February 19, 2010 - JUNK

Let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
(Hebrews 10.22)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A pastor in Winston-Salem, N.C., was teaching a membership class and explaining how some churches baptize by immersion and others by sprinkling. "Does anyone know how the Quakers baptize?" he asked the class. A young man responded, "Oats?"

Thankfully all Christians use water, not oats, but today we celebrate the washing away of all the junk that covers people and keeps us from being what God has created each of us to be.

Only one person who ever lived escaped being covered with this junk and that was Jesus. Still, he came to be baptized by John. The Jews already practiced baptism before John the Baptist, but their baptism had little to do with repentance and confession of sins. Among the Jews, clothing, utensils, and even articles of furniture were ceremonially cleansed.

The Feast of Weeks was a time when many believers from surrounding areas came to the Temple for the blessing of the "first bread made from the new harvest of spring grain." It was a perfect time for many people to witness Jesus' ministry and hear his message.

May we all be cleaned of our junk and ready to hear Jesus’ message.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dear God, clean me today of all the junk I have collected. Amen.

February 17, 2010 - FRESH INSIGHTS

Developing Your Creativity     

Wise men and women are always learning, always listening for fresh insights.        (Proverbs 18:15)

Over the years, I've noticed when people are stuck in life, it's usually because they're still working off a set of assumptions that no longer  apply.  Or they're using problem solving techniques that once worked, but  don't work anymore.

God wants us to always be learning, "always listening for fresh insights."  (Proverbs 18:15)

Contrary to popular belief, there is nothing mysterious about being creative. The basic principle of creativity is simply combining two or  more known ideas in a new way to create a fresh idea.  This is a skill you can develop and it starts with awareness:                                   

Here are the five steps I use in the creative process:                     
1. State the problem clearly. What is wrong? Be as precise as you can.  Vague problems are more difficult to solve.                           
2. Set a specific goal. What is it that you really want to accomplish?
3. Generate as many ideas as possible. The more ideas you have, the better. Force yourself to list at least 5 options. Brainstorm. Have fun. Use your intuition. Ask a lot of questions.
4. Narrow the list to the one best idea. One new idea is all you need to get unstuck.
5. Take action! Do it now. God has given you fresh insight, now act on it!

You must always be developing and growing and becoming what God wants you to be. Learning to be a leader takes a lifetime.                                                                             
                                                                           

February 15, 2010 - CONFORMED


And it is by God’s will that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. (Hebrews 10.10)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When an athlete comes off the field and says, "God gave us the victory tonight," we hope he or she is saying, "I thank God who gave me a good body so I can play at my best; I thank God for my good mind that allowed me to play alert and with awareness; I thank God for giving me the hunger to always be at my best." If that is what the athlete is saying, then I want to say, "You are absolutely right. Thank God for all God's good gifts."

But if that athlete is saying God literally guided the football through the uprights for the winning field goal so that one team would win and the other lose, that man has a lot to learn about life and about God.

God is not our personal weather expert, football strategist, romance matchmaker, or rectifier of our past mistakes. God is God. God is our Sovereign, not our servant. It is we who are to bring our actions into conformance with God's will, not God who is to bring God's actions into conformance with our will. It is very human when something is very important to us to assume it is also very important to God like making sure our team wins.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dear Jesus, may my will be conformed to yours. Amen.

February 12, 2010 - BEST SEAT

Then Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people. (Luke 5.10)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When we read the Gospels, we discover that the disciples found the best seat in the house by choosing to accept the challenge of Jesus to invest their lives in others. Remember how Jesus came into the marketplace at the docks? There he found some commercial fishermen. He asked them to allow him to use one of their boats as a teaching platform.

After he finished teaching the people, he gave them an invitation: "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men." He was asking them to give up their seats in their fishing boats for something better, something more lasting, to invest their lives in others. (Luke 5:1-13).

Will you accept the invitation?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dear God, show me the way to the best seat that you have reserved for me. Amen.

ha ha ha. Kuan man gud, sab, i am a soothe type of guy. If maka meet ka nako, you will see that I am very calm, easy going. Mo tan aw jyud ko sa mata sa babae, so maka blush pood sila lagil he he he.

It is fun to date 3 women at the same time, pero, sometimes it gets too much because you have to plan everything out and schedule everything so that no one coincides with one another. One time, i had a personal experience, where i took one girl to a wine bar, and lo and behold, the woman who i was also dating was there that night. 'twas an interesting experience. Maka libog pood lagi kai sometimes, you have to force yourself not to get emotionally involved. I did this only to experience how it was like to date more than one woman. Since at the time, I was only 21, i wanted to see if i could do it and survive the emotional challenge.

