And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

The Apostle Paul was extreme. Just like Jesus. He was focused and determined to gain ground for God.
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:14
Extreme Love
There has never been a love like Christ’s love. Billions follow Him. His love constrains His followers to do amazing things.
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:20
Extreme Selflessness
Let’s live out 2019 selflessly, like Christ.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Matthew 5:44
Extreme Kindness
The world is cold and in need of kindness. Forget run-of-the-mill kindness, let’s go for unusual kindness. Let’s go for extreme kindness this year.
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
Ephesians 4:32
Extreme Peace
To be extreme does not mean to live with unsustainable ambition. The most extreme Christian is one that walks moment by moment with Christ. He is the one who leads us to the mountaintops and through the valley of the shadow of death. Through it all He gives us His peace.
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 14:27
Extreme Accountability
Don’t think about this too much. It will blow your mind! What will your meeting with God be like? Make 2019 worth talking to Him about!
So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Romans 14:12
Extreme Commitment
There are hints hidden in plain sight in the Word of God. Here is the secret to your success in 2019.
Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
Proverbs 16:3 ¶
Extreme Fruitfulness
There’s a lot in this promise from Christ. He wants us to prosper. He wants to bless us. In doing so, He gets extreme glory, as He should.
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
John 15:16
Extreme Adventure
Bored? That’s because you’re not pursuing Christ. His Holy Spirit brings us peace, but the Holy Spirit as the Comforter constantly leads us outside our comfort zone.
Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 15:26
Extreme Grace
Read these promises. Notice how extreme God’s grace is. Words like much more and abounded only begin to describe His grace. Much more than amazing. It’s extreme!
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
Rom. 5:15
For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
Rom. 5:17
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
Rom. 5:20
Let’s do this in 2019. Let’s be more like Christ. Let’s be extreme in 2019.
