The Goods

Baseball, Drugs, Homeruns and Jesus: “I sometimes get nervous when I listen to Christian athletes talk about their faith on the big stage. While I appreciate their desire explicitly to give glory to Jesus during interviews, they can come off as glib, token, or perfunctory…This is why Josh Hamilton’s appearance last night on ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption made such an impression on me.”

Mother’s Day for the Infertile: This coming mother’s day, “remember the infertile as the world around us celebrates motherhood. The Proverbs 31 woman needs our attention, but the 1 Samuel 1 woman does too.”

Gay Marriage and Christians: “The temptation is for Christians go silent and give up the marriage fight: ‘It’s no use staying in this battle,’ we think to ourselves…I understand that temptation. It is an easier way. But I do not think it is the right way, the God glorifying way, or the way of love.”

Which Is Better? “I remember walking into an adult bookstore for the first time…” You won’t be sorry you read this.

Theology Bloopers: “Mike Wittmer has been posting some hilarious bloopers he’s come across in papers from his students. What follows are some of my favorites.”

What is Church Membership? “It’s true that a Christian must choose to join a church, but that does not make it a voluntary organization. Having chosen Christ, a Christian has no choice but to choose to join a church.”

A Conversation with John MacArthur and John Piper: “This was one of the most interesting conversations I’ve been a part of—an interview of John Piper and John MacArthur together (September 28, 2007). On the surface there are many similarities between these two preachers. But on another level you couldn’t find two men more different.”

At Core we have been speaking about relationships, dating and marriage. This video caps everything off well. Have your eyes refocused to His beautiful purposes for marriage.

“Always estimate men in proportion as they estimate this Book.” Henry Alford, The Greek Testament, I:v.

Five Reasons to Join a Church

Monday, October 17th, 2011

I already posted 6 reasons why becoming a member of a local church is biblical and necessary for Christians, in this post I thought I would address five reasons why going to church is good for your soul and others.

1) UNASHAMED OF JESUS’ BRIDE

When you commit yourself to a local body of believers in membership you are publicly professing a love for Jesus’ Bride. In the Scriptures, one of the images used of the church is the bride of Christ (Revelation 19:7). When we commit ourselves to a local body of believers we are, in turn, making ourselves faithful to the one that Christ has vowed to keep forever. It is necessary for those who love Jesus to also love His bride and by joining ourselves to a local body we are showing ourselves unashamed of our Lord’s Delight.

2) WE’RE BETTER TOGETHER

Another apt image given to speak of the church is a body. Paul says, “Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink” (1 Corinthians 12:12-13). After proclaiming the unity of Jesus’ church, Paul then addresses another crucial truth, “the body is not made up of one part but of many” (1 Corinthians 12:14).

As Christians, we are members, or parts, of a greater body. When one looks across the pews on a Sunday morning they shouldn’t see a bunch of independent individuals, but a collection of parts united under one head, Jesus Christ. Bob is a hand, Suzy is a foot, Ted is a mouth, Allison is en ear and so on. All the folks in the church are not the body, but members of the body living under our Head Jesus. Given this truth from the Bible we can see one thing clearly: we are all better together. To not join ourselves to a local body of believers for service and worship is to severe ourselves from the body to which we belong and in which we have little or no value to His body. Apart from the body, we are no good. Just a severed foot unable to be lifted into a step. A hand with no fingers. A torso with no arms. Don’t you see? A Christian choosing to live outside of a commitment to a local body is to choose to live a life that resembles a horror/gore film. We are better together.

3) A GREATER SOIL FOR YOUR WORK

When apart of a local body of believers we choose to serve in a place where greater growth can take place. Although churches aren’t perfect, they do have Spirit filled believers who can do things you can’t do and pick up where you drop off. If you have a particular gift of explaining good doctrine, but lack an ability to counsel and sympathize, there is bound to be someone else in the church who can. If you have a gift of administration and organization, but can’t preach, there is someone in the church who probably can. At least better than you. The basic fact is there are people in church who are better at things than you are and to separate your active service from a church is to choose to work with bad soil. To not commit yourself to a local church is to choose to limit your own fruitfulness in service. You can only do so much.