To my surprise, i did. I did not fall in love with any of them. But two of them did. One wanted to take me back and introduce me to her parents. as she thought we were both in a relationship. When i told her that i did not want to be in a relationship with her, and that i was only dating her, and not looking for a longterm relationship with her, she was devastated.

But i told her in the beginning that i did not want to be in long term relationship with her. That it was temporal. I told her that i did not want her getting emotionally attached. I even asked her if she could handle it. She did say yes. But in the end, she did get emotionally attached.

I broke it with her. She was devastated. I felt bad. But i could not force myself to develop romantic feelings when it was not there. She is now a 2nd year law student in Pittsburgh University School of Law.

To this day, she still sends me letters.

Ah, unrequited love.

February 11, 2010 - FORGIVE

For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. (Matthew 6.14)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The person who knows he or she has been redeemed by the generosity of God is able to be generous toward others.

Jesus told a parable about a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. A servant who owed the king about a million dollars was brought to him. Since the servant was not able to repay such a vast sum, the master ordered that the servant and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt. The servant fell on his knees before his master. "Be patient with me," he begged, "and I will pay back everything."

The servant's master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go. But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants. This second fellow owed HIM about a hundred dollars. He grabbed his fellow servant and began to choke him. "Pay back what you owe me!" he demanded. His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, "Be patient with me, and I will pay you back." But he refused. Instead, he had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt.

When the other servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened. Then the master called the servant in. "You wicked servant," he said, "I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?" And the answer, of course, is yes. He should forgive as he had been forgiven. And that is where you and I are today. "Heaven," as Mark Twain said, "goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out, and your dog would go in."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Lord Jesus, may I forgive as you have forgiven me. Thanks for your blessing. Amen.

February 10, 2010 - HABITS AND CHARACTER


Your Habits Define Your Character

Practice these things. Devote your life to them so that everyone can see your progress. 1 Timothy 4:15

While you were given a brand new nature at the moment of conversion, you still have old habits, patterns, and practices that need to be removed and replaced.

Let go of the fears that keep you from growing -- The truth will set us free but it often makes us miserable first. The fear of what we might discover if we honestly faced our character defects keeps us living in the prison of denial. Only as God is allowed to shine the light of his truth on our faults, failures, and hang-ups can we begin to work on them. This is why you cannot grow without a humble, teachable attitude.

Stop basing your identity around your 'defects' -- We say, "It's just like me to be ..." and "It's just the way I am." The unconscious worry is that  if I let go of my habit, my hurt, or my hang-up, who will I be? This fear can definitely slow down your growth.                                                                         

As I wrote recently, good habits take time to develop. Remember that your character is the sum total of your habits. You can't claim to be kind unless you are habitually kind you show kindness without even thinking about it. You can't claim to have integrity unless it is your habit to always be honest. A husband who is faithful to his wife most of the time   
is not faithful at all! Your habits define your character.   

There is only one way to develop the habits of Christlike character: You must practice them and that takes time! There are no instant habits. Paul urged Timothy, "Practice these things. Devote your life to them so that everyone can see your progress." (1 Timothy 4:15)   

February 9, 2010 - SELF CONTROL

Developing Biblical Self-Control

A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.     Proverbs 25:28

People with self-control master their moods. They do not let their moods master them. Most of what gets done in the world is accomplished by people who do the right thing even when they don't feel like it: "A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls." (Proverbs 25:28)

People with self-control watch their words. They put their minds in gear before opening their mouths: "Be careful with what you say and protect your life. A careless talker destroys himself." (Proverbs 13:3)

People with self-control restrain their reactions. How much can you take before you lose your cool? "If you are sensible, you will control your temper. When someone wrongs you, it is a great virtue to ignore it."   (Proverbs 19:11)

People with self-control stick to their schedule. If you don't determine how you will spend your time, then others will decide for you: "Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil." (Ephesians 5:15-16)

People with self-control manage their money. They learn to live on less than what they make and they invest the difference. The value of a budget  is that it tells your money where you want it to go rather than wondering where it went!   "In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has." (Proverbs 21:20)

People with self-control maintain their health. That way they can accomplish more and enjoy their achievements: "Learn to appreciate and give dignity to your body ...." (1 Thessalonians 4:4)
                                   
In what areas do you need to develop for self-control? The disciplines you establish today will determine your success tomorrow.

But it takes more than just willpower for lasting self-control. It takes a power greater than yourself: "For the Spirit that God has given us does not make us timid; instead, his Spirit fills us with power, love, and self-control." (2 Timothy 1:7)

nakat-on og buhakhak to show everybody that im happy and still whole even though broken inside and almost dying 

February 8, 2010 - THANK YOU

DEAR GOD:

I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears ; I am thanking you right now..
I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves; I am thanking you right now.
I am not going to wait until the children are asleep and the house is quiet; I am thanking you right now.
I am not going to wait until I get promoted at work or until I get the job; I am thanking you right now.

