READY, SET, GO

1 Chronicles 22:19

"Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise, therefore, and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built for the name of the LORD."

Lord, I will set my heart, my will. Just like I set cruise control, or set my radio dial, a conscious decision with longevity in mind. But Lord prevent my heart from walking away from the wheel, or tuning out the radio. May I be about your business taking from you not only the instruction but the way in which I live. Seeking You, Your Way, Your Heart, Your Heartbeat. 

And your promise... if I seek You, if I set my heart on You, then You WILL BE FOUND by me. Thank You! You are truly 1. good 2. holy and 3. faithful 1. to me 2 in me and 3 through me

In Jesus Name. AMEN

A little Friday morning Theology

Christian Theology...Take this in.
"When the first Adam was tempted, it wa self-interest. Created to have authority in the earth, when he looked up to God, he saw Himself as servant; when he looked down, he saw himself as its Lord.Satan therefore said, 'ye shall be as gods.' What he did not tell them, was that this authority was delegated power only. Losing the servantship, he therefore lost the lordship. Christ came to perfect this servantship, and therefore regain for man, the Lordship." Oh the patience and love of God!

There's more..."the form of a servant", He did not put on the acts of humility, they flowed from a nature. Too good had to share! In this world of masks, compartments, friend groups, and identity crisis, Jesus reveals Himself to those who seek Him in transparent and humble ways. What a friend I have in Jesus!

Philippians 2...good stuff. That combined with theologians of old like Wiley and Culbertson and even Reed - gooooood stuff.

Compassion

In our local church, our vision is...

We are All iN...

iN love with Jesus

iN relationship with others 

iN compassion to the world

In working out this mission in my life. I know that compassion means to "suffer with". The question my heart is asking in each situation I am encountering is who is my heart suffering with. While needs break my heart in different ways, as a Christian " I struggle with His energy that is at work inside of me" 

So maybe for me to bring this right side up God into this upside down world I have to realize that the compassion I have to the world must be rooted and grounded in Christ, suffering with Him. "Filling up in my body that which is lacking in the body of Christ" 

Suffering with Jesus for who He died for. 

As the hand and feet of Jesus, may my life be dedicated to working out in my flesh His suffering so that I may know Him, so that others may know Him. 

Lord, may I recognize and cherish the opportunities to suffer with You for souls. 

AlliN,
