Spiritual Foundations How to lead like Jesus.

 Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him,  Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God, rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.  Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, "Lord, are You washing my feet?"

Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this."

Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!"

Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me."

Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!"

Jesus said to him, "He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you." For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, "You are not all clean."

So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am.  If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.  Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

John 13:1-17

Many (if not most) modern Christians have a "pop-up Jesus"… we "pop him up" on Sunday morning, or maybe while we're listening to Christian radio.

But when the chips are down (sickness, relationship trouble, financial problems), we often turn to more "practical" answers, like medical science, Dr. Phil, and good financial books. None of that is bad. But if we put our faith in those things, we're sunk.

We need to pursue, and be preoccupied, with "the One Thing" for all Christians.

If you are a Christian, there is only one thing you need. And we should be obsessed with that One Thing.

Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me."

And Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."

Luke 10:38-42

Whenever you find yourself worried about "many things", remember the One Thing that is needful. Jesus.

Spiritual Foundations

Positioning and Self-Promotion In the Kingdom

"Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; someone else, and not your own lips."
– Proverbs 27:2

3 Revelations That Precede Elevated Positioning

• Apart from Him, we can do nothing. ""I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." John 15:5

• No agenda is more important than His will on earth, as it is in Heaven. "Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world." John 17:17-18

• Becoming who God sees you as involves a process of being "transformed" by the renewing of your mind. "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 12:2

It's another Faith Friday, and today we're tackling the question: as a Christian, is it wrong to promote yourself? If it is, what does that say about marketing and advertising?

These are questions that trouble thoughtful Christians.

I believe that you can get more clarity about the difference between marketing and self-promotion by remembering 5 keys from the life of Joseph.

Click here to download or listen to this episode now.

1. Just because God reveals your destiny to you doesn't necessarily mean you need to share it with everyone.
2. Promotion flows through God's Presence.
3. Sometimes promotion lies on the other side of adversity.
4. Promotion is always for the purpose of glorifying God.
5. God will promote you only when it won't destroy you.

Whenever you get confused about the difference between marketing and self-promotion, remember these 5 keys from the life of Joseph.
