Leaving Laodicea

When we look at the times in which we live, no question seems more important than this: Where are we in prophetic history? And what is going to happen next? What is next on the prophetic calendar? Where are we in regards to Matthew 24 or Daniel 9 or the book of Revelation? Where are we, right now, in the continuum of prophetic history?

And the answer to that question will either fill you with peace or dread, depending on your relationship with the Lord. If you long for His return, then the signs of His coming provide great encouragement. But if you are trying to live your best life now, then His return and judgment should keep you up at night.

Scripture gives us a few signs, like a timeline, for the end. And when we see these signs coming in rapid successions, like birth pains, we know the time of His return is near. Let’s look at just a few of these signs.

1. The Regathering of the Jewish People to their Land

2. Increasing Apostasy in the Church

3. The Coming Middle East Peace

4. Reuniting of the Roman Empire (East / West)

5. The Proliferation of Globalism

Remember what our Lord said about these signs:

Matthew 24:4-8 – “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.”

Did you catch that? The “beginning of sorrows (or travail from childbirth).”

But what about our country? Where does the United States fit in the end time? Where are we, as a nation, in prophetic history?

The simple answer is, we do not figure into the end time scenario. And there are many speculations why that may be. We may be included in the list of Gentile nations that reject God in the end times (Revelation 10:11, 11:18, 12:5, 14:8, 15:4, 16:19, 17:15, 18:3, 23, 19:15). Or even worse, we may be included in the nations that rage against God in Psalm 2.

Psalm 2:1-2 – Why do the nations rage (including ours), and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us (the nations and people) break Their (plural) bonds in pieces and cast away Their (plural) cords from us.”

Again, are we part of the “nations” in Psalm 2? Or, are we a Godly nation that follows after Him? Is the church pure enough to forestall His wrath? Can we expect another great revival before the end? And, if so, what would the rapture do to our nation? Or are we, as a nation, long overdue for judgment?

As you can see, these are vital questions that need to be answered as we see the day of His return approaching (Hebrews 10:5). So let’s take a look at this together to determine exactly where we are in prophetic history and what we can expect next.

476: What is the Condition of the Church Today?

475: How to Understand the “Why” Questions

474: It’s Time to Call a Sacred Assembly

473: The Link Between Self-Examination and Salvation

472: Have You Experienced Regeneration or Conversion?

What is the condition of the church today? Is the bride of Christ pure like our Lord commanded? Or have we compromised and sold our birthright for a bowl of stew?

The church, made up of true believers, is to be the assembly of those who are the light of the world (Matt. 5:14) and salt of the earth (Matt. 5:13). But sadly, as we see the church compromise and the world’s acceptance and approval of us loom large in the hearts of many, our influence wanes to the point of being a non-factor in our culture. How did that happen? We allowed our focus to move from the Lord to ourselves as we judge truth by how it affects each of us. This is the current condition of the church.

And it really should not be any surprise to us. After all, Jesus said it would be this way for those who live, like we do, in the Laodicean church age.

•  Denial of God – Luke 17:26; 2 Timothy 3:4-5

•  Denial of Christ – 1 John 2:18; 4:3; 2 Peter 2:6

•  Denial of Christ’s Return – 2 Peter 3:3-4

•  Denial of the Faith – 1 Timothy 4:1-2; Jude 3

•  Denial of Sound Doctrine – 2 Timothy 4:3-4

•  Denial of the Separated Life – 2 Timothy 3:1-7

•  Denial of Christian Liberty – 1 Timothy 4:3-4

•  Denial of Morals – 2 Timothy 3:1-8,13; Jude 18

•  Denial of Authority – 2 Timothy 3:4

What else does the Scripture teach about the condition of the church in the end times?

There are many Scriptures that show us the condition of the church at the end. And the major description of the church is apostasy. They have left their first love (Rev. 2:4). Let me just share a few with you.

1 Timothy 4:1-3 – Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 – But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

And there are many more. This should shed some light on the condition of the church today.

