We All Have a Big Butt.

God has a calling for each of us. We (Christians) are all called to share the message of Jesus with those around us. We are all called to show God’s love to those we come in contact with every single day. We are all called to help develop other Christ followers (a.k.a. make disciples). It’s God’s will for each of us to spend time with Him every day. God’s called each of us to live holy lives. There also may be specific callings — for example, God might have called you to lead “Bill Johnson” (insert any specific name) to Christ. Or He might have called you to serve in the choir at church (or some other specific ministry).

We always have an excuse to get out of some of these things:

But I’m too busy . . .

But I’m so tired. I don’t feel like it . . .

But I worked in the nursery this morning, why do I need to have “God time” today? . . .

But . . .
But . . .

We all have a big but! Quit scratching your “but” and do what God’s called you to do!

This past weekend at Church our youth pastor did a fantastic job sharing the message where he used the phrase “we all have a big butt” to illustrate this idea. I thought it was great so I stole it and adapted it for my blog.
