A Call to Frienship : your frienships make or break you

As iron sharpens iron,
so one person sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17

From the very beginning of time God said that it was not good for people to be alone. (Gen 2:18). This refers to all people.  It is not good to be alone. We were created for companionship, for friendship. We exist to have fellowship with God and others. And now that this world is a dark place filled with hardship, disappointment, and sin those who have friends to walk with them have something that is more valuable than money.

But here is the trick. Not all friendships are beneficial. There are some people who will drag us down, bring out the worst in us, and tempt us to sin.  (1 Cor. 15:33)

We need to surround ourselves with people who will make us better Christians, encourage us in our marriages, cheer us on in our parenting, and will speak the truth when we are wrong. Who will love us through it all.

“He who walks with wise men shall be wise; but a companion of fools shall be destroyed” (Pro 13:20).

We will not only be influenced by the company we keep, we will be known by it.  This makes it important to seek out friendships with people who will lead us to walk with and become more like Jesus. And let me give you some good news. It is not common interests that solidifies a friendship, but a common Savior. The bond we have with Christ trumps, differing personalities, styles, passions, and hobbies so that we are able to have strong, deep friendships with other sisters in Christ.

Not only do we need to seek out godly friends, we need to learn how to become this kind of friend ourselves. This is something many of us neglect. We want good friends, but do we want to be a good friend?  Jesus calls us to this. Of course a good friend will point other to Jesus, but here are a few things necessary to being a good friend that leads others back to the gospel.

Being a good friend will mean:

1. Giving up our own preferences

There is no room for selfishness in friendships. We need to be willing to give up our own preferences for the good of another person. “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.” (Philippians 2:3, ESV) A good friend will seek to honor and bless those around them.

2. Speak truth kindly

“Faithful are the wounds of a friend” (Pro 27:6)

One of the responsibilities of a friend is to reprove when it is needed. But doing this well requires grace and wisdom. It is not our job to become busybodies, but it is our job to gently and kindly correct if we see our friend walk in a way that is dangerous or in conflict with God’s word.

This means we must also be friends who are willing to hear and accept the reproof of a friend. This shows great spiritual maturity. While it may hurt our feelings we need to remember that  truth spoken in love will be used by God to bear fruit in our lives.

“Let a righteous man strike me — it is a kindness; let him rebuke me — it is oil on my head. My head will not refuse it!” (Psalm 141:5)

“Yes, rebuke a wise man, and he will love you” (Pro 9:8)

3. Be Wise

Bring a good friend demands wisdom. Without it it is easy to overlook sin and danger, or become overly critical. It’s not just reproving that we must care about, but how we reprove. Can we discerning the needs of our friends? What will effectively encourage them in their Christian walk? All of this, and much more, requires wisdom.

It costs to be a good and godly friend. We see the ultimate friendship in Christ. He is wisdom personified. He spoke the truth, and is the truth. And his friendship toward us took him all the way to the grave, for our good. He did more than lay aside preferences, he laid down his life. “Greater love has no man than this: that a man lays down his life for his friend” (John 15:13). Are we willing to lay down our lives for the good of another?

But this cost is the very gold of life!
It is the only antidote for selfishness!
It is the way of Christlikeness!

What Dead Abel Speaks to Us

The story of Cain and Abel in Genesis 4 tells much more about Cain than Abel. In fact, not one word is recorded from living Abel. But the author of Hebrews says that, “through [Abel’s] faith, though he died, he still speaks” (Hebrews 11:4). So what is dead Abel speaking to us?

It was dusk. Cain was working late. Not wanting to face his parents, he was trying to disguise his guilt-infused fear with a preoccupation with his crops. Then suddenly the unmistakable voice of the Lᴏʀᴅ sent a shock through his core: “Where is Abel, your brother?”

