The Jesus of the Seminar: Away With the Manger? #3

December 3, 2008
Some scholars say that the Bibles' record of Christ's teachings is mostly an embellished myth from the imaginations of men. Let's take a break from the race of life and focus on this: if what Jesus said can't be trusted, your soul is in eternal jeopardy. So-called scholars aside, today we'll learn that the accuracy of the written scriptures is guaranteed by the Holy Spirit of God Himself.

Where would life be without Post-It notes: those yellow squares that keep us on track with all the things we have to take care of? Reminders are good things, since by nature we tend to forget. The Apostle Peter wanted to remind his readers about some key truths regarding the person of Jesus Christ. In an age where Jesus is being discredited by scholars, we need these reminders.

It's the height of intellectual arrogance: scholars around a table decide what sayings of Jesus they think are genuine. It's called the Jesus Seminar, where so-called experts try to demystify Jesus by voting on which of His teachings square with their preconceived notions of what He would or would not say. Today: we'll look at a blatant attempt to discredit the real Christ.

Some Bible promises were for certain people, while others apply to all believers. Keeping this straight solves many problems. Just because Joshua prayed for the sun to stand still doesn't mean we can. It just isn't true that "every promise in the book is mine." But there are powerful Bible promises we can and should stake our lives on. To learn how to discern what they are, stay with us.

Fireworks can briefly bring the light of the sun to the night sky. But when Joshua needed more daylight for battle, he just prayed. The Bible says the sun stood still in the Valley of Ajilon, as God fought for Israel. Of course, a scientist would scoff at the idea of the sun actually standing still. So what really happened on that fateful day? Stay with us, as we consider the options.

Many of us pray for little things, where there isn't much risk. Then there's Joshua, who prayed for big things...I mean really big things. He needed more daylight to defeat an enemy, so he asked God to make the sun stand still. Now that's faith. Today: lessons we can learn from an event that seems to defy the rules of nature. Stay with us, as we pay a visit to the Valley of Ajilon.

God in His grace has a way of turning our lemons into lemonade. He can make good come even out of our bad decisions. Joshua cut a bad deal with the Gibeonites, but God used it for the long-term benefit of His people. And guess what...He can use your bad calls to work out His ultimate purposes. Today: insights on what can come from your bad decisions.

All of us have made promises we wish we didn't have to keep...promises made in haste, promises made without the Lord's counsel. But Joshua shows us what to do once we've made a promise: and that is to keep it. Living with the consequences reminds us to not make future choices without consulting the Lord. Today: more insights on how to handle your bad decisions.
November 24, 2008
It happens to all of us. Despite our best intentions, we make poor decisions, and then have to live with the consequences. Part of running life's race is dealing with those bad decisions. Are you stuck with the after-effects of a bad move you've made? Joshua made a poor call during his conquest of Canaan, and how he dealt with it can help us deal with our bad choices. Want to know more?

It's sad, but it's true. Many believers attempt to manage their sins rather than to confess and forsake them. They think they can control their lives and keep a lid on the infection eating them up inside. They're sure they can contain the damage, and keep their sins a secret. But the story of Achan proves otherwise. Today: the sober conclusions you and I must understand.
November 20, 2008
Every time you cheat or steal, remember the story of Achan. No sin remains undiscovered. God is watching. Many believers are tripped up in life's race by what they may think is only a little sin. They fail to understand that all sin deeply offends a holy God. Joshua's defeat at Ai teaches us that sin infects others, and must be dealt with severely.
