The Purpose

12/10/2022

Day 18: “Experiencing Life Together.”

“Point to Ponder: I need others in my life.”

“Share each other’s troubles and problems, and in this way obey the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2 (NLT)

This chapter hits home hard for me. Over this last year, being involved in church has been my lifeline.

When my dad died.
When my grief was too much to handle on my own.
When I was handed divorce papers.
When I needed somewhere to live.
When it was all I could do to just get out of bed.

God surrounded me with the most amazing people right in the midst of my biggest battles. I could’ve shut down and shut them out. But God kept telling me to be vulnerable, to be honest, and to continue walking with Jesus. I remember praying everyday to not let the things that were going on in my personal life affect my relationship with others. I didn’t want to overgeneralize the hurt I was feeling and shut down completely.

When I felt alone, God sent me people who had been through it too.
When I felt angry, God sent me people to calm me down.
When I felt unlovable, God sent me people to tell me that I am loved.
When I felt overwhelmed, God sent me people to help.

I have made friends, in this hardest year of my life, that I know will last for a lifetime. I have grown so much in my relationship with God. Which in turn has made me love others deeper than ever before.

I am alive and thriving and on fire for Jesus.
I am so stinking grateful for this hard gut wrenching year.
I am so thankful for my church and my amazing church family.
It is so overwhelmingly amazing to be able to serve Jesus in all that I do.
Friends, we are so much better together.

Day 17: “A Place to Belong”

“Point to Ponder: I am called to belong, not just believe.”

“In Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” Romans 12:5 (NIV)

I hear it all the time. “I am spiritual but I am just not religious.”

That justification for staying out of church. Saying I know I am saved but as far as church goes, I don’t want to be apart of it.

Maybe there is a great feeling of judgement when they walk through church doors.
Or they feel out of place.
Or they don’t feel welcomed.
Or they don’t want to try.
Maybe church times conflict with their schedule.
Or they just prefer to watch church online because it is convenient.
Or they are just out of the habit of going.
Or it is their one day to get to sleep in.
Maybe the pastor has a funny accent.
Or doesn’t say the prayer you like.
Or says the prayer you don’t believe is biblical.
Or they are too much of a sinner to lead a church.
Maybe their friends and family wouldn’t ever go so they don’t go either.
Or someone they don’t like goes to the church they would go to.
Or they don’t want to go to church with their ex.
Or they don’t want to be seen.
Maybe they hate the music.
Or they think they can play the piano better.
Or the worship leader doesn’t dress the way they like.
Or the music is too loud.
Maybe there are a million and one other reasons and excuses to not be in church.

In the Book of Haggai, the Jewish people had just returned to Judea after spending about 70 years of exile in Babylon. The temple lay in ruins and because of their exile, they hadn’t adequately atoned for their sins for well over 70 years. The longer the temple lay in ruins, the longer the separation from God. But the people busied themselves, working hard to provide for their own families. Building their own houses, planting food but not ever having enough, clothing themselves but never feeling warm. Then God sent Haggai to the Jewish people to have them realize that they are working all day and all night to no avail. God wanted them to rebuild his temple so they could be close to him again. God wanted them to sacrifice time and work for his glory. God wanted to the one to provide for them.

Sometimes, we have to get out of our comfort zone in order to develop a relationship.

Friends, God wants to take care of you and he wants to be in relationship with you. But you have to make some sacrifices to develop a relationship. You won’t feel truly connected to God until you are in connection with a body of believers. You may be saved. But are you still living like you are a slave to sin? True commitment to God strives to fulfill his mission that Jesus gave us.
Matthew 28:18-20
“And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always to the end of the age.”

Friends, if you aren’t in church and you want to be. Please reach out to me. If you don’t want to go to my church that is fine. I will still help you find a church that works for you. Get connected. Grow your relationship with God. Grow your relationship with other believers. Let God provide for you. Life has so much more meaning with God.

“Question to Consider: Does my level of involvement in my local church demonstrate that I love and am committed to God’s family?”

Day 16: “What Matter Most”

“Point to Ponder: Life is all about Love.”

“The entire law is summed up in a single command: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” Galatians 5:14 (NIV)

Me again, with defining terms. What does love look like to you? It seems silly but all of us love in vastly different ways. Do you know your love language?

https://5lovelanguages.com/quizzes/love-language

The Five Love Languages that Dr. Gary Chapman talk about are:

Acts of Service
Receiving Gifts
Quality Time
Words of Affirmation
Physical Touch

My two major love languages in how I receive love are Acts of Service and Quality Time. But how I express love is through Acts of Service, Quality Time, and Words of Affirmation. Secretly, it takes me awhile to get to a point where I feel comfortable giving others hugs but because I know many people that love with Physical Touch, I endure. Also, I love GIVING gifts but I don’t really like getting gifts. But however you love, it is important for you to know yourself in that way. Because that is how you can truly teach others to love you and well. Your journey doesn’t stop there though. Identifying the way others love and receive love is important too. Especially for those that you are closest to. You aren’t truly loving someone by assuming what you like is what they like.

