“Following Jesus and Loving People”

 

How many times have you heard this advice: “Just follow your own heart”? Most people mean by this, “Listen to your own conscience” or “Trust your instincts.” However, there is something fundamentally wrong at the core of this advice. The Bible never tells us to trust our own heart…in fact we are told just the opposite. We are to trust God and what he has spoken and commanded, no matter what our heart says. If we were perfect in wisdom and morals, then trusting ourselves would work. But, something about us is broken. Theologians use the word “fallen”.  In our fallen nature (the “flesh”) we often deceive ourselves and our understanding is darkened. Instead of choosing God’s wisdom, we make decisions based on how we feel at the moment and usually for our own gratification. We pride ourselves in being our own “god” and bristle at the challenge of obeying or following “the God of the Bible”. The tragic consequences of “follow your own heart”  is clearly revealed in the book of Jeremiah. The Israelites, God’s people, gradually turned from reverence and obedience to God, to increasing godlessness. Although many still performed “religious duties”, they were simply going through the motions while persisting in sinful lifestyles. God warned them again and again about the danger of trusting their own hearts. “This is what the Lord says: Look! I am preparing a disaster for you and devising a plan against you. So turn from your evil ways, each one of you, and reform your ways and your actions. But they will reply, ‘It’s no use. We will continue with or own plans; each of us will follow the stubbornness of his evil heart’” (Jeremiah 18:11-12). The times are different, but the choice remains the same today…follow the Lord or follow your own stubborn heart. As believers, you and I must take responsibility for the condition of our hearts. May we repent of anything that grieves the Spirit of God, and choose to enthrone Him as the One who is Lord of all life. This beats “follow your own heart” any day!

“Following Jesus and Loving People”

 

While reading the Book of Isaiah, I notice the great difference between how God speaks to those who seek him and those who don’t. In chapter 58 God addresses those who choose to humble themselves before him and determine to do what is right…in spite of the majority who see no need of God. He said, “You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings” (Isa.58:11b-12).

 

In these verses, I see a message for the people of Highway and Resurrection Life. Even though we are surrounded by many people who forget God, we are not allowed to develop a self-righteous attitude or fall into despair. Instead, the Lord gives us a ministry and even names it. We are first called, “Repairer of Broken Walls.” When a city in Bible times was defeated, the enemy usually destroyed the walls, so it would remain helpless in further battles. A broken wall represents present and future defeat…no safety, no hope. Is not this the experience of so many in our city? However, we are called to repair! Our message is that God forgives and restores. People and circumstances can change. God sees us not only as “Repairers of Broken Walls” but also as, “Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.” An empty street speaks of fear and flight, of people who have given up any hope for the future and have moved on. To see streets filled with people who get along with each other, who are employed, and who have dreams and goals, is a blessing from God. I believe the ministry of the people of Highway and Resurrection Life Church is to bless individuals through the Good News of the Gospel and to help people live productive and purposeful lives. To accomplish this, we need to work together. It’s a great calling, but with our Great God, we can make a difference.

“Following Jesus and Loving People”

 

This past weekend, we had special services and a partnership weekend that highlighted “Next Generation Ministries”! Jesus, in what we call the Great Commission, commanded us to disciple and teach others to “obey everything I have commanded you” (Matt. 28:20). I believe obeying Jesus means we start where we are, with our own “Jerusalem”…the children and youth all around us. To love, pray, and invest in young people assures the growth of God’s kingdom for the years ahead. In a very real sense, the transfer of our Christian values and relationship with Jesus is the best inheritance gift we can ever give. Most people in America want the youth of our nation to succeed, but don’t offer a clear path. Telling them to “just be happy” offers no real wisdom. The “mist” of moral advice coming from today’s leaders creates a “fog” in the hearts of youth. My heart breaks for so many young people I meet who are reaping the results from the lostness of the previous generation. There is HOPE! The Good News of Jesus explodes with truth and power, enabling change that really works. The answers to the great questions of life are found in God’s Word. The writer of Ecclesiastes condensed his advice to the young in one simple statement…“Remember your Creator in the days of your youth” (Ecc. 12:1). Next Generation Ministries is about training and challenging young people to “remember” God in every area of life. The leaders of NGM are followers of Jesus who have discovered that God is faithful and that true life begins with a relationship with God through Jesus. Our desire is for every child and young person to “remember their creator” by loving him each day and living according to his Word. The task is great and sometimes feels overwhelming, but together we can make a difference for eternity. Would you dedicate yourself to “building a family that serves our community”? Let’s start by investing in our greatest resource…the youth!

“Following Jesus and Loving People”

 

Just as water needs heat to boil, relationships need love to grow. Without love, friendships and special relationships slip into a lukewarm state, and eventually cool off. It’s no different with our relationship with God. Yesterday, I finished reading the “Song of Songs” (or, Song of Solomon) which eloquently describes the love of a husband and his bride. It is no stretch to apply what is written in these eight chapters to the relationship between our heavenly groom, the Lord Jesus, and his bride, the church. I notice as I read, a progression of the part of the bride, which seems to parallel the Christian’s love toward God. So many new converts are excited about their new-found love with the Lord, and express it somewhat like the bride does in the Song of Songs 2:16, “My lover is mine and I am his…” Many prayers of new converts start with themselves and are focused on what the Lord can do for them (“my lover is mine”). Although this is natural and not a bad thing, our love needs to grow deeper and more mature. Later in 6:3 we see this progression in the bride’s statement, “I am my lover’s and my lover is mine.” Notice the switch (comparing 2:16 with 6:3) in the opening statements of “ownership” from “my lover is mine” to “I am my lover’s”. The wording here is not an accident, but demonstrates the pathway of growth from self-centeredness to Christ-centeredness. Finally, in 7:10 we read, “I belong to my lover, and his desire is for me.” We can feel the fire here! The bride has progressed to the place where she has no fear in giving herself to her heavenly groom, knowing that he is good and desires what is best for her.

As we grow in the Lord, may we rejoice in being able to think less about ourselves and more about Jesus. The discovery that life is not “all about me” frees us to enjoy the greatest relationship with the One who is our destiny. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength!
