"Helping Others Communicate"

OFF TRACK, BUT ON TARGET!

10/31/2016

 
Like a good many people, I have always felt that I do my best work when I am in a routine.  For this reason, my week normally plays out according to a regular pattern.  Staff meetings, sermon preparation and delivery, blogging, etc… - all of these things and many others tend to fall within a consistent cycle of first attention and then production.

However, this is not always the case.  Sometimes, other matters arise that trump my regular schedule and require my attention. Such has been the case over the last couple of weeks.  As I write this, I am dealing with the fifth of five funerals within our church family in the last couple of weeks.  In addition, once a quarter, administrative duties associated with my pastorate and headmaster-ship require significant attention.  Added to this have been multiple illnesses and other pressing concerns within my own extended family.
 

Despite that fact that I have tried to demonstrate discipline over the last six plus years in consistently posting blogs to my web page at least twice a week (a goal I set for myself when I committed to begin blogging years ago), the above factors have necessitated that I have had to miss a recent blogging deadline or two.

Being somewhat of a perfectionist, I do not like to set goals and then fail to meet them.  And yet, as I have reflected on this, I have concluded that it is not a bad thing to miss a self-imposed deadline on occasion, especially if that deadline is missed for a greater good.


As a Pastor, I have learned the wisdom of what Rodney Schell once termed “walking slowly through the crowd”.   This was something Jesus Himself practiced.  In verses 40-55 of the eighth chapter of the New Testament Gospel of Luke, we find the following story:

40Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. 41Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.

As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years,c but no one could heal her. 44She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45“Who touched me?” Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.” 46But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.”

47Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.” 50Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James, and the child’s father and mother. 52Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning for her. “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.”

53They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54But he took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!” 55Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat.


Jesus obviously had a significant Divine Appointment ahead of Him in the home of Jairus.  But on His way to that objective, He intentionally walked slowly through the crowd.  As a result, when an equally pressing ministry need suddenly manifested itself, He was sensitive to that need as well.  As a result, He was to meet not only the one need in Jairus’ home, but another one along the way.

As a Pastor (and Under-Shepherd of Jesus Christ), I hope to make all my appointments, deadlines, and objectives.  But if God wills that I have a “Divine Interruption”, I long ago decided this was perfectly fine by me.  After all, it was Jesus Himself Who prayed (in that same New Testament Gospel of Luke, chapter 22, verse 42): “Father… not my will, but yours be done.” 

And this more especially if that Divine will involves meeting the needs of others who are hurting!

MORE BEYOND

10/24/2016

 
The Autobiography of Frank G. Allen contains an address delivered before Eminence College on June 10, 1881. In this discourse, titled “Plus Ultra vs. Ne Plus Ultra”, Dr. Allen shared the following insightful story:

Spain is the great southwestern peninsula of Europe. It juts out between two seas as does no other country of that continent. Before the discovery of America by Columbus, the Spaniards prided themselves on the supposed fact that their country was the last point of solid land on the earth westward. Beyond them, they thought, there was nothing but a vast expanse of water - a shoreless ocean - a mystery never to be solved.

Consequently the early coins of that country, in order to give prominence to this idea, were indented with a picture of the Pillars of Hercules, the two great sentries on each side of the straits of Gibraltar. Encircling these pillars on their coins was the inscription, “ne plus ultra” - nothing beyond. They imagined, therefore, that they constituted the limits of creation; that beyond them there was nothing. Consequently, as in creation the last is the best, they gave to themselves the preeminence.

In this proud idea they rested and praised the Lord. In their own estimation, therefore, they constituted the “ne plus ultra” of God's favored people. Thus they constituted another proud monument of man's folly and ignorance, from which it is well to take warning.

In course of time, however, Columbus conceived the idea of another world west of Spain. After long years of discouragement, sufficient to crush the spirit of all but those of noble impulses and high resolves, he was permitted, with a small fleet, utterly insignificant in this age, to sail westward. He thus discovered the new world whose existence, if ever known before, had faded from the memory of man.

On his return, when the Spaniards became convinced that a great continent lay to the west of them, they were compelled, humiliating as it was, to change the inscription on their coins, encircling the Pillars of Hercules, to “plus ultra” - more beyond. This the demonstrated truth demanded.


