One Word : Trust

August 18, 2011 in Faith with 2 Comments

Trust

Eight months ago, that was the word I chose for OneWord2011. When Alece put out the idea at the beginning of the year, that was the first word that came to my mind. Little did I know what I was getting myself into.

When I picked the word Trust, I’m pretty sure God rolled out the red carpet right down to a WWE wrestling ring full of sweaty, brightly colored mask-wearing situations that would teach me to trust in Him – probably with the help of an RKO or Last Ride. (If you’ve never followed wrestling, these references will be lost on you, kinda like they were on me :) ) I guess that’s what happens when you ask God to help you work on your trust. I should have picked something a lot simpler, like working on my ability to not proofread through worship while I’m at church.

So far this year, I’ve had:

  • A major job switch
  • My heart scrambled
  • My heart scrambled again
  • And I just volunteered to run a ministry that I can’t get any leaders to agree to help me with.

Do you see anything here that says “You’re gonna have to trust Me on this.”? Yeah, I thought so too. It may not sound like a lot, but trust me, some days it feels like plenty. All this at the same time that I know God has placed it on my heart to do something that helps people. Possibly not just in a “one weekend a month, two weeks a year” kind of way. More like an “here’s what you get to do every day kind of way.” The problem is that He hasn’t told me what that is or what it even looks like at this point. So I’m struggling to trust that God has a plan for me and even though I can’t see what it is, I have to trust that He’s got it under control.

I’m a big fan of John Eldredge. I read Waking the Dead earlier this year, and it talked about trusting in the wildness of God. In the Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis, when writing about Aslan, refers to him in this way:

He may not be safe, but He is good.

I have realized this year that I don’t want a God who’s safe. I don’t want to live a life where I look back when I’m 80 and realize I’ve lived a “safe” life. I want a God who is dangerous, never resting, always standing on the edge. Jesus would not have been killed if he was safe. The pharisees wouldn’t have been worried about a “safe” guy. All I need to trust in is that God is good. Yes, I realize that living a dangerous life in the footsteps of my Creator means that I’m going to get hurt, bloodied, and bruised. I’m going to be attacked by satan (always little “s”, don’t give him the satisfaction of capitalization) because I am dangerous, and it took me until this year to realize what James meant when he said

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds… James 1:2

At the end of my life, when I look back over what I’ve done, I want to be able to say that I lived bravely, loved fearlessly, and attacked relentlessly the calling that I was given. And that is something I wouldn’t be able to say with a “safe” God and a lack of trust. I have to trust in a God that is above all, good. So if this is God’s way of saying I have to rely on His goodness, then that’s what I need to be learning.

He may not be safe, but He is good.

Paid In Full

May 13, 2010 in Faith with 0 Comments

I received this story in my email today. I know it’s slightly corny, but I’ve been asking God a lot lately what my purpose is here on earth, and I think this was just a reminder today that He’s got it all in control and I just need to keep trusting in him until he reveals his plan more to me.

After living what I felt was a ‘decent’ life, my time on earth came to the end.

The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting room of what I thought to be a court house..

The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the defense table.

As I looked around I saw the ‘prosecutor.’

He was a villainous looking gent who snarled as he stared at me. He definitely was the most evil person I have ever seen.

I sat down and looked to my left and there sat My Attorney, a kind and gentle looking man whose appearance seemed so familiar to me, I felt I knew Him.

The corner door flew open and there appeared the Judge in full flowing robes.

He commanded an awesome presence as He moved across the room. I couldn’t take my eyes off of Him.

As He took His seat behind the bench, He said, ‘Let us begin.’

The prosecutor rose and said,

‘My name is Satan and I am here to show you why this man belongs in hell.’

He proceeded to tell of lies that I told, things that I stole, and In the past when I cheated others. Satan told of other horrible Perversions that were once in my life and the more he spoke, the further down in my seat I sank.

I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t look at anyone, even my own Attorney, as the Devil told of sins that even I had completely forgotten about.

As upset as I was at Satan for telling all these things about me, I was equally upset at My Attorney who sat there silently not offering any form of defense at all.

I know I had been guilty of those things, but I had done some good in my life – couldn’t that at least equal out part of the harm I’d done?

