WHEN PANCAKES & SPIRITUAL GIFTS GO BAD

“If I speak human or angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give away all my possessions, and if I give over my body in order to boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.”
1 Corinthians 13:1-3

There is something of a Saturday morning tradition in our home involving me, Dad, making pancakes.

Or at least there was until my then 10-year-old daughter (with the family’s full support, by the way) decided she would do a better job making Saturday morning breakfast than I would. She was right.

I’m not sure everything that led to this transition of power, but I do recall one incident that undoubtedly had something to do with it. See, I didn’t use the stuff from the box when I made the pancakes. No sir-ee. I made them from scratch, following the same recipe on the same index card in our pantry for years. On one particular occasion, I had the flour, I had the eggs, I had the sugar, and I was looking for the baking powder.

Emphasis on powder.

I instead pulled out the baking soda from the pantry. This gives the pancakes a distinctively rancid flavor when they come out. It was a bad batch, so bad that no amount of syrup could cover the mistake in the end.

It’s amazing that in cooking—even a relatively simple recipe—almost every ingredient can be correct, yet one mistake ruins the otherwise perfect batch. To put it another way, I can have the finest cage-free eggs, the best ground flour, and the most organic of organic milk—but if I “have not” the baking powder, then I have nothing.

The experience came to mind as I read Paul’s opening verses of today’s passage – commonly referred to as the “love” chapter.

1 Corinthians 13 is one of the most famous chapters in the Bible. It’s been read at countless weddings, for believers and non-believers alike, because of the way Paul would go on to describe love in the following verses. But Paul’s direct application of these verses about love wasn’t intended for wedding fodder – it is set in the broader context of his instruction to this church in Corinth about spiritual gifts and their place in the church.

The church in Corinth knew a thing or two about spiritual gifts; it seems this body of believers had them in spades. Yet, despite their giftedness, they had failed to grasp the overall purpose of these gifts from the Holy Spirit. As he would later say in 1 Corinthians 14:26, “Everything is to be done for building up.” These gifts were given not for the showmanship of the one exercising them but for the building up of the church.

And that’s where love comes in. Without love, the recipe falters. You can have the right gifts, the right personalities, the right environment, whatever, and it still goes bad. The most gifted Christian in all the world leaves the environment rancid when he or she pollutes it with their unloving exercise. This passage, then, is more than a simple introduction to Paul’s famous description of love – it’s a warning. Remember how quickly something as great, helpful, and edifying as spiritual gifts can go south.

Remember that, as in the case of pancakes, it only takes one ingredient to spoil the outcome.

PRAYING FOR YOUR CHILDREN

“For this reason also, we have not ceased to pray for you.”
Colossians 1:9

Do you pray for your children?

God has given us our children on loan for us to raise in His image.

It’s almost impossible to do that without praying for them.

For many years, my wife prayed prayers from Colossians 1:9-14 over our three sons.

Here are some ideas for you to try:

Pray that they will increase in the knowledge of God. The greatest hope most parents have for their children is that they will be happy, but a fulfilled life comes from knowing God. Without God, there is a nagging emptiness. Lots of people know about God, but knowing Him personally is different. We all know a lot about our nation’s President, but only a few know him personally.
Pray that they live a worthy life. Teach them that their lives should have an impact for good and that they will be people of trustworthy character.
Pray that they’re strengthened in God’s power. The world and evil influences will seek to pull our children down. They need God’s power to be strong, resist temptation, and do the right thing.
Thank God for each child. Each child is a unique creation of God.
If you’ve never regularly prayed for your children, I hope these ideas act as a starting point.

There is nothing we do for our children that is more important than our prayers.

SURRENDER – WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them and cast them into the fire and they are burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”
John 15:4-7

In the eyes of the world, surrender equates to humiliation.

No one wants to give up and give in to the more powerful side waving that white flag of surrender. So, no wonder the idea of surrender is often deeply resented.

But here’s the irony and the paradox of the Christian faith:

Surrender is the beginning of the victorious Christian life!

When we realize how much God loves us and how He shows us that love by what Christ has done – by literally dying in our place on the cross, paying the penalty for all our sins – past, present, and future – and then rising from the dead, we realize our sinfulness.

