Question for the day: What drew you to the place you made your last purchase?

What can we pray for YOU about today?

Good morning,

This is just a reminder that every day, while we are studying God’s Word to add to our website, someone from our ministry, Dysmas Conduit, is holding you up before the Lord in prayer. May He greatly bless you today as you pursue His will and He is glorified through you.

Today’s Chapter in God’s Word

1 Corinthians 4

Listen at

http://www.audiotreasure.com/webindex.htm

1-4

Don't imagine us leaders to be something we aren't. We are servants of Christ, not his masters. We are guides into God's most sublime secrets, not security guards posted to protect them. The requirements for a good guide are reliability and accurate knowledge. It matters very little to me what you think of me, even less where I rank in popular opinion. I don't even rank myself. Comparisons in these matters are pointless. I'm not aware of anything that would disqualify me from being a good guide for you, but that doesn't mean much. The Master makes that judgment.

5

So don't get ahead of the Master and jump to conclusions with your judgments before all the evidence is in. When he comes, he will bring out in the open and place in evidence all kinds of things we never even dreamed of—inner motives and purposes and prayers. Only then will any one of us get to hear the "Well done!" of God.

6

All I'm doing right now, friends, is showing how these things pertain to Apollos and me so that you will learn restraint and not rush into making judgments without knowing all the facts. It's important to look at things from God's point of view. I would rather not see you inflating or deflating reputations based on mere hearsay.

7-8

For who do you know that really knows you, knows your heart? And even if they did, is there anything they would discover in you that you could take credit for? Isn't everything you have and everything you are sheer gifts from God? So what's the point of all this comparing and competing? You already have all you need. You already have more access to God than you can handle. Without bringing either Apollos or me into it, you're sitting on top of the world—at least God's world—and we're right there, sitting alongside you!

9-13

It seems to me that God has put us who bear his Message on stage in a theater in which no one wants to buy a ticket. We're something everyone stands around and stares at, like an accident in the street. We're the Messiah's misfits. You might be sure of yourselves, but we live in the midst of frailties and uncertainties. You might be well-thought-of by others, but we're mostly kicked around. Much of the time we don't have enough to eat, we wear patched and threadbare clothes, we get doors slammed in our faces, and we pick up odd jobs anywhere we can to eke out a living. When they call us names, we say, "God bless you." When they spread rumors about us, we put in a good word for them. We're treated like garbage, potato peelings from the culture's kitchen. And it's not getting any better.

14-16

I'm not writing all this as a neighborhood scold just to make you feel rotten. I'm writing as a father to you, my children. I love you and want you to grow up well, not spoiled. There are a lot of people around who can't wait to tell you what you've done wrong, but there aren't many fathers willing to take the time and effort to help you grow up. It was as Jesus helped me proclaim God's Message to you that I became your father. I'm not, you know, asking you to do anything I'm not already doing myself.

17

This is why I sent Timothy to you earlier. He is also my dear son, and true to the Master. He will refresh your memory on the instructions I regularly give all the churches on the way of Christ.

18-20

I know there are some among you who are so full of themselves they never listen to anyone, let alone me. They don't think I'll ever show up in person. But I'll be there sooner than you think, God willing, and then we'll see if they're full of anything but hot air. God's Way is not a matter of mere talk; it's an empowered life.

21

So how should I prepare to come to you? As a severe disciplinarian who makes you toe the mark? Or as a good friend and counselor who wants to share heart-to-heart with you? You decide.

CURRENT PRAYER REQUESTS:

Please pray for Mike and Sandy Brommer as they spread the Lord’s Seed and witness to His glory while on the road today. Please pray also that the Lord will lead him to Kingdom-profitable loads to carry, and that He grants them safe passage today.

THANK YOU FOR PRAYING FOR PASTOR BOB ALLMANN

Please remain in prayer concerning his continued healing and that he is upheld by the Spirit, becoming physically strong as he returns to serving the Lord… what he loves to do!

Please continue to pray for Billy Hamburg, whose doctors found 5 tumors in his bladder. He had surgery June 29^th and the biopsy results showed a cancerous condition. He will be undergoing chemo & radiation treatments and will need the Lord’s Hand to overcome his anxiety as well as the cancer.