Satan finished with a fury and said, ‘This man belongs in hell, he is guilty of all that I have charged and there is not a person who can prove otherwise.’

When it was His turn, My Attorney first asked if He might approach the bench. The Judge allowed this over the strong objection of Satan, and beckoned Him to come forward.

As He got up and started walking, I was able to see Him in His full splendor and majesty.

I realized why He seemed so familiar; this was Jesus representing me, my Lord and my Savior. He stopped at the bench and softly said to the Judge, ‘Hi, Dad,’ and then He turned to address the court.

‘Satan was correct in saying that this man had sinned, I won’t deny any of these allegations. And, yes, the wages of sin is death, and this man deserves to be punished.’

Jesus took a deep breath and turned to His Father with outstretched arms and proclaimed, ‘However, I died on the cross so that this person might have eternal life and he has accepted Me as his Savior, so he is Mine.’

My Lord continued with, ‘His name is written in the Book of Life, and no one can snatch him from Me.

Satan still does not understand yet. This man is not to be given justice, but rather mercy.’

As Jesus sat down, He quietly paused, looked at His Father and said, ‘There is nothing else that needs to be done.’

‘I’ve done it all.’

The Judge lifted His mighty hand and slammed the gavel down. The following words bellowed from His lips..

‘This man is free. The penalty for him has already been paid in full. ‘Case dismissed.’

As my Lord led me away, I could hear Satan ranting and raving, ‘I won’t give up, I will win the next one.’ I asked Jesus as He gave me my instructions where to go next, ‘Have you ever lost a case?’

Christ lovingly smiled and said, ‘Everyone that has come to Me and asked Me to represent them has received the same verdict as you, ~Paid In Full~’

‘Stop telling God how big your storm is.
Instead, tell the storm how big your God is!’

Plan B

May 9, 2010 in Books, Faith, Featured with 5 Comments

Plan B by Pete Wilson

I’ve been looking forward to this book for a long time. I’ve known Pete through his blog for a couple of years now, and the next time I make it to Nashville for a trip, I’m definitely making a stop at CrossPoint.TV. When I first heard that he was going to be writing a book, I was excited. Then I also found out the he would be published through Thomas Nelson, a company I have a lot of respect for.

Plan B by Pete Wilson

After watching the news for the last few weeks, I think possibly more than ever, this book came out at exactly the right time. As I watch oil creep towards the beaches in the Gulf of Mexico, and as the flood waters recede from Nashville, I think many people are seeing their “Plan A” going down the drain and are wondering what to do, and I think this book really lives up to it’s title when addressing our Plan B.

Pete has done a fantastic job with this book. I think most of us go through life expecting everything to go just as we planned it. To get that great job, find that perfect companion and get married, buy a great house and raise our 2.5 kids, and retire somewhere to gracefully live out our days watching our children and grandchildren. But realistically, that isn’t always how it happens. You’ve yet to find that perfect mate, or maybe they walked out on you because they didn’t want to be married anymore. That great job you had laid you off last year and you haven’t been able to find steady work since. Maybe you’ve had kids, and one of them develops cancer, or they take a wrong turn and end up in jail. In an instant, all those things you’ve planned for go up in flames.

Pete doesn’t pull any punches in his book, nor does he admit he has all the answers. I think that’s one of the great things about the book. For everyone, our situations are a little different, and no one has all the answers, and Pete explains how to work through Plan B in our lives, but admits that he’s walking the same path as the rest of us. I love the illustrations and stories that he uses throughout the book to illustrate different aspects of our lives and how we can learn to accept things when they don’t work out the way we intended them.

I really enjoy the part where Pete talks about idols, and how Plan A in our lives for pretty much all of us turns into an idol.

Not many of us walk around saying, “I worship my stuff. I worship my job. I worship this pleasure. I worship her. I worship my body. I worship my dream.> But the trail never lies. In the end our worship, our idolatry, is more about what we do than what we say. And I think for those of us in the midst of a Plan B we’ll discover that one of our idols all along has been a picture of the way life should be. Our idol was an expectation or a dream.

