Spoiled Rotten

January 12, 2011

Often we complain when there are consequences for our actions, however if we weren’t God’s children and He didn’t love us, there would be no consequences.  In early Scriptures, the consequences for someone’s sin meant that something, unblemished and without spot, had to die.  Because of Christ’s death on the cross as payment for our sin, we are spoiled rotten to the point that all we have to do is truly repent and be clean.  There will be consequences, just as a shepherd breaks the legs of his sheep before returning it to the flock, however we should be grateful because our consequences are given to us out of love, and we must genuinely learn from them.

We have the luxury of texting, e-mailing, skyping, or other forms of communicating.  None of these equal the encouragement it brings to someone to see him or her in person.  Paul understood this and that is why he traveled to different cities to minister to people.  He knew it was important in discipleship to not just lead them to God but to follow up.  We believe in a God who came down in person and lived among us here on earth before dying for our sins.  We ought to follow the Lord’s prompting and show up wherever He leads us in person – at work, at a neighbor’s, a friend’s, or even a different country.

When Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane, He laid prostrate before God, overcome with sorrow because He knew what was to come.  He knew the contents of the cup He must drink and He asked God to take it from Him.  We all have certain struggles in our lives that we must fight.  Our flesh is weak, and that is why carrying our cross, as Jesus calls us to do, involves dying to ourselves and finding new life in Christ.  We must, as Jesus did, accept the cup God gives us and glorify Him through our struggles, all the while remaining prostrate before Him saying not what I will, but what You will.

It is a fact of life that tragedy happens.  The question is how you will respond after the fact.  Will you worship God despite your circumstances, or will you shake your fist at him when tragedy occurs?  Everyone can make plans in their lives, but we must always remember to leave those plans open for God to change them.  Sometimes the way God gets us to where he wants us to go is never the way we would have chosen, and still we must worship him.

About Richard Ellis

Authentic... Genuine... Sincere... This guy is the real deal. He loves God. He loves his wife Rebecca and his 3 daughters. He loves people. He loves his job. He loves Texas BBQ. He loves an occasional round of golf. And he loves the Dallas Cowboys (but don’t hold that against him!).

Richard grew up as a missionary kid in Brazil, coming back to the states to finish his education. He graduated from Baylor University in 1982 with a BA in Oral Communications, and earned his MDIV in 1985 from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, making him the sixth generation of pastors in his family. His early days of ministry included serving for three years as the Single Adults Pastor at the First Baptist Church of Dallas.

Then in 1997, Richard Ellis founded Reunion Church, a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, non-denominational church in the heart of Dallas,Texas. Dallas needed a church like it. And it would need a pastor like Richard. So Reunion Church was born. And now the radio show and the website (www.RichardEllisTalks.com) join the Reunion Church community under the leadership of this guy. And we’re all the better for it!
