SOME NEEDED PERSPECTIVE

I would like to offer some needed perspective on what our nation is now experiencing. It appears to me we are in another cultural reset. Don't let that trouble you too much. Over a lifetime I've been through a few of these; wars, cultural conflicts, recessions, 9/11, and others. These are moments when we need to reevaluate our own personal convictions. If we are honest with ourselves and make a commitment to allow the process to work, we can become better-informed, more-committed individuals and better citizens of this great nation. Our focus should be on POLICIES, not PERSONALITIES. Governmental Policies and Practices always need to be improved and these moments usually help speed that along. Remember to pray for ALL our leaders, spend some extra time in Scripture, research the issues that are most important to you and be kind toward those with whom you disagree. Be well-informed and of genuine conviction in your positions. Stay willing to learn and to make mid-course adjustments. Lastly, get off the bench and onto the field. Our best future will be determined by all of us together. If you find these points helpful, please share part or all of them with others.

INSIDE OUT

A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.

THE LORD IS ONE

Usage of the phrases “My God” and “Our God” in songs and conversations among believers has gone far afield from the Biblical context in which they were used. These seemingly innocent attempts to describe our relationship with Elohim must only be spoken with keen Scriptural understanding: “I am the Lord, there is no other, apart from me there is no God.” Plain and simple, to even imply that He is but one choice among many is fundamentally false. In a world of increasing polytheism we must be clear, the LORD is One, He stands alone as King of the Universe, Creator of All Things. Holy LORD, let my life declare boldly, You Alone are Almighty God.

HEARTBREAKS

Every soul experiences heartbreaks. Heartaches accumulate and develop tentacles that reach deep into our whole being. Particularly painful is the regret associated with perceived failures. Heartbreaks, failures and the remorse they foster do us no good unless they become motivation for learning, change and growth. People often let heartbreaks simmer too long which leads to hardening of the heart, but heartaches placed into the Master’s hands become pathways for spiritual progress. Lord, You make all things new. I’m joyfully growing, one heartache at a time. Use me as healing balm to others whose hearts are broken.