UPDATE:

After more testing, the doctors have found that, despite the number of tumors found in and around the bladder, that the cancer has NOT spread to any surrounding muscle tissue or organs. They are looking at completely removing the bladder and replacing it with a piece of intestine. WE PRAISE GOD AND GIVE HIM THE GLORY FOR THIS; WE ALSO PRAY THAT BILLY WILL RECOGNIZE THIS AS GOD WORKING IN HIS LIFE!!!!!!!!!

Keegan has had a few set backs. He has had blood in his stools. They did an abdominal x-ray and it showed Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC). Which means damage and death of cells in the intestine and inflammation of the colon (lower part of the intestine). It appears to be very mild. If it was severe it could mean surgery. They are taking x-rays a couple times a day and they are improving each time. They found the blood Sunday night at about 11:30 pm. Then started the x-rays. His last diaper was negative for blood. They say that this was probably caused by a shortage of oxygen during or after surgery or from being on the by-pass machine. So the brain recognized that there was a shortage of oxygen and sent it to the heart and brain not the intestines. For this we are grateful. If something had to be short on oxygen we are glad it was not the brain or heart. This would have caused irreversible damage. It appears that he will recover fully from this.

His white count is out of whack because of this and the infections and he is on a couple of antibiotics. They took his food away (just when he started to take a bottle again). And they put a drainage tube into his stomach via the nose. This has helped a ton. He feels much better and slept well last night. He has to be NPO (without food) for about 7 days. So this means he will probably be here another week or so. We take it day by day and it changes day by day. He still has pacer wires in his chest in case there is an emergency. There is still some drainage from around the wires. They said that they think it is ok as long as there is no fluid around the heart. They will do another Echo to make sure but are confident that there is not any.

He has had set backs but we still have our baby boy. Please keep praying for him. Some days I feel like the evil one is here and doing this. I know our God would not do this to our son. I keep praying over him for the evil one to leave and for the Holy Spirit to fill him and this hospital. We know our God is stronger and smarter than the devil. Keegan will make it through this and get better. It is just hard to take but we will make it.

We have confidence in the doctors and nurses here and I have been in contact with our own family dr. He is very reassuring to us. It is a blessing to talk to him, someone we know and trust. We thank God for him and all of you for all of the support.

Please continue your prayers for Keegan and that he will heal and nothing more will go wrong.

Thank you, David & Traci

Good morning, Church!

John 13:16, "I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master."

In America, we enjoy a consumer-centered culture. When we go to a restaurant, the staff goes out of their way to cater to us. If they don't, we don't go back. "Will I go to Kroger or HEB today?" My answer to that question will largely depend on how well they each served me the last time I was there. Whether it's a hotel or car dealership, an air conditioner repair shop or an airline, they all know their bottom-line is connected to how well they serve the consumer.

And then there is Jesus and His Church.

Listen to what He says in John 13:12-17, "When Jesus had finished washing their feet, He returned to His place. 'Do you understand what I have done for you?' He asked them. 'You call Me "Teacher" and "Lord", and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.'"

Doesn't Jesus get it? The way to attract people is to cater to their consumerism. The way to keep them coming back is to promise better service than the other guy does, not call them to be the ones serving!

But that's just it. Jesus DOES get it. He's not into attracting people, He's into developing people. If you want to keep someone self-focused and self-concerned, cater to their every need. If you want to develop a person, invite them to become a servant along with the Master.

We have begun using a turn of phrase around Gloria Dei: "Every servant serving." It's not a slogan to get stuff done around the church; it's a way of developing people to be the Church.

Some might say, "But I don't have time to do much serving!" Jesus would say, "The reason you have time is to serve."

A consumer-centered culture works on a number of levels, but not at the level of the Spirit. There Jesus calls us to be counter-cultural. After all, when your Master is a servant, what else could we be?

Will you pray with me? Dear Jesus, you are my Master. And yet you are the master servant. You have washed my feet and washed away my sin. You have served me as my Master! How can I do anything else today other than serve my Master by being the servant? Thank you for the privilege of serving along your side today. Amen!