I am thanking you because I have the ability and the opportunity to do more and do better.

February 5, 2010 - WILL - ALL - NEED

God's Financial Provision - Ask Him for Help                                 

You can be sure that God will take care of everything you need, his generosity exceeding even yours in the glory that pours from Jesus.   Philippians 4:19

There is an amazing, incredible and all-encompassing promise in Philippians 4:19 regarding provision: "... God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."                   

Note the first two words: "God will ...." It doesn't say, "He might meet your needs," it says, "He will meet your needs." It's written as a fact;   God is staking his character and his reputation on it.                     

Then the Bible says, "God will meet all. ..." It doesn't say, "I'll meet some of your needs." It says all.                                           

Now, understand that it doesn't say, "I'll meet all your greeds." There's  a big difference between needs and wants. As a parent, do you give your kids everything they want? I hope you don't. You don't do that because you love them. And your heavenly Father loves you. He's not going to give you everything you want because if he did, you'd be spoiled to death.         

He won't give us everything we want, but he will give us what we need. Then why do you have financial needs? Did God fail? Did he lie? Exaggerate?

No! With every promise, there is a premise; there are conditions and requirements. When God makes a promise, he says, "I'll do my part and you do your part." God's wisdom, his financial principles are clearly laid out for us in his Word. Although the Bible discusses many aspects of financial health, including principles of saving, spending, giving, investing and stewardship, over the next few days we're going to look at five specific conditions for financial stability.

First, ask for his help - Jesus says, "Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy." (John 16:24)  Here's a good   rule: Before you pay for it, pray for it. Give God a chance to provide before you go out and charge it. You probably depend more on your charge card than you do Jesus Christ.                                             

Why does God want me to ask? So he can give.   
Why does he want to give? So I can receive.
Why does he want me to receive? So I'll be full of joy.
Why does he want me to be full of joy? It's a great advertisement for Jesus Christ. Joyful Christians are a positive testimony

February 4, 2010 - TRUST IN THE LORD

TRUST IN THE LORD, AND DO GOOD; DWELL IN THE LAND, AND FEED ON HIS FAITHFULNESS.  ( PSALM 37:3)

When you find yourself faced with a problem, place it in God's capable hands by asking Him in prayer to handle it for you!  Then, whatever you do, try not to hold on to a little corner of it and pull it back again.  For when you put your trust in God, He will lead your way!  After all are we to; LIVE BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT anyway.  ( 2 CORINTHIANS 5:7 )

Remember that our Savior Jesus Christ said; "DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED.  TRUST IN GOD;  TRUST ALSO IN ME."  ( JOHN 14:1 )  So, TRUST IN HIM AT ALL TIMES, O PEOPLE; POUR OUT YOUR HEARTS TO  HIM, FOR GOD IS OUR REFUGE. ( PSALM 62:8 ) 

Therefore, always put all your: TRUST IN HIM AT ALL TIMES, (PSALM 62: for it is also written;  BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO MAKES THE  LORD HIS  TRUST.  ( PSALM 40:4 )

NOW TO HIM WHO IS ABLE TO DO IMMEASURABLY MORE THAN WE ASK OR IMAGINE, ACCORDING TO THE  POWER THAT IS AT WORK WITHIN US, TO HIM BE GLORY IN THE CHURCH AND IN JESUS CHRIST THROUGHOUT ALL GENERATIONS, FOR EVER AND EVER!  AMEN.  ( EPHESIANS 3:20-21 )

February 3, 2010 - BE HONEST WITH YOUR FINANCES

God's Provision: Maintain Integrity

God cares about honesty in the workplace; your business is his business. Proverbs 16:11

God promises to meet all your financial needs, if you (1) ask him for help; (2) learn to be content; (3) practice giving in faith; and (4)  maintain your integrity --                                                 

God doesn't bless dishonesty. Proverbs 16:11 says, "The Lord demands fairness in every business deal." That includes wages, sales and taxes.   

If you want God's blessing on your finances, you've got to be honest. You  can't rip people off. Profit made dishonestly always brings trouble.   Always.

"The blessing of the Lord brings wealth and he adds no trouble to it."     (Proverbs 10:22)  Have you ever known anybody who made money, and it just brought trouble? You will always reap what you sow. If you are dishonest with others, it will be returned to you. If you think you haven't been caught, understand that the clock is still ticking. You cannot mock God and get away with it.

