Bust A Rut

Ruts keep you stuck.

They limit, confine, and restrict you.

Sometimes, ya just gotta bust a rut and do something new.

Here’s one of the biggest ruts we get trapped in: living for self—being “me” centered.

We are talented consumers. Our tastes have become highly refined.

We know what we like, what we want—and we want more of it.

This consumer mentality is how many Christians approach their faith…

Their tastes are highly refined. They know what they like, what they want—and they want more of it.

It’s a rut that keeps ‘em stuck. Their wheels are spinning but they’re not going anywhere.

Jesus modeled a different way—something contrary to the “me” centered consumer life.

He lived to give and his agenda was to serve, not be served.

He said, “I came not to be served but to serve others and give my life…” (Matthew 20.28)

Followers of Jesus aren’t talented consumers, they’re willing servants.

Are you a Jesus follower?

Has your approach to the Christian life been mostly “me” centered?

Have you become a talented consumer? You might be in a rut…

And sometimes, ya just gotta bust a rut and do something new.

Try a different way—the way that says, “It’s not about me. My agenda is to serve. I live to give.”