Be wise and be Church,

Pastor Greg

Slaying the Giant of Failure - Part 2

Wednesday, September 30, 2009

Would you say you enjoy failing? Most of us would respond with a resounding, "NO!" to that question. And it's no wonder when our society is driven by success. Entire companies are dedicated to helping students achieve successful SAT scores, and companies reward employees for excellent performance. No one's saying that success is bad, but why do we fear failure? In this message, we'll learn that failing one time or many times doesn't diminish our usefulness to God.

Today’s Chapter in God’s Word

1 Corinthians 3

Listen at

http://www.audiotreasure.com/webindex.htm

1-4

But for right now, friends, I'm completely frustrated by your unspiritual dealings with each other and with God. You're acting like infants in relation to Christ, capable of nothing much more than nursing at the breast. Well, then, I'll nurse you since you don't seem capable of anything more. As long as you grab for what makes you feel good or makes you look important, are you really much different than a babe at the breast, content only when everything's going your way? When one of you says, "I'm on Paul's side," and another says, "I'm for Apollos," aren't you being totally infantile?

5-9

Who do you think Paul is, anyway? Or Apollos, for that matter? Servants, both of us—servants who waited on you as you gradually learned to entrust your lives to our mutual Master. We each carried out our servant assignment. I planted the seed, Apollos watered the plants, but God made you grow. It's not the one who plants or the one who waters who is at the center of this process but God, who makes things grow. Planting and watering are menial servant jobs at minimum wages. What makes them worth doing is the God we are serving. You happen to be God's field in which we are working.

9-15

Or, to put it another way, you are God's house. Using the gift God gave me as a good architect, I designed blueprints; Apollos is putting up the walls. Let each carpenter who comes on the job take care to build on the foundation! Remember, there is only one foundation, the one already laid: Jesus Christ. Take particular care in picking out your building materials. Eventually there is going to be an inspection. If you use cheap or inferior materials, you'll be found out. The inspection will be thorough and rigorous. You won't get by with a thing. If your work passes inspection, fine; if it doesn't, your part of the building will be torn out and started over. But you won't be torn out; you'll survive—but just barely.

16-17

You realize, don't you, that you are the temple of God, and God himself is present in you? No one will get by with vandalizing God's temple, you can be sure of that. God's temple is sacred—and you, remember, are the temple.

18-20

Don't fool yourself. Don't think that you can be wise merely by being up-to-date with the times. Be God's fool—that's the path to true wisdom. What the world calls smart, God calls stupid. It's written in Scripture,

He exposes the chicanery of the chic.
The Master sees through the smoke screens
of the know-it-alls.

21-23

I don't want to hear any of you bragging about yourself or anyone else. Everything is already yours as a gift—Paul, Apollos, Peter, the world, life, death, the present, the future—all of it is yours, and you are privileged to be in union with Christ, who is in union with God.

CURRENT PRAYER REQUESTS:

Please lift up Steve and Stacey Hill and their family. Steve’s mother, Sharon Hill, passed away yesterday morning. May the Lord shower them with the comfort and peace that can only come from Him. -- Wendy Kall

After Drs tended to the seizures and reassessed Ann's (Tewksbury-Hart) condition, they discovered a ping pong-sized mass believed to be a tumor in her brain. Surgery was postponed until today and a biopsy will be done to determine if the tumor is cancerous and the next plan of action.

I just talked with Lela Toner and she said Keegan has an infection in his bowel and it is causing pain and bloody stools. They have decided to take him off of food and to only keep him on IVs to dehydrate him and electrolytes. Lela is heading to Ann Arbor to stay with David and Traci so please pray for safe traveling time for her and continue to lift this little one to our Lord. After all Keegan belongs to Him.

A Mere Piece of Bronze

Marybeth Whalen

"He removed the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke into pieces the bronze snake Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had been burning incense to it.

(It was called Nehushtan)."