Be honest. Be honest with your finances: "It is the Lord's blessing that makes you wealthy." (Proverbs 10:22)     

February 2, 2010 - WHAT IF GOD...

Si Lord talaga alam kung kelan tayo babatukan...

Hello! "...busy ka? naku mukha nga... tagal na natin di nagkikita... tagal mo na ako di dinadalaw... alam mo miss na kita...  O sino yang nagtext sa iyo?... buti pa sa kanya nakapagreply ka agad... napansin ko ang dami mong ginagawa talaga... ang dami mo ring things to do diyan sa planner mo ah!

* mapangarap ka talaga noh?... ang dami mong plano** ... nakakatuwa naman na malaman yan. kasama ba ako sa  plano mo?  ano? naku di ka agad makasagot... sige okay lang... alam ko naman kung ano talaga sagot mo...*

nakita kita nung Friday, aga mo umalis sa office. alam mo ba, ang akala ko pupuntahan mo ako. ooppss! hindi pala! TGIF (THANK God its Friday) pala kayo ng mga friends mo.
umaga ka na nakauwi ah? naghintay ako sa'yo... pagpasok mo sa kuwarto mo, di mo ako napansin... haaay! kawawa ka naman, siguradong kinabukasan masakit ang ulo mo,
tanghali ka na gigising... Ang dami mong lakad, naghihintay ako na tayo naman ang maging magkasama kaya lang sa dami ng schedules mo sa trabaho at sa labas ng office, parang malabo.

O sige na, balik ka na sa work mo... i might be eating too much of your time... maging dahilan pa ako para masira ang planomo sa araw na ito... gusto ko lang sabihin sa'yo na nandito lang ako kapag kailangan mo ako...pag hindi ka na busy... totoo yon! walang biro!  ayaw mong maniwala? Ganon kasi kita kamahal! ayaw mo pa ring maniwala?

Haaay! remember this, kahit singit lang ako lagi sa buhay mo, kahit biglaan mo lang na natatawag ako dahil nagulat ka, nasaktan ka, nauntog ka o dahil part ang pangalan ko nung binabasa mo sa text, you will be in my heart always... trial after trial isipin mo kasama mo ako na lumalakad, hindi man sa buhangin, kasama mo pa rin ako... sa lahat ng plano mo, kahit hindi mo ako kasama perfecting it... para mas maging masaya ka... minsan tayo naman ang mag-usap ha? minsan ako naman ang dalawin mo...  miss na talaga kita eh...

sa akin hindi ka singit lang..." God


I KNOW YOU WILL RESPOND!

What if God couldn't take the time to bless us today because we couldn't take the time to thank Him yesterday?
What if God decided to stop leading us tomorrow because we didn't follow Him today?
What if we never saw another flower bloom because we grumbled when God sent the Rain?
What if God didn't walk with us today because we failed to recognize it as His day?
What if God took away the Bible tomorrow because we would not read it today?
What if God took away His message because we failed to listen to the messenger?

THINK ABOUT THIS ONE........

What if God didn't send His only begotten Son because He wanted us to be prepared to pay the price for sin.
What if the door of the church was closed because we did not open the door of our heart?
What if God stopped loving and caring for us because we failed to love and care for others?
What if God would not hear us today because we would not listen to Him?
What if God answered our prayers the way we answer His call to service?
What if God met our needs the way we give Him our lives???

February1, 2010 - FAITHFUL GIVING

God's Provision: Faithful Giving                                           

Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Proverbs 3:9

God promises to meet all your financial needs, if you (1) ask him for help; (2) learn to be content; and (3) practice giving in faith --

There is a universal law called the principle of sowing and reaping. If I  sow criticism, I'm going to reap criticism. If I sow generosity, it's going to come back to me, and I'm going to reap generosity.

Every farmer knows this. A farmer has four sacks of seed in his barn and he looks at his empty field. He doesn't complain, "There's no crop! I wish there was a crop!" He just goes out and starts planting seed. When you have a need, plant a seed.                                                 

It seems illogical that when I have a need, I should give. That's why it  requires faith. God says, "My ways are not your ways."                     

Why did God set it up that way? Because God is a giver. He is the most generous giver in the universe, and God wants you to learn to be like him. He wants to build character in you.                                       

The Bible says, "Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce." (Proverbs 3:9).  This is the principle of tithing. It's the principle that says every time I make $100 -- the first  $10 goes back to God.   

Tithing is an act of worship. We're giving to God. We're saying, "All of  it came from you anyway." God says, "Put me first in your life and watch what I do." You may think you can't afford to tithe, but the reality is,  you can't afford not to.