471: How to Truly Experience the Peace of God

When we read Scripture, we usually focus on the obvious “who, what, where, and what does it say and what does it mean” questions. But what is often overlooked are the vital “why” questions. And learning how to ask the “why” questions takes some time. It is not something that comes naturally. You almost have to train your brain to look beyond the obvious and force yourself to try to understand the “why” questions that come with every passage of Scripture.

Not, “why did God choose to put this statement in His Scripture?” Or, “why is the Song of Solomon included in the Bible?” But “why did Paul write this letter to the church at Phillipi in the first place?” What was the problem that needed to be addressed or the ministry that needed to be encouraged? And how would I feel if I was a member of that church, listening to Paul’s letter being read publically? What impact would it have on me?

For example, consider the following well-known teaching from Paul’s letter to the Philippians.

Philippians 4:6-7 – Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Now, let’s ask some questions about the text in order to better understand “why” Paul wrote this letter to them.

What was the setting for this statement?

Where was Paul when he wrote the letter?

What worries or fears did the church at Philippi have?

Next, begin to make it personal.

What worries and fears do I have?

What keeps me from experiencing His peace or robs me of experiencing His joy?

And what worries and fears do I have that rob me of my joy?

As you read Paul’s letter (or any passage of Scripture), imagine you were in the church in Philippi listening to this letter being read. How would you feel? What would the words mean to you? And what impact would they make on your life if you were living in the early days of the New Testament?

Then go deeper. What impact are these words having in your life today? And why is that?

As you look at each verse, ask yourself the “why” questions in order to understand (and feel, experience) the power of these words. And when you do, the Scriptures, every Scripture, will come alive to you in ways you may not now fully understand.

2 Timothy 3:16 – All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

And why is that?

2 Timothy 3:17 – that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Join us as we learn how to understand the importance of asking the “why” questions in Scripture.

474: It’s Time to Call a Sacred Assembly

473: The Link Between Self-Examination and Salvation

472: Have You Experienced Regeneration or Conversion?

471: How to Truly Experience the Peace of God

470: See Scripture Through The Theater of Your Mind

As in the time of Joel, the church today needs to come together and call for a sacred assembly, or a time of national repentance and spiritual renewal. A sacred assembly is a time where everyone who is called by the name of the Lord drops everything and comes together for a season of fasting, praying, repentance, and revival. But before there can be a national move of the Spirit in our land, there has to be a move of the Spirit in our individual lives. Hence, individual revival must come before a national revival.

And this is why the call for individual brokenness and repentance is so important today. Consider what the Lord said to Joel in his time about personal repentance.

Joel 2:12 – “Now, therefore,” says the LORD, “Turn to Me with all your heart, (how) with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning (wailing, great lamenting).”

And then, after the people are revived, the nation can be revived.

Joel 2:15-16 – Blow the trumpet in Zion, consecrate a fast, call a sacred assembly; gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children and nursing babes; let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, and the bride from her dressing room.

No one is exempt. This is a time of communion with the Lord.

But a personal commitment to Him must precede a national commitment. After all, a nation is made up of individuals. And as the individuals go, so does, by definition, the nation. Therefore, each of us must decide to recommit our lives to the One Who saved us before we can come together as a group and expect God to do anything.

So what would be the focus of our commitment? For me, Oswald Chambers describes it perfectly in My Utmost for His Highest. This is from January 1st.

My Utmost for His Highest. “My eager desire and hope being that I may never feel ashamed.” We shall all feel very much ashamed if we do not yield to Jesus on the point He has asked us to yield to Him. Paul says—”My determination is to be my utmost for His Highest.” To get there is a question of will, not of debate nor of reasoning, but a surrender of will, an absolute and irrevocable surrender on that point. An over-weening consideration for ourselves is the thing that keeps us from that decision, though we put it that we are considering others. When we consider what it will cost others if we obey the call of Jesus, we tell God He does not know what our obedience will mean. Keep to the point; He does know. Shut out every other consideration and keep yourself before God for this one thing only—”My Utmost for His Highest.”

I am determined to be absolutely and entirely for Him and for Him alone.

Join us as we recommit our lives to our Lord and prepare to call for a sacred assembly.

472: Have You Experienced Regeneration or Conversion?

471: How to Truly Experience the Peace of God

470: Seeing Scripture Through The Theater of Your Mind

469: What’s the Point of the Lord’s Supper?