Cain had grown to loathe Abel. It had been building for years. No matter what, Abel always seemed to turn a situation to his advantage. Was there a conflict? Abel the Humble loved to be the first to reconcile. Did anyone need help? Abel the Servant loved to be the first to offer it. Was there an injury? Abel the Compassionate loved to be the first to comfort. Even when Cain showed greater endurance and ingenuity in his work, Abel could rob him of any satisfaction with a virtuoso performance of self-effacing virtue.

What Cain found most maddening was Abel the Pious, flaunting his tender conscience and precious devotion to God for the admiration of all. Cain could barely stomach how father and mother gushed over that.

With every perceived humiliation, Cain caressed the secret suspicion that Abel only used goodness to show himself superior to Cain.

But that morning Cain had suffered a crushing blow. The Lᴏʀᴅ had required each brother to present an offering, the first fruits of their labors. Cain saw in this an opportunity. This time Abel would not upstage him. Cain would prove that he too could excel in devotion. So he made sure that his offering lavishly exceeded the required amount of his best produce.

But when the Lᴏʀᴅ reviewed Cain’s extravagant offering, he rejected it. Cain was stunned. Then, injury to insult, the Lᴏʀᴅ accepted Abel’s comparatively simple lamb offering. Humiliated by Abel again! But this time before God!

Cain was beside himself. Hatred metastasized into horror. Abel had outshined him for the last time. By late afternoon Abel’s lifeless body lay in a remote field, abandoned in the hope that a beast’s hunger would conceal the fratricide.

But the Lᴏʀᴅ’s question left Cain naked and exposed (Hebrews 4:13). He lied with the anger of cornered guilt: “I do not know; am I my brother’s keeper?” What it was, in fact, that he did not know was that his silenced brother had not been quiet. The Lᴏʀᴅ replied, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to me from the ground” (Genesis 4:9–10).

Yes, the blood of dead Abel cried out to God for justice (Genesis 4:10; Hebrews 12:24). But the faith of dead Abel “still speaks” (Hebrews 11:4). So what is he saying to us through his faith?

“Without faith it is impossible to please God”

One thing we hear is that God only accepts faith-fueled offerings. It’s significant that God doesn’t provide details about either Cain’s or Abel’s offerings, the first ever recorded in the Bible. In the story, I imagined Cain trying to win God’s approval with an impressive looking offering. But it could just have easily been a stingy offering or an exactingly precise offering. The point is that right from the beginning God draws our attention away from what fallen humans think is important, namely how our works can make us look impressive, to what God thinks is important, namely how our works reveal who we trust.

All of Scripture teaches us that “the righteous shall live by his faith” (Habakkuk 2:4) because “without faith it is impossible to please” God (Hebrews 11:6). Abel was “commended as righteous” by God because he presented his offering in faith (Hebrews 11:4). Cain’s offering was “evil” (1 John 3:12) because without humble trust in God, even our offerings (hear: any work we do for God) are evil to God — no matter if they appear to everyone else as obedient or impressive.

“You will be hated by all for my name’s sake”

A second thing we hear from Abel is that the world will hate you if you live by faith in Jesus (who the New Testament reveals is YHWH, the Lᴏʀᴅ in Philippians 2:11). The Apostle John makes this clear: “We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother’s righteous. Do not be surprised, brothers, that the world hates you” (1 John 3:12–13). Abel was the first to discover that “all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Timothy 3:12).

To “let [our] light shine before others, so that they may see [our] good works” (Matthew 5:16) will at times expose others’ wickedness and arouse their hatred (John 3:20). Jesus himself said, “you will be hated by all for my name's sake,” “some of you they will put to death” — some even at the hands of “parents and brothers and relatives and friends (Luke 21:16–17). Righteous faith arouses evil hatred.