4) ENCOURAGE THE YOUNGIN’S IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

Jesus died to purchase the church (Acts 20:28). He is committed to her and He calls us to be as well. Although we may choose to live apart from the local body of believers we must see that our decision is not only affecting us, but also those who watch us. Any new Christian that sees your a Christian but not connected to a local church will get the message loud and clear: being apart of a church is not important as the other things you commit yourself to. You may never say this with your mouth, but you speak louder with your decision. Let this truth weigh heavily in our hearts. Our love and commitment to the church will influence other Christians practice and choice. Are we modeling a Christ-like love for His church or are we choosing to neglect the Blood Bought Bride? What are you modeling?

5) ENCOURAGE THE BRIDE TO PRESS ON

Lastly, joining a local body of believers is a good decision because by your commitment you will be encouraging the body you give yourself to. When new people are added to the number of a church, that church is encouraged. By giving yourself to a church you are claiming that you support their beliefs, the practices, their community and their mission. As a Calvary is encouraging to battle weary soldiers, so are new members to a faithful flock.

A FINAL WORD

So my friend, where are you today? Are you ashamed of Jesus’ bride? Are you a severed limb from the body? Are you choosing to farm in fallow soil? Are you discouraging younger believers and other Christian from loving the church? Are you keeping yourself from being an encouragement from believers who are plodding faithfully in the direction their Master calls them to?

Where are you right now? Do you have a family or are you an orphan by choice? Don’t choose to hate Jesus’ Bride with your life. Don’t choose to severe yourself from the body to which you belong. You’re not Rambo. You’re not good by yourself. Choose rightly. Join a church.

Don’t Go to Church! (Part One)

Sunday, October 9th, 2011

A bit ago I posted about why it is necessary for Christians to go to church. In this post, I want to strongly urge you to not go to church. Before you exit this window and write me off as a loony tune, let me explain.

GOING TO CHURCH VS. JOINING A CHURCH

I think there is an important distinction to make between “going to church” and “joining a church.” I have met many people who “go to church”, but have no relationship, involvement or connection to that particular church beyond it being the place they park their butts for about an hour a week. They have no more commitment to that church than they do the restaurants they go to and eat at. They come, they sit, they are served and they leave. When I was at BIOLA, I came across quite a large amount of students who “went to church” on Sundays. They would go to a particular service, sit, sing, pray and scoot before anyone could actually engage them in meaning conversation. My question is: is this what Jesus has in mind for the church that “He bought with His own blood” (Acts 20:28). I don’t think so.

Let me say this clearly and simply: Jesus did not die so we may “go to church”. He did not come to earth, take on His own human life and offer Himself up as a sacrifice to bear the wrath of God in our stead so we can “go to church”. Jesus did not go to the cross to make the church something we do. Jesus went to the cross to make the church something we are. For Redeemed Christians, the church is not to be something we visit, it is our new way of being. As Christians come to Jesus, they find themselves as little bricks built into a great building that is the called Church (1 Peter 2:4-5). The church is something that Christians have been saved into, not something they should go to.

So what does this truth about the church practically mean for individual Christians? It means that all Christians should be active members of a Jesus exalting, Bible teaching, gospel advancing local church. It means that going to church is not enough. It means that Jesus’ will for every able Christian is that they are committed members of a local church, that they are under the submission and guidance of their pastors (Hebrews 13:17), that they are serving the church with their gifts for the “common good” of that church (1 Corinthians 12:7), that they are receiving encouragement and love from the church (Romans 1:12), that they are looking out for the interests the church before their own (Philippians 2:4). The point is: Jesus has died to purify for Himself a people who are committed to Him and each other for His glory (Titus 2:14). To only be committed to Him and not the church is to live in disobedience.

So the simply question is: are you a member of a local church? It not, then be instructed by Jesus Himself and get your butt in gear. I urge you by the gospel to do so.

Tomorrow I will share with you six reasons why joining a local church is Biblical and then the next day I will share why joining a church is good for your soul.

