The Uncommon Truth

Talking about thankfulness around this time of year may feel a little cliché, but in 2020 of all years, it is important to practice gratitude. It certainly has been a difficult year so far, but the practice of thanksgiving can actually unlock a multitude of blessing.

Our enemy the devil certainly does not want followers of Jesus to experience the abundant life that Jesus promised, and that is why giving thanks can sometimes feel like a battle. The act of remembering all that we’ve been blessed with––instead of focusing on what we lack––is the key to victory.

It shouldn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the meaning of the word, “love.” At least that is what we think. But odds are the word has probably lost its meaning to us. We use the term to refer to vastly different things; how can they all have the same meaning?

The truth is there’s actually a difference between the love for coffee and sunsets and the love that we show our children or parents. So what does it mean when we say we love God? For that matter, what does He mean when He says that He loves us?

A quick reading through the New Testament reveals dozens of warnings against false teachers and their “new gospels.” In many places where Jesus’ disciples shared His good news, false teachers were quick to try to get these new believers to trust in something else.

Today is not so different. In present day Christianity, there are a lot of things competing for our trust. We are quick to put our trust in money, education, or the government, and we often save the real good news of Jesus for last. What would it look like to put our trust entirely in Jesus and His true gospel?

As Christians, how should we approach life’s inevitable troubles and disappointments? From everyday struggles to catastrophic loss, life can definitely be disappointing at times. Do we hope these troubles won’t happen to us, or pretend everything is fine? Or do we let them derail our faith and cast doubt on what we believe? 

When it comes to dealing with disappointment, we can learn a lot from the life of Jesus. He Himself faced the rejection of His own people, betrayal by close friends, and an excruciating death. If we can adopt His perspective on disappointment, a whole new life opens up to us.

“Whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do.” These are Jesus’ words to His disciples before His death and resurrection. Do we believe them? What do they mean for us today?

We often think these words pertain only to Jesus’ miracles; but what about the hard work of serving our neighbors or sharing the good news? Are we able today to surpass what He has achieved? What does it take?

Jesus spent a lot of time in the Gospels warning about the pitfalls of money and teaching about the proper way to see it. So why is it that most Christians today seem so preoccupied with making, spending and saving money, even at the expense of Jesus’ teachings?

The truth is, how we approach our finances says a lot about how much we trust God, how well we love those around us, and how eternally minded we are. What are the consequences of getting our perspective wrong? And what can we do to make sure we stay on the right track? Most importantly, how can we use our finances as a tool to grow our faith?

Following Jesus definitely comes with its share of blessings. Are these blessings what we should be seeking out, or merely byproducts of a life lived serving Jesus?

The truth is, most of us Christians in the Western world live as if Christianity is simply an elaborate “bless me,” club. We love to talk about what we receive from our relationship with Jesus, but we sometimes fail to tell new believers about the requirements. Chief among these would be serving. What happens if we try to claim the blessings without following the commands Jesus gave us to love and serve one another?

The topic of holiness is something Jesus spent a lot of time talking about during His time teaching here on earth. So why is it that this issue is so uncommon in modern Christianity?

What is Jesus’ standard for those of us trying to follow Him? What does a holy, set apart life look like today? Where should our motivation come from, and what are the stakes?

Christianity is all about relationships. It’s not about what you know, but who you know. When it comes to relating to God as our Heavenly Father, however, a lot of us have a hard time.

We all have different experiences with fathering––some are good, some are not so good. Yet Jesus made it clear that we are to act as if we have a real Father in Heaven. We are expected to look to Him for protection and provision, and as we grow, join in his family business as sons and daughters. How can we make God our Father when our understanding is so different?

For most Christians, the topic of evangelism is a difficult one to discuss. A lot of us feel insecure about sharing our faith, and we feel guilty, unmotivated and ill equipped. 

Why do we need to tell others? Isn’t there someone better qualified? Where do I start? Steve and Vicki Orsillo make the stakes of evangelism clear and give you a few practical starting points for sharing your faith.
