Life to the Full: Radically, Part 2
September 28, 2020
We tend to think about glory as just heaven or something in the far beyond. When the Bible talks about glory, it is the gravity, the weight, the brilliance of God—that which makes God special. God is glory, and therefore knowing Him is glorious.

Free Resource | Does the Bible Promote Tolerance or Intolerance?
One group says the Bible is a book about love, mercy, and kindness. They think of the story of the Good Samaritan and of Jesus telling us to turn the other cheek. So how could anyone think the Bible prevents a tolerant society? But for another group, the Bible is far from tolerant. There’s the conquest of Canaan. There’s Elijah killing Baal’s prophets by his own hand. And in the New Testament, Jesus talks often about hell. That’s not tolerant. What then can we say in answer to this question?

We used to believe that science was going to solve all our problems, the economy was always going to boom, and politicians were always honorable. Now people do not trust the military, the politicians, or the scientists. But God is unchanging.

Theological tribalism is so human. Some look with great fear upon Calvinism, and others think it's the club to belong to. Instead, we need to be driven by the Bible and what it teaches.

With all the information overload today, it's never been easier to keep the truth of God at a distance. It becomes just another piece of information we scroll past and ignore.

The Church today needs to rediscover the heroism of Christian suffering. So often today preachers try to make everything easy—"follow what I say and your life will never have trouble again." Preachers are tempted to say what their listeners long to hear. But then we rob Christians of the opportunity for heroism in the face of difficulty.

The Greeks in this passage were on the right track; they were seeking salvation and wanted to be with and know Jesus. He teaches that His salvation and knowing Him is better than anything and anyone else on this earth.

We assume that the way to have the best life is to love your life. But Jesus said this common intuition is incorrect. It is counterintuitive both intellectually and emotionally that dying would be the path to fruition in life. The truth is that the cross and its impact upon our lives is the very last thing that we would expect, and yet it is the path to newness of life.

Strategic planning from smart people can invigorate an economy, but there's no telling when the next economic crash may occur. In our human wisdom, we are likely to be forgotten if we're right or sorry if we're wrong.

Perhaps there is something in your life right now that you do not understand. Maybe it's something intellectual like a doctrine, or a place of suffering and you aren't sure why God would allow it. It is only through the lens of the cross and the resurrection, and ultimately heaven, through which everything can be understood.

Church stuff, like the music or the building or the good works people do, is not what church is meant to be about. Jesus is real and present by his spirit, and church is about Him. You can meet him and know Him.

Mary's anointing of Jesus is preached about and remembered to this day. This extraordinary, sacrificial gift has reverberated down through the years and calls us to realize that our sacrifices for Jesus will have an eternal impact as well.
