•Read; And not just the Bible)
•Listen: To mature Biblically based people
•Constantly make new friends: I always learn something important with every new person I get to know, and yes non-believers
•Hang around with better leaders than you are (trust me, there are a lot of great leaders out there)
•Constantly be ready to try something new every day: restaurant, food (noticed I started with my favorites), exercise, different driving route, even entering a building differently can teach you something
When you grow yourself first,those around will have the opportunity to grow

It is so normal to give into your natural desires; many people do it all of the time. Join us Sunday as we learn how to stop doing what normal people do and get WEIRD, learn that God’s has something so much better in mind than our immediate desires if we will only wait on him.

We are called to be “Holy”; Holy means set apart, different. Bring someone you know that needs a “different” life than they are liviing and let’s learn how to get “WEIRD” in a God way.

I think all of us at times have had what I call a “Solomon Day”; when we feel like it’s “Meaningless, meaningless, everything is meaningless” (Ecclesiastes 1:2). Yesterday I had one of those days.
But here it is; outward circumstances should never direct our actions…God should!
It all comes down to this, we can’t control what other people do or say to us or about us, but what we can control is how it’s going to affect our day. Even after yesterday I can still say, “Today is the day that the Lord has made and I will rejoice in it”.
The fact is, you will get knocked down, but as Christ followers we should always be up or getting back up. Today I’m getting back up.

Join us Sunday as we start the series called “Weird” and learn to live life in a STRANGE, DIFFERENT, and BETTER way! Really, let’s get ““W.E.I.R.D.” and start being Walking Examples In Righteous Daily

For the first 25 years of my life I would’ve been offended if you called me weird; I wanted what normal people in this world wanted; money, big house, nice cars, nice clothes, and bigger toys. And I almost ended up like most people in the world, burned out, in debt, and divorced. Then something happened, I become an “alien”. (“…As aliens and strangers in the world… Live such good lives….” 1 Peter 2:11-12). Get with us this coming Sunday, get over normal, and get “W.E.I.R.D.” and start being Walking Examples In Righteous Daily

We are told not to think to highly of ourselves (Romans 12:3) because, trust me, a non-believer knows when some looks down on them…for any reason.