A better word than Abel’s blood

In the story, though we’d rather see ourselves as Abel, we are all Cain. We were at one time cursed, “hostile to God” and alienated from him (Romans 8:7; Ephesians 4:18). Abel, the first martyr of faith, is a foreshadowing of our Lord Jesus, whose “blood… speaks a better word than the blood of Abel” (Hebrews 12:24). For though Abel’s innocent blood cried out for justice against sin, Jesus’s innocent blood cried out for mercy for sinners. Abel’s blood exposed Cain in his wretchedness. Jesus’s blood covers our wretchedness and cleanses us from all sin (Romans 7:24; 1 John 1:9).

So now as we seek to present our bodies as living sacrifices to God, let us remember that the only thing that makes this acceptable to God, the only thing that makes it a spiritual service of worship, is our childlike faith in Jesus (Romans 12:1; 3:26). And let us soberly remember that the only reward this is likely to earn us from the world is its hatred.

When God Works for Us

But they who wait for the Lᴏʀᴅ shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31)

It’s not exactly what we’d think, or could ever imagine. There’s nothing else like it. A God who is so mighty that he doesn’t need anything. A God who displays his glory not by our working for him, but his working for us.

Waiting for the Lᴏʀᴅ means he will give you strength. One of the most amazing truths that I ever discovered — and I was about 22 years old when I discovered it — was that God’s greatness is displayed not in his gathering slaves around him to work for him, to show that he has enough authority to get workers, but rather his greatness is shown in making him — himself — available to work for others.

Look in Isaiah 40:28, “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lᴏʀᴅ is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary.” There is the contrast. We are not going to faint and grow weary. Why? Because we are waiting on the one who never faints, never grows weary. So the point is when God enables us to not faint or grow weary because we’ve waited on him, we get the help and he gets the glory. There is no other god in reality like this. The Bible says that in Isaiah 64:4, “From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him.”

Our God works for people who wait for him.

2 Chronicles 16:9, “For the eyes of the Lᴏʀᴅ run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him.”

He’s not looking for people to work for him. He is looking for people who will let him work for them.

Acts 17:25, “[God is not] served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.”

Psalm 50:15, “Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.”

You get the feel that God shows his power and his glory by helping weak people who wait for him.

And then the beautiful display of this is Jesus. Mark 10:45, “The Son of Man came not to be served” — he didn’t come to get slaves! — “but to serve and to give his life a ransom for many.”

So all over the Bible, and right here in Isaiah 40:31, God is displaying his greatness by saying, Look, I am not the kind of God who needs you and depends on you but I am totally there for those who will trust in him. If you will come to the Son of Man who came to serve you by dying for you and ransoming you from your sin, if you let him serve you that way, I will serve you the rest of your life — including at the Second Coming where according to Luke 12 he will gird himself with a towel, make us sit at table, and the King of the universe will put food on our table at the Feast of the Lamb.

The Power of a Parents words

“Mom, you are making me feel dumb” my son said quietly.

I drew in a quick breath and exhaled. My heart was pierced by his words. I looked over at my son. He stood there staring at me, the hurt stretched across his young face. I had just repeated an instruction to him for the third time because the first two times he didn’t seem to understand. Yet I didn’t simply restate the instruction, my tone was condescending and belittling.

“I’m sorry I spoke to you that way. You are not dumb. Will you forgive me?” I responded, hugging him close.

My son is eight and our conversation was deeply convicting. It was the first time he had ever voiced to me how my speech makes him feel. I wondered how often during his young life my words and tone have belittled him. It wasn’t that long ago that I realized how much I sigh audibly when I am annoyed by something my children do. No doubt, God is at work in me, using my role as a mother to show me my sin.

Why Words Matter

We all have memories embedded deep in our heart of hurtful things people have said to us. James says that “with the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing” (James 3:9–10.) I could read this passage and think, “well I don’t curse anyone, so this doesn’t apply to me.” But I’d be wrong. While I would never think to call my children names, my very tone and body language can communicate that they are a nuisance, that I am annoyed with them, that they are unimportant, and yes, even dumb.

