Good morning

Today’s photo of an amazing sunrise sky over what is presumably one of the peaks of the Kentucky Appalachians Mountains comes to us a friend who moved from the Empire State to make the Bluegrass State their home but even though the sights may be different they still have their eyes on the sky and have an appreciation for the beauty of God’s creation and in sharing its wonder with their friends on social media.  

Well, it’s Saturday and while things may be significantly different for me this morning as I am a houseguest of my beloved, TammyLyn, some things don’t change even if we find ourselves in new and unfamiliar settings.  As our friend in Kentucky discovered that the sun still rises everyday and they can expect God to provide them with the opportunity to experience its wonder, I discovered that even though I didn’t set an alarm or make any concrete plans for my “morning process”, I still rose long before the sun came up to connect with the Lord and to share a reason to be encouraged and to have hope for those who know there is a God and who have chosen to follow a spiritual course with their lives by making Jesus their Lord and Savior and to consider and follow the wisdom that is found in God’s Word. 

While my bearings have been thrown off this morning and I am surrounded by a curious pair of cats and dog who seems to only be calmed by constant human contact, my heart and my thoughts are still drawn to share a few insights and encouragements  and to wish my friends a peaceful day and weekend.   

As I sit in darkness, I could imagine that my canine companion is that children’s television superstar, Blue, and we have begun a new day to look for another “clue”  that would help us to determine whether someone we are interested in as being a life partner is a “real” or authentic Christian.  

Like Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson,  the Blue in my imagination and me go where the “clues” take us and where “the game is afoot” and persist even when the trail runs cold.   As we looked to a different process to draw today’s Bible verse, Blue and I have stumbled across another possible “clue” that could help us to find a “real “Christian”.    

As investigators of spiritual truth, we have to have “an ear to hear” and we need to listen to the word’s that the subjects of our investigations use and how they refer to themselves. 

I must admit that even though I was pretty sure that I had found a faithful Christian woman to make my wife for the rest of of my days, the investigation is ongoing, and I am ecstatic to report that in terms of faith and a desire to follow the Lord, my continual conversations, and interviews with TammyLyn has only discovered more “clues” that my “girlfriend” really is who she appears to be. Our talks  and my probing questions have only confirmed that she is an authentic Christian.   

So I would recommend talking about the things of God with your potential partner to reveal the depths of their theological understanding and their devotion to love the Lord and endeavor to follow His ways for their life.   

So today’s “clue” is a verbal one and ironically it has not been one that I have heard  spoken by my girlfriend.  So I will have to see how she comes down on this particular phrase and whether or not she uses it in referring to her faith. 

As today’s Bible verse will reveal the source of today’s inspiration for investigation, we address the question of being “born again” as a “clue” to someone being a Christian.  

Okay, I know this is a pretty “specific” phrase that we are looking to hear coming from our potential significant other, but I would say that its specificity and the rarity of its use in casual conversation make the phrase “born again” to be a really good clue to indicate that a person is a Christian.  

I mean you don’t really hear the phrase “born again” used in concert with any other faith system, so if we hear someone refer to themselves as “born again” we can quickly ascertain a few things.   S

Someone using the phrase “born again” to describe their Christian faith most  likely:

·       Believes in the Bible or attends a church that professes to. 

The phrase “born again” isn’t some made up term that someone created to describe a higher level of Christianity. It is a phrase that Jesus used, in the Bible.  So, anyone calling themselves a “born again Christian” either is a “Bible believing Christian” themselves or has been taught by “Bible believing Christians”.   

Also People who call themselves “born again” most likely:

·       Have a lifestyle that includes regular worship and spiritual practices.   

The term “born again” is not a casual term and those who use it probably don’t have a casual faith life.  My understanding of the term “born again” was that some who was “born again” had a devout faith life. “Born again” Christians were those devoutly crazy members of the body of Christ who not only went to church on a regular basis, they also were known to actually read the Bible, prayed out loud sometimes, and would share the gospel with others, in public.    

