“If then there is any encouragement in Christ, any consolation from love, any sharing in the Spirit, any compassion and sympathy, make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others”—Philippians 2:1-4.

Although most Americans have heard of “The Salvation Army,” many do not know the origin of this church, which is much better known as a charitable organization than an evangelical Christian denomination with its roots in the Methodist movement of John and Charles Wesley. Yet, despite the distinctive military-like uniforms of its leaders, and the widespread good works it performs, it holds Sunday worship services and other religious observances, like all other congregations and faith organizations.

The Salvation Army was founded in England by William Booth, who greatly loved both God and London’s impoverished and needy. He once was arrested for his charitable work in the slums of the British capital. Others who shared Booth’s concerns joined with him and the organization grew rapidly. As its numbers increased, so did its areas of service. The Salvation Army eventually arrived in America to work among the poor here.

Despite his personal desire, Booth was unable to attend one of the conventions of The Salvation Army in the United States. Because he could not speak to the gathered crowd in person, he sent his remarks via telegram. It consisted of a single word: “Others!”

It is an unfortunate fact, but a fact nonetheless, that selfishness is all too common in contemporary American society. Rather than considering what is best for others, or even better for all, some focus on themselves alone. “What’s in it for me?” is their personal motto.

This is a long-standing problem. “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves,” the Apostle Paul admonished the Philippian Christians. “Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others.” My friends, imagine how different our lives, our nation, and our world would be if only most took the inspired words of Paul to heart!

Let us pray: Give me the grace I need, O God, to do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than myself. Let me look not only to my own interests, but to the interests of others, too. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“But if I build up again the very things that I once tore down, then I demonstrate that I am a transgressor. For through the law, I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me”—Galatians 2:18-20.

Baptized as an infant, a young man was reared faithfully in the Roman Catholic Church by his devoted and devout parents. Each week, they took him and his siblings to Mass. Every night, they offered prayers together as a family before bedtime. However, while his brothers and sisters remained faithful as they grew older, this young man wandered away from the church and its teachings.

The young man’s choices and decisions were consistent—consistently foolish and unwise. It seemed he deliberately and happily chose to do the exact opposite of everything his parents endeavored so well to instruct him. Finally, in desperation, they turned to the priest who had baptized their son. The now elderly priest, who was serving in a parish in a nearby city, asked the young man to come to his present church for a visit.

After spending a little time becoming reacquainted, the priest told the young man, “I want you to do something for me. Go into the sanctuary. Near the altar, there is a statue of Christ being crucified. Stand in front of that statue, look into Christ’s face, and shake your fist at him, saying: ‘I’ll do whatever I want to do, whenever I want to do it, and however I want to do it—no matter what you say!’”

The young man was shocked by the priest’s instructions. “Why, Father, I can’t do that!” the young man objected. “Why not?” the priest asked. “After all, it’s what you’re doing every single day of your life!”

Many professing Christians are like that young man. Their walk is not in alignment with their talk. They profess to believe in God. They confess their faith in Christ. But the genuine attitude of their hearts and minds is, “I’ll do whatever I want to do, whenever I want to do it, and however I want to do it—no matter what you say!” Rather than seeking to follow God’s way, and do God’s will, they serve the unholy trinity: Me, myself, and I.

In writing to the Galatians, the Apostle Paul reminded them: “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Because Christ loves us and gave himself for us, the lives we now live should bring glory, honor, and joy to him.

Let us pray: Lord Jesus, I never will fully understand the depth of your suffering for me, or the price of my salvation. However, I do realize the great debt that I owe to you—and my need to choose to live a life worthy of your great sacrifice. Give me the grace I need to serve you faithfully and well, to your glory and honor. In your name I pray. Amen.

“For they have sown the wind and they shall reap the whirlwind”—Hosea 8:7.

Last Saturday (July 13), Americans were confronted with heartbreaking news. An assassin attempted to murder President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. Thankfully, he was not killed and his injuries were treatable. Unfortunately, one person died, and others were wounded.

The United States of America has been and still is the greatest nation in the history of the world. But we are foolish and unwise if we attempt to ignore the stark reality of the dark and difficult days in which we are living. Americans complain daily about economic, educational, political, social and other kinds of problems. While these problems are quite real, their true solution often is ignored and overlooked.

