and meekly wash people’s feet, and pray, that if it be God’s will he will drop something into our lap.

I believe in being humble in attitude, I believe in serving and washing feet, but God gave us a brain and abilities and talents to use, to work hard at.  He had some pretty harsh things to say to the guy who he entrusted money to and did nothing with it.

Make use of what God gave you.