And finally, the phrase “born again” also described people who

·       Tried to abstain from sin and practiced a Biblical moral code.  

Not only did those crazy “born again’s” believe in the Bible and have a lifestyle with regular spiritual practices, but they also tried to “be holy” by having a strict moral code with clear standards that were based on the Bible’s teachings. They would also actually “practice what the preach” by living a morally upstanding life.   

So if in our investigations, we hear the phrase “born again” being used to describe someone’s faith, we can either rejoice that we have found someone who will join us enthusiastically as we try to walk the path of Christian discipleship or be apprehensive at the thought that our new “born again” love interest may have “more faith” then us because the term “born again’ generally describes someone who has Biblically based faith that is supported by regular spiritual practices and strong moral convictions.   

However, just as there are genuine forms of currency that are very valuable, there can also be counterfeits.   So while I would say that as much of the term “born again” could indicate an authentic Christian faith, unfortunately it is possible that people professing to be “born again” could only have an outward showing of piety covering a hidden agenda that could include sinful proclivities or Machiavellian methods of manipulation.

So, while we may think that we have hit the motherlode by finding a “born again Christian, we still have to remember Jesus’ teachings that not only will His disciples follow His commandments, but they would also be know for their love for one another and that the proof of someone’s authenticity is in the fruit of righteousness in their lives. 

So keep walking and talking and God, show yourself to be “born of the Spirit” by seeking the Lord, following His ways, and by sharing His love with others on the earth.   

 

This morning’s meditation verse is:

John 3:7 (NKJV)
⁷  Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'

Today’s verse contains the words of Jesus and instruct that we must be born again. 

Well, now you know what motivated, our “Blue’s Clue of the Christian Faith” for this morning. Because of my decision to take advantage of my love’s gracious invitation to weekend at here house, I was miles away from my stack of index cards from which I normally draw the “verse of the day” from.  So this morning I decided to utilize one of the many daily devotional eBooks that I own to randomly select a verse for today. 

So I to give credit where credit is due I drew today’s verse from “365 Days in The Presence of God: Daily Devotions from the Sermons of Dr. Frank Ray.”  365 Days in His presence seemed to be in line with my theme of Christian Discipleship 24/7 so even though I don’t know Dr. Frank Ray or his work, his 2004 devotional book is credited for giving us John 3:7 today.      

Anyway, John 3 is the chapter in the Bible from which the term “born again” comes from and as today’s verse states Jesus doesn’t indicate that “being born again” is a matter of debate.  We must be born again.  

To understand what this phrase means, we should examine the context in which Christ used it.  

In this section of scripture, Jesus is meeting with Nicodemus and discussing spiritual truth. As a Pharisee,  Nicodemus was well versed in the Old Testament scriptures and attempted to live his life according to the law.  So in terms of knowing the law and the things to do, Nicodemus had a wealth of instruction, but Jesus challenge this Pharisee’s knowledge by stating that in order to see the kingdom of God, he must be “born of water and the Spirit”.  While we could think of this phrasing to be ultra-spiritual and mysterious, as their conversation progresses, Christ makes the requirements of salvation clear in verse 16:

John 3:16 (NKJV)
¹⁶  For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

In this discourse, Christ makes it clear that salvation, entrance into the kingdom of God, and everlasting life are not earned through the keeping of the law. It is through faith in Christ, by believing in the only begotten Son, that men will not perish but have everlasting life.  

So as much as we pointed out what the term “born again” may look like in the life of a believer with the outward signs of a profession of belief of the truth of the Bible, performing spiritual practices, and having strong moral convictions, none of these things make us “born again”.  It is only through faith that we are born of the Spirit.  

So do not marvel, that Christ says that we must be born again. When we place our faith in Christ we receive a new and eternal spiritual life that we didn’t have before. The term “born again” is representative of that new life and points to the fact that as Christians we are new creations and have freedom from sin and death.  

