Mediocrity

First Baptist Church of Thousand Oaks

I think of some maximum men and women who have changed the world. Men like Ghandi and Reagan. Women like Mother Teresa. Maximum disciples like the Apostle Paul, Charles Spurgeon, John Wesley, and of course, Billy Graham have made a huge contribution to our world. They were "maximum" men and women--nothing "moderate" about their passions and pursuits. I think of what the Apostle Paul said in this regard, "Whatever you do, do it as if you are doing it for the Lord, Himself" (Col.3:23). Certainly the Lord deserves nothing but excellence in our service--the maximum output of our devotion.
