Is mediocracy a sin…?
Like all things, it depends on the posture of the heart. The spiritual truth is the Lord has not called you to be mediocre nor does He want you to choose a mediocre life. This is a fundamental theme in the Bible. You are a special people; the head not the tail; more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus. A strange and peculiar people; sons and daughters; priests.
In the modern era, people both love and distain mediocracy. On one hand, culture teaches to not be mediocre in money, or in career pursuits. One can spend countless hours on Youtube finding meaning to one’s life, how to influence people, and make the most amount of money doing the least amount of work while living on a beach.
At the same time, culture largely teaches mediocracy in escapism, fulfilling the flesh. Not choosing values and virtues which have laid the bedrock of Western culture. Mediocracy in our culture is perplexing.
As the Bride of Messiah, we need to guard ourselves from the temptation to just get by, to blend in, to simply live comfortably. In fact, there may be no greater ploy of the Enemy than this in the modern world.
Don’t settle for mediocrity.
The Blood of Jesus has bought you. THERE IS NOTHING MEDIOCRE in this. You are destined to be everything but MEDIOCRE.
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:7-8
