God Centered Life

In our culture today, we need to be careful to continue to learn to hear. We tend to only hear what we expect to hear. It's hard to listen in order to hear rather than listening to wait for our turn to talk! Here we focus on Andrew and what an example he is to us in bringing people to Jesus.

Up until this time, the Scriptures had been saying that there will come a day when the Messiah will arise. Now, John the Baptist says: He is here! This is the pivotal moment in history, the coming of God Himself to rescue us from our sins.

If Christian ministry is our fundamental identity, then what is the purpose? Obtaining Christian fame like Chuck Swindoll or another well-known preacher? The effect could be that we lose sight of God and cease to minister for His glory. We must focus on Jesus.

It's so counter-cultural that John's confession is not that he's the best prophet, it's that he's not special or important, and he's not the Christ. Just as John did, our task is not to point to ourselves but to say I'm not the one to look at or listen to, I'm not the expert; I'm not the Christ. Instead, look at Him. Our identity is founded in Him and in pointing other people to Him.

Does God test us today? The word "test" has so many connotations. The truth is that we are constantly being refined by life and by God's loving fatherly care.

As the Church, we don't love the Bible because we like intellectual things, or because we like books, or because we're old fashioned. We are a Church that loves the Bible because you find life to the full through Jesus, and you find Jesus through the Bible.

Do you know why you believe? If you want to rise above life's difficulties and have a ministry, you must know the answer to that question.

How do you get unstuck spiritually? The Bible unchained! My encouragement is to read it regularly, daily if possible. The Bible does say, "meditate on the law day and night."

We are all made in the image of God, and there's a restlessness that we all feel unless we are in relationship with Jesus. Our culture is running around trying to find satisfaction, looking for something to fill that need, and they are deeply dissatisfied.

It is possible in our association with institutional religion to have some kind of vague belief in God and being a good person and a good "Christian"and not be born again or receive the Holy Spirit. So if we have truly encountered Jesus, then we have something to share.
