Sowing Seeds Under The Power Of God's Word
2008-05-19 02:30:00 Many believers may be surprised to learn the bible's teachings about providence and reciprocity. In both Old Testament and New Testament scriptures, God shows that providence is a tangible outgrowth of His word's activity.In the clearest of terms, Isaiah's prophecy explains that God's word will not return to Him void, but will accomplish what He desires and achieve the purpose for which He sent it. This is an iron-clad guarantee for God's people to recall even in the direst of circumstances.One can presume that adversity is a constant in this world, and yet rest assured that no obstacle is any match for God's word in fulfilling God's purposes. On psalmist observes that he who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying [harvest] sheaves with him.Extended adversity cannot undermine God's providence. His victory simply does not depend on how “successful” we seem to appear in carrying out our lives' responsibilities. We do have stewardsh... More About: Power , Word , S word , Seeds

April is National Donate Life Month
2008-04-01 22:03:00 Do you know of anyone who has ever had a critical need for an organ transplant? According to a recent U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimate, roughly 95,000 people currently need an organ transplant, and more than half of this number includes ethnic minorities. From time to time, we learn of famous individuals who have either donated or received working organs from living family members and colleagues. As we honor this level of sacrificial commitment, many of us may find ourselves more challenged in following suit during our natural lifetimes, than upon our inevitable demise. Some persons may consider the whole idea of donating "body parts" to be strange, and possibly in conflict with traditional teachings of faith. In that regard, one might be well-advised to investigate those teachings to confirm the extent of any principled basis not to donate.Some of us might be comforted in knowing that simply completing and carrying a donor card could enable each of us to benefi...

Bridal Preparations
2008-03-24 09:48:00 Matthew's gospel account uses bridal imagery to describe the Church's relationship to God's only begotten son, the Messiah. In one passage, Jesus tells a parable of ten brides who are given lamps as a symbol of readiness to meet a bride groom. In that parable, those brides who failed to remain prepared with ceremonial oil for their lamps are excluded from an eventual wedding.One end-times passage continues the bridal theme, describing an actual wedding between the prepared Church as a bride and the Lamb of God as a groom, emphasizing the sacrificial bond between the Messiah and His redeemed body. A related passage further describes the bride's significance as a new Jerusalem, God's holy dwelling place, having the attributes concurrently of Israel's twelve tribes and the Lamb's twelve apostles.That gospel combines the bridal preparation theme with yet another parable concerning stewardship of resources, symbolized by a financial allocation of one, two and five talents given ...
Back To Africa’s Future
2008-02-01 05:40:00 Being of African ancestry in the US has always been, and continually remains a subject of analysis, both inside and outside the African-American community. For some Black people, the implications of maintaining our community identity can seem to be a burden, while for others, it is a source of inspiration and thanksgiving.A beloved preacher asks the questions: “What Makes You So Strong Black Man?” and “What Makes You So Strong Black Woman?”Sometimes we need to be reminded of these related questions and their common answer. Perhaps it is when we experience vulnerability and hopelessness that a need increases within us to recall what makes us so strong. Perhaps it is when our shared history begins to appear ill-suited to inform our present challenges, that we begin to inquire about the ultimate relevance of our ancestral destiny.Now you might be asking: “Ancestral destiny – what does that have to do with being a Christian, and where is that in the bible?” These kinds of ...

February is Black History Month
2008-02-01 05:20:00 Thousands of years of history cannot be compressed into one blog post. Neither can the complexity of the African Diaspora be represented solely through the experience of Black America.Nevertheless, this blog post is intended to honor the heritage of people of African ancestry, a story that has its roots in the beginning of human civilization, and that continues substantially to impact every aspect of life in the new millennium.In the United States, Dr. Carter G. Woodson is credited with having focused the nation's attention upon recognizing annually the historic contributions that African-Americans have made in this society. This effort - having begun as a week-long observance within academia - has now developed into a month-long annual celebration across a wide mosaic of American subcultures, experienced in an even wider range of expressions.In connection with any European presence, this history dates to a point no later than the Jamestown settlement in 1607, although not necessar...

