Too many times we are a mediocre people content to live mediocre lives and accomplish mediocre things. These tendencies toward mediocrity do not compel us to seek great things from God. If we profess that “Our God is Greater” (see Chris Tomlin song for reference), then we have to believe that God doesn’t call us to achieve mediocre things.

Also,

• If our God is greater, that means He doesn’t call us to be comfortable.
• If our God is greater, then we must go beyond looking at what is possible and start looking at the impossible.
• If our God is greater, than that means our vision must be greater.
• If our vision is to reach and be relevant to other church goers then our vision is way too short sighted. That’s why we must filter our vision by looking through God sized lenses so that our vision compels us to reach the lost and be relevant to a community and generation that is radically different from the one that was here 20, 50, and 100 years ago. We must then be willing to reevaluate every aspect of everything we do and change those areas that fall short of achieving that God-sized vision.
