Uncommon Living

Who's to say what is common and uncommon? My boys blurred the lines of common and
uncommon years ago: jumping on the trampoline in the dark, whiffle ball games by flood lights, the ding of the microwave at 2:00 AM, and camouflage year round! God calls Believers to uncommon living. First Samuel tells of friendship between David & Jonathan marked by uncommon boldness - those guys boldly spoke truth to one another! How is it Believers tightly close our lips and withhold truth instead of speaking it plainly - it's just too uncommon today. If we’re really serious about making Truth known, we’ll do and speak uncommonly: speak when others are silent, be silent when others are boisterous, exhibit self-control in uncontrollable circumstances, love the unlovable, extend grace when it isn’t practical. Only God knows the blessings that await us when we speak and live-out His Truth in boldness and love, and only He knows the lives to be changed by Truth shared with courage and compassion. People need to know God's uncommon love and truth in these uncommon times. We are called to... uncommon living!