Excitement About What?
2008-01-15 15:38:00 Many of us begin a faith walk after having experienced some kind of earth-shaking insight, while others discover a path to regeneration from a somewhat more subtle recognition of timeless truth.But irrespective of one's initial motivation toward faith in Christ, a common thread is that a faith journey can lead to some unexpected turns. Each passing day brings a new set of challenges, forcing us to reassess our core beliefs and update our prior assumptions about how we relate to God.Many modern-day expressions of faith include an emphasis on celebration and excitement toward the things of God. For some, this emphasis leads to some discomfort, particularly for those who question whether certain leaders have chosen these expressions for manipulative purposes.Nevertheless, many believers are comforted to learn that expressiveness has ancient roots in the community of faith. As one combs through the annals of biblical history, one finds repeated instances of joyfulness and euphoria, par... More About: Excitement , Excite

2008 - This Is Your Season
2008-01-06 05:34:00 The amazing thing about a change to a new year is the sense that we can make new beginnings and accept challenges that we may have considered ourselves ill-suited to address in the previous year.2008 can be your year of wellness and renewal.

March is National Nutrition Month®
2007-07-30 06:54:00 Diet and exercise: words we know, sometimes more easily spoken than accomplished. Sometimes it helps just to get a better understanding of our individual needs. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has adopted MyPyramid, which is a major departure from an outmoded 1992 model that actually may have accelerated America's obesity rates. For my own age, size and exercise pattern, that means roughly a 2600 calorie daily intake, including 4.5 ounces of whole grains, 3.5 cups of vegetables, 2 cups of fruit and 6.5 ounces of protein.

Getting Personal With Societal Sin
2007-07-23 02:26:00 The good news of Jesus Christ is that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes on Him should not perish, but shall have everlasting life.This message’s premise is that sin - separation from God’s righteousness – has a built-in penalty of everlasting punishment. The Gospel story consists wholly in God’s solution of redemptive sacrifice as a remedy for sin.In this era of personal empowerment religion, the pivotal issue of sin often becomes obscured by well-intentioned messages that emphasize overcoming obstacles. These messages often emphasize dedication and determination as essential elements in reaching one’s person objectives, while occasionally deemphasizing spiritual forces that hinder one’s individual progress.The backdrop of evil and demonic strongholds – frequently calling to mind an otherworldly context that extends beyond factors that one ordinarily considers to be controllable – is increasingly dismissed almost as if...

Get Back Up Again
2007-07-06 06:07:00 The resurrection and the life: Christians recognize this expression from Jesus' many I AM descriptions in bible. As we come to grips with our own mortality, the whole idea of being raised again gives us much hope, even though we have very little understanding of what forever means.But as we grow in Christ, it becomes clearer that life means resurrection and vice versa. Creation seems to operate along a death-to-life continuum that frustrates us at times, but gives glory to God in His sovereignty. As life's seasons change, God uses regeneration and newness as a necessary stage for things that we would consider only to be headed for certain death.Jesus said: "unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds." He stated further: "The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life."

The Power in Poise
2007-07-05 14:59:00 A popular comedian recently demonstrated a profound lesson with an irreverently-relatable series of skits entitled “When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong.” In those skits, the main character encounters what appear to be unfair scenarios and – rather than addressing them with restraint – responds with forceful acts of retribution that give rise to permanently-damaging consequences against that character.In the heat of battle, God's people can often experience a wide range of emotions that are out of character in their normal lives. As complex packages of spirit, soul and body, we occasionally encounter adversity at levels that challenge our normally-peaceable framework.The scriptures consistently warn believers about the role of tribulation in our lives. By their very nature, spiritual attacks are vicious and calculated to bring calamity and disgrace to God's people.Our conditioned response from the general society is to respond to hatefulness with comparable force.

Lenten Renewal for the New Millennium
2007-07-01 09:33:00 The subject of Lent may be puzzling to many Christians of the current era. While some perceive Lenten and Advent seasons as an unwelcome intrusion of pre-Reformation ideals and practices, others through reexamining these seasons have gained a renewed appreciation for the scriptures' core teachings.Commentator Ken Collins (no relation) notes that a common reluctance among certain Protestant groups to observe Lent may be based on a mistaken concern that this season has a Roman Catholic origin. He explains that Lent predates Roman Catholic practice, and is instead traceable to the Eastern Orthodox and Apostolic communities.The Gospel of Matthew's Chapter 16 focuses upon self-denial, highlighting a shift in Jesus' ministry from teaching parables to the people, toward a focus on His ultimate confrontation with religious authorities in Jerusalem. In that chapter, Jesus strongly connects self-denial with authentic discipleship.While roughly estimating this time period as a forty-day per... More About: Renewal

