High Bar

Read: 1 Corinthians 11:1-2

It's easy to be an over achiever!

Most of us are probably under achievers. we set the 'bar' so high we have almost insured we won't make it. If your goal is to be better at playing a guitar than Brad Paisley you are doomed to under achieve. If you plan to be better next year than now you probably can over achieve. If you plan to set an Olympic Record in the pole vault and you're as old as I am you're doomed.

You may remember Marty Mornhinweg (former Lions coach) was laughed at for saying "the bar is high." Depending on how high the bar his guys could be over- or under- achievers.

As Christians we are called to be "Christ like". Since we are all humans – in this sense we are all under achievers. The thing to remember is: we are all works in progress. God has not completed His work on us, and we must continue striving to be more Christ-like, even though the bar is extremely high.
