  • Should Christians Suffer?
    At the end of 2019, I was invited to share with a group of students "what the Lord was saying for 2020."  
    This is part of the teaching from that evening.

  • Every Crisis Is an Opportunity!
    Due to the coronavirus the Religious Affairs Bureau required all churches to cancel their meetings.  En lieu of meeting together on Sunday morning, we encouraged the XICF family to meet in small groups in homes.  This sermon was delivered to the XICF family via WeChat.
    Every crisis is an opportunity for the goodness of God to invade the earth!
    Romans 15:13
    May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. 
    James 1:2-3
    Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

  • Much More!
    As much as Adam's sin brought pain, suffering, brokenness, a curse and death into the world, MUCH MORE does the work of Jesus bring healing, wholeness, blessing and life!!!
    What does the "much more" of Jesus' reign look like in our every day lives?  What does it mean to be "saved by his life"?  What is our salvation and how can we receive God's provision to enjoy Him to the fullest today?
    Romans 5; John 17:3; 1 Tim. 2:15; Ga. 2:20; Col. 3:3; Ro. 6:8; 7:4

  • Helping Friends Deal with Life Issues pt. 1
    If you have friends, then you probably have friends with issues!  How can we help our friends experience the abundant life offered by Christ?
    All the brokenness we carry from Adam (i.e., from being human) can only be healed in Christ.  The entrance of God’s word brings light (Ps. 119:130; Ps. 119:105; Eph. 5:11) and illuminates the path!  Understanding spiritual darkness and light gives us a framework for helping others understand the underlying causes of their brokenness.
    When the students in Manthanos//Kairos asked about helping friends deal with serious issues, I offered some thoughts- presented in the acronym "KALIMBAS." 
    KALIMBAS:
    1. Keep in step with the spirit (Ga. 5:25; Jn. 5:19; 15:5)
    2. Address the brokenness of the heart (Pr. 4:23; Jer. 17:9; Ro. 5:12; 3:23-24)
    3. Let them take responsibility for themselves (Jn. 14:1; Ph. 4:4-8)
    4. I can’t change anybody (Ez. 33:1-6)
    5. Mind - Win the war for the mind (Jn. 8:31-32; 2 Cor. 10:5; Ro. 12:2; Ro. 8:6; Is. 26:3)
    6. Body - Discipline the body (1 Thes. 4:4; 1 Cor. 9:27)
    7. Alert - Stay alert!  I must watch myself (1 Cor. 15:33; Ga. 6:1; 1 Tim. 4:16; Lu. 21:34; Pr.16:18 )
    8. Support, but separate when needed (Jn. 6:66; 1 Cor. 5:9-13; Ga. 6:2)
    There may be times when we're trying to help others that we ourselves need to ask for help.  We shouldn't hesitate in such cases to get others involved.  God made us a Body so we could support one another (Ga. 6:2)!

  • Happy Thanksgiving!
    Always give thanks for everything! Eph. 5:20
    Thankfulness is a shortcut to joy!  God wants our joy to be full, so He invites us to live a life of thankfulness. 
    When we give thanks we must be thankful TO someone!  This reminds us what we are created for.

  • Awestruck Astonishment (Delighting in Fearing pt 3)
    The fear of the Lord is an amazing gateway to intimacy with God as well as key to being integrated human beings and understanding our place in the universe.  I invite you to journey with me.
    "The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant." (Ps. 25:14)
    “Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.” (Ecc. 12:13)
    If God has already put the punishment for our sins onto Jesus, then why should we fear him?
    The fear of the Lord is to be so awestruck by how powerful, beautiful, majestic, holy and pure God is that we fear being anything that is incompatible with Him; not because we dread His punishment, but because we are so enraptured by His splendor and omnipotence that we only desire to be like Him: we abhor anything that is opposed to Him and turn away from everything that is contrary to His goodness and glory.
    15 min
  • What Are You Most Afraid Of? (Delighting in Fearing pt 2)
    What are you most afraid of?  How does that affect your behavior?
    We're all tempted to subdivide our identities: be one person at home, another at work or school, another at church, another with friends.... Perhaps understanding the fear of the Lord can help us be whole, integrated and authentic.  
    In this episode we continue to seek to understand the fear of the Lord and drink deeply from this fountain of life (Pr. 14:27).

  • Rejoice with Trembling: Delighting in Fearing pt 1

    After he sinned, Adam was afraid of God (Gen. 3:10), but Jesus delighted in the fear of the Lord (Is. 11:3)!  So what's the difference?  

    “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.” (1 Jn. 4:18)

    If God has already put the punishment for our sins onto Jesus, then why should we fear him?

