"For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes" (GAL 3:26-27). When a person joins military service, they sign a document in a recruiter's office and are now part of that branch of service. But a more important ceremony happens later after completing basic training. They put on the uniform, raise their right hand and promise to defend their country with their lives if necessary. They are a member of the service when they sign. But putting on the uniform and making that commitment to live or die for their country makes them live in that reality. The person who puts his or her faith in Jesus for forgiveness and new life is a Christian, a "child of God." The person who chooses to obey Christ's command to "be baptized" stands before God and witnesses to promise to serve Christ, love Christ, and live for Christ. Jesus Christ himself is our uniform. We are to look like, act like, love like and forgive like our Lord. "Can a person be a Christian and not be baptized?" Yes, but they are like the person who signed the document in the recruiter's office but never took that public oath. Can a person be a Christian without committing to imitate and obey Jesus Christ? Baptism is more than a religious ritual. It is a public statement that I am choosing to love, obey, and live for Jesus Christ. That makes a huge difference in my relationship with Christ.

Couples sometimes have a vow renewal service, repeating the vows of love, honor, faithfulness, and commitment they made years before when they were married. Every time Christians remember Christ's death and resurrection in communion or at a baptism they remember their first love of Christ. When Christians begin to think and act like non-believers it is a result of forgetting why they love and serve Jesus Christ. We need these reminders and opportunities to renew our commitment to love and serve Jesus Christ.

"Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning— lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake” (MAR 13:35-37)." Jesus warned repeatedly that He is returning and that He expects Christians to be watching with anticipation and working in HIs Kingdom work when He comes to Earth in glory. We are commanded to be spiritually awake like a bride waiting for the groom to appear at a wedding. How often do you think about Jesus' return? How does His sudden appearing affect your decisions, your ambitions, or your behavior? Am I "asleep" to this truth? Is the Church asleep regarding Christ's return? The Bible mentions Christ's return 300 times! How often are we talking about this earth-shattering event or thinking or teaching about His coming? Jesus taught us to stay alert and awake to His return. If He came this moment, would you be ready?

Are you ready for Jesus' return? The Bible mentions this world-altering event more than 300 times! Christ's return and the judgement that comes with His return is the most important test we will ever face. James 5 tells us how to live while we are watching for Jesus to split the sky and powerfully transform reality forever. How often do you think about this fact? Does it affect any of your daily behavior, your decisions?

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money"" (MAT 6:24). Am I an idol worshiper? My credit card statements, band statements, and use of cash give the most honest answers to this question. Preaching about this dangerous addiction to material things offends listeners who refuse to think about their worship of things, pleasure, and indulging their desires. You may think, "I'm not selfish. I spend everything on my family." "Why would Jesus condemn this?" While God allowed you to earn the money you have, or allowed someone to give it to you, He demands that you be generous with some of that wealth to express gratitude, worship, and love to the One who is your Provider. Taking credit for what God has done is living a lie. Thanklessly ignoring the needs of others, the cost of Christ's mission to save the world, and God's commands is sinful. If you ask God, "How much of what you blessed me with do you want me to keep?" instead of "How much should I give?" and obey His loving answer, you will begin to be free from the tyranny of your love of money. Do I love and worship Jesus Christ as my Lord and Master? My use of His money tells the truth about this claim.

Are you rich? Are you materialistic? Is it possible that you are but are simply not aware you are? What does God say about what He has blessed you with? Why did He give you more than you need to survive? The answers to these questions are essential to find out if, like most Americans, we are owned by our possessions. Jesus came to set us free. Being free from selfishness and materialism is a great blessing.

“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails”(PRO 19:21). When you make your plan for the day, or for the week, month or year do you ask God what you should do? The tendency to live in a self-constructed fantasy world pervades our age. People plan their lives without consulting anything other than their own desires. We proudly declare what we will do, what heights we will achieve without reference to our aptitudes or weaknesses or God's will. Jesus promised that those whose trust is in Him could do amazing things (JOH 14:12). You can do amazing things within God's will, His empowerment, and His timing. What is God's "purpose" for you, for your life, for your week? Making plans without asking God is foolish and immature. Pray. Ask God His will for your life and seek to fulfill HIs purpose for you. That is the path to a life of blessing and spiritual success.

The motivational speaker proclaims, "Believe it, and you can be it." If you have lived a little while and have any self-awareness, you know that is a lie. You could pretend to "be it." But that is a fantasy. God says He will bless His plan for your life. He has a dream for you to bless you and to make your life count. Which dream will you choose?

“Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven" (LUK 6:37). What happens from God's viewpoint when imperfect humans decide to sum one another up and label one another in negativity? The person we disrespect is created by God and loved. We never completely understand their limitations, context, challenges or intentions before we judge them and call them a name. In "Don Quixote" we heard the phrase, "the pot calling the kettle black." God looks upon one imperfect mean-spirited child calling another imperfect child somehow inadequate, flawed beyond remedy, and devaluing them. We hardly appreciate how wrong that is! When we judge we join the ranks of those who looked at Jesus and asked, "can anything good come out of Nazareth?"(JOH 1:46). Jesus was called a "blasphemer, a drunk, and an agent of Satan." Judging, condemning and labeling people is always wrong. Forgiving, valuing other imperfect people, and forgiving those who harm and offend is Christian.
