Doubt and Faith

Doubt and belief don't need to be pitted against one another. They can sit side by side, journeying with us. helping us along the way.

Belief is not something we achieve. It's something we continue to explore, and ask questions about, and stand in awe of.

Society says that the more we take, the more we have.
But Christ says just the opposite.
The more we give, the more we will receive.
That's God's arithmetic, not the world's.

God does not call us to be successful.
God calls us instead to be faithful.

And then leave the results of our faithful actions in God's merciful strong loving hands. That's where the success comes -- from God. Not from us.

And if we'll persevere in this task, then God will come to us and as he did with Ezekiel, just as he did to Lazarus, offer us the gift of new life.

Because There Was Much Water

Abraham about to sacrifice his only son, Isaac
Jacob dislocating his hip wrestling with God
The Angel of Death striking Egypt's first-born sons
Jonah swallowed by a great fish
Ezekiel in the valley of dry bones
Sampson wielding the jawbone of an ass
Jesus walking on water
John the Baptist crying in the wilderness

You can't sum up stories like these with nice little Sunday School morals. You can't box them in or contain them.

You can only experience them over and over as you read them, and study them, and hear them, and ponder their power for your life.

God invites us to join Him breaking down the walls of hostility and raising up bridges of hope.

The way to do that is to demonstrate the same kind of loving acceptance and mercy that Jesus himself showed.

Such a calling is not easy.
It's a lifelong and uphill struggle.
But it's more than worth it.

Because the world's hatred leads to death. God's love to leads to life.

Being born anew in Jesus' terms is not something we do. It's not a box we can check.

It's something that God does on our behalf.
It's something that God does within us.
It's a process by which God,
over the course of a lifetime,
molds us lovingly into something beautiful.

Because God is a global God, we too need to be a global people.

So thinking globally is the first step in carrying out our mission in modeling Christ in all that we are and all that we do.

The second step is to act locally. None of us can do everything. But all of us can do something.
- Denny Burnette

Isaiah 49:1-7; John 1:29-42