So remember, we don’t earn our place into the kingdom. God shows us the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and we place our faith, or believe, in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and are forever changed.   While our enjoying the fruit of the Spirit in our lives is dependent on our faith and our following the Lord’s wisdom and ways, we are born of the Spirit by simply believing in the Son. 

So keep walking and talking with God, rejoice this weekend at the fact that nothing can separate you from the love of God and that you have everlasting life but remember that the Lord has an abundant life for you to walk into while you are still here on the earth and the way that we find it is to listen to His voice in the Word of God and with our spirit and to follow Him where He leads.

III. Causes

Some recipes are not as easy as they seem, especially when many ingredients are added to the mixture. And in situations where there has been a divorce, more than just the members of the family are involved. Other parents from other marriages are blended into the mix. A major difficulty will be establishing lines of authority for children who spend a great deal of time with a natural parent. Children also resent leaving a parent who now is not part of the new family makeup. If there can be open lines of communication among all the adults involved, children will be able to accept guidelines for their behavior more readily.

"Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you." (Exodus 20:12)

A. Major Causes of Failure

• First Marriage
• —immature spouse
• —sexual difficulties
• —relatives
• —value systems
• —social adjustments
• Second Marriage
• —child rearing
• —financial difficulties
• —relatives
• —value systems
• —sharing tasks

B. The Stepfamily Sabotage

Your emotional health is of critical importance when you are faced with the new challenges of parenting, the pain of separating from past marriages and the stress of interacting with ex-spouses. Your responses to the challenges will greatly affect the failure or the success of your new family. Although no two families are alike, all will have varying degrees of the following emotions:

"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!" (Isaiah 43:18)

• Loss
• —All members are dealing with the loss of the nuclear family.
• —Children are grieving the loss of a parent.
• —Spouses are grieving the loss of significant relationships.
• Fear
• —Children fear loss of affection.
• —Children fear the unknown.
• —Spouses fear a second failure.
• —Stepparents fear rejection.
• Anger
• —Both children and stepparents may be angry over lack of acceptance.
• —Children may be angry over too little or too much discipline from stepparent.
• —Stepparent may be angry over additional financial commitments and responsibilities.
• —Both children and stepparents may be angry over unfulfilled expectations, dreams and goals.
• Guilt
• —Children feel guilty over divided loyalty.
• —Children feel guilty about being responsible for the failure of the first marriage.
• —Children feel guilty about not accepting and loving the stepparent.
• —Spouses feel guilty over the divorce and its effect on the children.
• —Spouses feel guilty over giving priority to bonding with the new spouse.
• —Spouses feel guilty over not loving stepchildren.

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." (Hebrews 12:1)

C. Root Cause of Marriage Failure... The Second Time Around

 

Wrong Belief:

"I must be perfect in this new marriage in order to project a healthy family image and to prove my success as a marriage partner and as a parent."

Right Belief:

I cannot be a perfect parent or make others happy all the time. I will rely on the Holy Spirit, who gives me the wisdom and love to respond in a Christlike manner in all my family relationships.

"I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:13-14)

Encouragement for the Path of Christian Discipleship

Am I a Christian, Blue? – Checking the Clues 2   - Purity 537

Good morning

Today’s photo of a roadside meadow and tree line underneath a cloud filled September sky comes to us from yours truly as I felt moved to just stop and grab this moment of simple scenic beauty while I was driving through the Westerlo NY area on September 21^st, which was if you don’t recall, the last day of summer of 2021.  

I share it for its simple beauty but also because it features a road which represents moving forward and making progress.  It’s Thursday and I share pictures of pathways or roadways of some sort today as a reminder or an encouragement to take the opportunity to step on, or keep walking on, the path of Christian Discipleship that is defined by a life walking in the Spirit and which leads to the growth of the fruit of the Spirit and increasing levels of maturity in our Christian faith.  It just also happens to be the path that leads to freedom. 