January 29, 2010 -  CONTENTMENT

God's Provision: Contentment                                               

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 1 Timothy 6:6-7                                                                               
                                                                           
God promises to meet all your financial needs, if you (1) ask him for help and (2) learn to be content --

If you've ever seen a baby born, you know they don't come into the world with a whole lot. They're not holding onto cigars, cars and a stock portfolio. They don't come into the world with anything but a little umbilical cord and that quickly gets cut.

And then, at your funeral, you don't take anything with you. The Bible teaches that we should learn to be content.

What is contentment? Contentment means my happiness is not dependent upon circumstances. Most people get caught into "when" thinking: "When I get a  certain job ... When I can retire ... When I get the house paid off ...    When I get the bills paid off ... then I'll be happy!"
                                                                           
God says, "No, once you get there, you'll always want something else." If  you don't learn contentment, you'll never be happy. You'll always want more.

"Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can't take anything with us when we leave it. So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content." (1 Timothy 6:6-8)

Tomorrow we'll look at faithful giving, another condition for answered prayer.

January 28, 2010 - TRAP

It is a trap for a man to dedicate something rashly and only later to consider his vows. Proverbs 20:25 (NIV)                           
                                                                           
Have you ever ...                                                         
... promised to deliver by a set date and later regretted it?               
... volunteered for a job you had no idea would take so long?             
... agreed to a deal that looked great but wasn't?                         
... accepted an invitation you wish you hadn't?                           
                                                                           
Eventually, we all learn by experience a basic law of life: It's always easier to get in than get out! The Bible says, "It is a trap for a man to dedicate something rashly and only later to consider his vows." (Proverbs 20:25).                                                                         

There are three common commitment traps:
       The Money Trap -- It's always easier to get into debt than out of debt! It's always easier to borrow than to pay it back.
        The Partnership Trap -- It's always easier to get into a partnership, or a relationship, than to get out of one!               
        The Time Trap -- It's always easier to fill your schedule than to fulfill it! You can get so many irons in the fire that you put out the fire!
                                                                           
The solution: remember what the Bible says; don't make rash vows.

In other words, choose your commitments carefully; think before you speak;  under-promise and over-deliver. With this, you'll build a reputation as a   person of your word.

The rumor is confirmed: Villar is Gloria’s secret candidate!
9 January 2010
by Manuel Buencamino
Manny Villar is unmasked by Lito Banayo, columnist for Malaya. Banayo said Villar is Gloria’s secret candidate â€" “Her” man <http://globalbalita.com/2010/01/07/her-man/> “I thought Gibo was Gloria’s standard bearer,” I told my Palace mole. “Gibo is just a decoy. Gloria picked Villar long before she picked up Gibo,” he replied. “Read Banayo’s column, the secret meetings he wrote about are true.” “Hmmm…But what about Gordon? He’s also Gloria’s boy, isn’t he?” I asked. “Yes, that’s why he is also running.” he replied. “But what chances does he have? He has no money, no organization, nothing!” “Who said he was funding and organizing his own campaign?” “You mean someone is doing it for him?” “Aren’t you surprised that all of a sudden he has money to spend on advertising and campaign sorties?” he pressed on. “But who would be crazy enough to finance a sure loser?” I argued. “Who said he was running to win?” he retorted. “Well then why is he running at all?” “He is running as an attack dog against Aquino.” “Attacking for whom, Gloria? Villar?” “Is there a difference between Gloria and Villar?” he asked. “Yes,” I replied. “Gloria has a mole on her face and Villar does not.” “And THAT is the only thing that sets them apart!”

January 27, 2010 - SERVING FROM THE HEART

Serving from the heart

From now on if you listen obediently to the commandments that I am commanding you today, love God, your God, and serve him with everything you have within you, he'll take charge of sending the rain at the right time .... Deuteronomy 11:13-14.    Repeatedly, the Bible says to "serve the Lord with all your heart." God wants you to serve him passionately, not dutifully. People rarely excel at tasks they don't enjoy doing or feel passionate about. God wants you to use your natural interests to serve him and others.

How do you know when you're serving God from your heart?

The first telltale sign is enthusiasm. When you're doing what you love to do, no one has to motivate you, or challenge you, or check up on you. You do it for the sheer enjoyment. You don't need rewards, or applause, or to be paid, because you love serving in this way.  The opposite is also true: When you don't have a heart for what you're doing, you're easily discouraged.

One characteristic of serving God from your heart is effectiveness: whenever you do what God wired you to love to do, you get good at it. Passion drives perfection. If you don't care about a task, it is unlikely that you'll excel at it.

On the other hand, the highest achievers in any field are those who do it because of passion, not duty or profit.