II Kings 18:4 (NIV)

Devotion:

I used to have a quote, cut from a magazine article, taped above my desk. I can't recall the exact quote, but the gist of it was that while our children are gifts from God, it's easy to let them become little idols. I remember the shock value of reading those words printed on the page. My children? Idols? It sounded like heresy! But as I allowed the words to sink in, I realized that the person who penned those words was right. Most anything can become an idol in our hearts -becoming more important than our relationship with God, taking priority over His place in our life.

In Numbers 21:8-9, God told the Israelites to raise a bronze snake on a pole and look to it in order to be healed. Seven hundred years later, the Israelites had gotten off track. They had turned that snake - something that was God's idea -into an idol they worshiped. In our verse for today, we see Hezekiah destroying the snake in an effort to turn the people's hearts back to God. The word Nehushtan in the verse means "a mere piece of bronze." The bronze snake was not the answer to the people's problems. They had attached too much significance to it. Hezekiah had no choice but to refocus their attention where it needed to be by physically removing the idol.

Idols can take many forms in our lives. Family members and friends can become idols. Doctors and medicine can become idols. Work and hobbies can become idols. Entertainment - movies, TV, music, games - can become idols. Food can become an idol. An idol by definition is anything that we place our trust in, anything that takes precedence over God. While we may not pray to it and burn incense to it, it becomes more important than anything, including God. Just like God designed the snake to be a good thing in the lives of His people, so He allows us to have good things in our lives. He just doesn't want us to get things out of whack, as we are prone to do. It's not that the thing itself is the problem; it's our attitude about that thing.

God showed me that I needed to destroy any idols in my life. For me, I had to spend a lot of time refocusing my priorities. I started with how important I had made my husband and children. Yes, my family needed me. Yes, I needed to spend time with them. Yes, I loved them dearly. But they couldn't take the place of my relationship with the Lord. I had to put them in their proper place and renew my perspective.

This can only be done with intentionality and continual heart work. God gives us good things to enjoy - family and friends and work and food and hobbies and entertainment. But He has also given us Himself, opening the door wide for us to come before His throne. May we keep good things in their place and keep God on the throne of our lives.

Dear Lord, please get my attention when I get distracted. Help me to keep the good things in my life where they belong and to keep You first. Help me destroy any idols I have placed ahead of You, in Jesus' Name, amen.

Application Steps:

Read Numbers 21:8-9. Think about the difference in how the snake was created versus what happened with the snake 700 years later.

Reflections:

Is there something God is bringing to your mind that was a good thing that has gotten out of whack in your life?

Power Verses:

I Timothy 6:17, "Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment." (NIV)

John 3:14, "Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up." (NIV)

Did you know that Winston Churchill,

Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during World War II,

actually failed the sixth grade?

Perhaps you remember that Abraham Lincoln

actually lost twelve major elections

before becoming the sixteenth president of the United States?

A lot of people have failed in life,

but those moments don't define their character.

In much the same way, Dr. Jeremiah will remind us

that our failures don't define who we are –

our relationship with Christ does.

Today’s Chapter in God’s Word

1 Corinthians 2

Listen at

http://www.audiotreasure.com/webindex.htm

1-2

You'll remember, friends, that when I first came to you to let you in on God's master stroke, I didn't try to impress you with polished speeches and the latest philosophy. I deliberately kept it plain and simple: first Jesus and who he is; then Jesus and what he did—Jesus crucified.

3-5

I was unsure of how to go about this, and felt totally inadequate—I was scared to death, if you want the truth of it—and so nothing I said could have impressed you or anyone else. But the Message came through anyway. God's Spirit and God's power did it, which made it clear that your life of faith is a response to God's power, not to some fancy mental or emotional footwork by me or anyone else.

6-10

We, of course, have plenty of wisdom to pass on to you once you get your feet on firm spiritual ground, but it's not popular wisdom, the fashionable wisdom of high-priced experts that will be out-of-date in a year or so. God's wisdom is something mysterious that goes deep into the interior of his purposes. You don't find it lying around on the surface. It's not the latest message, but more like the oldest—what God determined as the way to bring out his best in us, long before we ever arrived on the scene. The experts of our day haven't a clue about what this eternal plan is. If they had, they wouldn't have killed the Master of the God-designed life on a cross. That's why we have this Scripture text:

No one's ever seen or heard anything like this,
Never so much as imagined anything quite like it—
What God has arranged for those who love him.
But you've seen and heard it because God by his Spirit has brought it all out into the open before you.