But our relationship with God is different. In that, he doesn’t require anything extravagant from you to show your love for him. I feel closest to God and the most love from God when I am serving him, when I am spending quality time with him with or without others, and writing to glorify him.

One of the major ways God shows his love for us is through grace.

When I get “too busy” to spend time with him. He doesn’t lose his temper with me.
When I get distracted by the world. He doesn’t say “Ashley not this again” or “Come back down to Earth.”
When I do something that doesn’t glorify him. He doesn’t shame or condemn me.

It reminds me of the story of Jesus and Peter in John 21.
This is right after Jesus had appeared to the disciples after he had been crucified.
Before that, Peter had denied Jesus 3 times.
And Jesus asked Peter if he loved him three different times.
Peter told Jesus “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.”
Jesus said “Feed my sheep.”

Friends, Jesus doesn’t condemn you. He is saying let’s get going from here.
Figure out in which ways you love and use them to glorify God. You’ll never regret it.

“Question to Consider: Honestly, are relationships my first priority? How can I ensure that they are?”

Day 15: “Formed for God’s Family”

“Point to Ponder: I was formed for God’s Family.”

“His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 1:5A

Baptism is still a very debated conversation within the religious communities. Many churches believe many different things. What is the requirement? Do you have to be baptized in order to go to heaven?

There really isn’t anyway to go about this chapter except to talk about that very thing. Baptism. What is it? And is it necessary?

First, I would like to make a distinction. There are two different types of baptism that the Bible talks about.
Water baptism which is supposed to be an outward expression of an internal change. A symbolic gesture of repentance. We learned about water baptism through the ministry of John the Baptist:
Matthew 3:11-12
“I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”

And Spiritual baptism which is what truly seals you as a Child of God and allows for the Holy Spirit to indwell you.
Romans 8:1-11
“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.”

The Bible talks a lot about how people will do the things that they believe will put them in good standing with God but that there was never truly an internal change.
Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’”

For this reason, at times, the religious symbolic gesture of water baptism makes people believe that they are truly saved. When in reality, the only one that can baptize you is Jesus himself. This goes against what many churches teach. Some churches will work to scare people into getting baptized. Some churches will condemn others for not getting baptized. Some churches will brag about how many people they are baptizing. Be aware dear friends. The Bible warns about these very things.
1 Timothy 4
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer. If you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed. Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance. For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe. Command and teach these things. Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching. Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you. Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress. Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.

True baptism is only found when you believe that Jesus is Lord.
Romans 10:9-13
“because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

But we are HUMAN and we need more proof!

The thief on the cross is everyone’s go-to.
Luke 23:39-43
“One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!” But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

But the thief on the cross is not the only exception to the religious rule of water baptism. In fact, Jesus performed many miracles and signs throughout his life and ministry that allowed people to truly believe in him and be baptized in the spirit. References to this can be found all throughout the 4 gospels in the bible.

Something that stands out to me, however, is the variations in the way he healed the blind.
In Matthew 9, Jesus first asked two men if they believed that he could heal them. When they said yes, he touched their eyes. Then they could see.
In Mark 8, Jesus spit on the man’s eyes then put his hands on the man twice before the man could see clearly.
In John 9, Jesus spit in the dirt to make mud and then had the man go wash in a pool. Then he could see.
Why the variation? If every time he spit in the dirt and made mud, how many people would try to do it themselves?

Also, if water baptism was a requirement to get to heaven, then Jesus would have spent most of his life baptizing people in water. But he didn’t. Does that mean that Jesus didn’t cause a single person to be saved? Or does it mean that there is no one size fits all for people to believe that he is Lord? There was not one method he focused on because he didn’t want us to believe that it is something that WE can do on our own. We need him. We have to believe in Jesus to be truly baptized.

Make no mistake dear friends. I do believe that water baptism is an outward expression of an internal change. And as referenced previously, in 1 Timothy 4:4-5 “For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.” I believe the Bible clearly shows that when you do something to glorify God, giving him praise and thanksgiving that he will be well pleased.

What is your stance on baptism?

Day 14: "When God Seems Distant"

"Point to Ponder: God is real, no matter how I feel."

"For God has said, "I will never leave you; I will never abandon you." Hebrews 13:5

Have you ever felt like a door has closed and you are waiting in the hallway for another one to open? I call them hallway moments. And while sometimes they don’t last long. Sometimes it feels like you are taking up residence there. Sometimes it is so easy to praise God when things are going good. But what about the times when we don’t feel him, hear from him, or see him?