We've all heard people say, "I took a job I hate in order to make a lot of money, so someday I can quit and do what I love to do." That's a big mistake. Don't waste your life in a job that doesn't express your heart.  Remember, the greatest things in life are not things. Meaning is far more important than money. The richest man in the world once said, "A simple life in the fear-of-God is better than a rich life with a ton of headaches" (Proverbs 15:16).

Don't settle for achieving "the good life," because the good life is not good enough. Ultimately, it doesn't satisfy. You can have a lot to live on, and still have nothing to live for. Aim instead for "the better life" -- serving God in a way that expresses your heart.

Figure out what you love to do -- that which God gave you a heart for -- and then do it for his glory!

January 26, 2010 - HEARTBEAT

When serving God, listen to your heart

A man's heart reflects the man. Proverbs 27:19 (NIV)

The Bible uses the term "heart" to describe the bundle of desires, hopes, interests, ambitions, dreams, and affections that you have. Your heart represents the source of all your motivations -- what you love to do and what you care about most. Even today, we still use the word in this way when we say, "I love you with all my heart."

The Bible says what is in your heart is what you really are, not what others think you are, or what circumstances force you to be (Proverbs 27:19). Your heart is the real you. It determines why you say the things you do, why you feel the way you do, and why you act the way you do.

Physically, each of us has a unique heartbeat. Just as we each have unique thumbprints, eye prints, and voiceprints, our hearts beat in slightly different patterns. It's amazing that out of all the billions of people who've ever lived, no one has ever had a heartbeat exactly like yours.

In the same way, God has given each of us a unique emotional "heartbeat" that races when we think about the subjects, activities, or circumstances that interest us. We instinctively care about some things and not about others. These are clues to where you should be serving.

Another word for heart is passion. There are certain subjects that you feel deeply passionate about and others that you couldn't care less about. Some experiences turn you on and capture your attention, while others turn you off or bore you to tears. These reveal the nature of your heart; listen for inner promptings that can point to the ministry God intends for you to have.

When you were growing up you may have discovered that you were intensely interested in some subjects that no one else in your family cared about.

Where did those interests come from? They came from God!

God had a purpose in giving you these inborn interests. Your emotional heartbeat is a key to understanding your shape for service. Don't ignore your interests; consider how they might be used for God's glory. There is a reason that you love to do these things.

Listen for inner promptings that can point to the ministry God intends for you to have.

January 25, 2010 - SERVANT


Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all. (Mark 9:35)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In our scripture reading today, the disciples and Jesus are on their way to Capernaum. During their travel, the disciples start arguing about who was the greatest. When they got to Capernaum Jesus asked them what they were arguing about. They were silent. They were embarrassed. Jesus called all the disciples together and said, "Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all."

But what is a servant? In our society today, few of us have a real appreciation of what being a servant is all about. A servant is simply one who puts others needs before their own. This is not always easy to do, as demonstrated by the disciples in our text today. But, being a servant is what we are called to do, and being a servant makes us great in the eyes of God.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dear Jesus, you are the greatest servant of all by dying for my sins. Help me to put the needs of others before my own. Amen.

January 22, 2010 - DONT COMPLAIN


And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:18)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I remember a story of George Crum. He was an Indian chief a century and a half ago. He was also a chef. One day the wealthy Cornelius Vanderbuilt came into the lodge where George Crum was the chef. Vanderbuilt ordered a new dish called French Fried Potatoes.

When it was brought out, Mr. Vanderbuilt sent it back saying it was too thick. He know how is was supposed to be prepared, because he had been to France. This happened a few times until George got so angry that he cut the Potatoes razor thin and boiled them in animal fat.

Much to his surprise, Mr. Vanderbuilt liked the American variation of French Fries, which today we call potato chips.

The thing I like about this story is that George disciplined his anger and created something good-- potato chips. This also created unity between him and Mr. Vanderbuilt.

There are certainly times when we get angry or frustrated about the church, but we should not complain about it. We should use our frustrations to make the church better and more effective in its ministry to one another and to people of our community.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Loving God, move me to not complain, but to do all I can to help your church touch peoples lives with your love. Amen.

January 21, 2010 - When The Future Seems Uncertain


"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans ... to give you a future and a hope ... You will find me when you seek me, if you look for me in earnest."  Jeremiah 29:11, 13                                                                             

No matter what the pollsters, pundits, and prognosticators claim, no one can accurately predict all that is going to happen this year, let alone in the next few weeks. Our best forecasts are just educated guesses.
                                                                           
Change is not only increasing in speed and intensity, but also in unpredictability.

The Bible suggests three timeless principles for facing an uncertain future:

•Set goals according to God's direction.  It's foolish to make plans without first consulting God.  He's the only one who DOES know the future - and he's eager to guide you through it.  The Bible says, "We may make our plans, but God has the last word."  (Proverbs 16:1)  In other words, planning without praying is presumption.  Start by praying, "God, what do YOU want me to do in 2010?"