I have never thought about that before, and I think it’s very true, at least in my life. Pete also talks about how God uses our Plan B in our lives. God will always take these situations in our lives where we have pain and struggle, and will never fail at the opportunity to show us how much he loves us. God never destroys our lives, but he does allow us to make our own decisions, even when those decisions take us farther away from God.

Pete also discusses our timing versus God’s timing, especially in a Plan B situation. As Pete says, we often wonder where God is, why are things going so badly, and why do I continue to struggle through this pain for years and years. Too often, we want that pain to be over as quickly as possible, and we scream at God when it doesn’t happen in our timing. Pete talks about the fact that God’s timing is nothing like ours, and if there is a reason the pain is allowed to go on, maybe God is working in your life and his timing isn’t ready for you to be out of this season in life. A tough thing to swallow, that’s for sure, but very true.

I especially liked the illustration Pete used that explains why, when we’re in a painful situation, we think God isn’t there. In all reality, maybe we’ve pulled away from God, and he’s been right here all along, just waiting on us to come back to him. He’s never left us. This was something I’ve never really considered, and too many times I’ve asked God where he was, why wasn’t he fixing this, why weren’t my plans coming true. When in all reality, maybe I’ve been the one running from God and he’s never left me, but instead, I’ve tried to leave him.

This book was absolutely fantastic, and I would highly recommend everyone pick this up. Even if you don’t read it right now, or things are going according to your plan for life; sooner or later, you’re going to run into a Plan B, and I think this book is an excellent instruction manual to help you deal with and makes it through those situations in your life. Pete has done a fantastic job with this book, and I’m really looking forward to reading the next book that he writes.

MyGodMadeSex

April 26, 2010 in Faith, Featured, Leadership with 0 Comments

As you know, I work with high school students at my church. The ministry is called Vertical, and we have it at each of our three locations. We decided recently to do what we call a “Big Push.” Basically, we pull out all the stops when it comes to advertising on the radio, tv, and billboards around town over the course of a few weeks leading into a new series. We do this twice a year with our weekend services to try and reach those that don’t normally attend church. This was the first time we’ve done it for our high school ministry.

So what topic is of great interest to high school students? Yep, you guessed it…sex. So we titled the series MyGodMadeSex.com, and filmed commercials, purchased tv and radio spots, and bought billboard space. It created a SLIGHT amount of controversy here in town. :)

Clarifying the Message.
Advertising Sex
MyGodMadeSex: So says Cedar Creek
dar Creek abstinence campaign raising some eyebrows
Toledo Blade Editorial
Church’s sex-ed campaign stirs calls, controversy

The purpose of this series is to explain what God has to say about sex. High school students are learning about sex from a wide variety of sources; Culture, Parents, Media, Friends, “Religion”. These sources are clearly not the best option and way for students to learn about sex. So we are presenting specifically what GOD has to say about sex, straight out of the bible.

Overall, coverage has been positive, including the local newspaper editorial. One quote that did strike me as odd was in the last link, in which the newspaper interviewed a local Baptist preacher, who said “…church is not the place to talk about sex.” Huh?! I would be curious to see how he explains Song of Solomon.

So our first weekend of this two week series was last night. We had over 600 students in total at our three campuses! According to calculations, that means that 1 in 50 Toledo area high school students was sitting at a Vertical service last night hearing about God’s design for sex. That’s amazing! It was a long weekend for those of us who were leaders, and we’ll be doing it again next weekend when we cover “Messing Up to Making Up.”

We’ve had students as the voice and face of this campaign, and even tonight one of them was on the local Fox station defending the purpose of this campaign. They’ve done a fantastic job and I couldn’t be prouder of them! They’ve owned this campaign and risked being ridiculed by being seen on tv, on billboards around town, and at school by putting up posters with their faces on it and having them ripped down, only to have the students post another one in it’s place.

I think another bonus of this Big Push has been the fact that it has shown our students that they can make a difference in the culture around them and stir up feelings and emotions. It shows that they’re not the generation of the future, but the generation of NOW and they can affect things now.

To read another leader’s post on their feelings of the weekend, check out this post by my good friend Jen Funkhouser.

