God’s Will Today

In a recent message about finding God’s will, Steven Furtick made what I thought was a very insightful statement. He said that, “God’s will is more about the present than the future.” We often take the long view in trying to determine what God wants us to do with our lives while neglecting what we should be doing in this moment. Being in God’s will is all about obeying Him in our daily lives. When we are living our lives in the ways He modeled for us, we are in His will. When we care for others and think less of ourselves, we are doing God’s will.

Lead Me to Calvary

Tomorrow is Good Friday, the day we remember the sacrifice of Jesus on our behalf. We’ve talked a lot in recent days about surrendering everything to Jesus and truly making Him the Lord of our lives. Everything we do should be to glorify Him because of what He did for us. In thinking about this post, the old hymn, “Lead Me to Calvary”, kept repeating in my head. As we prepare our hearts for solemn remembrance tomorrow, it seemed good to reflect on the words of this powerful song.

Excited to be a Christian?

Are you excited to be a Christian? Does the thought of serving Christ every day give you an utter sense of peace and purpose? For too many there is a palpable lack of excitement about the privilege of being a child of the King of the Universe. The conversations I have with fellow attendees at a weekend worship service rarely involve discussions about how amazing our God is. We sing songs of worship proclaiming His majesty, but our conversations generally devolve into the mundane or selfish.  Encountering fellow believers outside the “church” environment reveals similar results. We have the best news the world has ever heard.  We have the truth and the only hope. So why aren’t we more excited about it?

Finding God’s Will

Many Christians are consumed with a desire to find God’s will for their lives. They spend their time reading books, taking assessment tests, and attending seminars that all promise to reveal these secrets to them. It seems everyone wants clear guidance on what God’s will is for their lives, yet so many are frustrated because they can never quite seem to find it. Jim Rohn used to say that anything we pursue will eludes us. Finding God’s will is not something we pursue; it is something we become as we surrender our lives to Him.

Break My Heart

In the past few years there has been a lot of attention given to the quote by World Vision’s founder, Bob Pierce, who said, “Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God.” The popular worship band, Hillsong United, included that now famous line in their song, “Hosanna”. Christian bloggers around the world, including myself, have written posts around this phrase. It is at once both beautiful and powerful. In the last year or so, I am hearing and reading this quote repeated more and more. Yet as I look around the world, I am seeing changes for the worse and not better. Is this just the latest catch phrase (think, “WWJD – What Would Jesus Do”) or do we honestly yearn for God to break our hearts?
