Are you an Insane Christian?

It was interesting to see the words "Insane" and "Christian" next to each other.

My favorite definition of insanity is a quote from Albert Einstein..doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different results.

So are you insane? Does today look like yesterday, like last Tuesday or maybe like the Tues after Thanksgiving last year? Most likely your answer is like many of us, yes.

Are you still tired? Job still bother you? Want to find more time to spend with loved ones? Life full of stress? Want to spend more time with an authentic friend? Fell overwhelmed, unimportant or not loved?

How about what is going on around you????
Does injustice still bother you? Relationship issues that maybe you should have had "the conversation"? Need to forgive someone? Need to ask for forgiveness?
Unhappy with your weight? Finances still killing you and controlling your life? Relationship with Christ going well? Spending more time working on your relationship with Him? Praying more, reading the Bible more?

Any of this fell like you? Pick any of the issues above, or add your own, how are you doing? Same as yesterday, last week? Trying to change by doing the same thing? Einstein hit the nail right on the head?

As Christians we are called to live a life of Love. Serving the Lord and loving others as we have been loved. How are you doing there?

Will these next 45 days look the same as last years 45 days after Thanksgiving? Between now and the first full week of January life is just a little different. American consumerism with a side of Santa, presents and hectic business? Then we look back over 2009 and say "That's it, I need to change....2010 will be different!" Will it really be different? Are you going to end the insanity? If so, don't wait until January 1st to start.

Slow down, change your life and don't get pulled into the materialistic society that we live in. Live your life for Christ and love others well! Don't call yourself a Christian if you're alright with being insane. Your life should look different compared to those who don't know Christ!

We impact many people throughout our lives. One study shows that a highly introverted person impacts over 10,000 lives throughout their life time. You are not highly introverted, so how many more than 10,000 will you impact! Better question..."will it be a positive or negative impact?"

You can make a difference. It starts with ending the insanity!
