#WakingThoughts: I would really like to create spaces of righteousness, excellence and progressiveness. For in the midst of crisis lies opportunity. Light shines brightest in great darkness. 
In my mind, a Christian is one who combines Character + Excellence + Spiritual Gifts. When one element is missing, the Christian's light is dim and he/she has scant impact on the world.
Character requires humility and sacrifice. It does good even when there is no audience or peer regulation.
Excellence requires skill, talent, incredible hardwork and consistency. Spiritual gifts hide in the church and are rarely applied in the real world when bestowed on the religious, narrowminded and judgmental.
When you see a Christian with all three traits, you will hear of changed lives, business innovations, scientific breakthroughs, political movements. You will see the result of piercing, unrelenting, uncommon light.