Thus the discovery of America took the “ne” off of their proud motto, thus teaching them a lesson which should be a lesson to the world. Their negation was changed to an affirmation. Their boasted limit of creation was changed to an acknowledgment of the unknown beyond.


Dr. Allen’s story is borne out by the monument in Valladolid, Spain, commemorating where Christopher Columbus died in 1506.  Perhaps the most interesting feature of the memorial is a statue of a lion destroying the Latin word “ne” (or “no”) from ne plus ultra”, making it read “plus ultra” instead.  And well it should, for Columbus had indeed proven that there was "more beyond."

Dr. Allen originally used this illustration to challenge students to go forward into a whole new world after graduating.  One can certainly see the application.  But I share this today for a different reason.

Over the last few weeks, our church family has said a sad goodbye to several wonderful saints of God.  As each of these fellow believers has stepped off into eternity, we have mourned his or her passing with tears.  But the grief we share has been tempered by the knowledge that there is One, Jesus Christ,  Who has gone before them (and us) in death and then returned to tell us that there is whole new world awaiting us on the other side of the grave.

In the eleventh chapter of the New Testament Gospel of John, Jesus said to a woman named Martha, who was grieving at the death of her brother, Lazarus:  “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die.”  He concluded with this question:  “Do you believe this?” 

Shortly thereafter, to prove His authority over death, He raised Lazarus from the grave!  And by that same authority, He will one day raise from the dead all who believe in Him.  Thereafter, forevermore, those who believe in Him “will not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16). 

And that, my friends, makes death bearable.  For we know that there is indeed more beyond!  There is indeed another world!  There is indeed a place called Heaven!  And in that place, death will never threaten God’s people again!

ALL IN FAVOR

10/20/2016

 
The following is said to have been a favorite story of former President Lyndon Baines Johnson, who apparently never tired of sharing it.
​
A preacher was becoming terribly distracted by a man who came to church every Sunday and slept through the entire sermon.  

One Sunday, the preacher decided to do something about it.  As he began to preach, the man, true to form, fell fast asleep. Thereupon the preacher said quietly, “Everyone who wants to go to Heaven, stand up.” 


The entire congregation immediately stood up - all except the sleeping man.  When they sat back down, the preacher shouted at the top of his voice, “Everyone who wants to go to Hell rather than Heaven, stand up!” This startled the dozing man. 

Still half asleep, he jumped up, looked around to see what was going on, and then said to the preacher, “Well, Preacher, I don’t know what we’re voting on; but it looks like you and I are the only ones in favor of it.”

Now, obviously, Hell is no laughing matter.  But neither is a flippant attitude toward hearing the Word of God being proclaimed from the pulpit.  And yet, it is not for either of these reasons that I share this story; but for another. 

As we near the end of an admittedly contentious campaign season, I share this simple story in the hopes of reminding each and every one how important it is to stand up and be counted.  

Christians, especially, need to participate in the election process. And this is only done meaningfully by staying alert, paying attention to the issues at hand, evaluating the platforms of the candidates and parties running for office, and then casting one's vote in accordance with the dictates of one's conscience.

As we do this, we prove that we value the system of government bequeathed to us by our founders – a government, in the words of Abraham Lincoln, “of the people, by the people, for the people”.

And in the process, those of us who are followers of Jesus Christ also fulfill a multitude of Biblical admonitions for believers to be responsible citizens.

For my part, I personally plan to fulfill my civic obligation and participate in the upcoming election.  I plan to do so by voting in accordance with my personal values and convictions as a Christian.  I trust all who are believers will join with me and do the same.
 
And together, we will glorify God by fulfilling Jesus’ admonition (in the New Testament Gospel of Mark, chapter 12, verse 17) to “render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s”.

“I GOT YOU, BRO!”

10/17/2016

 
As a communicator of the gospel, I have come to see that the Lord always seems to provide lots of illustrations for me if I will only open my eyes and see them.  One such example occurred while my wife and I were on our recent trip to Gatlinburg with my sisters and their husbands.

We had driven over to Cade’s Cove to ride around the famed loop road late one evening.  Our prayer had been that the Lord would provide a bear sighting for my sisters.  And did He ever answer that prayer!  We got to see, not one, but two bears – and one of these wound up being a little too close for comfort!