THE PROPER ATTITUDE

As you read this, do so with a heart open to instruction. Don’t read this and say, “Well of course you would say that you’re a youth pastor!” That would be a logical fallacy and would avoid thinking through the actual Biblical arguments I have brought and will bring forth. Listen to me please. There are far too many people who bear the name of Jesus without confessing or living up to their place in His church. Listen to His Word and obey Him. If you are His then take note, you have become a brick of the church. Don’t lay outside of the building, but place yourself within her walls for her good and His glory.

To be continued…

8 Ways to Prepare to Listen to a Sermon

Thursday, October 6th, 2011

We prepare for class, we get ready to go out to eat, we pack and plan for travel, but have you ever prepared yourself to listen to your pastor’s sermon on Sunday? Has the thought of preparing yourself for your pastor’s sermon even crossed your mind? If not, then muse with me on this one short thought: what are good reasons to not prepare myself to received the preached Word of God? I trust you’ll find none.

As Christians we believe the preacher is a proclaimer of what God has done in Jesus Christ and a shepherd who helps to apply that truth so God’s people may “live according to sound doctrine” (Titus 2:1). In other words, you preacher on Sunday, if he is being faithful, is not speaking His thoughts or opinions, but the Living Word of God.

May the weight of that thought be contemplated.

Seeing the weight of the preached Word, what are some ways we can prepare ourselves, our friends and our families to receive the preached Word of God? Let me share five ways to prepare yourself for listening to a sermon given from a little booklet called “The Family at Church” by Joel Beeke and then I will share three thoughts from George Whitefield’s short writing on the same topic.

1) BEFORE YOU COME TO SERVICE, PRAY:

“Pray for the conversion of sinners, the edification of saints, and the glorification of God’s Triune Name. Pray for children, teenagers and the elderly. Pray for listening ears and understanding hears. Pray for yourself…Pray that you will come to God’s house as a needy sinner, purging your heart of carnal lusts and clinging to Christ for the cleansing power of HIs blood. Pray for the sanctifying presence of God in christ, for true communion with Him in mind and soul. Pray that your minister is given power by the Holy Spirit so that he will ope his mouth boldly to make known the mysteries of the Gospel (Ephesians 6:19). Pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit’s convicting, quickening, humbling and comforting power to work through God’s ordinances in the fulfillment of His promises (Proverbs 1:23).”

2) BE HUNGRY FOR GOD’S WORD:

Peter said, “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation” (1 Peter 2:2). Stir your soul with God’s Word on Saturday, maybe by studying the passage the church will study the next day, so you may hunger for more. As you come to meet with God’s people trusting God’s gospel, to worship God with song, prayer and fellowship, be also hungry for God’s food (Matthew 4:4).

3) MEDITATE ON THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PREACHED WORD:

Thomas Boston once wrote, “The voice is on earth, (but) the speaker is in heaven” (Acts 10:33). Remember that your pastor is only a messenger who brings the Word of God. Just as people were to listen attentively to the prophets of old, we must reverently listen to our pastors proclaim the Word of God knowing that every sentence of Biblical teaching could be tagged with the line, “Thus says the Lord.” Don’t come to hear your preachers words no matter how eloquent or don’t stay home because they aren’t eloquent enough! We leave our homes and come to the corporate gathering of the church to hear no one less than God address us where we are. George Whitefield once said, “If an earthly king were to issue a royal proclamation, and the life or death of his subjects entirely depended on performing or not performing its conditions, how eager would they be to hear what those conditions were! And shall we not pay the same respect to the King of kings, and Lord of lords, and lend an attentive ear to His ministers, when they are declaring, in His name, how our pardon, peace, and happiness may be secured?” He is to have our ears. Remember who is really speaking on Sunday morning and let that truth guide your listening.

4) PREPARE FOR THE DISTRACTIONS THAT ARE BOUND TO COME:

Beeke rightly points out that “many enemies will oppose your listening.” Either it be internal distractions about work, family, job issues, lusts, a cold heart or external distractions like temperature, weather, the people around you, or noises; whatever it may be, prepare yourself to overcome. How? Pray that God may keep your heart inclined to listen to His Word over any distraction thrown your way. Remember, Satan seeks to keep God’s Word from bearing fruit in your life (Mark 4). So fight like heaven against him.

