Today was a great day! I went back to Logan County for a metric bike ride. My good friend Michael Wise went with me for the ride. I was able to ride by my old (new now but elementary) high school, see two of my cousins (Louis and Patricia Stuart in Schocoh) as well as share some Logan County history with Michael. We topped it off with an after ride lunch at the Bethel Dipper. It was a wonderful stroll (or ride in this case) down memory lane.

On this last night of Jesus’ life, He continues to pour into His disciples! Being fishermen, they were familiar with farming and trees and fruit. They knew if you cut a branch off a tree, it would die. It’s purpose had ended. Jesus used this analogy to show them how important it was to stay connected to Him and the Father. The disciples were about to be scattered and would lose all hope. Jesus invites and reminds them to stay the course and continue to live out their calling. We live in perilous times. The term “Christian” often has a negative connotation because people aren’t living out their calling but rather living out their desires. They are dead in their sins and don’t even know it! However, we can’t control or change anyone. We can only control how we conduct ourselves. Are we good representatives of the Good News? Am I? Are you? Do we tell others we are Christians but yet not follow Jesus and His teachings? Jesus is telling us we cannot be His disciples if we don’t follow His teachings! Do I fail Him? Absolutely! Will you fail Him? Yes! However, if we are His children, we will get back up and continue following! That’s what I’m doing. How about you?

Have you ever been interested (or not) in joining a group only to find out later it wasn’t what you thought it was at all? Today’s verse illustrates one such incident. Jesus had been with His disciple for a couple of years at this point in His ministry. They had seen Him heal the sick, give sight to the blind, open deaf ears and mute mouths and even raise the dead. They heard Him talk about the Kingdom of God and yet they still didn’t get it! They still thought He was here to overthrow Rome, set up an earthly kingdom and rule the world. They associated being with Him as having power and they wanted it. On this day, Jesus tells them how to have power in His kingdom: serve God and others. Instead of being rulers, they would be servants. This is what being in Jesus’ kingdom looks like. It was true when He spoke these words and it’s still true today. Being a servant usually doesn’t gather a lot of fame and fortune yet that is what being a Christian is all about: serving God and others. Some days are better than others. There are times I fail miserably yet that is what God is calling each of His children to be and do! That’s my job assignment. Is it yours?

We live in a strange world. Recent studies show that even though we have more technology to help people stay connected, they actually feel less connected and more lonely! They often feel they have no purpose and their lives have no meaning! Much of this can be attributed to our secular culture which teaches man is an accident and has no real purpose. King David knew this was incorrect even in his day. He acknowledged that God is the Creator and He has a purpose for His creation, especially mankind! After all, we are created in His image! If that doesn’t tell you how much you are worth, something is wrong! Today know this: you are not an accident, God loves you and you have a purpose in this life. Seek Him and walk in His purpose for you. I’ll promise you will never regret it!

One of the hardest things about being a Christian is acknowledging the fact that we will never be good enough for God to save us. . . that we can never work hard enough to earn God’s favor. . . that no matter how hard we try, we don’t have anything God needs! It’s an incredible burden trying to do enough and be enough to save ourselves that it wears one out! Why? BECAUSE ITS IMPOSSIBLE! If it was possible for us to save ourselves, Jesus would never had to come suffer and pay our sin debt! It’s all about Jesus, who He is and what He accomplished! That’s the jest of Paul’s message to the Christians in Ephesus and is still applicable to us today. Rest and relish in what Jesus has accomplished for us! Live a life of gratitude and servanthood because of what He did but leave the “saving” part to Jesus and Jesus alone!

While we know who wrote most of the books of the Bible, we don’t know who wrote the letter to the Hebrews. There has been much speculation but ultimately we know God wrote it. One thing I am certain of is that the writer was very familiar with athletics and may have been a runner himself! Several years ago, I started running. I never planned to run, didn’t like it and so no purpose in it unless something was chasing me! However, I soon found myself toeing the line to run the Country Music marathon. For those who don’t know, a marathon is 26.2 miles and the Nashville course is a fairly tough course. To make a long story short, I finished the race but I experienced what most first time marathoners experience: fatigue, exuberance, pain and joy. The “experts” will tell you when training, it’s only necessary to run distances of 20 miles or so because you can finish the last 6.2 miles on adrenaline. They are wrong! I can tell you that one has virtually no adrenaline left after running 20 miles! However, as I was finishing the race and coming down the “chute,” the words of Hebrews 12:1-2 came to mind. At the end of my race, people were at the finish line screaming and cheering! It’s like a big party! It lifts you up! That’s how our end will be as children of the living God, as we exit this life and enter into eternity, there will be a party bigger than we can even imagine! How does this happen? Because we look to Jesus for salvation. . . we follow Him. . . we learn from Him,. . . we strive to live out His calling on our life and at the end all the pain and suffering we endured during the life will be forgotten in an instant. I can’t wait for that day to come but until then, I’m keeping my eyes on Him. How about you?

Are you going to Heaven when you die? This is a question many people ponder. Recent polls shows that 87% of Americans identify themselves as Christian. Does identifying oneself as a Christian give evidence one is a Christian? God’s Word gives us the answer to this question.
John 8 is a wonderful chapter in God’s Word. It opens with Jesus giving an object lesson that deals with hypocrisy. After it, we find Jesus dealing with the religious leaders of the day who were supposedly looking for the Messiah. The sad part is He was speaking to them and they rejected Him. He then turns to those who heard and believed His message which leads us to today’s verse. What is a sign of someone being a Christian? According to Jesus, one is studying God’s Word. Is it the only one? Absolutely not but it is an essential part of a Christian’s daily life. Why is it important to spending time in God’s Word? Because it points us to Jesus. When Jesus told His listeners they would know the “truth,” He knew that was Him. He tells us He is the truth!
How much time do you spend in God’s Word? There is no concrete answer to how much time we need to spend but it is virtually impossible to have a relationship with Him if you aren’t reading His Word! I encourage you to
pick up your Bible and start reading it. The gospel of John is a good place to start! Let me know how it goes!

God is so good! In this little book in the O.T., He shows us just how good He is! Joel was writing at a time when Judah had turned far away from God! As always, God had warned them of impending judgment yet they still refused to listen. So God brought judgment on them, not because He was mean and vindictive but because He loved them and knew that the direction they were going would only bring more heartache. He brought judgment through a plague that destroyed most of their crops. Judah was a nation of farmers and having their food source taken away was pretty serious! Yet God promised if they returned to Him, He would restore them. America today is no different than Judah but we are too blind to see it. God has been judging us for quite sometime now and we have not recognized it! Judah did repent and God did restore them. I pray we will do the same!

Have you ever really messed up? If we are being honest, all of us would have to answer yes! King David wrote these words after being in a place where he shouldn’t have been, seeing something he shouldn’t have seen and doing two things he should have never done. In short, he saw Uriah’s wife, had her sent to the palace, committed adultery with her and then had her husband killed after he found out she was pregnant! He was confronted by Nathan the prophet and this psalm was his request to God! You know what happened? God forgave him but his sin brought consequences that he had to face and that sin cost him dearly. Just like David, when we confess our sin, repent from it and seek God’s forgiveness, He will forgive us but often we still have to deal with the consequences of that sin. You may think your sin is too great and God can’t forgive it but you’re wrong. He forgave David, He has forgiven me and He can and will forgive you if you’ll turn to Him!
