God With Us

Image
When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, but knew her not until she had given birth to a Son. And he called His Name Jesus. (Matthew 1:24-25) I really admire Joseph. What courage he had, to simply wake up and go finalize the marriage, bringing his wife home—all on the basis of a dream. Mary and Zechariah both got to see an angel face to face. Joseph? Well, like his Old Testament namesake, he got his instructions in dreams. I think that most of us are a lot more like Joseph than like Mary in this. God speaks to us in less flamboyant ways—through the Bible, through prayer, through consultation with wise Christian friends. God makes Himself known, but He does it in ways that are easier to mistake. And we worry about that, don’t we? What if I get it wrong? What if I think God wants me to do something, and later on it turns into a disaster? We fret and worry, as if knowing God’s will were some sort of test we could scor...

How’s your heart?

Bible Reading - Mark 4:1-20 The heart is one of the primary organs in the body. It is responsible for pumping blood to the head right down to the toes. It ensures the proper circulation of essential nutrients such as oxygen throughout the body. Without the heart, we cannot function effectively. One reason you can read this now is because your heart is sending oxygen-rich blood to your brain. Just as the heart is important to our physical wellbeing, our heart condition towards God’s teachings is crucial to our spiritual health. Mark 4:1-8 is a parable about a farmer sowing seeds on different kinds of ground. The seed represents the Word of God (v14), and the grounds represent the different heart conditions of the listeners. The first three grounds – the path, rocky places and thorns – are unsuitable for the growth of the seed. Characteristics of people with such heart conditions include a shallow understanding of the Word, failure to persevere in times of trouble and persecuti...

SERVING IN UNITY

Image
" Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers " (Galatians 6:10) Read: Galatians 6 The Apostle Paul tells the Galatian church to serve those in their community. It should come as no surprise Paul encourages them to pour themselves out for others. After all, Jesus himself came down to this earth and poured himself out for each of them. He gave his very life to serve and love them. This sacrifice of Christ has motivated Christians throughout history to serve heroically. Over the centuries, sacrificial service has been one of the most powerful forces drawing people to Christ. People are attracted to this type of service because sacrificial service is so close to the heart of God. Service draws people to Christ, but it also draws us towards one another. Serving is not a solo sport. We were created to be in relationships. When we serve, we build community. When we work with one another, we are...