Scriptures teach that our heart is deceitfully wicked, even to the point it will deceive itself (Jer. 17:9). And this often happens in regards to true salvation, or the difference between saving faith and non-saving faith. That is why we are commanded to examine ourselves, to take on the difficult task of self-examination, in order to see if we are truly saved. And often this self-examination is both painful and revealing. Consider the following:

2 Corinthians 13:5 – Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?— unless indeed you are disqualified (reprobates, those not approved, those who fail the test).

Ouch! That stings.

How can we go about looking at our spiritual lives in the light of Scripture? What questions do we ask ourselves? How is the process of self-examination and salvation accomplished?

And how can we know we are saved and not disqualified?

The answer is found in 1 John. In fact, one of the key goals of 1 John is for believers, people like you and me, to be able to know we have eternal life. Look at what John says towards the end of his book:

1 John 5:13 – These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, (why) that you may know (what) that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

Using 1 John as our source, let’s look at each of the following questions in detail in order to determine our spiritual state. After all, what could be more important than that?

1. Do you enjoy having fellowship with Christ and His redeemed people? – 1 John 1:3

2. Would people say you walk in the light, or walk in the darkness? – 1 John 1:6-7

3. Do you admit and confess your sin? – 1 John 1:8-9

4. Are you obedient to God’s Word? – 1 John 2:3-5

5. Does your life indicate you love God rather than the world? – 1 John 2:15

6. Is your life characterized by “doing what is right”? – 1 John 2:29

7. Do you seek to maintain a pure life? – 1 John 3:3

8. Do you see a decreasing pattern of sin in your life? 1 John 3:5-6

9. Do you demonstrate love for other Christians? – 1 John 3:14

10. Do you “walk the walk,” or just “talk the talk”? – 1 John 3:18-19

11. Do you maintain a clear conscience? – 1 John 3:21

12. Do you experience victory in your Christian walk? – 1 John 5:4

Again, don’t take this time of self-examination lightly. These may be the most important questions you have ever asked yourself. And your answers may indicate if you exercise saving faith or non-saving faith. And the difference between the two is the difference between heaven and hell. So set apart some time for this self-examination and let’s look at His Word together.

471: How to Truly Experience the Peace of God

470: Seeing Scripture Through the Theater of Your Mind

469: What’s the Point of the Lord’s Supper?

468: Learning How to Follow Jesus in Real-Time

One of the most frightening truths is the fact that many who claim the name of Christ, who profess salvation, are actually lost and on their way to eternal separation from Him. How can that be? How can someone be so duped into believing they are saved when, in fact, just the opposite is true? The answer is found in our understanding of the difference between regeneration (being born again) and conversion (exercising faith and repentance). Conversion must follow regeneration for true salvation to take place. If the order is reversed, nothing eternal happens.

Often, with good intentions, we focus on getting someone to convert to Christ by emphasizing their need to recite the “sinner’s prayer”— which focuses on faith (Romans 10:9-10) and repentance. But without regeneration (being born again), the converted individual (who prayed a prayer) is not saved. They have made a verbal assent (faith) to a code of ethics or a religion or a way of life, but without a supernatural change in nature. And it is only the change in nature (regeneration) that leads to salvation. Sadly, the converted, yet unregenerate sinner, becomes another unsaved, baptized, deceived, church member.

This is exactly what Jesus spoke of in His Parable of the Sower (Matt. 13) and warned about at the end of the Sermon on the Mount. Consider carefully His words:

Matthew 7:21-23 – “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me,

you who practice lawlessness!'”

So what are we to do?

The Scriptures repeatedly admonish us to examine ourselves to see if we are truly saved, if regeneration has taken place.

2 Corinthians 13:5 – Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified (reprobates, those not approved, those who fail the test).