When we’re convicted of our sin we can finally surrender our lives to our Lord Jesus Christ, giving Him all that we have. This means handing over all of our desires, goals, dreams, priorities, and possessions. Then, and only then, do we begin the first and most important step in the victorious Christian life. It all begins with surrender.

Anything we hold onto that hasn’t been surrendered to Christ is worthless to the Kingdom of God. Worthless!

So, how do we surrender?

Spend time alone with Him and study God’s Word.
Meditate on His teachings to learn more about God’s will in your life. Pray to discover His will for your life, not to tell God what you want.
Abide in Him daily.:
In other words, stay close to God every day, trusting and obeying Him.
Join a community of believers.
Commit to a local church to worship, serve, and have fellowship with other believers.
Share your faith.
To share our faith with others through words and deeds is Christ’s mission for the Church.
This type of total surrender equals total trust, ultimately leading to a life of true meaning and purpose.

Isn’t that what we all want?

BEYOND OUR UNDERSTANDING

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways, my ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55: 8,9

I once heard a pastor say, “Trying to understand God is like an ant trying to understand the internet. We don’t have the brain capacity.”

Well…even as a human, I don’t understand the internet.

I guess that’s not saying much for my brain capacity…

When it comes to understanding what God is doing in your life, maybe you, too, feel a little like an ant trying to figure out the internet. Nothing seems to make sense. He constantly confounds your expectations and doesn’t cooperate with your plan.

If Isaiah were around today, I think he’d politely tell us ants to stop trying to squeeze God into a version of our own finite understanding. The Lord doesn’t think the way we think or act the way we act. He is transcendent, existing outside of space and time, surpassing human comprehension. His “greatness is unfathomable” (Psalm 145:3). As such, He works in ways that boggle our minds.

It’s one thing to agree with this theologically. But personally, on the street level of everyday life, it can be incredibly frustrating to walk with a God who we can’t figure out and doesn’t work the way we think He should.

If you’re experiencing the frustrating yet glorious reality of Isaiah’s words, I empathize with you.

Allow me to share some practical implications of what the Lord is teaching me through this passage:

• He is not a bigger version of me. God isn’t “The Man Upstairs” or “The Big Guy In the Sky.” While He became a man in the person of Jesus Christ, Isaiah’s point is that God is entirely different from us. We should not expect Him to function like a human being. It sounds obvious, but we often forget this in our relationship with Him.

Remember, He is infinite. We are finite. He is holy. We are not holy.

He is all-knowing. We have limited knowledge.

The list goes on and on. Yes, we are made in His image, but we are not Him. He is God. “There is no one like Him” (Jeremiah 10:6). Accepting this reality should cool the temperature of our frustration when He doesn’t operate according to our timetable…when life isn’t going the way we thought it would go…or when our prayers go unanswered.

• Surrender my pride and embrace humility. God’s ways are higher than ours, meaning they’re not just different, they’re better. Superior. More accurately stated, His ways are best. The Lord is infinitely smarter and wiser than we will ever be. So, instead of stubbornly resisting God’s ways, it’s time we surrender our pride and humbly acknowledge that His ways really are higher (and so much better) than ours. In doing so, we give up “leaning on our own understanding” (Proverbs 3:4-6) and lean into His ways with greater ease and confidence.

• Express my gratitude. I’m so grateful that God’s mercy, patience, grace, etc., are exceedingly superior to my concept of mercy, patience, and grace. In chapter 55, the Lord invites anyone who is willing to “come to the water” (Isaiah 55:1) and drink from the fountain of salvation. Through repentant faith in Jesus, God offers rebellious sinners a way home to Him.

This sounds unbelievable, even too good to be true.

But it’s not. Why? Because His ways are higher than ours! Thank God!

• It all comes down to faith. Throughout history, countless men and women have followed God despite not understanding what He was up to. Noah, Abraham, Moses, and the disciples…to name a few.

So, relax. You’re in good company.

You’re not supposed to understand Him. You’re supposed to trust Him.

I’m reminded of a line from the chorus of the worship song “You’ve Already Won” by Shane and Shane.

“I don’t know what you’re doing, but I know what You’ve done.”

We will never fully understand what He’s doing on this side of heaven, but in Christ, we can understand what He’s done. The cross and the empty tomb are irrefutable proof that He really is worthy of our trust.

