Wanted: More Fools

“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those
who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it
is the power of God”
(1 Cor. 1:18).

Dictionaries reveal to us that there are different kinds
of fools in life: (1) a person lacking in judgment or
prudence; (2) a harmlessly deranged person, or one
lacking in common powers of understanding; (3) one
who is victimized or made to appear foolish.

There are those who believe in something so
strongly that they are willingly victimized and branded
as fools for their beliefs.  The same can certainly be
said of those of us who believe that the Word of God
is the final authority in life.  Consider this: many in the
world about us willingly promote, or at the least
endorse, sexual immorality – and Christians are
called fools and ignorant and intolerant for calling it
what God calls it: SIN.  But such is the state of the
worldly wise, “for the wisdom of this world is
foolishness to God…”
(1 Cor. 3:19).  What this world
needs is more fools for Christ.  Will you be one?

Turning Things Around

“Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should
die,” says the Lord God, “and not that he should turn
from his ways and live?”
(Ezekiel 18:23).

It has been said that God is so loving that He would
not send anyone to Hell.  Whoever came up with that
idea obviously does not know God very well, for the
Bible is packed full of warnings for those who will be
lost in Hell if they do not repent.  Paul said of the
Lord, “in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who
do not know God, and on those who do not obey the
gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be
punished with everlasting destruction from the
presence of the Lord and from the glory of His
power, when He comes in that Day”
(2 Thss 1:8-10).
It is true that God is not willing that any should perish
(2 Pet. 3:9), but the point of that is that they come to
repentance.  For this reason God implores us,
saying,
“For I have no pleasure in the death of one
who dies,” says the Lord God.  “Therefore turn and
live!”
(Ezek. 18:32).  The choice is yours.

“I am the way, the truth, and the life.  No one comes
to the Father except through Me”
(John 14:6).

Many in the religious world claim to be Christians, but
the question is, “are they?”  Jesus said that He is
“The Way,” for to obey Him is to do things His way.
He is the only avenue by which one can come to the
Father.  He also said that He is “The Truth,” for it is
impossible for God to lie (Titus 1:2; Heb. 6:18).
Therefore, whatever He tells us to do in order to be
saved we must do or we can never come to the
Father.  Additionally, Jesus said that He is “The Life,”
for only through obedience to the gospel can one be
free from spiritual death. “For the wages of sin is
death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ
Jesus our Lord”
(Rom. 6:23).

The gospel of Christ is like a map: it is the only
means to guide you home, you can completely trust
it, and if you follow it exactly you will live.  Let me
encourage you to FOLLOW THE MAP!

Attention

Does God Have Your Attention?

Much goes on today that nobody notices. These occurrences may be subtle or extreme. The subtlety may be as simple as your wife changing the color of her lipstick and you not noticing, or as drastic as a president spending away your children’s future while your country stands by in ignorance.

As a boy, I looked forward to the coming of summer each year. These were times I was not daily sitting at a school desk. I had a freedom inside of me that propelled me outside and into the woods. Every day I would get up and start a new adventure of swimming, swinging on an old rope swing, playing with my dog, or doing something with a ball. To my disappointment, time didn’t stop. The summer days came to an abrupt end with the announcement that school was the next week. This left me with a list of undone adventures and a frown on my face. The time had just slipped away.

How many of you are aware of when the daffodils show up each year? I saw them in the stores this week. If you don’t pay attention their arrival can pass you by and you never knew they came and went.

I trimmed my mustache this last week. No one said a word. That was a big deal! Did anyone notice? It didn’t appear as if anyone did.

How many of us have children or have had them? I have a son and a daughter. I am currently in Cody, Wyoming while they are in Saint Joseph, Missouri, preparing with my wife to move out here. My son has lost two teeth and had a black eye from bumping into a cabinet in the time that I have been Cody. By the time I see him, the black eye will be gone. I will have missed it. When did that moment happen where “Chutes and Ladders” and “Candy Land” became taboo for my kids? Did the moment your child decided to be interested in a girl or boy come as a complete surprise to you? These things always sneak upon me! I don’t see them coming. They fail to capture my attention.

Phil Jackson is the coach of the Los Angeles Lakers professional basketball team. He was a player and he has been a coach for quite some time. He has won championships as a coach and a player and in professional and semi-professional leagues. I read an article sometime ago that caught my attention. Phil Jackson has a unique way of getting the attention of his players. This is not an easy task at all times. Professional basketball games can house tens of thousands of screaming fans. Phil Jackson lets loose on a powerful horse whistle. That is, using his fingers and lungs, not a manufactured whistle; he grabs the ears of his guys. It is loud. It is piercing. It is effective. I cannot imitate the volume, but I do employ a similar strategy with my children.

Now, whether it is Phil Jackson with the Lakers or myself with my children, the whistle represents more than an attention getter. It represents a moment in which a message is going to be conveyed. Phil may use the instant to convey the need for unity among his players. It may be used to point out a fault or an opportunity. He may whistle at times when his players are being taken advantage of in a specific play set and don’t even realize it. His job is to oversee his team and get the best out of them.