I teach am teaching the Freedom in Christ Discipleship Course from Freedom in Christ Ministries this evening at Rock Solid Church in Hudson NY and invite anyone local to join us at 6:30pm.  For those not within driving distance of the church, I have already uploaded a podcast version of the teaching for the first three lessons and will be uploading the fourth installment after tonight’s class. So if you want to be encouraged in your faith, to learn something new, or to be equipped with the tools to overcome, or to help others overcome, personal and spiritual conflicts join us for class.

Well yesterday, we started a series in where we started an investigation in to the question of “What is a Christian?” or “Is this person a Christian?” And as the Children’s show “Blue’s Clues” was in the news recently because they celebrated 25 years of programming, I was motivated to channel the inquiring spirit of Blue and that inquisitive theme to help us look at the questions of our faith and to help us examine the “clues” that would tell us if people we encountered were “real” or authentic Christians.   

Yesterday we looked at the significant “clue” of church membership or attendance as a good indicator but not a guarantee of whether someone was an authentic Christian. 

So today when I asked “Blue” (FYI, one source states that Blue signifies the Healing Power of God (https://www.color-meanings.com/biblical-meaning-colors/) which “clue” we would be looking for today, in my imagination, “Blue” was holding a small mirror.  

In our dialog, with me asking questions and Blue murmuring as she does, I was able to discern that before we started looking for anymore “clues” about other people’s authentic Christianity,  Blue wanted me to make sure I was a real Christian!  

So I thought about the question? What in my life made me know I was a Christian?  Now while our self-examination may prove helpful to determine whether those around us are Christians, it is the question of our identity as a Christian that is really the most important thing that we can investigate and confirm.  

Blue really turned the tables on us today because while we started to look for “clues” in the outside world about other people, she wanted us to “play fair” and put ourselves to the test too.     

So if someone were to ask you when you became a Christian or how you became a Christians, what would you say, boys and girls?    

Well the “state of grace” that determines whether or not someone is a Christian has to do with whether or not we are “saved” from God’s wrath by having a reconciled relationship with God through putting our faith in Jesus Christ as Lord in Savior.  

Romans 10:9 (NKJV) tells us
⁹  that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Now this verse tells us that we are “saved” only if we confess (agree with) that Jesus is our Lord and that we believe in our heart that He was raised from the dead, meaning that we believe that Christ’s dying on the Cross was meaningful, that it paid the cost of our sins, and that Christ’s resurrection proved that He was the Son of God and God the Son.  Confessing with our mouths “the Lord Jesus” means we not only publicly identify ourselves with Jesus Christ as our Savior, but agree to live according to what Jesus taught, to be obedient.  The Apostle Peter, who was able to walk on water when he obeyed Christ’s call to “come” wrote:

1 Peter 1:13-15 (NKJV)
¹³  Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
¹⁴  as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance;
¹⁵  but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,.

I point to this verse and the fact that our conduct should be changed when we become Christians because many people don’t understand the implications of “confessing with our mouth the Lord Jesus” and I wanted to make it clear that there is more than just “saying a prayer” to being a Christian. 

But let’s make first things first.   Although we as Christians are supposed to become holy in our conduct, our entrance into God’s kingdom starts with that verbal confession. We must name and proclaim Jesus as our Lord and Savior before we can successfully live like a Christian.  

We can’t become holy first, nor are we required to.   That’s like going through boot camp before you sign up for military service.  It doesn’t work that way.  You sign an agreement with the service and then the kind and gentle drill sergeants will train and encourage you to become a soldier.  Like military service, when you sign up to be in Christ’s army you are literally signing your life away.   

So if we are looking in the mirror, and trying to determine if we “look like a Christian”, we should stop and ask ourselves: “Have I honestly confessed the Lord Jesus with my mouth, and believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead? Did I sign my life away to be saved and agree to make Jesus my Lord?”   

For me, I can point to a specific time and place when I did that. I heard a gospel message on the radio and because of it I really believed “in my heart”, not just intellectually, that God had raised Christ from the dead and that if I made Christ my Lord I would be saved.