So, keep walking by faith, my friend. If you wait until you understand all of God’s ways, you’ll never take a step.

FEEL PUT DOWN FOR BEING A CHRISTIAN?

“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad because great is your reward in heaven…”
Matthew 5:11-12

In the New Testament, before Saul became Paul, he was a religious terrorist – persecuting, arresting, and, at times, even approving the killing of Christians.

But Paul’s real hostility was not so much at the church as it was with Jesus.

Christians, please remember this. It’s important.

And as you go through life:

When you are mocked by others.
When you feel excluded by others.
When you feel persecuted by others….recognize that these people are not really angry with you as a person.

They’re angry because you love Jesus.

They probably have absolutely no idea that their battle isn’t with the Christians, per se. It’s because of Who that Christians profess to believe in – and His name is Jesus.

When you feel put down for being a Christian, don’t take it personally. Instead, seek to love them, forgive them, and pray for them.

Who knows? Your positive witness to them may convict their hearts of their need for Jesus.

They may see in you what they want for themselves.

What if the only Jesus they see is in you?

NEED TO REWIRE YOUR THINKING?

“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”
Colossians 3:2-3 NLT

Neuroscience (the study of the brain and nervous system) is incredibly interesting, particularly because it highlights the applicability and truth of Biblical teachings to our thought lives.

Dr. Joe Dispenza writes that “The length of time we give attention to something in life, along with our repetitive thoughts, forms our neurological writing.” In other words, the more we think about something, the more it becomes solidified in our hearts and minds, and this can actually affect and change our brains’ wiring.

The Apostle Paul may not have had access to this scientific research when he wrote Colossians, but the truth of Jesus and His Word transcends all time. God created our brains; He knows exactly how they work. So, it’s no wonder that science today only affirms what God knew.

Jesus taught over and over again the beauty of a faithful life that loves and obeys God’s Word. When we look at the life of Jesus, we see Him model this focused dedication to walk in God’s calling and purpose, even when it led Him to the cross. He even faced well-meaning disciples, like Peter, who attempted to take Jesus’ mind off of His impending mission and suffering in Jerusalem. “Get behind me, Satan!” Jesus responded. “You are a stumbling block to Me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns” (Matthew 16: 23).

Jesus became a man to fulfill His Father’s will to save us.

Jesus’s heart was always locked on His Father. His mind was set on the cross, and nothing could deter Him from it. Jesus knew exactly who He was and exactly where He was going. His thought life was laser-focused on one thing: God and His life’s mission.

What about you? Where do you need God to begin rewiring your thinking?

Identify what thoughts consume your attention and pray that God would be the fountain from which every other thought spouts.

LIVING IN FREEDOM

“Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.”
1 Peter 2:16-17

Peter speaks to standing against corrupt and evil authority in our spiritual journey.

The temptation is to fight a spiritual battle in a fleshly way using the world’s methods. It is easy for Christians to slip into this way of ‘fighting’ because we have forgotten God’s will and been pulled into the sewer of society by trying to fight this battle on their terms.

Peter offers a correction: Your freedom does not give you permission to sin for the sake of what you say you believe. The way we fight matters. Fighting against sinful authority with sinful actions means we are using our freedom as a cover-up for evil. If you walk away from God’s will and His ultimate authority, you are using your freedom as a cover-up for evil.

What does it look like to live in freedom, not using our freedom as a cover-up for evil? Verse 17 illustrates and challenges us to consider God at His word.

“HONOR EVERYONE”
“But I don’t agree with everyone!”

Honor is not about agreement. Honor is not about endorsing different lifestyles or beliefs. Honor shows dignity and treats people like they are made in the image of God. Every life is made in the image of God, so we are called to be true advocates for life and honor everyone as an individual who bears the image of God. We are called to honor everyone, praying they will see in the way we interact with them that they are created and valued by God and their greatest joy in life will be found in Him.

“LOVE THE BROTHERHOOD”
This is the call to love those in Christ’s body.

Why? Because the world will know that you are truly disciples of Jesus Christ by your love for one another (John 13:35). Every human being is longing to be loved. Would anyone want to listen to what we say about God if we do not demonstrate love for His people?

“FEAR GOD”
Peter reminds us again of God’s sovereign rule.

