🔥 Mid-Week Meditation 🔥Unashamed - Romans 1:16-17

Years ago, starting out in life, I worked full-time in entertainment as an artist. Around such people, who being open-minded meant being open to anything BUT the Gospel. Many times, conversations would erupt with content directly opposed to the life-giving truth that lived in my heart, eliciting visceral reactions in me. I have a distinct memory of talking with someone who was examining the apps on my iPod (a new technology back then), seeing the Bible app, and pointing it out curiously. Brilliant! An open door! But, instead of boldly sharing my faith with someone I knew was lost, I breezed by the comment and let the door shut right in my face. That moment took place almost twenty years ago, and I remember it like it was yesterday. There was no threat of death or danger for me to discuss my faith in Jesus. There was no cost to pay, except perhaps to my pride. What shame I felt about not taking that moment to share the good news of Jesus.

As Children of God, our identity is found in Jesus, and Jesus is the Gospel. The Apostles, alongside the early Church, understood the value of the Gospel. So much so that the cost of boldly presenting Him to the world was worth paying, often with harsh persecution, imprisonment, and, for most of the Apostles, their very lives. They lived unashamed and proved it.

Paul endured a great many hardships and also accomplished many great works for the sake of the Gospel and still counted his life as nothing to himself—"However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.” Acts 20:24

Self-denial is the foundation of all boldness and living unashamed for Christ [the Gospel]. A spirit of shame fills someone who thinks too highly of themselves. Boldness is not a personality trait; it is the work of the Holy Spirit. A work that is established when we pay the price of our pride for the sake of the Gospel. Which is achieved when our heart's posture reflects the words ofJohn the Baptist: “He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30

🔥 Mid-Week Meditation 🔥 Belonging To Christ - Romans 1:1-7

When you hear the word “salad,” you think, “healthy,” right? An image of leafy greens, layered with various toppings, comes to mind. However, a salad is actually, according to the definition, an incongruous mixture, or a hodgepodge—a mess really. A salad can be beneficial, sure, but then you start to stray from the idea of healthy when things like dessert, candy, or junk food salads are on the menu. There’s even such a thing as a “word” salad. A phrase used when speech isn’t coming together in a way that makes sense to listeners. A salad is when you choose a base and top it with whatever random things appeal to you. Which is fine, if that’s what you want for lunch, but it is completely wrong for the use of the Gospel.

For centuries, believers have built their theology from many different influences, creating for themselves a “Gospel salad.” Don’t believe me? Think about how much of what you understand or believe about God comes straight from His word versus the various resources available to you. Many people try to top God’s Word with what they already know: Gospel Salad. Using the Bible as a bed of lettuce and then topping it with random pieces that appeal to them to create the meal that best suits them.

I am in no way trying to disparage the use of resources. I am, however, trying to shine light on the power and grace within the true Gospel (God’s own words) as Paul did. Paul begins in Romans, addressing his readers as a “bondservant” to Christ. He’s willingly accepting his identity as belonging entirely to Christ. For Paul, there was nothing but Christ. God’s Word was the entire meal. And I believe that, for many of us, this approach is sorely lacking in our lives; we crave the “Gospel salad” more than we crave Christ being entirely enough for us. Paul reminds us in Romans 1 that the Gospel is already complete, good, and ready to share. In our search for a good meal, may we remember Paul’s recipe in Romans 14:7-8. We either belong to Christ's grace or we belong to His judgment, and the way to belong to His grace is to satisfy ourselves with His Word.

🔥 Mid-Week Meditation 🔥 Surprised by Grace - Acts 11:19-26, 4:36-37

We’ve all experienced it: Being “down in the dumps,” when an unexpected, random encouraging word changes everything. Perhaps you responded, “You just made my day!” What started as burdensome introspection quickly becomes lighter with one word of encouragement. It’s a powerful thing: Encouragement.

During the establishment of the early church, there was widespread persecution after Stephen was martyred. Christians were scattered and in grave danger. Do you know what kind of men the Holy Spirit used to combat the schemes of the enemy against the Church? Encouragers. One of whom was Joseph, whom the disciples called Barnabas (which means son of encouragement). Could you imagine being given such a name by Christ’s Disciples? Barnabas was completely committed to the Church. God used him to encourage the new believers to keep going, to stay true to the Faith, and the Church grew in number. The book of Acts details remarkable events in which unlikely vessels were used to carry out the birth of Christians. Widespread revival, even in the midst of brutal, deadly persecution, was stoked not by masters of military, or architects of war, but by Holy Spirit-filled encouragers. This should give you some perspective on what God thinks of encouragement.