Christians understand that the source of our many challenges and difficulties is ethical, moral and spiritual. As the Hebrew prophet, Hosea, declared: “For they have sown the wind and they shall reap the whirlwind.” There are consequences for choosing to live as many Americans do today—as if God does not exist; as if humans are not ultimately accountable and responsible to him; as if we can do anything and everything we want without any consequences whatsoever.

Any society which rejects the notion of an objective standard of absolute truth—which Christians know to be God’s inerrant, infallible and inspired Word—is a society on a collision course with death, destruction and devastation. It is a society in which political problems are not addressed at ballot boxes, but with assassin’s bullets. It is a society in which the unthinkable becomes not only thinkable, but actual.

Unless and until America becomes “one nation under God” once again, we can expect to see increasing lawlessness across our land. God’s people should be mindful of the Apostle Paul’s inspired words in Romans 13: “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation” (vv. 1-2).

Let us pray: Heavenly Father, we enter your presence with heavy hearts, because we know our nation is facing extremely serious challenges and difficulties. Tragically, the greatest problems we face come not from outside our country, but from within it. We are shocked by the attempted assassination of President Trump. We are grateful this attempt was not successful, but we grieve for those who were injured and killed by the assassin’s bullets. O Lord, what has happened to our nation? In our pledge of allegiance, we declare that we are “one nation, under God, indivisible.” What we need more of and most of is you—your grace, your love, your mercy, your spirit, and your will to sweep over this land so that we might once again be that one nation under God. Help us, O Lord! We need you now more than ever. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“As for me, I am already being poured out as a libation, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. From now on there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have longed for his appearing”—2 Timothy 4:6-8.

During the Communist persecution of the church in the former Soviet Union, the following story comforted, encouraged, and instructed Christians who were suffering greatly for their faith. According to the story, underground Christians met one Sunday for church in a home. Singing their favorite hymns fervently but quietly, they were concerned when a knock came at the door. They closed and hid their hymnals, as well as their Bibles.

When the door was opened, two soldiers burst in with loaded weapons, drawn and ready. “If you do not want to die, you will leave this house—now!” one shouted. Two persons immediately got up and left. A few moments later, another exited. Before a minute had passed, two more also fled for their lives. The rest of the small group remained—willing to pay the ultimate price for their religious convictions.

One soldier closed and locked the door. Unsurprisingly, the tension in the house was high. The remaining Christians anxiously awaited their fate. The first solider who entered then smiled, extended his hand, and said: “I, too, am a Christian.” After shaking hands with his sisters and brothers, he apologized and explained: “I am sorry to cause you such fear; but I have learned that, if persons leave when I enter in such a way, I cannot trust them.”

What sacrifice, if any, are we willing to make for those persons and principles we hold dearest and love most? We give God thanks for women and men, past and present, who have chosen to answer our nation’s call to military service, securing freedom for us and others around the world. We are humbled to learn of experiences such as those of our fellow Christians in the former Soviet Union, who could be killed simply because they believed in and worshiped Jesus Christ.

Thankfully, most of us will never be called upon to give up our very lives for our faith, our family, or our nation. Yet will we also be able to declare, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith”? For what—or for whom—are we choosing to live? Do we love God more than the comforts of life? Do we love our family more than the comforts of life? Do we love our nation more than the comforts of life? Is there anything for which we are willing to give our all, other than ourselves and our own selfish interests?

Let us not forget that “there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have longed for his appearing”!

Let us pray: O God, I hope never to be called upon to suffer for you. However, if asked, may I be willing to sacrifice what I hold dear on behalf of you and those I love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“Some give freely yet grow all the richer; others withhold what is due, and only suffer want. A generous person will be enriched, and one who gives water will get water….If the righteous are repaid on earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner!”—Proverbs 11:24-25, 31.

A little boy was delighted when his classmate and friend, who lived in town, made a visit to see him at his parents’ farm. As they played in the backyard, one of the family’s cattle stuck its head over the fence. The face she made while she chewed her cud prompted much laughter by the two boys.