5) COME LOVING:

Remind yourself of your responsibility to the body of believers you belong to. Jesus has saved you into His family with one Father and One Brother who is over all and many other siblings. As you walk into your gathering, prepare yourself to serve with a labor of love. I can tell you now that if you come to service “putting the interest of others before your own” (Philippians 2:4) your heart will be much better prepared to hear God’s Word. Pray that you are a blessing to your church family and not a curse and you will find yourself in a position to receive much from the God who gives grace to the humble.

6) DON’T COME FOR CURIOSITY BUT FROM A DESIRE TO KNOW AND OBEY:

Come to hear them, not out of curiosity, but from a sincere desire to know and do your duty. To enter His house merely to have our ears entertained, and not our hearts reformed, must certainly be highly displeasing to the Most High God, as well as unprofitable to ourselves.

7) DON’T HOLD ANY PREJUDICE AGAINST THE PREACHER:

George Whitefield says, “That was the reason Jesus Christ Himself could not do many mighty works, nor preach to any great effect among those of His own country; for they were offended at Him. Listen and beware of entertaining any dislike against those whom the Holy Spirit has made overseers over you.

8 )REMEMBER THE PREACHERS ARE MEN LIKE YOU:

George Whitefield comments, “Even if we should hear a person teaching others to do things that he has not done himself, yet that is no reason for rejecting his doctrine. For ministers speak not in their own, but in Christ’s name. And we know who commanded the people to do whatever the scribes and Pharisees should say unto them, even though they did not do themselves what they said (see Matt. 23:1-3).”

Snow People

Monday, October 3rd, 2011

Trevin Wax:

    Let’s say that you live in a town that is in a desert. One day, someone shows up and says:

    “Get ready for snowfall! A north wind will come and bring snow that will cover this land. The world will be like new, but you must be prepared for the day it snows!”

    Even though you live in a town that has never seen snow, people believe the strange message – that snow will fall and blanket the town.

    The people who believe in the coming snow begin to prepare the town for Christmas.

    Some put up Christmas lights.
    Others design snow plows.
    Still others cover their plants.
    Even if most people scoff at the snow-watchers, the group maintains their belief that everything will be made new. And mysteriously, whenever the snow people come together, a cool breeze begins to blow and it flurries just a bit, giving them just a taste of the glory that’s coming.

    The church of Jesus Christ is like a flurry before the great snow. Christians live in light of the coming reality. When we gather together, we sense the Spirit of God blowing through our midst, changing us and renewing the world around us.

    We also warn people of the judgment that will accompany the presence of God on that day. We are a colony of heaven, and our life together makes the announcement: Repent, trust in the Messiah-King who has died for your sins, and be ready for the coming kingdom!

You Have to Go to Church

Saturday, September 24th, 2011

If you know me, even a little bit, you know that I love the local church. Not only my local church South Shores, but all good, bible teaching, Jesus exalting local churches everywhere.

And I care about Christians loving the local church.

With this, I am consistently pained to know so many people who claim to love Jesus, but neglect His bride. It hurts my soul to see Christians so casual about being connected to a local church. I don’t know if it is solely due to our American individualism or our terrible understanding of what it means to be a Christian, but I have met countless people over the years who ignore the local church and think they are better for it. Let me say this very clearly: they’re not. In fact, let me say this:

    If you claim to be a Christian, but you do not love, regularly fellowship with, serve or come under the submission of a local church then you are not being obedient to Jesus, you are not sharing His love for the church and you are manifesting evidence that reveals salvation may have not come to you.

How can I say this? Because the Bible does. Below are twelve biblical reasons taken from Donald Whitney’s fantastic book Spiritual Disciplines Within the Church: Participating in the Body of Christ that teach being connected with a local church is not an option for Christians, but if they have the ability, it will be an inevitable obedience.

1) Going to church is a biblical requirement

    Hebrews 10:25 clearly tells Christians to continually meet together and never stop. This should be enough of a reason for any Christian to be connected to their local church because God has commanded them to in His Word. There is no escaping this clear command without it being called disobedience.