Can I whisper some hard truth to you today? Hallway moments are necessary for you to grow in your faith in God. God is working on us in the waiting. He didn’t just move on without you. He isn’t punishing you. He isn’t playing mind games with you. He didn’t give up on you. He is helping you grow your faith in him. If we worshipped a God of instant gratification there wouldn’t be much need for faith.

When I face hallway moments, I often ask myself, “If this is as good as it gets, what all do I have to be grateful for?” This question helps me refocus on what matters. It helps me refocus on who matters. I want to be a faithful servant of Jesus. When I am in the hallway of life I want to be able to praise him with everything I have. I don’t want to be too focused on when the next door is going to open for me.

Be so busy praising him in the hallway that when a door opens you can dance your way into that room and make a difference for those you meet there.

Friends, because of Jesus, we NEVER have to face separation from God. REASON # 123239742937594759384571989186498619386912948450439 to be completely in love with that guy.

Day 13: “Worship that pleases God.”

“Point to Ponder: God wants all of me.”

“Love the Lord your God will all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” Mark 12:30 (NIV)

After I read today’s chapter, I took the morning church service in differently. You see, instead of going straight to writing my post, I wanted to really take a good look at how I take in services at church.

I teach youth Sunday school and with this in the back of my head, I struggled a little bit. As we talked about the promise to come in Isaiah 9:6 “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Today we talked in further depth about what it means to have a “Wonderful Counselor.” We touched on many of the concepts that this book is leaning into. It is truly not about me. God wants us to walk in obedience. God wants us to surrender ourselves to him.

But what God revealed to me during this time together is that sometimes it is necessary to just sit in with others and get on their level. Asking them the questions that others don’t typically ask them. Questions specifically about their world. And what you find is people don’t understand true vulnerability because they aren’t often met with compassion and empathy from others. In fact, many people think that they have nothing to offer the world because they aren’t the best at something. Sometimes the compassion and empathy from another is all it takes to encourage someone. Sometimes, it is more important to model the life of Jesus than to talk about it. No, It doesn’t look like a typical bible study room. Or a typical Sunday school class. At times we are sitting on the floor in a circle just sharing hard truths about our worlds and genuinely validating the feelings of others. One thing is for sure, no matter where you are in your willingness to be vulnerable. The safest place to lay something down is at the feet of Jesus.

You might be thinking… How does this relate to worship that pleases God? Friends, worship is not a one size fits all. It is not always about singing and reciting prayers. It doesn’t always have to have bible references or a video to go along with it. It doesn’t always require being in a set building and it doesn’t require you to sit in the same seat every Sunday.

Worshipping God is doing the things you are really good at and somehow at times really bad at for His glory. Sometimes we get so caught up in saying what we get out of church. “The sermon was great this week, I got a lot out of it.” Sound familiar? It does to me I say it almost every week. Which is why this steps on my toes maybe more than it does yours. What if we flipped it? Not in a way to brag or to take credit. But what if we walked out of church saying something like… “Church was really good today… These are all the ways that I got to serve God.”

Our society tells us to constantly do things to make ourselves happy. It is why we search for the things we like and why we are really good at communicating what we don’t like.
God tells us to serve him. Oh but dear friend, don’t think for one second that he won’t take what you give, multiply it, and give it back to you. Because he wants you to do it again.

More of you, God.
Less of me.

“Question to Consider: Which is more pleasing to God right now - my public worship or my private worship? What will I do about
this?”

www.purposedriven.com/day13

In Chapter 13, we’re talking about worship that pleases God. And the kind of worship that pleases God has nothing to do with the style of worship. The Bible says that there are two qualifications for worship that is pleasing to God. Those that worship God, must worship him in spirit and in truth.

12/03/2022

Day 12: “Developing Your Friendship with God.”

“Point to Ponder: l’m as close to God as I choose to be.”

“Draw close to God, and God will draw close to you.” James 4:8A (NLT)

I secured my salvation with Christ many many many years ago… but I’ve also been a lukewarm Christian for most of my life as well. I don’t remember ever not having the knowledge that there was a God that loved me beyond the measure that of any human heart would be capable. However, I have fallen prey to the many distractions in life that pulled me away from obtaining the kind of relationship I have with Him now. I am so beyond grateful for this relationship… that no matter how distracted I get, how many mistakes I make, how many times I turn my back He still remains.

What changed for me though is the real message here. I stopped relying on myself to be a better Christian and stopped punishing myself when I forgot to read the Bible. I started asking God to put the desire in me to know him more. I asked him to reveal to me the things that stood in my way. I asked him to help me to effective in my study when I took the time. I asked him to help me to be a light in the world for him.

