That’s Normal

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me” (John 10:27).

Christians prioritize worship. That Christians worship and prioritize worship on the Sabbath day is normal.

Christians serve, give, and tithe. Christians do these things because Jesus told his followers to do so. Serving, giving, tithing is normal for Christians.

Christians obey and submit to God’s word. Christians submit to God’s word and God’s authority because God is God and we are not. Obedience and submission is normal for Christians.

Christians stand for truth with grace even when the culture around them denies those truths. Christians stand for Biblical truth because that’s what their Lord and Savior proclaims. That Christians are different than the people who do not know God is normal.

Christians go through hardship and suffering with grace. It doesn’t mean Christians don’t feel pain or loss. It just means that Christians trust that God knows best, that God wants what is best for them, so they trust God in hardship and suffering.

These are things that the average Christians do because these are things God calls Christians to do.

If these things sound radical it is because the modern church has become so accustomed to nominal Christianity that doing what is normal as a Christian seems radical.

If Jesus said it, Christians do it. That’s normal.