2) Going to church helps prevent backsliding

    Whitney observes, “Neglect of the church is almost always one of the first outward signs of backsliding and one of the initial steps taken by those who path ends in complete apostasy.” I have experienced this personally. There are people I have known who have claimed they were Christians, but no longer are. The first thing I saw happen to make me concerned is that they stopped regularly coming to church. As Whitney says, “If you can miss church and not miss church, then something is absent from your heart and faith.”

3) Going to church brings spiritual fellowship and encouragement

    “If a child is going to be emotionally healthy, he needs the socialization and encouragement a family can provide. In the same way, every child of God needs the fellowship and encouragement that God intends for him to receive from a church family if he is going to be spiritually healthy.”

4) Going to church expresses obedience to the greatest commandment

    Mark 12:28-30 says the greatest commandment to is love God with everything we have. “How can we believe we’re trying to fulfill the greatest of all God’s commandments, and how can we say we want to love the Lord our God with all that we are, if we won’t obey His command to meet regularly with other Christians? How can we say we love Him with everything that’s in us if we can’t get out of bed to worship Him with His people?”

5) Going to church follows Jesus’ example

    Luke 4:16 says going to synagogue to meet with God’s people was Jesus’ “custom”. This wasn’t “church” as we know it, but it was the ordained way of worship at the time. So the point is fairly obvious: if we want to be like Jesus then regular church attendance will be something we seek. If meeting with God’s people was the custom of our Savior then it should be ours as well.

6) Going to church is a testimony of support for God’s work in the world

    To not go to church shows that one is simply uninterested in supporting God’s work in the world because God has clearly shown in His Word that He works through the Church (Ephesians 3:10). What you choose to do on Sunday instead of going to church reveals what is more important than being a member of His body which works to proclaim His gospel.

7) Going to church enables you to hear in person the preaching of God’s Word

    Granted, one can listen to sermons from pastors all around the world, but this is drastically different than going to church and hearing preaching in the local church. How? First, you have no control over the preacher as you do a podcast.. If you are listening to a podcast preacher and you don’t want to listen anymore, you want to hear something different or you begin to feel bad, you can turn him off. Try doing that to your local pastor. Secondly, your podcast preacher is unable to preach in your exact context.. He doesn’t know your city, your situation, current events in your area. He preaches to his own church and you listen like an outsider.

8 ) Going to church allows you to take the Lord’s supper

    “The Lord’s supper was given to the church for observance, not to individual Christians. This is an ordinance of Jesus that should be celebrated in the fellowship of a local church. Thus it is by attendance at the setting where the Lord’s Supper is offered that we can obey the Lord and share in this memorial to Him.”

9) Going to church enables you to experience special blessings from God

    “In ways that He does not do when we worship Him alone, God blesses us with strength, instruction and encouragement when we come together at church to worship Him.”

10) Going to church helps prevent an unbalanced Christian life

    Christians who aren’t connected to a local church are usually the most unbalanced Christians. The difficulty, however, is that they don’t realize it. It’s not easy to discern when your Christian life is unbalanced. Others can usually detect a lack of balance in us better than we can…The Lord uses His body, the church, to protect us against the common temptations that lead to imbalance.”

11) Going to church is one evidence of being a Christian

    Whitney comments, “Church attendance is not proof that a person is a Christian, but it is one favorable indication. 1 John 3:14 leads us to believe that those with eternal life will want to go to church. That verse says, ‘We know that we have passed from death to live, because we love the brothers.’”How is it that we know we have come into life? “Because we love the brothers.” At the risk of being too obvious, it is hard to say you love those you avoid.

12) Not going to church is one indication of not being a Christian

    Anyone who, without repentance or regret, is persistently willing to disobey the Lord’s command to meet with the people of God when they gather for public worship (Hebrews 10:25), and who is willing to forsake all the privileges and blessings God provides through the local church, may have some “religion”, but they don’t have Biblical Christianity.

I highly recommend Whitney’s book for anyone who wants to study about the church.

I pray that you may come to see that Jesus loves the church and that you may share in His love. Press on.

A Thankful Member

Monday, March 21st, 2011

I read this quote in a book about humility by C.J. Mahaney and it has stuck with me ever since: “Thankfulness is a horrible soil for pride to grow in.” I was reminded of this truth today as I sat and prayed with my church family.