“That cow belongs to me,” the little boy proudly told his classmate. “Wow!” his friend responded. “Does she give milk?” “No, not really,” the boy answered. “We have to take it from her.”

Some persons are like that cow—whatever good they produce must be taken from them, even like milk from a cow. They only choose to speak good words, or choose to do good deeds, if they perceive their words or deeds somehow will benefit them materially or personally.

It was people choosing to think and live in such a manner that the writer of Proverbs reminded: “Some give freely yet grow all the richer; others withhold what is due, and only suffer want….If the righteous are repaid on earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner!”

God never fails to bless, enrich, and prosper the lives of anyone and everyone giving freely of their talents, time, and treasure in service to God and their fellow human beings: “A generous person will be enriched,” Proverbs declares, “and one who gives water will get water.” Everything we are, and everything we have, are gifts of God to us. When we joyfully and willingly share them with others, we create room in our lives for even more of God’s best and brightest blessings.

My friends, it simply is not possible to be more expansive or generous in giving than God!

Let us pray: Generous God of Great Gifts, give us the grace we need both to believe and act upon your way, will, and words. Open our hearts to share the talents, time, and treasure you have so lovingly provided to us with others, blessing them even as you have blessed us. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; for in him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers—all things have been created through him and for him. He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything”—Colossians 1:15-18.

The Italian genius and polymath, Leonardo da Vinci, rightfully is highly regarded and well known for a great many things, including the “Mona Lisa,” as well as his conception of a possible “flying machine” that later inspired the development of airplanes. However, his famous painting of “The Last Supper” is widely considered his masterpiece.

Once da Vinci finished “The Last Supper,” he summoned a fellow artist to evaluate his work. Overwhelmed by the painting’s magnificence, his friend stammered as he attempted to find the words to communicate his high esteem for it. “The chalice is exquisite!” he exclaimed. “Nothing in the painting is more beautiful!”

Upon hearing his friend’s comment, da Vinci quickly resumed painting, immediately removing the chalice from the picture. “What are you doing?” his stunned friend asked in disbelief. “This is a painting of the Lord and for the Lord,” da Vinci explained. “Nothing must detract or distract from him.”

An overwhelming majority of Americans profess to believe in God. Among them, Americans who profess to believe in Jesus as Savior and Lord also are a majority. Therefore, most Americans acknowledge the presence of God and Jesus in their lives. Most likely would declare that God also is prominent in their lives.

God may be present and even may be prominent—but is God preeminent? Simply put, does God come first in anything and everything? Writing to the Colossian Christians, Paul declared that God’s will is for Jesus “to have first place in everything.” This means that the most important question we can ask regarding any choice or decision in life is, simply, “What would Jesus do?” Jesus is our example. God calls us to elevate him and exalt him in all that we think, all that we say, and all that we do.

Let us pray: We thank you, O God, for what you have done for us in Jesus’ life and death, and what you can do through us in Jesus’ power and strength. May we make him the center of our lives, always putting him first. In his name we pray. Amen.

“I know what it is to have little, and I know what it is to have plenty. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being well-fed and of going hungry, of having plenty and of being in need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me….And my God will fully satisfy every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen”—Philippians 4:12-13, 19-20.

A landscape contractor was hired to plant the grass at a new office complex. When he received the plans from the architect, he was confused. The plans did not show where the sidewalks would be located, so he contacted the architect for clarification.

“I am ready to begin work, but I need to know where the sidewalks will be,” the landscape contractor explained. “Don’t concern yourself with that right now,” the architect replied. “You plant the grass, and I’ll take care of the sidewalks.” The landscape contractor did as he was instructed.

Several months later, the landscape contractor returned to the complex, as he had an appointment with one of the new occupants. As he entered the building, he unexpectedly met the architect. “The complex looks great,” the landscape contractor said. “When did you construct the sidewalks? It looks like they are brand new.” “They are brand new,” he answered. “After I saw the paths made by the people entering the building, I knew what their needs were. That’s when I was able to construct the sidewalks.”

