Used Car Salesman

Sorry to those of you who are hanging on my every word here (all two of you), I haven't had time to blog lately. I had an amazing trip to California to visit RockHarbor church. Check it out on the web if you get time. I'll share more about the trip another time.

My wife and I are in the unenviable process of buying a vehicle. Its a big deal for me because change is difficult. I have a 20 year old SUV that I will never get rid of. Eventually I'll take it off the road and use it around the house and make a planter or something out of it when it finally dies. God gave me that truck and its still good to me. Even though I don't really care for our 12 year old car, its easier to put up with it than to venture onto the car lot and deal with the used car sales people. I have a difficult time with people I know are not telling me the whole truth. I would never make it in the business because I would be honest and tell the customer what would be the best deal for them and mean it. I went in, we drove the vehicle, and then I told then realistically what we could afford. I guess they didn't believe me because they offered me $70 more a month than what I told them. I guess they have never dealt with a real man of integrity before. For the next hour I kept telling him the same thing. Well, at least my kids got balloons out of it. I have to admit, I dragged them along so they would get cranky if we were there too long and it would give me an excuse to leave. They were perfectly behaved until I finally left and they kept asking me if we were taking the nice new car home. Go figure. If your reading this Mr. Sales guy, you know my price. Genesis 12:3 says I will bless those who bless you, so here is your chance to get a big blessing.

I'm so glad when we come to the Lord, He is absolutely honest and perfectly just. I can lay at His feet and open my heart to Him, and He pours out His love to me. I love you Oh Lord my refuge and my strength!

Thoughts on Easter

Easter is always a good time for reflection and examination. The thought of what Jesus Christ has done for me is overwhelming and brings me ultimately to the foot of the cross. What more can be done in the face of such holiness and great sacrifice? All I can do is lay my life down there as well, surrender myself, my life, all I have, and all I am or ever will be. There can be no fruitfulness or fulfillment of our purpose until we lay our life down unto death. We spend so much time striving, building ministries, making better plans, and working harder. We don’t see that from Jesus. In his essay In Him and Over Him: The Holy Spirit in the Life of Jesus John O’Donnell says Jesus had to accept the failure of His human mission. He says “Jesus who came in the power of the Spirit to proclaim the Good News had to accept that because of the hardness of hearts of His people the kingdom could only come through the cross. And so Jesus goes to His death, tested to the utterness of His obedience,

More on Erasing Hell

I can defintely relate to this quote by Francis Chan from his book Erasing Hell . This is such a difficult topic and it's easier to just not think about it and move on.  I believe we are entering a season when God's people will feel an urgency to step up and speak the truth in a loving and firm way. Don't speak out of ignorance or your own thoughts. Know the Word . We are all surrounded by opportunities to learn the Word and allow it to transform our lives. There is no excuse for not knowing. Speak out of that transformation. Let the Holy Spirit speak for you. Know Christ deeply and allow Him to take control of your life fully. "What causes my heart to ache right now as I’m writing this is that my life shows little evidence that I actually believe this. Every time my thoughts wander to the future of unbelievers, I quickly brush them aside so they don’t ruin my day. But there is a reality here that I can’t ignore. Even as the conversations of people around me fill my

Obeying God's Voice

Image source The Bible makes no distinction between hearing and obeying God's voice. Hearing Him is the first step, but hearing requires us to obey. The writer of Hebrews warns us to not harden our hearts if today we hear God's voice (Heb. 3:15). There is no rest or peace in disobedience to His voice. When we harden our hearts to His voice, we reject the life that He is offering. I like to think of these times of obedience as continual alignment of my life with God's Word. As the Holy Spirit speaks we obey by yielding our will to His. Obedience brings transformation which makes us more and more like Christ. Doesn't a student who continues to yield themselves to the process of learning soon experiences changes in their thinking and behavior as a result? So a disciple (a learner) becomes more and more like the Master as they yield to His teaching. God's Word and His voice cannot be separated. God's voice, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the Biblical messag

Intervention

I saw this picture on msnbc  today which was linking to a news video concerning Pakistanis who are desperate for aid.  My heart breaks for kids like this all over the world who go hungry every day.  I've fed hungry people in India, and its overwhelming to see people desperately grabbing for a bread roll and a small banana.  I want to see the church of Jesus Christ rise up and take the authority given to us by Jesus Christ and intervene in these situations.  We are not on this earth to make it a better place, but to share the good news of Jesus.  When people know Him, we will see better living conditions where all people are loved and treated with respect and dignity.  We can end hunger and poverty and poor drinking water conditions.  My good friend and warrior in the kingdom Suresh Kumar likes to quote William Booth "Give them soup, soap, and salvation".