Encouragement is not the same thing as flattery or compliments. True encouragement not only recognizes things to celebrate, but it also lovingly shines the Light of Truth on darkness. This is only achievable by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is a spiritual gift and one that God uses to turn the tides.

Mothers often excel in this gift. When the battle rages against our families and communities, it is often the encouragement found in the nature of moms that the Holy Spirit uses to stoke the will to endure, to lift the burden of despair, to soothe the chaos, and to refresh the soul. Such a beautiful surprise by grace. Mothers, keep going! Don’t diminish the encourager you are!

El Roi: The One Who Sees Me - Genesis 16:1-16

God has always seen you and always will. One time, when my son was around 2 years old, he was playing in his room on the other side of the house, and I heard a little voice calling my name. At first, his little voice rang out in a usual sing-song way. I replied to his call, but he couldn't hear me. Then, a second time, he called out, this time a little less calm. Finally, I heard my name again, but this time it was a question. After that, I heard the little pitter-patter of bare feet running through the house with his voice raised, now shouting out for me. Coming to meet him, I saw a little boy with tears streaming down his face running into my arms. " I couldn't find you," he said. To which I replied, "I'm here. I've been here the whole time. I heard you every time you called my name."

The story of Haggar is remarkable. She had no say in her life. She wasn't even Jewish; she was an Egyptian handmaiden to Sarai. When Sarai couldn't give Abram a child, she gave her servant, Hagar, to Abram. When Sarai learned Hagar was pregnant, she was harsh and abused Hagar out of jealousy, which led to Hagar fleeing her mistress.

Young, seemingly alone and pregnant in the desert (no doubt in despair), Hagar is greeted by the Lord, and He asks where she was going. She explains her situation, and the Lord tells her to return to her mistress, but He also gives her a promise: “I will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count.” What a grand promise given by God to an Egyptian slave girl. To this, Hagar replies, “[ El Roi] You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.”

Often, we find ourselves in difficult, unfair situations where we feel alone and unseen. However, if the eyes of our Loving Father were on the life of this Egyptian girl, you can rest assured He is watching you. The words of my precious son have stayed with me all these years, as I have journeyed through my own deserts. Sometimes, fleeing what I felt was unfair. Our struggles and pain can tempt us to forget where God is, where He always is: with us. He didn’t go anywhere. He is the God who sees YOU.

🔥 Mid-Week Meditation 🔥 Behold Your King Part 6 - Unity - Act 17:5-7

Lincoln’s “House Divided” speech was one of precise warning against the divisive political and moral state our Nation had found itself in. America had fought for liberation and freedom, something she was not, and would never be, eager to give up. However, what about destruction coming from within her very own walls? The Civil War is responsible for somewhere in the range of 620,000-750,000 deaths. If I’ve done my math correctly, that is more than all of the U.S wars COMBINED! Who could have foreseen a division so great that it would be the deadliest war of our Nation’s history? Jesus could.

Lincoln’s most famous quote is actually Jesus’ own words, found in three of the four gospels: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand” (Matt 12:25). Jesus foresaw such destruction among a divided house. Even a small nation can defend itself against a larger one if they are unified. Read the story of Gideon. But, be warned, history also gives many examples of destruction coming upon a country from within its own walls.

Now, let’s talk about the greatest Kingdom of all. The one that is made up of citizens who were given the truest form of everlasting liberty—Jesus’ very own Church. Is the Church immune to such destruction within her walls? Certainly NOT! No weapon can prevail against the Church when she is unified. However, it is my belief that the craftiest of weapons the enemy uses against the people of God is division. It has been his way since the beginning of time. Lucifer divided heaven when he rebelled against God and was cast down. He divided the Garden when he deceived Eve, and sin entered the world, dividing man from God, and he hasn’t stopped.

Jesus is the healer of division. A unified Church is the vehicle in which Jesus demonstrates His power! We must be vigilant towards the ways the enemy would bring division within our own walls—Gossip, offense, judgment, pettiness, simply not engaging in our church communities, and most of all PRIDE—Never forgetting Jesus’ warning!