And you can do this by asking yourself the following questions (from 1 John):

•  Do you enjoy having fellowship with Christ and His redeemed people? – 1 John 1:3

•  Would people say you walk in the light, or walk in the darkness? – 1 John 1:6-7

•  Do you admit and confess your sin? – 1 John 1:8-9

•  Are you obedient to God’s Word? – 1 John 2:3-5

•  Does your life indicate you love God rather than the world? – 1 John 2:15

•  Is your life characterized by “doing what is right”? – 1 John 2:29

•  Do you seek to maintain a pure life? – 1 John 3:3

•  Do you see a decreasing pattern of sin in your life? 1 John 3:5-6

•  Do you demonstrate love for other Christians? – 1 John 3:14

•  Do you “walk the walk,” or just “talk the talk”? – 1 John 3:18-19

•  Do you maintain a clear conscience? – 1 John 3:21

•  Do you experience victory in your Christian walk? – 1 John 5:4

Don’t take this lightly. These may be the most important questions you ever ask yourself. And your answers may indicate if you are truly His. Do you want to know? If so, then keep listening.

Peace seems like such an elusive commodity today. After all, it seems we are surrounded by ever-increasing chaos and turmoil with no end in sight. What are believers to do in a climate like we are facing today? We are to strive to experience the peace of God. Note, not peace with God, which is something quite different. But the peace of God. It is a peace that only comes from Him, the peace He also experienced while on earth, the indescribable, supernatural peace of God.

Paul tells us exactly how to find this peace. Consider the following:

Philippians 4:6-7 – Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and (the promise) the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

But what kind of peace is that? And how can I experience that promised peace? Is it something I muster up myself? Or is it something I internalize myself? Or does it, like faith, come from outside of myself? And, if so, how can I obtain this peace of God?

Great questions. But the answer is simple. The peace of God is a gift from our Lord, left to each of us as a part of our inheritance in Him. It is the peace Jesus personally experienced while on earth, facing untold trials, tribulation, betrayals, and spiritual attacks. And He gives us, as a gift, this very peace as a promise— a promise so wonderful it cannot be described or even understood.

Notice what our Lord said about how to experience the peace of God.

John 14:27 – “Peace (what) I leave with you, My peace (what) I give to you; (contrast) not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

Jesus is going away and His disciples are troubled (John 13:33-36). But He promised to leave them a gift, something that helped Him persevere during His dark days. And that was His peace. Not peace like the world gives, which is primarily a lack of conflict and is temporary at best. But a peace that passes all understanding (Phil. 4:7). His peace. The peace of God.

Do you realize the peace of God is also offered to you? It is part of your birthright as a child of God and a joint-heir with Christ (Rom. 8:17).  All we have to do is receive this gift to experience the peace of God. Are you ready? Then keep listening.

467: We are Now Living in Bonhoeffer’s Germany

466: How to Seek God’s Face and Not Just His Hand

When you read anything, including Scripture, there’s something that happens that is called the theater of your mind. It is in the theater of your mind that you take descriptive text and add details to make the story more personal, more alive, more kinetic. For example, consider this simple description: “It was raining. As he walked to the car, he pulled his coat tight around himself and quickened his steps.”

Now, what scene are you seeing in your mind? And what details have you added to make this descriptive statement more descriptive? How hard was it raining? Was this a rural setting or a side street in New York City? Or was the man on his front porch walking across his lawn to his car, or was he coming out of a restaurant or an office building in downtown Chicago? Did this take place in winter, maybe mid-January? Or was it in early Spring, during the first week of May? What was the color of his coat? How old was the man? Was he dressed in a tuxedo like he was heading to a wedding? Or was he tired, in worn-out overalls, on his way home after spending twelve hours in a wheat field on a John Deere Harvester? How do you see this in the theater of your mind?

There is no right or wrong answer. You are the one who adds these secondary elements to what you read and paints black and white text with a pallet of colors you make up in your own mind. We all do this. Everyone does this when we read descriptive text.

And the same thing happens when we read, for example, the gospels. We tend to focus on the red print, the words of Jesus, to systematically glean doctrine and truth. But we skim over the black print, the descriptions of people and places where Jesus spoke and performed miracles, creating stick figures or silhouettes of the characters in Scripture. And by using the gift of having a theater in your mind, it can greatly increase your experience with Scripture. You will, in effect, see everything differently.

Now rest assured, we are not adding to His Word nor or we taking anything away. We are simply imagining some details to make the story more alive. And we are wondering what we would have seen, or heard, or felt if we were actually watching a biblical scene play out before us.