    The fear of the Lord is to be so awestruck by how powerful, beautiful, majestic, holy and pure God is that we fear being anything that is incompatible with Him; not because we dread His punishment, but because we are so enraptured by His splendor and omnipotence that we only desire to be like Him: we abhor anything that is opposed to Him and turn away from everything that is contrary to His goodness and glory.

    The fear of the Lord is an amazing gateway to intimacy with God. 

    "The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant." (Ps. 25:14)

    I invite you to journey with me.

    “Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.” (Ecc. 12:13)

  • d6 songs

    In this episode I share some original songs. 

    Colossians 3:16 says, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God."  Let's give it whirl....  Thanks for listening!

    Where I Belong (Under the Cross)

    When the torrents pound down on my life

    When there is no relief in sight

    When my sorrows are too much to bear

    When my heart is weighed down with cares

    There is one place

    Only one place

    I know I can go

    Under the cross

    Under Your gaze

    Under Your love

    Under Your grace

    That’s where I’m safe

    That’s where I’m strong

    That’s where I belong

    You have been a shelter to me

    A safe place a sanctuary

    You stand around me and guard my life

    You uphold me in the downpours of life

    There is one Lord

    Only one Lord

    Who won’t let me go

    Under the cross

    Under Your gaze

    Under Your love

    Under Your grace

    That’s where I’m safe

    That’s where I’m strong

    That’s where I belong

    When the sorrows seem to much to bear

    You uphold me You uphold me

    When the trials of life seem so unfair

    You console me You console me

    Under the cross

    Under Your gaze

    Under Your love

    Under Your grace

    That’s where I’m safe

    That’s where I’m strong

    That’s where I belong

     

    Desert In Bloom (Isaiah 35)

    KP: “You know my grandma always said, ‘If you’re digging a hole that you don’t want to be in, first thing you got to do is stop digging.’”

    Steady shaking knees and strengthen feeble hands

    Say to fearful hearts hiding in the land

    “He is coming!”  “He is coming!

    The ransomed will come back dripping in glory

    Their joy will overtake them their sorrows gonna flee

    They’ll be singing, they’ll be singing

    See the parched land bloom

    A hurting people like the sun at noon

    So open blind eyes and unplug deaf ears

    The mute are gonna shout the lame jump like a deer

    It is freeing, it is freeing

    The burning sand a pool streams in the desert flow

    In the barren haunts papyrus starts to grow

    It is healing, it is healing

    See the parched land bloom

    A hurting people like the sun at noon

    See the parched land bloom

    A hurting people like the sun at noon

    You ain’t never seen a people like this before

    Ain’t never seen a people with so much soul

    They know how to rock and they know how to roll

    They know how to rock and they know how to roll

    Steady shaking knees and strengthen feeble hands

    Say to fearful hearts hiding in the land

    “He is coming!”  “He is coming!

    The ransomed will come back dripping in glory

    Their joy will overtake them their sorrows gonna flee

    They’ll be singing, they’ll be singing

    Singing like the stars shining like the sun

    Feel the earth quake baby here He comes

    Righteous gonna laugh wicked gonna run

    Can you feel it?  Here He comes!

     

    So Much Hope (Hands to the Sky)

    When clouds surround my head

    When darkness closes in

    I will choose to laugh

    Cause I know I’m gonna win

     

    You showed Your love

    You shed Your blood

    Went to the cross for me

     

    Now I’m alive

    Hidden in Christ

    So why should I worry

     

    I got my hands to the sky

    The whole world wondering why

    I got a smile on my face

    When they all wanna cry

    I got my hands in the air

    And no I don’t care

    If everyone around me

    Wants to stop and stare

     

    Your love broke through my shame

    Your truth broke every chain

    In Adam I was dead

    Now in Christ I reign

     

    You showed Your love

    You shed Your blood

    Went to the cross for me

     

    I got so much, so much hope

    I got so much, so much hope

    I got so much, so much hope

     

    Pull up pull up

    Light beam in all the place

    Push out push out

    Darkness flee out from the place

  • The Radical Nature of New Covenant Worship

    Worship is not meant for a special hour at a special place when we're wearing special clothes and doing special ceremonies; it is to be woven into the fabric of our lives all of the time!  Unlimited access to holy places in heaven is what Hebrews 9-10 describes as our "regulations for worship."

    Enjoying the radical nature of New Covenant worship is our inheritance as children of God.  The world and the devil would like it very much if we confine our worship to singing on Sunday morning.  God invites to something much more marvelous, much more magnificent and much more consequential!