•Live one day at a time -- While you can plan for tomorrow, you can't live  it until it arrives. Most people spend so much time regretting the past and worrying about the future, they have no time to enjoy today!   John Lennon once wrote, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."  Decide to make the most of each moment this year.  Jesus said, "Don't be anxious about tomorrow - God will take care of your tomorrows. Live one day at a time." (Matthew 6:34)

•Don't procrtatsinate - DO IT NOW! - "Don't boast about what you're going to do tomorrow, for you don't know what a day may bring forth." (Proverbs 27:1).  Procrastinating is a subtle trap.  It wastes today by postponing things until tomorrow.  You promise yourself that you'll do it "one of these days." But "one of these days" is usually none of these days." What did you plan to get done last year that you didn't do? When do you intend to start working on it?

January 20, 2010 - HUMILITY


He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way. (Psalm 25:9)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I remember a story of a Texas man who was bragging on the "bigness" of everything in Texas. He was surprised when an "Okie" stepped up and agreed with him. "Yes", said the Okie, "that's right, everything's big in Texas! Why, I once knew a Texan who was so big they couldn't find a coffin big enough to bury him in when he died. "And what did they do?" asked the surprised Texan. "Well," came the answer, "they just let the air out of him, and buried him in a shoe box!"

Being humble puts us in our place and, at times, may cause us some pain. But being humble also puts God first and helps us receive eternal life.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dear God, remind me daily of the great gift of humility. Amen.

 
January 19, 2010 - SURRENDER

Surrender: Let Go and Let God Work
                                                                           
Surrender yourself to the Lord, and wait patiently for him. Psalm 37:7
                                                                           
Surrendering your life means -                                             
Following God's lead without knowing where he's sending you; Waiting for God's timing without knowing when it will come; Expecting a miracle without knowing how God will provide;  Trusting God's purpose without understanding the circumstances.       

You know you're surrendered to God when you rely on God to work things out instead of trying to manipulate others, force your agenda, and control the situation. You let go and let God work. You don't have to always be "in charge." Instead of trying harder, you trust more.
                                                                           
You also know you're surrendered when you don't react to criticism and rush to defend yourself.

Surrendered hearts show up best in relationships. You are not self-serving, you don't edge others out, and you don't demand your rights.                                                               
                                                                           
The most difficult thing to surrender for many people is their money. Many have thought, "I want to live for God but I also want to earn enough money to live comfortably and retire someday."

Retirement is not the goal of a surrender life -- Because it competes with God for the primary attention of our lives. Jesus said, "You cannot serve both God and money," and "Wherever your treasure is, your heart will be also."                                                                     
                                                                           
The supreme example of self-surrender is Jesus. The night before his crucifixion, Jesus surrendered himself to God's plan. He prayed, "Father, everything is possible for you. Please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will, not mine."
                                                                           
Jesus didn't pray, "God, if you're able to take away this pain, please do so." He began by affirming that God can do anything! He prayed, "God, if  it is in your best interest to remove this suffering, please do so. But if  it fulfills your purpose, that's what I want, too."
                                                                           
Genuine surrender says, "Father, if this problem, pain, sickness, or  circumstance is needed to fulfill your purpose and glory in my life or in another's life, please don't take it away!"                               

This level of maturity doesn't come easy. In Jesus' case, he agonized so much over God's plan that he sweats drops of blood. Surrender is hard work. In our case, it requires intense warfare against our self-centered nature.                                                                   
                                                                           

January 14, 2010 - LONELINESS

"But the Lord stood at my side ...." 2 Timothy 4:17
                                                                           
The Christmas holidays tend to magnify the loneliness we feel when we're separated from the ones we love. Many of us have lost our roots, or never had any to begin with, and that can cause loneliness. We can experience the loneliness of separation because of military service, or a career, or an illness.

But the Bible tells us what we can do about our loneliness --
                                                                           
Focus on the needs of others - Get your eyes off yourself and focus outward. Look at how you can serve other people. The Apostle Paul focused on telling more people about Jesus: "But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it" (2 Timothy 4:17).

Focus on your purpose - Even when the Apostle Paul was isolated in a prison, he never stopped living out his purpose. He wanted everybody to know about God's love.
                                                                           
When you're lonely - Stop building walls and start building bridges!  Instead of saying, "I'm so lonely," say, "Father, help me be a friend to people who need a friend. Help me to help lonely people." That is the antidote for loneliness.                                                   

You can help others become rich in relationships by giving them the gift  of YOU.                                                                   
                                                                           

January 13, 2010 - LIFE IS A STRUGGLE

Worship: The barrier of pride                                              

It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own.  Our qualification comes from God. 2 Corinthians 3:5  
                                                                         
Life is a struggle, but what most people don't realize is that our struggle, like Jacob's, is really with God! We want to be God, and there's no way we're going to win that struggle, but we try anyway.

