Are you out of your mind?

Are you out of your mind?  Have you ever heard that question?  I know many kids have heard it or those that are just highly adventurous.  But let me ask you, have you ever heard it about your faith?  Think about that.  Many things that we do, at times, as believers, are what has been considered a stamp of approval from other believers.  "Out of your mind" seems more like, why would you be so different.  Now there is a question.  Why be different?  Are we living a "Christian" life style, but not actually being different? Maybe "living to be accepted" in the minds of other believers and not living out our minds?  If we live out of our minds, we begin to not "think" about what others "think", but rather live out of our hearts, because that is truly where Christ should exist.   Our lives can not be lived to gain approval of others.  We should be "out of our minds" and living a life that will CHANGE the world for Jesus.  

Here is your stone!!

"We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us, so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart. If we are “out of our mind,” as some say, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you." (2 Corinthians 5:12, 13 NIV)

I don't know about you, but that my friend will preach!!!