In the Power of Words and the Wonder of God, Sinclair Ferguson says, “How we use our tongues provides clear evidence of where we are spiritually.” Jesus said something similar when he said, “For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Matthew 12:34). My responses to my children, whether it is with actual words or even just the tone of my voice, reveal the condition of my heart. This conversation with my son led to deep conviction by the Spirit, as it should. When I consider how powerful the tongue is and the depth of responsibility I have as a Christian to use it to glorify God, I am overwhelmed. I begin to despair and wonder if I can ever change. But Ferguson reminds me of this truth,

Nobody — Jesus excepted — has succeeded in mastering the tongue! Our only hope as we pursue the discipline of self that leads to mastery of the tongue is that we are Christ’s and that we are being made increasingly like him. But this battle for vocal holiness is a long running one, and it needs to be waged incessantly, daily, hourly.

Cleansed in Christ

My only hope in my battle against this sin is Jesus Christ, my Savior and Redeemer. As the Spirit continues to use my parenting to reveal to me my sin, I am reminded anew of my great need for a Savior. It is because of my sin that Jesus came to die as a substitute in my place. While many in our world may think that the use of a sarcastic tone or a simple irritated sigh is no big deal, to a holy and righteous God — it is a big deal. Romans 3:10 says, “There is no one righteous, not even one.” Isaiah says that even our so called ‘good acts’ are as filthy rags to God (Isaiah 64:6). I am a woman with unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips. And without Jesus to cleanse them, I would be forever lost in my sin, never to stand in the presence of God.

This conviction of my sin leads me to repentance. Not only do I need to ask forgiveness from my son, but most importantly, I need to repent to God. David prayed regarding his own sin, “against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight” (Psalm 51:4). All sins, including verbal sins, are ultimately sins against God. It is only through the gospel of grace through Jesus Christ that I am cleansed and where David’s prayer comes true, “create in me a clean heart oh God and renew a right Spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10). Because of Christ, I can now “approach God’s throne of grace with confidence” (Hebrews 4:16).

Toward Only One Accent

The more my heart is saturated by the truths of the gospel, the more I remember just who I am because of Christ. I am a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). I have been given the Spirit who is actively at work in me, transforming me to be more like Christ. Part of that work of transformation involves conviction of sin by the Spirit, followed by repentance, and application of the gospel to my heart over and over again. As Martin Luther once said, “the entire life of believers is one of repentance.”

Just as God’s word tells me of my sin, my need for a Savior, and the story of his plan to redeem me from sin; it is also his word which the Spirit uses to change me. The more I ingest the word, the more it overflows from my heart. As David said in Psalm, “Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee” (Psalm 119:11). Ferguson, once again, put it this way, “The most important single aid to my ability to use my tongue for the glory of Jesus is allowing the word of God to dwell in me so richly that I cannot speak with any other accent.”

And it is to that end that I pray.

He Who is in You

Text: 1 John 4:1-6

Antichrist.

What a powerful word. For me, it conjures up some pretty intense images. While I don’t focus on the Antichrist much in my day to day thinking (as that isn’t in line with Philippians 4:8), it is part of our story.

As we read today’s passage, take note of this verse:

“…but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.” (1 John 4:3)

What does this mean to us? It means that the core part of the Antichrist is already on earth. It’s in our media. It’s in the people who know about Christ and deny Him. It’s part of when we’re encouraged to blame our sin on our genetic makeup instead of taking responsibility for it. It’s in the false prophets. The Antichrist’s spirit of destruction and trickery is everywhere (Romans 8:9).

This leaves me wondering how anyone who doesn’t have a firm grasp of their faith yet can become aware of this around them? How do you stand strong against such deception? How do you “[p]ut on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil”? (Ephesians 6:11).

John tells us how: 
“…because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” (1 John 4:4)

The wonderful, amazing thing about the Holy Spirit in a Christian is that He tunes our hearts to detect the falsehoods presented to us, even if we are new to the Bible or our faith. When we are faced with “the spirit of the antichrist” as John mentions (v.3), our hearts are pricked with the feeling that something isn’t right. Even when the Lie is bundled up in warm fuzzies and a pretty bow, the Holy Spirit speaks the Truth directly to our hearts so we can know the difference. So whether you first professed Jesus as your savior yesterday or you’ve been a Christian your whole life, being hidden in Christ means you have his Spirit to guide you, no matter the lies the world presents to you.