A.W. Tozer said, "The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking,  still making little forward progress is because they haven't yet come to  the end of themselves. We're still trying to give orders, and interfering  with God's work within us."
                                                                         
We aren't God, and we never will be. We're humans, and the times when we try to be God are the times we end up most like Satan, who tried to be equal with God, too.
                                                                         
We accept our humanity intellectually, but not emotionally. We give mental assent to the idea, but when faced with our own limitations, we react with irritation, anger, and resentment. We want to be taller (or shorter),  smarter, stronger, more talented, beautiful, and wealthy.

We want to have it all and do it all, and become upset when it doesn't happen. Then, when we notice God gave others characteristics we don't have, we respond with envy, jealousy, and self-pity.
                                                                         
What it means to surrender.  Surrendering to God is not passive resignation, fatalism, or an excuse for laziness. It is not accepting the status quo. It may mean the exact opposite: sacrificing your life in resistance to evil and injustice, or suffering in order to change what needs to be changed. God often calls surrendered people to do battle on his behalf. It not for cowards or doormats.
                                                                         
Surrendering is not putting your brain in neutral and giving up rational thinking. God would not waste the mind he gave you! God does not want robots to serve him. Surrendering is not repressing your personality. God wants to use your unique personality. Rather than being diminished, surrendering enhances your uniqueness.
                                                                         
C. S. Lewis observed, "The more we let God take us over, the more truly ourselves we become - because he made us.  He invented all the different people that you and I were intended to be. It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to His personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own."

January 12, 2009- GOD'S WAY



Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. (Mark 8:32)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I read a story once of a Sunday School class that was talking about heaven. A little girl said, "If you are good, you'll go to heaven."

A little boy asked, "Where do you go if you are bad?"

The little girl replied emphatically, "To the principal's office."

Choosing to go God's way is not so much about being good or bad, but it does have a lot to do with who guides our lives God or our own desires.

In our scripture reading today, Peter says to Jesus you're crazy. You are not going to suffer and die. You see Peter and the disciples had a different idea about what the messiah would be like. They saw the messiah as an earthly king or president, who would restore Israel's freedom and power. The disciples were looking for their own desires to be met, not God's desire that Jesus would become the savior of the world.

We are being asked today to choose who we will follow. There are many surveys that say lots of people in our society believe in God. But belief in God does not constitute living God's way. For when we live God's way, we will be willing to suffer with those who suffer, and we will make sacrifices so that God's work will get done in and through the church.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Loving God, help me say yes to serving you in every way possible. Amen.

January 11, 2009 - GIFTS


Make vows to the LORD your God, and perform them; let all who are around him bring gifts to the one who is awesome. (Psalm 76:11)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I read a story that was about the very bashful young man who was hesitant about demonstrating his affection for his sweetheart. "Oh, but that I were an octopus," he said one night, "that I might wrap all eight arms around you." His impatient sweetheart replied, "Don't worry about having eight arms. Just make better use of the two arms you already have."

That is what we must do in doing the work of Jesus Christ. We shouldn't worry about weather or not we have the gifts to follow. We simply need to use what gifts we have to follow Christ and to do God's will.

Doing otherwise is simply a waste of time.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dear God, may I realize more fully today the wonderful gifts you have given me. May I respond to you call in fulfilling your will for my life in touching your people with love and forgiveness. Amen.

January 7, 2009 - WISELY


Ten bridesmaids took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. (Matthew 25:1)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ten bridesmaids took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. When the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them; but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. In our scripture reading, we have some wise and some foolish bridesmaids. How do we live our lives--foolishly or wisely, prepared or unprepared?

Life is a gift, and I believe it is important to live our lives wisely. We shouldn't live our lives by thinking that we have the rest of our lives before us, so we can live life on the edge and do as we please. There is so much more to life than fulfilling ourselves. Living wisely means, we are constantly working to better our relationship with God. We work to do all we can to help others. Living wisely means we live each day to it's fullest.

In the Wall Street Journal, there was a report where someone saw a sign in a Hong Kong dentist's office. The sign said, "Teeth Extracted by the Latest Methodists." I don't know how good Methodists are at extracting teeth, but as God's people we can extract or bring out the best in one another. So, being wise means we are a part of the church that helps us be the best we can be.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


God of all things, work on me to make me the best I can be for your glory. Amen