THE VALUE AND WISDOM OF FRIENDSHIP
2007-06-24 20:06:00 We begin learning friendship's lessons even when we are small children. We start out expecting that most other kids will accept us as friends with no questions asked. At one point, we begin to discover that people make friends based around shared likes and dislikes. Eventually, we may find that friendship not only has benefits, but also has demands, each as a result of being loyal to another person.We are told all our lives that it is more blessed to give than to receive, although some of us might admit that our instinct to receive seems to be stronger than our desire to give. But friendship teaches us vividly that there will be very little for us to receive if we have not given to those whom we care about. Friendship is spiritual truth put into action, teaching that giving is its own enduring reward. Proverbs 17:17 explains: A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.Most of us have seen this statement in action. We can move to different cities, change j...

So What’s On Your List?
2007-06-16 16:39:00 There is nothing like the holiday season. This time of the year, we often draw our attention to things that we’ve put off for months at a time. The malls become full of last-minute shoppers, charities receive a surge of donations, families make eleventh-hour travel plans, and even our life plans receive an overhaul.The change in a calendar year reminds us of our need to match reality with the promises we make and the dreams that we hold dear. But as our reality becomes increasingly dissimilar to our promises and dreams, many of us may be tempted toward discouragement or depression. Although many of us have been taught the “true meaning of Christmas,” we may still have a difficult time in recognizing exactly what we need to do to bridge the gap between unfulfilled dreams and promises, and the cold, hard facts of our lives.Christmas means that God has a plan to reconcile us unto Himself and is willing at all costs to intervene on all of our behalf.

How Not To Be Cornered
2007-06-10 03:08:00 One of the remarkable stories about Jesus is how during His earthly ministry He was able to evade capture by those who hated Him. At various times, we read that the Pharisees and others had planned ways not only to discredit Jesus, but also to have Him put to death. But at each time, forces that Jesus' enemies could not control brought their plans to naught, whether due to a risk of alienating the masses, or simply an inability to isolate Jesus into a locale where they could apprehend Him. Until Jesus considered it time to lay down His life, His enemies had no viable opportunity to carry out their vicious schemes.Even in hindsight, we could exhaust all our analytical resources and still fall short of any rational explanation for how someone with as public a ministry as Jesus - thrusting Himself into the midst of the masses - might be so difficult to rein in. Even an otherworldly assertion that Jesus was too powerful and too transcendent to be caught might still be inadequate in rev...

Tis The Season
2007-06-02 00:36:00 Feeling jolly? Do you find yourself speaking words like fa-la-la-la-la?If you're like most people, then the answer is probably no. In fact, during the holiday season, it may be more likely that you will have other more troubling emotions.According to Mental Health America (formerly known as the National Mental Health Association), it is not unusual for people at this time of the year to experience "self-evaluation, loneliness, reflection of past failures and anxiety about an uncertain future."While western cultures emphasize upbeat celebrations during the holiday season, that emphasis often includes a strong materialistic influence that can be most discouraging to persons whose financial resources are being strained. Likewise, the season's focus on renewed connections with family and friends can be quite frustrating for individuals whose life circumstances include estranged relationships or diminished numbers of family members.During this time of year, the commercial world tends t...

Help Is On The Way
2007-06-02 00:19:00 Imagine yourself needing a miracle. Our lives can take some unexpected turns. Normally, everything can seem to be in order as we victoriously proceed from challenge to challenge, applying wisdom and a healthy dose of faith to our everyday circumstances. Although no one reasonably expects a trouble-free life, many problems seem quickly to disappear after we make one correction or another. But in an instant, things in our lives can change to a degree that nothing seems to work. At certain times, neither the king’s horses nor the king’s men can seem to be able to get our fragile lives back to normal. The shock of life’s unexpected disruptions can later give way to anxiety and despair when trouble is unwilling to loose its hold on our lives.What about prayer? God’s people are taught that prayer changes things. What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!Even when we are at fault in our disruptions, we are taught to confess our sin, to ask for what we need, to believe G... |
