AM - Foundation, Foundation, Foundation, Philip Baus
PM - Outsmarting Your Smart T.V., Jeremiah Holloway
Out With Pout Aubrey Johnson
T he solution to strained relationships is not lin-gering on the past (pouting) or litigating your case against others (prosecuting). The answer
is to send some love their way. Instead of retreating, run to meet them. Rather than retaliating, do them a kindness. In other words, the way forward is to be-come more like God who is not peevish but faithful (Lamentations 3.22-23). God is not easily offended and vindictive. He is not crabby or cross. His steadfast love never ceases. His mercies never come to an end. No matter what happened yesterday, His love and mercy are new every morning. His faithfulness is great beyond comprehension.
When the Lord passed before Moses, He proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithful-ness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin.” (Exodus 34:6-7a). His nature has not changed over the years. Thousands of years later, Paul wrote, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). Since God is merci-ful and forgiving, those who love Him and follow Him desire to make these traits their own. Give up your grudges today, and begin enjoying a holier and happier life.
Send some love their way!
Ministry Minutes Brian Boyett
New Preacher, Jimmy England
A s we begin to identify attributes that we want in someone we hire as a new preacher, I don’t want us to forget God’s opinion. One of the things I try to do daily is set aside my will, and let God’s will prevail. I pray that we seek out
God’s will for this process. I’m reminded of characteristics identified in 1 Cor. 12, 13 and 14 and how some had forgotten God’s will and needed to be reminded by Paul. These cannot be overlooked, but what I’m drawn to is when Jesus was about to face the cross. Dreading the suffering, He spoke to His Father and prayed for what He want-ed for His people (you and I). Jesus, who gave it all, wanted something for us.
In John 17:20-24, Jesus wants us to believe that He was who He said He was. Jesus wants us to believe the Bible to be God’s word. Jesus wants us to be one, as much so as Jesus was one with His Father. Je-sus wants us to be one with Him in glorifying God. Jesus wants us to be complete before God because of Him. Then Jesus makes emphasis, saying “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may be-hold My glory which You have given Me.” Jesus really wants us to belong and be with Him.
I want a preacher that helps us see and believe every day what Jesus wants for us. I want a preacher that longs for Jesus, just as we do. I want a preacher who prays for me, as I pray for him. I want a preacher, who not being perfect, strives to live each day in a way that shows Christ. I want a preacher that has a heart which yearns for Christ and can show God’s love through His word just as you and I do.
H ow do you define yourself?
Take a look at this picture. What do you see? Do you see a black vase or two profiles of a man’s face?
This is an example of Rubin’s vase. It’s a reversible image in which the viewer determines what is the positive or negative image. What’s interesting to me is that if you’re drawing a Rubin vase, you need to decide which image you’re going to draw: the vase, or the profiles of the men’s’ faces. You run into problems when your goal is to end up with a vase by drawing the two faces. In other words, it’s difficult to end up with an exact positive image by trying to draw the negative space around it.
Think about how we describe ourselves when speaking with others. Have you ever considered that we sometimes spend more time defining ourselves by what we’re not than what we are? Have you ever been in a conversation and found that you’re spending more time telling another person (or hearing them tell you) more about the things they don’t do than what they actually do? Defining ourselves by what we’re not isn’t always bad; it’s not bad in and of itself to tell someone you’re not an adulterer, extortioner, or an unjust person. But remember, that this is the same thing the Pharisee said when compar-ing himself to the tax collector (Luke 18:9-14). And that’s the point: he thought more highly of himself based upon what he wasn’t rather than humbly stating what he was (as the tax collector did). As each of us go about our daily lives we set an ex-ample for those around us. If your goal is to define yourself as a Christian, fill your life with what a Christian is, rather than trying to justify yourself by what you are not.
