Pastor's Pen | Inner Strength To Be Content

“I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”
~ Philippians 4:13

The key context regarding this famous verse we often quote is being content in any and every circumstance. Whether we are poor or rich we can be content. We can have contentment whether we are hungry or well fed.

The secret of contentment is trust in God.

- Our sinful nature fights against not getting what we want.

- Our broken corrupt nature greedily hangs onto things when we do get them.

Contentment is only possible when we live for the next world, the next life and for Christ.

When we are filled with Christ then we do not have to fill up our lives with other things.

When things are taken away from us, we can choose to rejoice in the Lord. This means thanking Him for all the many eternal things we are blessed with which will never be taken from us.

When we are filled with good things we rejoice in the riches we have in Christ and then refuse to worry about losing all our nice things. We make sure we don’t place too high a value on the things we own or have at our disposal. We give to those in need.

Next time you quote this verse remember it is all about trusting in Christ to give us strength to both accept the loss of this world’s goods and to hang lightly onto and share these very same things when we are abundantly blessed with material provisions.

We can be content whether our hands are full or empty, whether we have food to spare or have an empty fridge. We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength.

Pastor's Pen | A Shaft of Light

8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8

In this passage we are encouraged to value the truth and to reject deception. We must move away even from self deception. The capacity to be self deceived is too often overlooked and underestimated.

We can absolutely convince ourselves that a direction in our thinking is the best way to proceed. We can be so entrenched in our self deception that we filter out anything that anyone says that might be in stark contrast to it.

It is right at this point that God in His mercy employs the concept of the shaft of light.

Shaft of Light Concept

God will not leave us in a place of self deception if we are truly willing to discover the truth in a matter. As much as we might be shutting ourselves off from the light, He will always allow a tiny shaft of divine truth to flicker in.

We have to be willing to look at where that flicker of light is coming from. If it is from the word of God, from a Christian brother or sister or a Christian book, podcast or video then it is much more likely to be from God.

It is possible though to be deceived by “bursts of light” from other sources but they are of a different “hue” and will feed the sinful nature instead of leading us to the truth. We need discernment in this area.

We must plead for the light of Christ, immerse ourselves in the Word of God and be willing to drop off deception when it becomes clear we have been hoodwinked.

This will usually mean some emotional pain and a refusing to let our emotions have the upper hand.

The peace that living in the truth brings is worth the cost and will lead to freedom in many areas of our lives.

What we set our minds on matters.

After two weeks of learning how to bring our worries to God, this Sunday we turn to what comes next: what are we choosing to dwell on?

Join us as we discover how setting our minds on what is true and noble can shape the way we think, live and respond.

Pastor's Pen | "Nothing"

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:6-7

The first word in verse 6 in the original Greek is “nothing.”

It literally is a composite word meaning “not even one.”

Perhaps this is why it starts with “Nothing”

There is absolutely nothing that God cannot solve in any and every situation we find ourselves in. All we are asked to do is believe He can do it and stop trying to solve it ourselves. He is the God of the impossible and no person is excluded who believes in His promises.

We can be very inclined though to interpret the bible in certain ways that deny the power of the God breathed word that it is.

We can cling to any of the following fallacies;

1. It was for a people of another time. Yet the word of God is for all believers at all times.

2. We are not the original recipients so we can never really understand what it says. Yet in a way that is beyond our understanding, the divine author has given us in every part of the bible everything we need no matter what culture or time period we live in.

3. The world today is more complex so it can’t mean “all things.” Yet this limits our Awesome God who is outside of time and for whom nothing is impossible.

4. My situation is much more tangled than the normal so it doesn’t apply to me. This is the voice of unbelief speaking. Grasp the promises by faith and see what difference it makes.

5. My sin is too great for God to really deal in my situation. The cross has removed the sin barrier completely and we are now loved children of God at all times.

6. My emotions have swamped me so I can’t even begin to do anything like this at the moment. Faith is greater than our emotions and is not dependent on them.

When we trust God with all our worries, the promise is that the peace of God will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Choose to live by faith in the word of God and experience a life where peace stands guard over your inner being.

Pastor's Pen | Be Gentle Because The Lord Is Near

5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Philippians 4:5

The Greek word for “near” or “nigh” is mainly translated in the context of something about to happen. It is not used in the sense of something that has been there for some time and is still very close. The stronger way of grasping this verse is to see it as referring to Christ’s return rather than His inner presence as important as that is.

How does the return of Christ then connect with Gentleness? At His return all that is faith will become sight. Our love for Christ is expressed by daily submitting to whatever the Father prepares for us to become more like his Son. To desire to rid ourselves of all that is not “Christ-like” is what it means to be a follower of Christ. We want to be people who have lived to please Him and obeyed Him and become more like Him. He is the lover of our soul. He is our only true soulmate.

When He returns Jesus will be looking for Gentle People!

When we rid ourselves of sinful habits and practices by looking to Christ, we become gentle and humble like Christ is and we are ready then to “look up for our salvation draws nigh.”

This drawing near of the return of Jesus Christ is described by Christ Himself in Luke 21:

25 There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among the nations, bewildered by the roaring of the sea and the surging of the waves. 26 Men will faint from fear and anxiety over what is coming upon the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 When these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.

5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Philippians 4:5

Pastor's Pen | Truth and Unity Go Hand in Hand

This is one of the most crucial tension truths we have to learn to navigate.

2 I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. - Phil 4:2

It is a true biblical tension, as we must not just be balanced (50/50) but actually give each aspect our total attention which means 100% of each.

WE DON’T COMPROMISE TRUTH

WE DON’T DIMINISH UNITY

This naturally causes us to define very carefully what truth is and what unity is. We cannot just be a “truth church” or a “unity church” as Christ does not permit such a dichotomy. Truth is the person, the life, the words and the work of Christ. The gospel then is the good news about the person, life, words and work of Christ. By believing the Truth we are born again and become members of the family of God. We turn from the lies of the world, the flesh and of the devil and we embrace instead the truth that is in Christ and His work.

Sanctify them by the truth is what Christ prayed in John 17.

Unity is revealed to us in the perfect union that exists between Father, Son and Spirit. Unity then is a selfless giving to all other members of the body of Christ with our whole heart and mind.

It is a recognition that we are all children of Abba Father.

It is understanding that this love relationship is forever.

It is knowing that it is God’s choice (and not ours) who becomes a fellow son and daughter.

It is knowing that Christ uses His “hand chosen stones” to build His church and this is not our design!

May they be one as we are one is what Christ prayed for in John 17.
