Into the Breach Pt. 3: Tilted Towers, Rome, and High School Physics
Acts 19:21
Acts 23:11
Acts 28:30–31 2
Timothy 4:6–8
How to Live a Faith That Engages the Far and Dark Margins
- Self-preservation hollows out your witness. You cannot save yourself through money, success, influence, or power. Cost-analysis kingdom work will leave you spiritually bankrupt. I bet Paul did not know his journey to Rome would lead not to more churches planted, but to more books written. Rome defined his legacy—but it cost him his life. In all of us, we have to ask the question: What do I want my legacy to be remembered as, even if it costs part of the life I envision?
- Self-idolization steals potential and robs people of the Spirit flowing in you. How good you are at something doesn’t mean God is in that something. When you measure everything through the idol of self, you miss the sweetness and fullness of the surrendered life. In what ways do we push against a culture that worships self over the Savior? Our Savior was found among those who needed one—are we?
- Self-reliance won’t get you far in chasing Jesus. If His power is made perfect in weakness, we must embrace weakness in order to understand power. So often we are trapped in training: “I don’t know enough, I wasn’t raised in it, it’s not natural to me…” and we forget that what fueled the move of God in the early church was uncommon, uneducated men who had been with Jesus. If you have truly been with Jesus, you become passionate about Him meeting those around you.