I could shout it from the rooftops… When what you want is in line with God’s will, YOU CAN BE SURE HE WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN! He wants to be close to you.

You want to be better about reading the Bible? Great ask him! But be forewarned that you will do crazy things like read all 4 gospels in 4 days. He is so funny that way.

If you want to be back in church, ask him to help you have the desire. But also be forewarned because he will give you an entire family that love and want you around.

If you want to deepen your prayer life, ASK HIM! But be forewarned that God’s definition of prayer doesn’t look like ours. Sometimes it is as simple as, instead of talking to yourself for expert advice you’ll start talking to God constantly. Because what better expert to consult that the MAKER himself!

Friends, drawing close to God is a personal choice. But don’t feel like you are alone in the legwork. God wants to be your strength.

Day 11: "Becoming Best Friends with God"

"Point to Ponder: God wants to be my best friend."

"Friendship with God is reserved for those who reverence him." Psalm 25:14A (LB)

Nothing quite says "I love you" like a 90s R&B song. 😂

When this song came out as a single in 1999, we would listen to it on repeat in my mom's car or at full blast volume on a CD walkman. I remember thinking that it was the coolest thing to think of Jesus being my best friend.

You know the thing I love most about being besties with Jesus?

God knows I don't deserve it. But because of Jesus I am redeemed.

Day 10: “The Heart of Worship”

“Point to Ponder: The heart of worship is surrender.”

“Surrender your whole being to him to be used for righteous purposes.” Romans 6:13B (TEV)

If you are like me, the word surrender may make you utterly sick to your stomach. When I think of surrender, I think about someone waving a white flag and saying that they quit. I wasn’t raised to be a fighter but I am one. And quitting goes against everything that my prideful flesh desires to be.

In the last few years, I have grown exponentially in my relationship with God. I have learned so much about who God is and why he is so so GOOD. Then as you know, God put it on my heart last year to take the next step and walk in obedience with him. One step closer to surrendering my heart to him. But y’all I am so stubborn. I knew that to live a spirit led life you have you put yourself to the side. BUT how???

I had been adamantly praying the same prayer over and over. It says in Ezekiel 36:26 “And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.” This bible verse was at the center of my prayer for 7 long and testing months. What some of you don’t know, is that the person I loved with my whole entire heart closed his heart off to me. It is one of the hardest things in the world to watch your very best friend fall out of love with you. But God… while I was persistently praying for a softened heart, God was working on me. Showing me the areas that I can grow and continue to be molded for his will and his glory.

I would like to tell you here that after 7 months, God softened the hardened heart towards me but instead he softened mine. On May 1 of 2022, I changed my prayer from “God please soften his heart of stone” to “God if it is not your will, I don’t want it.” I was waving my white flag. I was ready to surrender.

The life I worked so hard to build, came crashing down around me. God revealed to me all the things and people that I had in my life that were holding me back from him. But friends, there will not be rain without rainbows. You see, even though this year has been more than I can handle on my own, God held me so close. And he has sent me the most amazing and wonderful people to fill my time with and to pour into. God has shown me how much my story matters and how much I can use my story to help others. God has taught me how beautiful surrender and vulnerabilty can be.

My sweet friends,
God is your strength, so do not be afraid to be weak.
God is your refuge, so never be afraid of the storms of life.

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Come, behold the works of the LORD, how he has brought desolations on the earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire. “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” Psalm 46

Day 9: “What makes God smile?”

“Point to Ponder: God smiles when I trust him.”

“The LORD is pleased only with those who worship him and trust his love.” Psalm 147:11 (CEV)

Last year, when going through this study, day 9 was the day God revealed to me that my guiding word for this year (2022) needed to be obedience. If you know me well then you know that obedience is definitely not my strong suit. I am learning more and more everyday to walk obediently with Jesus. But because of my extreme desire to be in and stay in my comfort zone, it is not easy. With this being my guiding word, when I face anything uncertain I ask myself, “what response or action here is going to lead me into being obedient to God?” Friends, if you want to be humbled take a good look at how obedient you are to the LORD.

I also want to stress how extremely grateful I am that God chose this to be my word for this year. Because even though I haven’t consistently walked in obedience, I have grown a lot in my ability to be obedient. And it has taken me places that I would have never imagined for myself.

It has changed my outlook on what is important in life.
It has changed my career plans.
It has changed my ministry.
It has changed my living situation.
It has changed my relationships with others.
It has changed my mindset.
It has changed the way I love.
It has changed the way I see others.
It has changed my relationship with Jesus.
It has transformed me into a stronger disciple for the glory of God.
It has changed my everything.

While I still have a ton to learn, I believe that God is pretty pleased with the progress and work he has done within me this year. It has definitely been a year of growth and I consider it all joy.
