The Priority

Our Sunday School curriculum is called "Orange". 

The Orange philosophy is taken from the idea that Christ "yellow" and the family "red" combine in a melting pot fashion to create a church that is correctly balanced. When I say church here I am talking about the people, not the building. The church is at home, work, and play because the church is more than a building...it's people... the body of Christ.


We ask ourselves the question, "Where does church belong on my priority list?" I would say that question is incomplete. The correct question does not prioritize church, for as Christians, WE ARE the church! The correct question would be, "Where does Christ belong on my priority list?" The correct answer to this question is... in every slot. Not at the top because if we leave Him at the top and move to another priority on our list, we leave Christ behind to focus on something else. 

What did Paul mean when he said, "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."(Philippians 1:21)Well we know what it means to die. When we die as a believer we go to heaven and therefore "gain" a closer walk with the Father. But since when did Christ be come a verb? Can you Christ something? I think what he really meant was that in every part of living, in everything we do Christ is THE priority. 

You want to talk about RADICAL?! What if we had only one item on our priority list? What if instead of putting Christ at the top of our list with family, job, and college football to follow it, what if our only priority was Christ? How would our lives change?

At every family outing, Christ. 

At every long drawn out business meeting, Christ. 

At every college football stadium, Christ.

In everything that we do, Christ.


It may be out of left field.

It may not be way you've ever thought.

Consider it.