I have at times been cynical of my church and her weakness. With good reason I was concerned, but with bad judgment and immaturity my concern manifested itself in disgusting complaints and sneers of derision. There were things to be concerned about, but the way I went about responding to them showed my immaturity and sin.

Over time, God rebuked me strongly and I thank Him for it. As I reflect on my attitude toward my local church, I see that the less mature I was in Christ, the more I complained about the church to men and the less I prayed for Her to God. As I have grown, I now see with more clarity that a mark of Christ-like maturity is a steadfast love for the local church. This love does not manifest itself in grumbling and complaints, but ceaseless prayer that Jesus pours grace on His church and work that follows. This is what I was reminded of today.

Our church is fasting today and met this afternoon for prayer and worship. I was blessed and humbled by my family as I heard them corporately exalt God for who He is, what He has done in Jesus and what He is doing today by the power of His Spirit. I was humbled to hear the voices of God’s people rise up to sing, “Change my heart, O God, Make it ever true. Change my heart, O God, May I be like You.” I was encouraged to pray with a man and hear him ask God to make him and I into faithful leaders of our homes and that we would put our families before us for God’s glory and their good. Today, I was thankful for my church Jesus bought and pride was no were near me during that moment. Just thankfulness.

What is your attitude toward your local church? Whether it is good or bad, ask yourself how your attitude manifests itself in your life and relation to your church. Be thankful for what God has given. Check your heart lest Satan take from you the privilege of being a blessing to your church and also being blessed from Her.

Jesus is faithful to His bride. Follow Him in that and find the blessing that comes to those who love what He loves.

For Him…

The Secret Formula God Desires for Your Life

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011

I have often wondered what it would have been like to live as part of the early Church that the book of Acts describes.  Many ministries and people have claimed to be an “Acts 2 church”, but that high level of community has often eluded me.  The challenges and opportunities have been hard to replicate in the 21st century.  But now I have a new goal to be an Acts 9 church… Acts 9:31 to be exact.

In this passage, Luke describes how the church continued to grow in a season of “peace”.  The RSV Bible describes that the church was “being built up” through 1) “walking in the fear of the Lord and 2) in the comfort of the Holy Spirit”.  That is the secret formula I believe God desires for our lives:  to obey him and to experience His presence and power daily.

The church grew as its focus was pleasing God, recognizing God is more than a belief system but rather the Almighty deity that began and sustains life.  Too often I think of God as “my friend”, a buddy who I can chill with.  This is a reaction to coldness of religion that makes God an impersonal force to be reckoned with. However the pendulum has swung too far.  In today’s world, God is thought of so loving that anything that suggests fear, wrath or judgment is rejected.  But the early church was strengthened by the continual awareness of how awe-inspiring, jaw dropping, bow in reverence immediately that truly God is.  That “fear” guiding their living – in obedient God-focus.

The good news is that God balances the fear with “comfort”.  In other words, the early Church did not cower in the shadow of a scary power that they didn’t understand but rather was sustained by the empowerment of the Holy Spirit that they experienced daily in very tangible ways.  The Church today has settled for an impotent God that doesn’t “rock our world,” for either good or bad.  But I need God to shake things up, bring new life and do the impossible where I am powerless to bring the change I so desire.  We are so confused by the concept that God cares deeply about our daily choices that we think God is only concerned with our weekly church attendance rather than our daily devotion.  The early church was led by men who had spent time with Jesus, following him, being rebuked by him, having their feet washed by him.  The leaders of that church knew the intimacy and the power of God and continued to live in that presence through the Holy Spirit.  The early church had a confidence of God’s working in and through them in real and powerful ways.

So the early Church found a rhythm to life that walked in “holy tension” between the fear of God and the comforting presence of God.  This “both-and” approach allowed the early Church to find “success” – more people coming to know Jesus as Lord and Savior, becoming whole out of broken lives.  So what guides your decision making each day?  Why are you choosing to do what you do?  You will find the results God wants for you when you keep your life obediently embracing God’s presence and power.

May you experience the Life God desires and designed for you to have!

Love ya all,

Dave