Matthew 19:13 – Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.

Imagine you were there with Jesus when this event took place. How old were the children? How many of them were brought to Jesus? And who brought them? The disciples? Others who were listening to Jesus? Maybe the mothers of the children? Who did the disciples rebuke? Jesus? The mothers? The children themselves? Someone else? And how did Jesus respond? What was the expression on His face? Was He angry? Annoyed? Hurt? Satisfied? Sad?

There are no answers to any of these questions in Scripture. But as you read this single passage and let your mind focus on the words, you will begin to develop a picture in your mind of what this event might have looked like. And as your mental theater begins to expand, so will your emotions. And you will find you will begin to feel as you read the text what you would have felt had you been there personally, two-thousand years ago, as a first-hand witness.

And once you master this tool, Scripture will begin to take on an entirely new experience for you.

So join us as we learn how to experience the Word of God using the Theater of Our Minds.

466: How to Seek God’s Face and Not Just His Hand

465: The Important, Yet Forgotten Discipline of Fasting

In the history of the church, there seems to always be confusion about the Lord’s Supper. What does it mean? Why do we participate? What happens when I do? Let’s be honest, many find the Lord’s Supper somewhat confusing. I often hear people say, “I don’t understand what the Lord’s Supper means.” And, in our narcissistic church culture, where it’s all about us, this is usually followed by “So what’s the point of the Lord’s Supper anyway?” We know it’s something important, really important, but we’re not sure why. And we know it’s something we’re supposed to do because Jesus commanded us to, but again, we’re not sure why. Which presents even more questions.

What does it mean?

Is it really all that important?

Why should I participate?

Are there any reasons why I should not participate?

What happens when I do participate?

And why all the controversy and confusion?

Sometimes the Lord’s Supper is called communion. But communion with who? And how is that communion experienced by taking a sip of juice and eating an unleavened doughball?

In other words, there must be more to this than what many believers have experienced. And, if so, how can I understand what it all means?

In addition to trying to understand what Jesus meant when He said, “This is My body” (Matt. 26:26), we also have confusion about His often misunderstood statement in John 6:51-56. Here, Jesus talks about those who “eat His flesh” and “drink His blood”, as strange as that sounds. And it was this statement alone that gave first-century critics of Christianity cause to call them cannibals. But that’s not what Jesus was talking about. Consider this:

John 6:51-56 – “I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.” The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?” Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.”

So what does all this mean? And why is it important? Can we get some answers to all the confusing questions? Absolutely. Simply keep listening and join us as we discover the wonder of the Lord’s Supper and the incredible benefits that come from experiencing true communion with Him as we participate together.

466: How to Seek God’s Face and Not Just His Hand

465: The Important, Yet Forgotten Discipline of Fasting

464: Who Were the Disciples of Jesus and John

Let’s cut to the chase. We are living in troubling times. Right now in California, for example, pastors are being threatened with fines and imprisonment for holding church services indoors. Yet, riots and demonstrations are not restricted but encouraged. How is that possible in our nation? And many Christians, who should be standing shoulder-to-shoulder for the truth, are scattered like autumn leaves afraid of their own shadows. Is this what following Jesus is all about? And what does following Jesus in real-time mean today?

Is it an emotional decision we make one time that lets Jesus season our life for the better?

Or is it, like Bonhoeffer said, a “call to come and die”?

Or maybe something in-between these two extremes?

Whatever it means, those following Jesus in the Scriptures seemed to have different lives than we do today. And why is that?

In this message, we will look at the accounts in Matthew where Jesus invited those He encountered to “follow Him” and see what that actually meant. And I think you’ll find it is more than a simple mental assent to a moral code or set of personal principles. No, following Jesus is a life-altering event that literally changes everything— about everything.

Consider the following:

Matthew 4:18-20 – And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

Does this sound like what happens when we decide to follow Jesus? But there’s more…

Matthew 4:21-22 – Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

And there are dozens of more examples that show us clearly what following Jesus in real-time meant back then, and also means today. So join with us as we discover more about this life with Christ and the joy that comes from following Him.