My friends, that’s exactly how God works in our lives, too. We have needs. When God knows our needs, God responds to them, providing for all of our needs according to the divine plans and purposes for our lives. God does not promise to give us everything we want, because not everything we want is good for us, or in accord with the divine way and will. But God promises that we will have anything and everything we really and truly need!

Writing to the Philippians, the Apostle Paul reminded them: “My God will fully satisfy every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Are you afraid? Ask God for faith. Are you confused? Ask God for guidance. Are you discouraged? Ask God for comfort. Are you ill? Ask God for healing. Are you troubled? Ask God for peace. Whatever our needs may be, God can meet them—and will!

Let us pray: Help me, O God, to trust you—absolutely, completely, and totally trust you—for anything and everything that I really and truly need. I have your assured promise that, if I only will ask, you can and will meet my every need. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“He called the crowd with his disciples, and said to them, ‘If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it. For what will it profit them to gain the whole world and forfeit their life? Indeed, what can they give in return for their life?”—Mark 8:34-37.

I once met a man who explained that his personal philosophy regarding his business, his faith, and his life was based upon the Bible. He summed it up for me with the following four words—anyone, anything, anytime, and anywhere.

“Anyone, no matter how insignificant or small they may seem, can be used by God to accomplish great things,” he said. “There are many from good family backgrounds, who have good educations, and who have good professional experience, who accomplish comparatively little. What matters most, and what God can use best, are people who are willing to do what God calls them to do.”

“Anything, no matter how humble or modest it may seem, can become great when God calls us to do it, and we do it for God’s glory and honor alone,” he added. “No truly successful person thinks anything is ‘beneath them,’ because the only things that successful people are unwilling to do are those things that are dishonest, illegal, or unethical.”

“Anytime is a good time to begin doing what God has called us to do,” he continued. “There are many who think they are too young or too old, who think they are too this or too that. When we know that God has called us to do something, that’s when we should do it—because God never calls us to do anything without also providing us with everything we need to accomplish it.”

“Anywhere is the right place to answer God’s call to action,” he explained. “You can be in the palace or the poorhouse; a big city or a small town; in an office or an open field. You don’t need to be in a particular place to do God’s will. You can start wherever you are, and then follow God wherever you are led to go.”

Good and wise counsel indeed! “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me,” Jesus stated. “For those who want to save their life will lose it…For what will it profit them to gain the whole world and forfeit their life?”

Let us pray: O God, may I be consistent and faithful in choosing to do what you have called me to do—anything, anytime, and anywhere. By your grace, and in your strength, I can accomplish every plan and purpose you have for my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“Only live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that, whether I come and see you or am absent and hear about you, I will know that you are standing firm in one spirit, striving side by side with one mind for the faith of the gospel, and are in no way intimidated by your opponents”—Philippians 1:27-28.

The advertising director for a major newspaper was walking back to her office from lunch and passed by a beautiful large downtown church. She noticed Jesus’ words from Matthew 10:8 were chiseled in large letters on the marble cornerstone of the cathedral. While she was reading the scripture, one of the staff ministers approached her. “Is there anything I can help you with?” he politely inquired.

“Yes,” the advertising director said, pointing at the cornerstone. “I was just reading these words—‘Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils.’ Do you really practice these things at this church?” “No, no, certainly not,” the minister replied defensively, shaking his head. “That’s just something that was put on that cornerstone when the building was constructed, because it sounded good.” “I see,” she said. “But isn’t that false advertising?”

As the advertising director knew well, when we lack consistency between what we say and what we choose to do, we are engaging in a form of false advertising. “Talk is cheap,” as the old saying goes. The values we verbalize are verified only by the lives we choose to live. If we say we believe something, then there should be consistency between what we say we believe and what we actually choose to do. Our talk should be consistent with our walk.

“Only live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ,” Paul wrote to the Philippians, “so that, whether I come and see you or am absent and hear about you, I will know that you are standing firm in one spirit.” The apostle realized something important that all too many miss—whether from personal observation, or by reputation, others know from our actions if we really and truly are who we profess to be!

Let us pray: Help me, O Lord, to consistently live according to what I profess to believe. Give me the grace I need to do what is pleasing and right in your sight, being a faithful and fruitful servant for you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