God has used various methods of trying to get our attention throughout time. When mankind sinned in the Garden, He got their attention by providing dire consequences (Gen 3). Pain in child birth was increased, the ground was cursed, man had to work to eat, and after his days, he would return to the dust. Man was hopefully saying at this time, “Wow! There is no way I am going to mess up again!” Unfortunately, man continued in sin and God had to continue to grab their attention to get them on the right path.

In the time of Noah, we see him preaching righteousness and building an ark. People had to notice, didn’t they? If they did, they did not heed the message. So God sent the flood, delivering Noah and his family. He destroyed so many, because they were not paying attention. The Flood had to grab their attention! Yet, even as Noah and his family began to repopulate the earth, it was evident total attention was not achieved.
Sometimes, God uses some pretty extreme events to get our attention and at others he is more subtle.
Exodus 3:1-5, shows us how God gets the attention of Moses. He catches Moses’ eye with a burning bush, which is not burning up. This isn’t a worldwide event that is meant for all to see, but it is for Moses alone.

I Samuel 3:1-10, shows us how God gets the attention of Samuel. He calls to Samuel. Samuel hears and runs to Eli whom he thinks is calling. Samuel doesn’t dawdle, he doesn’t stay in his warm bed acting like he didn’t hear anything. This happens twice more and each time Samuel’s response is the same. He is listening and ready to respond. It is not until Eli gives him instruction that it is the Lord calling that he communicates with God himself. Not calling communication with God minor, God got the attention of Moses and Samuel in less obvious manners.

Note: God’s correspondence with Samuel did not go unnoticed by all others. I Samuel 3:11-17, details God’s message shared with Samuel of punishment upon Eli and his family. Samuel is afraid to share it with Eli, but Eli wanted to know the message of God. God got Eli’s attention too.

Today, God has given us His Word, the Bible, to get our attention, not to be ignored. This gives us a message of the blessings and curses of God. Properly paid attention to, it will lead us to eternal life. Ignored, it will seal our destruction as those in the days of Noah. It is a message the entire world has received in complete since the first century (Col. 1, Jude 1:3, Gal. 1:6-10). God is a patient God. He does not want to see us perish (Is. 30:18, Jn. 3:16, 2 Pet. 3:9). However, we have to pay attention.

I Samuel 3:13 details that Eli was attentive to the fact that his sons were in violation of God’s will, yet he did nothing (James 4:17). He wanted to act as if ignorant, a direct contrast to the behavior of Samuel.

When we talk about our children (and our brothers and sisters in Christ), we have the role to watch over them (Ez. 33). It’s that role that is kind of like Phil Jackson’s with the Lakers. If he does not engage in his role properly, problems will result. Certainly, ignoring the problems in our physical and spiritual families will not make them go away, we will be held accountable. We have to be ready to blow the whistle and get our Children’s attention. Do they know more about sports, cars, video games, a music group, farming, hunting, or fishing than the Bible? That is a whistle blowing moment (2 Tim. 2:15, Rom. 10:17, Eph. 6:15). They will be lost eternally if they are not prepared for the judgment day. Do they spend more time with friends in the world than Christians? That is a whistle blowing moment (Heb. 10:24-25, Acts 2:46, Phil. 4:8, I Cor. 15:33, 2 Cor. 6:14-18). Are your children’s (or brothers and sisters) clothes tight? Do they show the cleft of the breast, the form of their body, the navel, the knee or thigh? I am not talking just about at church! Have they become desensitized to God’s standard of modesty wherever they are? This is a whistle blowing moment (Jer. 6:15, 8:12, Gen 3:7,10,21, Ex. 28:42, Is. 47:1-4). Does God have your attention on these issues or you choosing to ignore Him?

Satan wants us to ignore God. He wants us to be so wrapped up in our lives that the only attention we pay to anything is our own appetites. He wants us to be so busy with the world and our own wisdom that we don’t spend time in the Word or with our brothers and sisters in fellowship or study. He wants us to stress over the length of 45 minute studies a few times a week. He wants us to have anxiety over messages presentations we would not have chosen. He wants us to fret over the singing of others and the songs our song leader chooses. He wants us to grumble, complain, and whine about prayers that are too long. Overall Satan wants our attention to totally miss the fruit of the spirit which should characterize a church (Gal. 5:22-23).

Sodom and/or Gomorrah are mentioned in 14 of the 66 books of the Bible. They are noted for their wickedness and immorality. God got their attention (Gen. 19:24-25). Yet, the wife of lot turned back. Jesus tells us in Luke 17:32 “Remember Lot’s wife.” She looked back to the things of the world. She was turned to a pillar of salt. Jesus is trying to get our attention. We must focus on the Lord not upon our own desires (Mt. 6:33). Gross immorality will be punished, but most men are simply guilty of following their own desire and not Christ.

