Almost famous!

Max Clifford, the publicist, ‘helpfully’ offers ten simple steps which any of us can follow to become famous.
(Please note I do not actually recommend that you get to work on any of the following ten points – it’s just a bit of fun, but bear with me :o).

1. Appear on a reality series.
2. Enter a talent contest.
3. Be abysmal on a talent show.
4. Gain fame by association.
5. Date a celebrity.
6. Flaunt your body.
7. Date a Royal Family member.
8. Make a home sex video.
9. Be a success on MySpace.
10. Be in the right place at the right time.

Actually that is a bit of a crap and unachievable list, but as Christians we have a similar 10 step list to making Christ famous in our lives – now seriously, let’s get to work!

1. Appear real to those around you and make your faith real. (Matt 5:13-16)
2. Use your talents wisely. (Matt 25:14-30)
3. Run the risk of failure unless God shows up. (Jam 5:17, 1 Kings 18:16-46)
4. Be proud to associate with Christ. (Matt 10:32-33)
5. Associate with no-bodies. (Rom 12:14-19)
6. Rely on the body of Christ for your salvation. (Rom 8:9-11)
7. Realise that you are part of the Royal family. (Eph 1:3-6)
8. Make no record of wrongs! (Col 3:13)
9. Make Space for God daily, make this successful. (Matt 11:28-30)
10. Be in the right place at the right time and ready to do what God says. (Col 4:2-6)

Have a great day!
