Out of Your Mind [2 Corinthians 5:13]

2Co 5:13 For if we are out of our mind, it is for God; if we have a sound mind, it is for you.

Are you crazy about God? Did you know its ok to be a little “nuts?” Christians need to have such excitement for God that we can not hold it in! We need to be so amazed at what God is doing in us that we seem to be a little “out of our minds!” It’s when we are like that that we are bringing praise to God. The Bible does not tell us to sit in a pew, fold our hands, wear a halo, hum a monotone sound and stare at the sky. How can we do that serving the God we do?

Tyndale says it well: “if we are esteemed to be sane, and sober-minded, as we trust you will admit us to be, it is for your sake. Whatever may be the estimate in which we are held, we are influenced by love to God, and love to man. In such a cause, we cannot but evince zeal and self-denial which may expose us to the charge of mental derangement.”

Are you out of your mind? Wait, out of your mind for God?