As the greatest gift of grace and His greatest attention getter, God sent his Son to die on the cross for our sins. While he was here he performed miracle after miracle to get our attention. He healed the blind, made the lame walk, cast out demons, replaced body parts, and raised the dead. He told his disciples in John 14:15, if they loved him they would keep his commandments. He said in Mt. 7:21, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.” He said in Luke 9:23 “ If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” Does Christ get your attention? Are you engaged more than one to three hours a week bearing your cross and filling up that which is lacking in Christ’s afflictions (Col. 1:24)? Do you know all the studies that are going on at your congregation right now? Do you see your brothers and sisters more than once a week? Are you actively engaged in the encouragement and comfort of the body or do you have time for that in your busy schedule of seeking worldly comfort and joy?

2 Pet. 3:10-18, is the final attempt to gather mankind’s attention. It establishes we need to be holy in conduct and godliness, spotless and blameless, looking toward the Day of Judgment, growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord. That day will be a day of fire and destruction for those that are not prepared.

Our Father has raised the Alarm. “Fire” has been called. Will you respond to the call? Will you ignore the warnings? Are you ready for that day to come?

Moving Day

My family and I just finished a move to St. Joseph, Mo. In seventeen years, my wife and I have moved 17 times. At times, the moves have been a mere few blocks. In other instances, the moves have been across the United States.

Often when people year how many times we have moved, they ask if we are in the military (due to the relocation required). No, we are not US military, though we are in the army of God. Unique circumstances have simply brought about the moves each time.

We have found that many people may have moved only once or twice in their entire lifetime. It may have been a long time ago since they experienced a “Moving Day”. Yet, there will come a time in all of our lives, where we will experience “Moving Day”.

1Th 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

2Co 4:14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

1Co 6:14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.

Joh 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Joh 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Joh 11:24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

Rev 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

From these verses, it is clear to see that there is indeed a “Moving Day” coming.  It is a day in which we shall leave this earth.  It is a day in which we shall be with the Lord in the heavens.

With each “Moving Day” I have experienced, there have been surprises.  A mirror may be hanging on the wall after the packing is done.  A drawer may not have been emptied.  Something may be dropped and broken.  The weather may pour down rain… or snow.  There is always an unexpected event waiting to occur on “Moving Day”.

When Jesus comes again to lift us from this earth and to Judge all of mankind, there will be no surprises for Him.

Heb 4:12  For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Jer 23:24  Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.

The Lord can see all things and knows all things, there will be no surprises for Him come “Moving Day”.   In regard to a Christian’s “Moving Day”, we can be certain of no surprises as well.

1Co 15:1-2  Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand, by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.

Dan 12:2  And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

We make the decisions in our life as to how to behave.  Thus, good or bad, there are no surprises.  We know what decisions we have made in life and who we have chosen to follow.

Jos 24:15  And if it seem evil unto you to serve Jehovah, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve Jehovah.

Are you prepared for “Moving Day”?  I do not know who ever said it first, but the words “Preparation is the key to the start of any great adventure” hold fast in my mind.  There have been some moves I have engaged in where I was not fully prepared.  Even in small moves, if you are not prepared, the experience is not a pleasant one.  Over time, I have learned that an investment in boxes, tape, and a moving truck are great a great help!   Not waiting until the last second to start packing is also a plus on the preparation side.  It is important to call credit card companies, creditors, post office, water company, gas company, and all others who need to know about your address change.  What happens when you have a lack of preparation is called chaos.  This often results in destruction, anxiety, and unpleasantness.

Spiritually, we need to make certain we are prepared for “Moving Day”.  We need to spend our lives telling folks about our address change.  Letting them know that someday, we are going to spend our eternity with Christ.  Let them know they are going to be moving also and that Christ has room for all who follow Him.

Joh 14:2  In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.

Heb 11:16  But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city.

If we have made investment in preparation our “Moving Day” experience is going to be great.

Psa 10:17  Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek: Thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear;

2Co 8:12  For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according as a man hath, not according as he hath not.

You don’t want to be unprepared for your own wedding day, your “Moving Day” is just that time!   The time when we move to be with the groom for eternity.

As with not being prepared for a physical move, if we are not prepared for the spiritual move we also will experience destruction, anxiety, and unpleasantness.

2Pe 3:7  but the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

Are you ready for your “Moving Day”?  Normally, with a physical address change, we know the time in which we are leaving.  However, this is not always the case.  The date and time of the coming of our Lord to move us to heaven is unknown.

2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Luk 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

Dear friends, “Moving Day” can be a good or bad experience for us.  However, the experience of our spiritual move can be a joyous one.  We know moving day is coming.  We know we can avoid surprises on that day if we are prepared.  We know that regardless of the day of Christ’s appearing, if we are ready, we will rejoice!

Rev 19:7  Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
