The Violent Gospel, Part 3

January 2, 2014
As we serve God, what is our point of motivation?  What drives our life with Christ?  Is it law? Guilt? A debt service to God?  Or is it what it was always intended to be-the Gospel. The Christian life was never meant to be casual. There is no easy Christianity; no mild Christianity. It is violent or nothing.

David in this account was physically weary from travel and emotionally drained because of his son Absalom’s rebellion - when he was confronted by an angry embittered man. David displayed a quality that would wipe out most ministry personnel problems, marital issues, emotional stress and consistent self-justification. It could heal broken families; it could cure those afflicted with the disease of victimhood. It can start those who have spiritually stalled. Without this internal quality, spiritual transformation will be muted at best. David in our text reveals the great quality of meekness.

Psalm 118:24, "This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it". If the day of the Cross was God’s day amongst all days, then there were two great spheres that were impacted by the death of God’s Son on the earth - heaven and earth. With the world spiraling downward, with our theology being muddied with social activism, it is more important than ever that God’s people embrace the full significance of the Cross.

Often times in life, if not in most cases, we will face great failure - inexplicable failure that can haunt us. Maybe we have lived a life of folly, wasting our years in wantonness, making one bad decision after another, resulting in a life of shattered dreams and relationships in the present. Maybe you think your best years have passed you by. What more could God do with me? Well “It Ain't Over till it’s Over.”

About Tim Kelley

Tim Kelley, at the age of 18, surrendered his life and heart to Jesus Christ. After receiving his degree in Biblical Studies, he relocated to St. Petersburg, Florida. In July of 1989 he became the senior pastor of Grace Connection Church and launched a local radio broadcast called “Grace Thoughts”, a daily radio program broadcast in the Tampa Bay region http://wtis1110.com/ and is now heard at www.oneplace.com. Pastor Kelley is now in his 33th year in public ministry here in the Tampa Bay area. He is an avid sports fan of the Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, and the Boston Celtics. As you may have guessed, our pastor grew up in New England in the Plymouth Mass. area. Pastor Kelley’s two greatest and heartfelt passions are teaching and preaching a clear gospel of God’s grace and its impact in our daily lives, as well as his love and compassion for people (even if they are not New England Fans).  Pastor Kelley has a Master’s Degree in Biblical Studies and is currently pursuing a second Masters in Counseling, graduating in May 2013.  He is happily married to his beautiful wife of 27 years, Peggy. They have one child at home, Sadie Lynne.  Their beautiful daughter Hannah Grace, in February 2012, went home to be with the Lord, due to a firearm mishap after a church service. Pastor Kelley and Peggy have started the Hannah Grace Foundation in memory of their daughter, which raises funds for the housing, care and education of children and young adults, here locally in the Tampa Bay region, throughout America as well as the third world.