I Ask Why

April 9, 2010 in Faith with 0 Comments

Tonight, I sat here with a heavy heart and asked God why. I asked him why he allows people to hurt. Why He allows Little Kate McRae to have cancer, why He allows sex trafficking in places like Moldova. I asked Him with tears in my eyes why my friends have to go through pain like addictions, divorce, and death.

It’s not the first time I’ve asked this question, and I’m sure it won’t be the last. I understand there are reasons for all these things to be happening, but I still have to ask why sometimes. I still hope to hear God tell me why someday when I ask the question.

Thrive Africa: A Little Part of My Heart

March 29, 2010 in Causes, Faith, Featured, Leadership with 0 Comments

Jesus talks in Matthew 25:40 of doing things for the “least of these.” In other words, those who for whatever reason cannot do it themselves. Whether it’s to provide food, clothing, shelter, medicine, etc, we as Christians are supposed to take care of everyone. An organization that is doing an amazing job at this is Thrive Africa.

The goal of Thrive Africa is to “equip and mobilize indigenous leaders to become strategic, Godly influences in their cultural communities.” When it comes to making societal changes, it’s great to have grassroots efforts, but you MUST have leaders to propel and champion change. This is what Thrive is doing by educating pastors, young people, and people of all ages.

We see poverty and heartache all over the world every day, but let’s go over so facts about South Africa that you may not know (I don’t think I did):

  • Did you know that South Africa is one of the few 1st world countries (like the United States, England, Japan, etc) that have 3rd world problems?
  • Did you also know that 1 in 4 South Africans has HIV?
  • 88% of the population is unemployed, and 75% of the population is chronically hungry.
  • 3 out of 4 children live in poverty.
  • There are 250 HIV positive babies born every day.
  • 1500 people become infected with HIV every day.

Those are sobering statistics in any country. Thrive Africa is training pastors, indigenous leaders, and youth through discipleship classes, AIDS prevention through abstinence, and in leadership. Their primary area of influence is with the Basotho people living in the Intabazwe and Qwa Qwa areas. This region is considered to be the poorest in the country. Thrive has also purchased what has to be an amazingly beautiful 2,500 acre game reserve as a operations base for their ministry.

Clearly, based on the information above, they have a fantastic team in place to attack such a massive problem. But you should meet Alece. She’s the founder and president of Thrive Africa. You know that list of people you have that you’d like to meet because they make you look really lazy and yet inspire you at the same time? Yeah, Alece is on my list.

So, what can you and I do? How can we help? Why now?
Part of my sudden interest is that Thrive Africa just recently came on my radar. I hadn’t heard about the organization until recently, and it’s a cause that’s close to my heart. Also, I believe and trust in the people and what they’re doing. I’m not going to encourage you to support an organization that I don’t believe in myself. They’ve got a proven track record of success; what they’re doing is working. I got this statistic from Sara’s blog:

Thrive Africa is feeding their needs. Before they began this program, one school averaged 40 pregnancies a year among 7th, 8th and 9th graders. In the four years Thrive’s program has been taught, there has not been one single pregnancy.

So what’s the best way to help? I’ll let Thrive tell you themselves.

We are facing one of the most difficult financial hardships we’ve ever experienced at Thrive Africa. We are pushing forward, assured that God’s not done with us, but the challenge confronting us is real and urgent.

Right now our financial situation is so dire that, unless there is a significant increase in funds, we will not be able to pay the bills at the end of April. We will have no choice but to scale down our AIDS prevention program and other ministry initiatives. We may be forced to decrease our staff team, affecting the 52 nationals we employ and the families who are dependent on their income.

We have taken action by reducing our expenses as much as possible. We have launched an online store and are making efforts to raise awareness through radio, billboards, and an increased online presence. Our founder will be traveling along the West Coast this spring, promoting Thrive in at least 8 cities in 6 weeks.

We have set a goal to raise $80,000 in new support by June 1.

$60,000 in one-time gifts by April 15
to get us up-to-date on our operating expenses

$20,000 in new monthly commitments by June 1
to continue our programs at current levels

We know this is a God-sized goal, but He’s given us a God-sized vision. We are trusting Him to move mightily, and hope your heart is open to Him moving mightily through you.

We humbly yet boldly ask you to help us reach this goal.