Below, you will see a set of pictures.  I have only doctored them by placing small black dots over the bears when they were too far away from my phone camera so as not to be clearly discernible. Notice the sequence of events as what appears to be a yearling bear boldly makes his way up to where our vehicles were parked in the pull off provided for viewing beside the road.
Needless to say, this provided quite a thrill.  Even being protected by a vehicle, one feels more than a little uncomfortable in such a situation.  It all happened very fast.  As we sat there entranced by the moment, this young bear, seemingly without any fear or apprehension whatsoever, brazenly paraded right up to where we were.
 
After a minute or two, he walked right in between two parked vehicles and made his way across the road and off into the woods.  All of this happened as if we were not even there.I have thought about that moment a lot. What emboldened this creature to approach us and to do this so swiftly?  What gave him the courage and the confidence to go among us with little or no discernible fear?  And after some reflection, I have concluded that the answer was there all along - off in the distance about 200 yards the whole time.
 
You see, that black dot in the back of each picture was Mama! And no doubt she kept her eyes on Junior the entire time!  More to the point, she likely kept one eye on Junior and the other eye on us!  And he seemed to sense this.  He seemed to know instinctively that if he ever got in over his head, as it were, help was only a short distance away.

I was reminded of what the Apostle Paul told the members of the Areopagus at Mars Hill in Athens (Acts 17:27) when he said that if we will but reach out for God, we will find Him, for He is “not far from any one of us”.  Indeed, both the Old Testament and the new Testament affirm the promise that the promises of God’s Word that He is near to us at all times!  Both Deuteronomy 31:6 and Hebrews 13:4 tell us that God will never leave us, nor forsake us.
 
What is more, the Bible also tells us that God hears us when we cry out for Him.  On multiple occasions (Psalm 34:17, 104:6, 104:19, etc…), the Psalmist tells us that those who cry out to the Lord in their in distress will be heard and then delivered from their troubles.

We have a popular saying these days.  It occurs in various forms as “I got you, bro!” or “I got you, dog!” or, more commonly, “I’ve got your back!”  But no matter how it is stated, it is simply a means of expressing the fact that one person is pledging to support another, especially in times when the individual needing support is in any way threatened.

What a blessing it is to have others support us.  What a blessing to have others say (and demonstrate) to us that they have our backs!  Where would any of us be without the love and support of other people?

And yet, the ultimate “I’ve got you, bro!” comes, not from an earthly brother or sister, but from a loving Heavenly Father!  What a comfort!  What an encouragement!  To know that the God of this universe has pledged His undying love and support for us!  If that does not give us the confidence to go boldly into this world each and every day, then I do not know what will!
​
I conclude with this prayer:  
“Thank you, Lord, for your show of support.  May we be emboldened to go forth each and every day in the way you have for prepared for us.  And may nothing that stands in our way ever override that God-given confidence.  We pray these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Who has each of our backs for all eternity!  Amen.”

THE ESSENTIALS

10/14/2016

 
Those of you who follow my blog will note that I have taken a week off.  In recognition of my fifteenth anniversary as Pastor, the good people of First Baptist Church gave my wife and me, along with my two sisters and their husbands, a trip to the Great Smokey Mountains.
 
This was especially meaningful for all of us as my sister continues her struggle with ovarian cancer.  We appreciate your prayers given that her most recent scan indicated the need for further treatment.

While there, we stayed at a beautiful cabin outside Gatlinburg, Tennessee titled Eden’s View.  The view from the picture windows overlooking Mt. LeConte certainly lives up to the name. Check out pictures of this unique and awesome place here: https://www.vrbo.com/758351?utm_campaign=VRBO_TRV_TVS

.  

(This cabin is owned by a great couple of people, Todd and Jill Schrock, and is available for rent.  If you are interested, get in touch with them at the above web site.  I highly recommend doing so.  You will not be disappointed, in either them or their cabin.)

In any event, we decided to let loose and live life to the fullest.  As a result, we filled our days with activity and enjoyed ourselves immensely in the process.  In addition to several nice meals together, we visited the Aquarium, multiple Ripley’s and Guinness World Records’ exhibits, as well as several comedy shows and theatres.
 

We also went off-roading and went up in a helicopter.  We even went to a zip-line course and careened down the side of a mountain several different times (one cable of which was 1200 feet long!).
 

But by far the highlight of the trip was going to Cade’s Cove and seeing deer, an elk, and two different black bears.  One of the latter literally walked within ten feet of our vehicle!
 