As children of the God who already conquered the evil one who is in this world, we can rejoice in Him and tune our hearts to His Word, so that we might stand firm in our faith.

“For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”

The God who comforts as A Mother

Isaiah: 66:13 “As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you”

While I was reading and meditating on this passage, I was little surprised by this verse. We generally view God as our Father, and rightly so. So when we think about God, it might be a little hard for us to think of Him as a mother.

John 4:24 says that God is the Spirit and those who worship him, must worship in truth and spirit. Thus this is not a matter of – he or she. But God uses this visual of a mother, or father for us. In other verses of the Bible, God uses different human relationships and calls us His friend, brother, or children. This is so that we know him and understand Him. In this way we also relate to Him as our personal God and enjoy intimate relation with Him.

With this verse I am reminded of the role of our mother. She bears us in the womb for nine  months, nurses us, teaches us to take our first step, rocks us to sleep, helps us to talk – She raises us. Today, who we are, or who we have become is, because of our mother. Our earthly mother might not be perfect, she may have limitations but she was still the one who brought us into this world.

Now consider God as our mother. From the day we were born again, or started a relationship with Him, he has spiritually nursed us and helped us to take our first steps. Then he slowly leads us to take solid food, which brings us to strength and maturity. Slowly we learn to walk with Him and be rooted in Him. And as the verse says – He comforts us. How deep and profound is the warmth and comfort that comes not from any human being but from God. It speaks to our inner most being and is life changing. God, just like a mother is singing a lullaby for us, rocking us and wiping our tears and giving us rest.

Be still in his everlasting arms today.

Christ Our Portion

Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
Psalm 63:3-5

We talk a lot about how much we love Jesus–how he is everything to us. Do we really mean it? Could we say that Jesus is enough, that we are completely satisfied with Him, if we lost family, friends, finances, and material possessions?

I’m not sure I could say that. My heart has become too tied to this world and everything in it. I don’t fully understand how Christ can be my everything.

But whether I know it or not, he is my everything and that is what I have to embrace. He tells us that everything he has is ours. Not only are we to inherit a wonderful kingdom and eternity of joy, but even now we can say, “The Lord is my portion.” And since we have him, we have everything that matters.

Octavius Winslow wrote a great piece on all the ways Christ is our portion.  Here are a few reasons he lists as to why we can be fully satisfied in Jesus.

1. He is our provider (Philip. 4:19)
2. He is our teacher (John 3:2)
3. He is our refiner (Mal. 3:3)
4. He is our bridegroom (Isaiah 54:5)
5. He is our Hope (1 Tim. 1:1)
6. He is our helper (Hebrews 13:6)
7. He is our healer (Ex. 15:26)
8. He is our deliverer (2 Cor. 1:10)
9. He is our saviour (Matt. 1:21)
10. He is our master (John 13:13)
11. He is our example (John 13:15)
12. He is our comforter, our burden bearer (Psalm 55:22)
13. He is our shepherd (Psalm 23:1)
14. He is our restorer (Psalm 23:3)
15. He is our light (Psalm 27:1)
16. He is our rest (Psalm 62:5)
17. He is our nourishment (John 6:55)
18. He is our peace (Eph. 2:14)
19. He is our song (Psalm 118:14)
20. He is our hope (Psalm 39:7)

With a God like this what else could we possible need? But our heart does not understand and our faith is often weak. And so we doubt.

How do we learn to rest in the truth that Jesus really is enough? Faith is the issue here. So how do we work on strengthening our faith? Even here God has provided what we need. He has given us his word and prayer and by these he causes our faith to grow.