He is the ultimate authority. Do not lose sight of this reality and become so consumed with the things of this world that you forget the King of kings and Lord of Lords is coming on the clouds with the sword of justice in his mouth to end injustice and evil once and for all!

“HONOR THE EMPEROR”
What a statement of faith this is!

Peter reminds us every human authority has been put there by God, including evil and ruthless emperors (like Nero). How can you honor leaders – whether good or bad? By doing good and trusting God at his word. In the face of persecution, the church grew, the gospel spread throughout the known world, God’s word was proclaimed, and the church of Jesus Christ was not overcome by evil but overcame evil with good.

Nero is now just a line in a history book, and the church of Jesus Christ is an unstoppable force impacting the world with the good news of the gospel. Some of the most powerful moments in the church’s history have happened when the human authority put in place by God was very difficult to honor, and the church chose to believe God at His word.

What will church history say about us? What will be said about the church in our culture during this season?

May it be said that we were a people who were not overcome by evil but overcame evil with good. That we were truly living in freedom. May it be said that we lived in the center of God’s will, striving for the glory of God above all else. May it be said that the kingdom of God came on earth as it is in heaven because the people of God believed in God’s purposeful sovereignty and faithfulness!

WHEN YOU HAVE A “MOMENT”

“When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.”
Psalm 94:19

I had a “moment” the other day.

I bet you’ve had your share of “moments,” too.

So, what are these “moments” anyway?

I’m talking about moments when our faith seems to temporarily fly out the window. We feel exasperated, disoriented, and completely overwhelmed.

And they don’t just happen out of nowhere. They are usually the result of stress that’s been quietly escalating under the surface.

Perhaps it’s comforting to know that biblical writers weren’t exempt from these feelings. They were people just like us.

The writer of Psalm 94 is reflecting on such a “moment” in his own life. He writes, “anxiety was great within me,” and “my feet had almost slipped” (Psalm 94:19,18).

This man was plagued by a multitude of anxious thoughts zigzagging around his mind. He was so distraught that he could hardly stand. Hanging on by a thread, he shares how desperate the situation was, “I would’ve soon dwelt in the silence of death” (verse 17). Translation? He didn’t think he was going to make it.

But what triggered his life-threatening “moment?”

Looking at the entire Psalm, we see two main issues:

• Watching the wicked oppress the righteous (verses 3-6)

• Living under corrupt leadership (verse 20)

Much like we do today, the psalmist lived in a world filled with evil, injustice, and even crooked governments. He was overwhelmed, not only by the mere existence of wickedness but by the fact that wickedness seemed to be winning.

What was most perplexing to him, however, is that it looked as if God was doing nothing about it.

He cries out a familiar refrain, “How long, how long, O Lord, will the wicked be jubilant?” (verse 3)

He pleads with the Lord to “rise up” and take action! (verse 1)

I wonder if you’ve prayed a similar prayer. I wonder if you’ve felt similar feelings.

I wonder if you’ve been so bothered, so frustrated, so heartbroken by the state of our world that you’ve been afflicted by anxiety and pushed to your breaking point.

Take heart. In the middle of our “moments,” there is something we can do.

It all boils down to how we respond.

You see, we have a choice on where we run when anxiety kicks in – we can run toward God or away from Him. Running toward God has a way of recalibrating and calming our souls.

The psalmist runs towards God, “the Rock in whom he takes refuge.” (verse 22)

Now watch what happens! He experiences the Lord’s “consolations” (verse 19), which describes the comfort that an infant feels in the presence of his/her mother. What a beautiful picture!

Like a helpless child, he was soothed and “supported” by the steadfast love of God, the same love that would one day be perfectly and completely manifested in Jesus Christ (Psalm 94:18, Romans 8:35-38).

While the wickedness in the world didn’t magically disappear, he emerged to face it again with renewed strength, perspective, and joy.

Here’s the hope for us today: If the psalmist can survive one of his “moments,” we can too.

We can come like a child, crawl into our Father’s lap, and find rest for our souls in our relationship with Him.

What better moment could we possibly ask for?