One other place we visited was the famed R.M.S. Titanic museum at Pigeon Forge.  While there, we met Lowell Lytle, the well-known impersonator of the original Captain of the ill-fated liner.  While portraying Captain Smith, he recounted a powerful story that I wanted to post today.  It is the story of Pastor John Harper.  And it is best to let “Captain Smith” share his story. Enjoy…



Of course, the story of John Harper (as indeed the greater story of the Titanic itself within which his story falls) reminds us of the importance of focusing on what really matters.  Like icebergs suddenly looming up out the night and slamming into us, certain things inevitably come our way that force us to sort the essentials from the non-essentials.
 

And even if these events happen to others rather than to us, they still serve to remind us to focus on what really matters.  For the passengers of the R.M.S. Titanic, it was an iceberg.  For our family, it has been a cancer diagnosis.  For you, it may be something entirely different.

But whatever the trigger, the truth remains.  Eternity is long; but life is short.  So live each day to its fullest!  Enjoy the life that God has blessed you with!  And above all, remember to love the people with whom He has given you with the blessing of passing through this world.
 

For they, and they alone, are what really matter.  They, and they alone, will transcend this world into the next.  And therefore, they, and they alone, need to be told that they are loved – both by us and by the God Who both created them and redeemed them! 

​Believe me, my friends, this is essential!

YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE!

10/6/2016

 
A few years ago, when we purchased my wife’s car, we quickly discovered all the newfangled gadgets that had been inserted into cars over the intervening decade since our last purchase. Some of this was most welcome.  Things like satellite radio, the ability to sync our phones with the audio system, etc…  Other aspects took a little more getting used to.

It all happened this way.  We had purchased the car around the first of summer.  A few months later, as fall unfolded, the car’s built in sensors notified us that the tire pressure was too low.  I dutifully checked all four tires.  Everything was in order.  But still the notifications persisted.  So, failing all my remedies, I took it to the local tire shop.
 
There, I was told the change in outside air temperature read by the sensors meant that the tires needed slight adjustments in pressure, or something to that effect.  Apparently there are differing optimal pressures for both summer and winter driving. In any event, the good folks at the dealer resolved the issue, telling me no real harm would have been done had I kept the pressure where it was.

Fast forward a few years.  I bought my truck a year or so ago after my SUV was wrecked.  This spring, I had a new set of tires put on.  And, you guessed it…  Like clockwork, as fall arrived, my truck’s sensors notified me that my tire pressure was off.  Well, I knew what the issue was; and since I was busy, I ignored the matter for nearly a whole week and kept driving.  Until this morning, that is. 

When I got up, my right front tire was almost flat! I pumped it up enough to get back to the tire dealer.  This time I was told that the new tire had not sealed properly to the rim when first installed.  Of course, the dealer fixed the problem immediately at no charge.  And after a rotation, balance, oil change and service, I was on my way again.

As I have reflected on this series of events throughout this day, I have been reminded that it is best not to try and out guess either my wife’s car or my truck.  The people who built them put the internal sensors inside them to keep them running at peak performance.  And if the sensors go off, it is most certainly for a reason. 

Now, that reason may reflect a very small issue, as in the case of my wife’s car, or a very serious issue, as in the case of my truck.  But either way, when the sensors go off, it behooves the two of us to pay attention.

I know of another mechanism designed and constructed with sensors.  It is called a human body.  And the One Who designed it placed sensors within it to tell us when it needs attention.  Whether those sensors are mild, like hunger, thirst, or sleepiness, or harsh, like pain or injury, it behooves us to pay attention to them.

Likewise, the One Who designed the human body also designed the human soul.  And He placed within that soul a similar set of sensors.  Whenever sensors go off here, as for instance, with guilt, conviction, or remorse, it also behooves us to pay attention.  Quite frankly, we ignore these alarms to our peril!

And just as a flat surpasses a need for a slight adjustment in pressure, just as pain surpasses simply being a little tired, so do the consequences of ignoring one’s conscience surpass the un-comfortableness of making a matter right, whatever it is, before it ever goes too far.
 
In short, my friends, messing up and then having to admit it is tough.  But God gave each of us a conscience for a reason.  And it behooves each of us to pay attention to our respective consciences the moment they sound the alarm!  Otherwise, we wind up with a far bigger problem in the long run!