We ask you to give generously. Invest in the continued training of African leaders.
We ask you to speak up. Tell others about the need, the vision, and the opportunity to get involved.
We ask you to pray hard. Petition God for abundant provision and divine favor.

Together we can impact South Africa.
(See the nicely formatted version here)

So, I ask you to give. And spread the word. And of course pray.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, `Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world.35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home.36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ -Matthew 25:34-36

Tired

March 24, 2010 in Causes, Faith, Featured with 1 Comment

I originally sat down to write a post about the health care reform package passed this week by Congress. But for some reason, that post didn’t come to mind while staring at the computer screen. Instead, this is what came out.

I’m tired. I’m tired of all the people I see hurting on a daily basis. Multiple people I spoke with today alone; this was one of the worst days of their lives. Maybe not the absolute worst, but it ranks up there pretty highly. These weren’t just “ah, I had a bad day” worst day, but more like a “someone broke into my house and stole my stuff” worst day.

Maybe tired isn’t the right phrase. I’m angry. Angry that we can’t get along, and we end up doing things that hurt others. We do things that cause others to grieve for extremely long periods of time. We kill, injure, hurt, rob, steal. I understand that it’s just a byproduct of our fallen world, but man, it’s really getting old.

I don’t want to see people hurt. Its breaks my heart to see people in pain and knowing that I can’t do anything about it. I’d gladly take their place if I could, but I can’t. There isn’t anything I can say but “I’m Sorry”, and while that’s a very correct response, it doesn’t fix anything. I’m grateful for a God that sacrificed His son so that I don’t have to endure this through eternity, but my nature causes me to want to fix things, and I can’t fix this. At least I don’t see how at this point.

Ideas on what we can do to fix this problem?

God's Finest Work

February 12, 2010 in Faith, Featured with 2 Comments

I’m reading Wild at Heart for the second time, and I’m also halfway through Captivating. Both of these books are amazing. To be a mouse in the Eldredge household must be an amazing thing. But as I’ve read through both of these books, there are certain things that have made a huge impact on me, and so I’ve decided to take my heart out of it’s protective little box and set it on the table and write a few things from it to the females.

First off, let me say that I’m sorry. I’m sorry that we as males have not lived up to who we were created and designed to be. This isn’t some male-bashing statement to say that men aren’t good enough or that we aren’t living up to some set of standards set by culture today. We all know that we get enough of that from evening sitcoms. I’m saying we aren’t living up to who we were designed to be and who we are fully capable of being, myself included. I’m sorry that as men, we are so stuck on not failing that we have indeed failed by doing nothing. God has given us an amazing example to follow in Himself, and we just put Him back on the shelf and decide we’re afraid to fail, and it has caused heartache after heartache in relationships throughout history. I also want to apologize for the fact that we continually fail in our ability to tell you how much you mean to us and how much we truly delight in you.

In Captivating, one of the best parts so far is when the creation of Eve is talked about. As I was reading it, I think I was nodding my head in agreement. Something females clearly do not hear enough is that you are God’s finest creation. The way he created you today; not once you lose a few pounds, get that new haircut, or buy that new outfit. Each step of the way, as God the artist is creating, He is becoming more delicate, more intricate, and creating more amazing works of art. Light, sky, land, plants, birds and fish, wild animals, Adam. And still God said things weren’t good enough; something was missing. His final creation, the greatest thing that He creates, His masterpiece, the thing with the most beauty and intricacy, is Eve. The world God created was not good, not complete, without you in it.lassie-and-timmy

Clearly, we as men suck at telling you this. Whether it’s your father as you’re growing up, boyfriends along the way, or a husband that seems to be completely emotionless and distant, we’re terrible at it. Lassie has a better chance of explaining that little Timmie is stuck in a well before we have a chance of explaining how riveting, amazing, and beautiful you are, and how much we delight in you. So, please, consider the following from all of us:

You are the most beautiful thing we have ever seen, hands down. When you walk into a room, we can’t help but look at you. We do everything we can to make you laugh, even if it’s just a hint of a grin. When we look into your eyes, we get lost, sometimes to the point of speechlessness. We are intrigued by you, and do whatever we can to get to know you more. We know you’re smarter than us, and that scares us a little, but in a good way. Your strength is amazing, as history has shown in Rahab, Ruth, Mary, Mother Teresa, and countless others. You are the beauty that each and every man deep down in his heart is longing to fight for, and we desire to live a life of adventure with you.

