Better and Faster Than Fiber Optic

Living out in the country has many benefits. I am a country boy at heart and in the flesh. I love not having my backyard joined to another. A big disadvantage since the dawn of high-speed internet is living out in the sticks. Our internet has been painfully slow. Hope is on the way, in about six weeks or so, gigabytes will arrive. We have fiber optic internet coming soon. WooHoo!

Some of the line workers have been in our area. Salesmen have been knocking on our doors and we have been saying, “Where can we sign!”

One of the line splicers was working in my yard today. Nice guy! Being the old man with a thousand questions, I was hindering his work like ole men tend to do. He showed me the single strain of the fiber optic. It is amazing the information and signals that can travel that little glass-like, hair-thin wire.

Wars and Rumors of War

Wars are troubling and the rumors of war strike fear in the hearts of reasonable men. Jesus told four of his disciples as He sat on the Mount of Olives a few days before His crucifixion, “But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet” (Mark 13:7 NKJV).

In our broken and fallen world, war is easily predictable. Something was up when one of the first brothers, Cain, killed his brother Abel. The history of the world is more punctuated with wars as a long sentence is filled with commas.

Tell It To Your Children

One of the most powerful commandments in the Old Testament is the Shema in Deuteronomy 6:4-9. The Lord commanded the children of Israel to love God with all their being. They were to tell it to their children in the morning, at night, and as they went about their day.

Who Am I and Who Are You?

God met with Moses at the burning bush on the backside of the desert. He told Moses about his assignment. Moses was not so sure if he was up to the task. I am sure he was not the last man to have questions concerning his qualifications.

Moses’ first question was, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” (Exod. 3:11 NKJV). He wasn’t necessarily questioning God’s wisdom but questioning his own capabilities. It sounded like an impossible task. One desert shepherd confronting the most powerful leader in the world sounded more like a death-wish than a career change.

When God calls a person to such a task, the “who me?” question is a good test of humility. In the kingdom of God, those who think they are the perfect choice is a disqualifying attitude. If an assignment can be done with only a person’s talents, then it is not a kingdom job.

God assured him, “I will certainly be with you” (Exod. 3:12). That is the main thing we need to know. The great African missionary, David Livingstone prayed this, “God, send me anywhere, only go with me. Lay any burden on me, only sustain me. And sever any tie in my heart except the tie that binds my heart to Yours.”

Then Moses needed information about God when the people asked, “What is His name?” Even though the God of the Israelites was often known as the God of Abraham, the God of Issac, and the God of Jacob; the people had lived four hundred years in a land of many ‘gods’. “Who are You?”

God answered, “I AM WHO I AM.” A rough definition of this is The Self-Existent One. He is the Eternal One who has always existed and all that exists comes from Him. He is the Supreme One over all other entities whether in Heaven above, on the earth, or under the earth. The-Number-One is above all powers, principalities, and dominions. All are beneath Him. He has no rivals. When we go in the name of the Lord, the demonic horde sees the One who is with us! That ought to make someone shout!!

Back to the two big questions. “Who am I?” And to the Lord, “Who Are You?”
We are who He says we are. We can do what He has called us to do. He is the Great I Am. There is no one like Him in all universes that are out there. With Him, there are no limitations. He is boundless. He is All-Powerful. He is Ever-Present. He is All-Knowing. He is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

All you need to know in life is who you are in Jesus. Who is the One you make both Lord and Savior of your life. Now go! Fear not, He is with you.

Yours on the Journey,

Focusing on Your Priorities in the New Year

We have flipped our calendars not only to a new month but to a new year. I have never been a big New Year’s resolution person. I do like to take the New Year as a time of evaluation. I like to see what I can do better. Some things I just need to drop. Then there are some things I need to start.

Jesus: Born a Man for Men

The world lay in the sway of darkness, sin, and death. Man’s journey from the Garden was marked by a trail of death and tears. Each tomb was a reminder of every man’s fate. Death reigned in the world by a cruel master, Satan, whose very name meant “Adversary”. The Hebrew prophets of old had prophesied approximately seven centuries before of a coming Messiah who would save and deliver.

Thankfulness is the Remedy for Pride

How do we respond when good things come our way? We tend to pat ourselves on the back and gloat just a little bit. Pride begins to rise like the morning sun.

I’m not sure when it happened. The notion hit me one day to be thankful when the gloat bubble was floating to the surface. It’s not that hard. When pride begins to rise, capture that thought, and give Jesus thanks for the happening. It takes the emphasis from us and puts it rightly upon the Lord.

Four Pillars of Discipleship

We often complicate things too much. Lofty philosophical and theological ideas often leave no footprints in the dirt.

After trusting Christ as our Savior and Lord, what do we do to mature in our faith? Here are four basic points everyone needs to do consistently.

Good Intentions

I remember in the late 1990’s having good intentions about door-to-door visitation. I, along with some fellow ministry workers, knocked on every door of a nearby city’s government housing projects. We had good intentions but nothing tangible resulted from it. Maybe one person visited our church but no new converts. I know we encouraged a few people, but we never saw a harvest of our efforts.

I learned that building relationships is more effective than cold-calling.

Churches and mission organizations are full of good intentions. We have to be honest and ask ourselves the question. Are our good intentions bearing fruit or do they just make us feel better about ourselves? We often learn by trial and error.

From Darkness to Light

Jesus gave an analogy between natural vision and spiritual vision. “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!” (Matt. 6:22-23 NKJV).

Spiritual light enters our lives to bring vision. If our spiritual eyes are good, we will be filled with light (vision). If our spiritual eyes are not good, then we remain in darkness.
