Epic Every Day

We tend to make value judgments on things that come into our life. If the car breaks down, that's bad; if I get a good grade on a test, that's good. But this value setting is a gateway drug to a bigger desire to control things in general. We want to have a sense of discovery and joy, like children in our faith.

There are joy thieves among our family of believers. They're often disguised as teachers of truth, telling you things like "God won't put on your more than you can handle" or "God helps those who help themselves." An understanding of these and other folk theologies in light of your connection with God keeps them from taking our joy.

Talking about Centered today and Joy: how there is joy in embracing who we are designed to be by God, how the power to do that comes from acting in the spirit, not from our own power. That's why we talk about centered after we talk about surrender.

Why do we think there is some mystery to obtaining the promises of the Christian life like joy and peace, but if we want salvation we just need to ask in faith? These abundant-life qualities are more of a daily process with God through surrender. These are not things we can obtain apart from a gift from God.

When we seek happiness, we end up withholding from ourselves the fullness of the Christian life. Sometimes we hold back on purpose thinking, 'You don't deserve joy.' But it's not about "deserve," it's about what God wants to give us. He says part of the fruit of the Spirit is Joy. It should be part of the normal Christian life.

However you approach suffering, whatever explanation you use to justify or condemn it, the explanation has to make sense. Evan and Liz Frerichs believe the Christian view of suffering it the only one that brings hope and peace. Suffering doesn't get swept to fairy tale land, and yet Christianity doesn't down play the real brutality of suffering. It redeems suffering!

One way to really lock in the destructive results of suffering is to suffer alone. This is a recipe for disaster. There is amazing healing power in sharing your suffering with a trusted friend and spilling it out to God through passionate prayer. You are not alone in this! Sometimes success in this area just looks like perseverance in faith.

When troubles come, do you say "Why am I so unlucky!?" or do you say "What are you doing God? I don't understand, help me!" Life is a series of moving from imbalance to imbalance, but our center comes from God and He guides us.

We don't always (or ever) get to know why we're suffering. Suffering and redemption are such powerful themes in our faith that even the angels desire to know more about it. Get pen and paper ready when you listen to today's episode because we're taking about flipping suffering on its head through the G. E. Moore Shift which is a logic exercise that helps us put suffering back into perspective.

The logic G. E. Moore uses:

If P, then Q

P

Therefore, Q

The inverse goes like this:

If P, Then Q

Not Q

Therefore, Not P

Ever heard "Don't sweat the small stuff; it's all small stuff"? How comforting is that? Not much. Christians have the unique ability to hang on to how difficult suffering is as well as provide hope in God to solve suffering. But we need to get much better at this! Suffering is never pointless.