We cannot have a strong faith apart from the word of God. It is a living book that will change us from the inside out. We also need that sweet communion with God through prayer. We must ask him to give us faith, to show us how to rest in his character, word, and promises. He is faithful, he will do it. If you say, “I believe, but I doubt as well.” So do I. But the smallest faith is evidence that God is at work in you, teaching you to trust him. So seek him and the gift of faith all the more and he will provide.

The creature without Christ is an empty thing,
a lamp without oil, a bone without marrow.
But when Christ is present our cup runs over,
and we eat bread to the full.
- Spurgeon

“My flesh and my heart fails; but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever.”

Vicious Cycle: Gods Ominiscience

 “There are times when I feel life coming at me in unwarranted and inexplicable ways, offering crises where my best-laid plans had promised only peace. As a Christian, I often try to make sense of those times, searching for God’s purpose among the fallout of my shattered plans, struggling to understand how God will use this one day.

As part of my never-ending quest to find those answers, I take Bible courses to help me better understand the nature of my Creator, and His interest in my life. But sometimes the more I learn about Him, the farther away He seems, and the smaller and less significant I feel. However, in a recent lesson about the dimensions in which God lives, as opposed to the dimensions I live in (width, height, depth), I began to understand that God isn’t bound by those dimensions or by time or by gravity. He lives in many more dimensions—some which my mind can’t even comprehend. He can go through walls and fly across the universe; he can hear everyone’s thoughts at once; He can know us before we’re even knit inside our mother’s womb. He is the One who builds “and breaks down nations across the world, rescues desperate and war-torn refugees, makes the sun come up each day, and keeps our feet on earth’s ground by maintaining”“maintaining the perfect gravitational force to keep us from hurling into outer space … and still He cares about the prayers of a child in his bed.

God is not bound by time or space, as I am, so my thinking about God’s dimensions is limited by my own experience. He can be everywhere at once and attend to billions of problems at once. He can be touching me and also touching you. He can be so close that His breath is sweeping my skin, yet He can be that close to you as well, even if you’re across the world from me. He can hear all my prayers and not just give me what I ask for, but thankfully, He can assess what’s best for me given His purpose for my life and the desires of my heart.

I find this comforting, especially when I pray for things and can’t see immediate answers. If I think of my life in human terms, as a parade, for instance, and God hovering over it in a helicopter, able to touch down at the beginning and the end and any point in between—seeing the end from the beginning,and the beginning from the end, and the end from the middle, then I can trust that all my prayers have been answered at some point in that timeline. My frustration at what I see as unanswered prayer is unwarranted, because He has already sent those answers even though I may not have caught up to them yet. Daniel prayed for Israel and his prayer was answered immediately, but it took three weeks before the angel came to tell him.

No one living in America can deny that our culture has changed. The drug culture alone is killing our kids. In times like these, it’s easy to throw up our hands and declare that there must not be a God, that if there were, why would He“allow people to suffer this way? Why would He allow children to be born into dysfunctional and dangerous homes? Why would He allow substances on earth that destroy us? Why would He allow such evil to hold us in bondage?

But if you see this life as a training ground for a greater purpose that has everything to do with eternity, and if you see that Jesus came to offer us an escape from the hell that was calling to us and threatening to swallow us whole, by taking the consequences of our dysfunctional, dangerous choices (which he calls sin), and enduring our punishment so that we could emerge whole and flawless, then you’ll see how everything has meaning. Everything has a purpose. You are an important part of God’s plan, and you have a purpose in His eternity. If you understand and accept that Jesus Christ took away your sin by taking it on Himself, then you too will someday live in a sinless heaven of miraculous, immeasurable dimensions—where human limitations are taken away, and nothing inhibits us from living up to our eternal purpose.

Just imagine …

Thinking that way makes my parade a lot more joyful “even when I’m at a place on the timeline where things aren’t going like I’d hoped. This place in time is not all there is to my life … or to yours.

There’s so much more.”