10-13

The Spirit, not content to flit around on the surface, dives into the depths of God, and brings out what God planned all along. Who ever knows what you're thinking and planning except you yourself? The same with God—except that he not only knows what he's thinking, but he lets us in on it. God offers a full report on the gifts of life and salvation that he is giving us. We don't have to rely on the world's guesses and opinions. We didn't learn this by reading books or going to school; we learned it from God, who taught us person-to-person through Jesus, and we're passing it on to you in the same firsthand, personal way.

14-16

The unspiritual self, just as it is by nature, can't receive the gifts of God's Spirit. There's no capacity for them. They seem like so much silliness. Spirit can be known only by spirit—God's Spirit and our spirits in open communion. Spiritually alive, we have access to everything God's Spirit is doing, and can't be judged by unspiritual critics. Isaiah's question, "Is there anyone around who knows God's Spirit, anyone who knows what he is doing?" has been answered: Christ knows, and we have Christ's Spirit.

A Different Way to Look at Suffering

Micca Monda Campbell

"Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus,

"but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life." John 9:3 (NIV)

Devotion:

Jesus had a unique way of clearing up misconceptions by helping people see truth as it was meant to be. For example, in John 9 we find Jesus refuting the traditional explanation of suffering when His disciples point to a man born blind and ask, "Who sinned, this man or his parents?" In other words, they wanted to know Why did he deserve blindness? Jesus answers frankly, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life."

The disciples looked backwards to find out why the man was blind. Jesus redirects their attention by pointing forward and upward with a new and different perspective.

Usually, our response to challenges or suffering is determined by our perspective.

When our focus is inward on ourselves or outward on circumstances, our natural response is fear, insecurity, grumbling and despair. I know. I've been there far too often. Have you?

Yet, Jesus redirects our questions and our focus. In doing so, it causes us to see suffering in a new light that disproves the old tradition. Not all suffering is a direct result of sin. Pain has a higher purpose in our lives. It's not necessarily there because we deserve it. It's to reveal God's glory.

Suffering is meant to refine us. James says it makes us "perfect and complete, lacking in nothing" (1:4b, ESV). Pain drives us to seek the heart and will of God.

Perhaps you and I have been going at it all wrong. We've been looking backwards in the rearview mirror of life asking, "Why? What did I do to deserve this?" Instead, we should look forward and up asking, "What's the purpose of my pain? What's the end result? What is God trying to do, accomplish, or teach me?"

These types of questions enable us to hold out hope for the future. They remind us our suffering can be transformed or redeemed. Tragedies and hardships like the loss of a spouse, a child, a limb, a job, or a home can be used to display God's work and make us more like Jesus.

Isn't it time you and I looked up? An upward focus brings about a supernatural response that reflects trust and confidence in God, as He brings about His glorious work in each of us.

Dear Lord, give me a new perspective today. Help me see the real meaning of my suffering. Enable me to trust You with the good work You are accomplishing in my life through this pain. I long for You to be glorified in this trial. Give me the strength I need to make that happen. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Application Steps:

Choose not to look in the review mirror of life today. Instead, look forward. Ask God "to what end" is my suffering. Look for evidence of how God is at work refining your faith and character to match His.

Reflections:

What do you think God is trying to accomplish in your life through your suffering?

The blind man learned something about Christ from being healed. What have you learned about Christ from your experience?

Power Verses:

1 Peter 4:12-13, "Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed" (NIV).

Slaying the Giant of Procrastination - Part 2

Monday, September 28, 2009

Do you feel it's acceptable for your doctor to notify you

three months after a positive cancer test?

Would it be okay if the fire crew took their time

getting to your burning home? Of course not!

Procrastination in these situations could mean

the difference between life and death.

So why do we find procrastination acceptable in our Christian walk?

In this message, we discover that procrastination can keep us from opportunities to serve God and recognize our need for Him.
