  • You Are God's Masterpiece – Firm Foundation Inspiration Minute #119 for May 22, 2024
    Ephesians 2:8
    For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
     
    Ephesians 2:10 (NLT) For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
     
    A masterpiece does not happen by accident. It is not the result of something random. A masterpiece is the result of an inspired plan. We usually relate a masterpiece to artwork or some other work of an artist, whether literary, or music or architecture. Basically, a masterpiece is anyone’s best work. Not “best” in relation to someone else’s work, but only in relation to your work and potential.

    Psalm 19:1, The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows his handiwork. Day and today utters speech, and night under night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.
     
    This spring has featured wonders in nature. On April 8, there was a total solar eclipse by the moon, visible for 100-mile-wide band from Texas to Maine. On the evening of May 10th, going into the early morning of May 11th, was the Aurora Borealis, also called the Northern Lights. Unlike the solar eclipse, the Northern Lights could be seen by a large part of the northern hemisphere of planet Earth. What was unusual about the solar storm that created the aurora was that it was visible as far south as Mississippi and Florida. Usually, northern lights are confined to northern Canada and the Arctic Circle. As with the solar eclipse, we don't want to misread or spiritualize this natural event in nature. But what David wrote is true, "The heavens declare the glory of God." But for this event, the second part even rang more true, "The firmament shows his handiwork."
     
    From our perspective, the firmament is the sky and atmosphere surrounding the Earth. Sometime before the evening of May 10th, charged particles left the Sun and collided with the atoms and molecules of oxygen and nitrogen in the Earth's upper atmosphere. This collision of the Sun's energy with our atmosphere produced light displayed in glowing colors of red, magenta, green, purple, pink, and blue. As I wrote last month, we don't worship created things. We worship the Creator. And what a Creator we have! 
     
    As I stood in a field outside the city, away from city lights, I could see these colors dancing in the sky like an IMAX movie, 1,000 times bigger. From the northeast to the northwest, from the horizon to above my head, I saw these colors changing, shimmering, and moving. Through photography and editing, I could enhance the colors, but what I saw with my eyes was amazing. 
     
    In this blog post, I've included a link to my photographs and a video of the Northern Lights. My message to you today is:  Just as there was God's creative light in the Northern Lights, there is light in everything God does in you and around you.
     
    That light is three things. 
    1. It is a reminder that what God does is bigger and better than anything men have done. 
     
    2. Just as the Sun's energy from 93 million miles away can set our atmosphere ablaze with color, God's power is beyond comprehension. As the Bible says, "Is there anything too hard for God?" 
     
    3. As John wrote, "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God...and the word became flesh and dwelled among us." 
     
    His name is Jesus Christ. "By Him, all things were made, and without Him, nothing was made that was made." 
     
    You are a creation of your Creator. You are far more magnificent than a solar eclipse and the Aurora Borealis. Look for God's light and let your light shine. 
     
    God bless, have a great day, and be encouraged!

  • "STAND," Part Three: Renewed Mind = Renewed Life

    DOWNLOAD KEYNOTE SLIDES

    Romans 12:1 NKJV, I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

    Romans 12:1 NLT, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. 2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

    “And do not be conformed (schema) to this world…”

    Schema is the changeable aspect of our lives. That which is continually altered, one way or another.

     

    Process For Renewing the Mind 

    STEP ONE: Implantation

    STEP TWO: Formation

    STEP THREE: Sanctification

    STEP FOUR: Demonstration

    “Be transformed (metamorphoō) by the renewing of your mind…”

    Metamorphoō is to change into another form, to transform,

  • "STAND" Part Two: "You Were Built for Standing"

    DOWNLOAD KEYNOTE SLIDES

    MAIN THING WORKSHEET

    • We learn how to, “Stand against the wiles [schemes, strategies]  of the devil.”
  • The best way to overcome the strategies of the enemy is to have your own strategy (plan) from God.
  • Your strategy will define your tactics (things you do)

    •  

    One of the devil’s strategies is distraction:  

    Hindering and disrupting God’s plan in the lives of believers and preventing unbelievers from coming to faith in Christ.

    Remember the “Path Principle”

    The Path Principle 

    Proverbs 7:6 For at the window of my house

    I looked through my lattice, 7 And saw among the simple, I perceived among the [a]youths,
    A young man devoid of understanding, 8 

    Passing along the street near her corner;

    And he took the path to her house 9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night.

    The Path Principle (from Andy Stanley)

    A path is a direction leading to a destination. When you step onto a path, your intentions don’t matter because you are going to go where ever that path leads.

    Another one of the enemy’s strategies:

    Making lesser things the main thing:  

    There is a saying, “Keep the main thing, the main thing.”

    Ephesians 6:10, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles [strategies]  of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13, Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore…

    “Be strong in the Lord and the power of his might. “

    God's strength and might in your life comes from his consistency, from his word, and from the order he has established in creation.