In the New Testament Book of Acts (chapters 21-23, specifically 23:1) the Apostle Paul was dragged before the authorities.  As he began his defense for being a follower of Jesus Christ, he was able to give the following affirmation:  “My brothers, I have fulfilled my duty to God in all good conscience to this day.”  May we all be able to share such a testimony!

​TWICE DEAD?

10/3/2016

 
I did not have the best of weekends.  My favorite collegiate football team got beat on Saturday.  Now, that would not be so bad except that they were beaten by the favorite team of a majority of the good people whom I have the privilege of pastoring.  Needless to say, I have endured more than a little ribbing as a result!

In fairness, I suppose, I had it coming.  The simple truth is that if the shoe had been on the other foot, I would certainly have heaped on my fair share of abuse.  And the good people referenced above know that well.  But such is life in the Southeastern Conference!

What made it all so bad, though, was how it all happened.  We initially jumped out to a 21 point lead.  Thereafter, the lead slowly dissipated and we found ourselves about to lose.  Then, with only 10 seconds remaining, we scored on long pass play to take the lead.  All we had to do was kick off and tackle the runner and victory would be assured. 

But alas, this was not to be.  A penalty for excessive (and ultimately premature) celebration after the touchdown was enforced against us on the ensuing kickoff.  This, when combined with a longer than expected return by the opponent set them up for one last offensive play with only 4 seconds left on the play clock.

The result?  You guessed it!  They snapped the ball at midfield and fired off what is often referred to as a (50+ yard) “Hail Mary” pass that was caught in the end zone with no time left on the clock!  It was over!  80,000 people sat in shock - utterly speechless!  We had literally snatched defeat from the jaws of victory!

Later, while we were discussing the game around the proverbial water cooler at the office, someone said to me: “You know, Pastor, we had to win that game twice to beat you guys!”  To which I responded:  “Yes, and for our part, we had to lose it twice!”

We had blown a 21 point lead and were about to lose the game when we scored with only 10 seconds left.  Then, with a win all but assured, a mere 10 clicks of the clock later, we lost the lead again.  And with this, we lost the game itself!  Now, to lose once is bad enough; but to do so twice is terrible!

In the New Testament, the Apostle Jude refers to “ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord” as “twice dead” (verses 3-13).  Specifically, he says they are twice dead in that they are “like autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted”.

The word picture is that of an unproductive tree that is apparently deemed worthless, and thus uprooted, discarded, and destroyed. He concludes by saying that it is for them that “blackest darkness has been reserved forever”.

Indeed, the Bible asserts that this is ultimately the fate of all who do not embrace the mercy of God offered through Jesus Christ.  for the Bible speaks of two deaths.
 
The Old Testament Book of Job (chapter 14, verse 1) tells us that “man, who is born of woman, is short-lived and full of turmoil”.  Wise old King Solomon agrees, reminding us that the grave awaits us all (chapter 9, verse 10). This is the first death – the one we must all inevitably face.


But the Bible has more to say about spiritual life and death than physical life and death.  The Book of Hebrews (chapter 9, verse 27) reminds us that it is the fate of all human beings once to die, and then to face the judgment of God.  And that judgment will determine whether or not we will face a second death, a spiritual one, that is far worse than the first. 

For the last Book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation (chapter 20, verses 11-15), says:

11Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.

13The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 14Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.


To die once is bad enough, my friend.  To die twice is terrible indeed.  For the second death is completely unnecessary! 

In the New Testament Gospel of John (chapter 11, verses 25-26), while comforting Mary and Martha before He raised their brother Lazarus from the dead, Jesus said the following: 


“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.”

And he concluded the discussion with this penetrating question: “Do you believe this?”


That single question remains as piercing today as when Jesus first asked it.  What about you?  Do you believe in Jesus Christ? Do you believe He was the perfect Son of God?  Do you believe in His atoning work through a sacrificial death on an old rugged cross for your sins?  Do you believe in His resurrection from the grave, overcoming sin, death, and hell in the process?  Do you believe in His power to forgive sin and to make all things new as a result? 
​
If you do, you will die but once.  If you do not, you will die twice! This is the message of God’s Word.  This is also the message of grace.  This is the message of hope.  And ultimately, this is the message of love.  I hope you have heard it.  More than this, I hope you have embraced it.