Also, there’s someone who has pursued you from the beginning, someone who is much better at this than any man, and that person is God. Truly, He’s the only person that can answer the question of every girl’s heart, just like he’s the only person that can answer the question in every guy’s heart. Take a look at Song of Solomon, and then pair that with the fact that God considers himself a bridegroom, and you are his bride. When Heartyou put those two things together, there’s no question how God feels about you and your beauty. When you take away all the religious trappings we’ve thrown on that statement, and add in some Song of Solomon, I don’t think there’s any question. Please keep in mind that God loves you, desires you, and delights in you infinitely more than any of us could.

I know this all may not feel like a lot of consolation if you’re spending a Valentine’s Day weekend by yourself, and this may just feel to you like another “Valentine’s Day Post to Sad People” or something like that, but I beg you to examine your heart, and run to God to get the questions answered that you find there.

(I’ve taken ideas liberally from both Wild at Heart and Captivating, but these books have been instrumental lately in helping me to understand who I am and I wanted to share those ideas with you.

Struggle

February 3, 2010 in Faith, Featured with 0 Comments

So, I haven’t really written a post in a little while, and to be honest, I just haven’t had the desire. I’m not entirely sure why this is, I just have really been feeling burdened lately and the last thing I feel like sitting down and doing is writing. I write in a journal on a semi-regular basis, and as I was writing the other day, I started to go back and read through some of my old entries. Here’s what I wrote on May 4, 2009:

I prayed today for God to break me. To use me in the way He wants. And to an extent, it downright terrifies me. I am scared of the hits I’ll have to take, the emotional fights I’ll have to go through, the spiritual battles that will be waged over me, and the number of times I’ll fail and feel worthless.

I just can’t take the lukewarm style of living anymore. There is too much going on that I can make a difference in that I can’t sit back any longer. I’m not sure where or how God is going to use me, but it’s time I found out. I feel like I’m destined to do something greater in some way than I am doing now. To be a part of something much bigger than myself.

For me, I think it’ll be spiritual warfare at it’s finest inside my head, but it’s time to go for it anyway.

God, I love you, and it’s about time I started showing how much. Help me do that.

On the day I was reading this, I had been having a really bad day. It just seemed like the world was against me, things weren’t going my way, and I felt like everything in my life was happening just a little too late or too early. When I read this, I sort of fell apart because I realized what had been happening to me lately. It has been a frustrating last month or so, and while many things appear to be going right, there was a lot I felt wasn’t going the way I wanted.

I knew God had broken me for those things that break His heart, that has been very clear over the last six months or so. But I forgot as what cost this kind of life change happens. It had been just as I described, “spiritual warfare at it’s finest in my head,” especially the last few weeks. Satan has been pounding on me mercilessly for the last few weeks, and I was just at a breaking point.

I don’t normally go back through and read journal entries on a regular basis at all, but I had prayed that morning for God to show me something related to the way I was feeling. As soon as I read what I had written last May, it all made sense. It didn’t reassure me that things were going to get any easier, but it did reassure me that I was on the right path and doing the work God wants me to be doing.

I just wanted to share those words not to “toot my own horn,” but to let others know that may be struggling or have struggled lately that if you’re doing what God has called you to do, there will most likely be trials and problems, but don’t entirely give up, especially if it has seemed extra tough lately. Most likely, it’s means you’re doing exactly what God wants you to do, and because of your faith your being attacked. Stay strong, pray, and share it with others so they can pray for you as well.

How have you been feeling lately? Have things been rough for you? What can we pray for in your life?

I Am Second – Sam and Colt

If you’re not familiar with the I Am Second movement, you should definitely check it out. I love the premise of what the movement is about, and they’ve presented it in an amazing light. Recently, they sat down with both Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy, both shining examples of humility, and talked about being second. The combined video is above, and there are links to their individual videos below that.

Are you being second in your life?