WHAT YOU CAN LEARN FROM CHUCK E. CHEESE ABOUT SANCTIFICATION

“When you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and when you believed in Him, you were also sealed with the promised Holy Spirit. He is the down payment of our inheritance, for the redemption of the possession, to the praise of His glory.”
Ephesians 1:13-14

When our kids were much younger, we would take the occasional trip to Chuck E. Cheese. We would play games, hang out, and get something to drink, but we would never order food because we knew there was a limited amount of time we could spend there. And that was because of Chuck E.

We knew it was only a matter of time before Chuck came out from the backroom to make his rounds. And while other kids would stand in line to give Chuck E. a hug or fist bump, our kids were terrified of him. I can sympathize – it is, after all, a giant rat.

And not just a giant rat. A giant rat in a restaurant. Around your food. It’s the kind of thing you would have thought wouldn’t make it beyond the marketing room – that someone might have raised their hand and said, “Are we sure this is the best mascot for what we are trying to accomplish here?”

So yes, I can understand our kids’ hesitations. But on the other hand, that’s not actually a giant rat. At some point, that person would take off the rat costume. They weren’t really Chuck E.; they were only dressed up like him.

Silly illustration, but the point is that there is a great difference between dressing up like someone and being someone. And this is where we learn about sanctification or the process by which we become more like Jesus.

The core question at hand is this:

Who are we really? What is our identity? And that question matters a lot because it determines whether we are Christians or whether we are only playing at being Christians.

To answer that question, we should recognize a distinct pattern represented in the New Testament, summarized using three words: believe, become, and behave.

True life in Christ begins when someone hears the gospel message, recognizes their need, and sees Jesus as supremely valuable. That person turns from their self-lordship and embraces the new life in Christ. They believe in the gospel and are once and for all born again into Him.

When someone believes the gospel, everything is changed. We tend to sell the implications of believing the gospel short, seeing it as only a question of where a person will spend eternity. However, the response to the gospel does more than determine a person’s trajectory; it determines their identity. It does more than change where you’re going. It changes who you’re becoming:

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

When we believe the gospel, we are made new. New identity. New desires. New goals. New Lord. New everything. Though we are made new on the inside, the Holy Spirit continues to invest His transformative power in us so that our outer actions catch up with our inner identity. God gives us a crown, as co-heirs with Christ, that we grow into over the course of time.

Sanctification happens as our behavior falls into line with our identity. Paul’s theology, the “believe, become, behave” model, recognizes that we have already become something new in Christ. We are already different. That means that the behavior part is not an effort to become something different; it’s about recognizing and living out the newness already in us.

The real us? The true us? We are the children of God. We aren’t just acting like God’s children; we have become them. That means whenever we choose to live in accordance with His will, we are living out who we have already become. And when we choose the way of sin? That’s when we put on the mask.

God’s call to become more like Jesus is to grow into what you’ve already become. Stop wearing the mask and embrace who you truly are.

BEING FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT

“…Be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.”
Ephesians 5:18-21

What are the effects of the Spirit of God leading and controlling a life?

In this text, I see three effects of the Spirit of God at work in a believer’s life:

1. WORSHIP
Ephesians 5:18-19 – “…be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart.”

We sing as an act of worship, living in response to the gift of God’s love and grace at work in our lives. We don’t sing because it fills time or because we want to hear pretty music. A life led by the spirit of God will be a life that sings out in worship.

2. GRATITUDE
Ephesians 5:2 – “Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

There is an attitude of gratitude in the life of one led by the Spirit. Here’s what I know about your life (and I can promise you this is true in my life as well): We complain too much! We have more to be grateful for than to complain about, yet far too often, we spend more time complaining than we do being grateful. Invite the Spirit of God to open your eyes to all you have to be thankful for!

3. HUMILITY(submission)
Ephesians 5:21 – “Submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.”

The word “submit” literally means “to arrange under.” In a military context, it refers to soldiers who are willing to fall in line and listen to their leaders. They understand they are under authority and willingly follow the commands of their superiors.

This is an act of humility that does not come naturally. It comes as the Spirit leads our life. To submit means to let go of selfish agendas for the good of others. This is the way of Christ for the church, and this is the call of Christ for the Christian.

If the Spirit has never led you, your life has been about following the flesh.

Today, you can experience a life of worship, gratitude, and humility in Jesus Christ.

Being filled with the Spirit means you must relinquish control of your life. Will you?

Will you trust Jesus as a good and kind Lord?

He is eager to welcome you and share the Spirit with you!
