Still Living In The Good News

Easter Is More Than A Day

It’s been over a week since Easter. As I read through Matthew 28 in my Bible today, I wondered how many of us are still running with fear and joy to tell others?

How many of us are living in the good news of Easter every day?

Easter was meant to be a day that changed all other days. It’s not just a holiday. It’s the best news this world has to offer.

Jesus’ payment on the cross was fully accepted to cover our sin. We are free from the bondage of our inquiries forever!

I’d like to challenge to honestly look at what your response has been to this news. Is it radically changing your life daily?

If I asked those closest to you, would they mention your commitment to sharing the good news of Christ?

In chapter 28, we see the fear, joy, excitement, and obedience as these ladies run to tell the disciples what they had seen.

The chapter concludes with Jesus giving his disciples a similar mission.

He instructs them:

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”” ~ Matthew‬ ‭28:19-20‬ ‭

It’s your turn to run with fear and joy to tell others.

This mission is possible! Here’s a great set of resources to help you get equipped:

Set Your Mind

Brian — Fri, 17 Apr 2020 13:26:56 +0000

Flesh Or Spirit

WARNING: Conviction and growth may result.

Have you ever stopped and examined your own life patterns and behavior? Have you pondered and been honest about your real intent behind these actions?

Generally speaking most of us don’t. We might run at a frenetic pace and crash hard or on the opposite end, we might be lethargic and unmotivated. In either case, we tend not to examine our own tendencies.

A great flag to see where our hearts are at is to simply look at our calendar and bank account. Where are we spending two of our greatest resources?.

Is your money and time going to adorn yourself or meet the needs of your neighbor? In a time when people are now jobless, high-risk for travel, and scared, are you assisting them in any way?

Let me interject and say this is not attempt to guilt you into serving or giving. It is a wake up call for you to move toward joy.

When we truly set our minds on walking in spirit and in truth, we take our eyes off of ourselves and see the needs around us. When we give our hearts are in line with their purpose and joy results.

Ask God to show you who can you help today? Then help them. (Simple, right?)

God’s Plan

Brian — Fri, 10 Apr 2020 10:50:37 +0000

Good Friday

Jesus knew what was entailed in His mission. Three times he asked His Father if there was another way, but was left with the reality that suffering through the cross was the way.

Not only would He endure the cross, but worse yet, separation from the Father. He was pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our sins. The punishment that brought us peace was upon him. By His wounds we are healed.

No doubt, Good Friday was confusing for the disciples. They were still clinging to the idea that He was headed to Jerusalem to become its physical king.

This was despite the fact that He had told them plainly that He would be handed over to the chief priests, suffer, die, and be raised 3 days later.

There are times in life, like now, where God’s plan seems confusing and doesn’t make sense. We can rest easy knowing that our Father in Heaven is not bound by this world or our expectations.

He has unlimited power and has our best interest in mind. He cares for our greatest needs first and has already solved our biggest problem.
His plan may not always make sense to us, but we know our eternity is secure in Him!

Love And Mission

The Passover Meal

Today in the timeline of Holy Week, we see the preparation for Passover and Judas betraying Jesus.

We know this was no surprise to The Lord because he mentions it clearly five verses later, “…one of you will betray me.”

Despite this, Jesus eats the Passover meal with His disciples. It’s important to remember that Peter verbally denies connection to Jesus and the rest abandon Him also once he is arrested.

How could He stand to share a meal with the 12 closest people to Him that would all betray or abandon Him?

I would propose 2 reasons. He loved them unconditionally and He was committed to His mission.

We know from Romans 5:8 the kind of love we are dealing with. It’s the kind of love the reaches into the darkest pit and rescues.

We know His mission in 2 Corinthians 5:21. He is reconciling the world to His Father. This mission included death, even death on a cross.

Because of His love and His commitment to the mission, though we were once in darkness we are now seated at His table in the presence of His glorious light!

Praise God that He didn’t let betrayal stand In the way of His love and mission. We ought to do the same.

Have a blessed Holy Wednesday!

Commit Your Spirit

Brian — Fri, 27 Mar 2020 13:04:07 +0000

Crucified With Christ

When we hear, “Into your hand I commit my spirit” it reminds us of what Christ said on the cross before He died.

Most of us will not experience crucifixion ourselves and yet the Bible tells us we were crucified with Christ.

The old man in us was put to death and the new man resurrected. Though we forget this at times, His word and children remind us.

Paul instructs us to “present our bodies as a living sacrifice; holy and pleasing to God” (Romans 12:1)

It is a powerful statement to commit your spirit to something. I urge you brothers and sisters to do that today.

Commit your spirit to Christ and do the work that he has commanded you to do (Matthew 28:18-20).

Love,serve, and disciple others with all your time, energy, and resources. This world is not our home. Let’s live like we understand that!

Frozen To The Ground

Brian — Wed, 11 Mar 2020 14:07:41 +0000

Let Him Order The Steps

Sunday was 65 degrees and sunny. I was looking for an excuse to break the bike out of its prison (the garage).

We needed to meet a friend to pick up some things small enough to fit in a backpack. You already see where I am going with this.

My plan quickly formed in my head to get the bike fired up and get the first ride of the season in.

Long story short, it didn’t start. When I finally got it started and moved it to our cement slab I was out of time. Then we had freezing rain and the bike froze to the ground.

Life is like this; filled with potential disappointments and detours and freezing to the ground moments. God is always teaching, especially in those moments.

We can make the best of plans with good intentions even (not like my self-serving ones for my bike). Ultimately, the Lord orders our steps.

Would we really want it any other way? He is always desiring what’s best for us. He is the only One truly for us!

The next time your plans are thwarted, remember, He is ordering your steps for His glory. Embrace it and “ride” with intention and joy; grateful that He is at work.

Have an amazing day!