So have you ever done that, boys, and girls?

If you don’t believe in your heart that Christ was raised from the dead by God,  that whole idea will just seem like nonsense to you, and you will be hesitant to confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord.

You won’t want to tell your friends, coworkers, or family. You won’t want to tell anyone about this crazy story of how a man dying on the cross has meaning and purpose. That Christ’s sacrifice on the cross is used to cause a reconciliation with an unseen God and man and that it gives eternal life to anyone that names Jesus their Lord and Savior.

So, hopefully most of you reading with this will say you have done this. You have confessed the Lord Jesus.  If you haven’t and want to, say this prayer:

Dear God,

I know I’m a sinner. I know my sin deserves to be punished. I believe Christ died for me and rose from you grave. I trust Jesus alone as my Lord and Savior. Thank you for the forgiveness and everlasting life I now have.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.  

Well if you said that prayer, you just signed “your life away” and joined God’s kingdom as His beloved child.  You are a Christian. You no longer have to fear death because you have been forgiven of all your sins and have eternal life.

From this point forward, because you named Jesus as your Lord, you should endeavor to follow the One who saved you by reading the word of God and applying its teachings to your life, step by step, one day at a time. 

Our Christian faith is not about perfection its about progress.  We don’t beat ourselves up when we fail, we pick ourselves up because God’s forgiven us and is encouraging us to walk into the abundant life that He wants us to experience.

So keep walking and talking with God, our faith doesn’t have to be complicated it just has to be continuous. So rejoice in your salvation and take another step today towards the good things that God has prepared for you.  

        

This morning’s meditation verse is:

Psalm 119:11 (NKJV)
¹¹  Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You!

 

Today’s verse teaches us why we should read the Bible and meditate on its truth.  

Well as we may have welcomed some  people into the kingdom today, they may be wondering “Now What?” 

Well the good news is that you can rest.  You no longer have to fear what happens when you die. You have been given eternal life because of God’s grace. You didn’t have to earn it. You should be filled with joy and gratitude for having been shown the truth of the gospel and for receiving forgiveness and new spiritual life.   

The next step? We should learn about the God who gave us mercy and grace by reading His word. Start with the New Testament to learn all about Jesus and pay attention to His teaching to learn how we should behave as Christians.  Think about those truths as you go about your day and try to live according to them.  

That’s what today’s verse is teaching us and motivating us to do. For if we hide the truths of God’s word in our heart, we might not sin against God.”   I like the fact that the verse says might. I like to imagine that God understands that we won’t be perfect in our walk but still encourages us to express our love for Him by reading His word, meditating on it, and doing what it says. 

So if you don’t have a regular practice of reading and meditating on God’s word, start today and commit yourself to a regular practice of drawing close to God by studying His word.   

The Bible is true, and today’s verse encourages us that if we hide its truth in our hearts we just might not sin against God.  So put the word to the test by hiding it in your heart, and experience its power to transform your mind and change your behavior, not because you are trying hard but because you are learning to be the person that God has made you to be and because He has given you the power to become it,

The Blended Family

God's Recipe for Success

by

June Hunt

Introduction

Do you feel that the mix of your family is basically a mess? If you mix flour, sugar, eggs and oil together... it takes some work to get them to blend. But when the mixture is exposed to the heat of an oven for just the right amount of time, a chemical reaction occurs that bonds the separate ingredients into a delicious dessert. Likewise, when members of a blended family are subjected to the heat of new living conditions and differing personalities, it takes some work to come together as a connected family unit. Each individual needs to make every effort to promote peace and build one another up so that the family will be bonded in love and in unity.

"Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification." (Romans 14:19)

I. Definitions

Blended families, with their many challenges, have been around for a long time. They are formed for different reasons. When a spouse with children remarries after the death of a partner, the situation is difficult. But when the family unit becomes a blend of his children, her children and their children, the recipe for success requires a great deal of understanding and forgiveness.

"Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." (Colossians 3:13)

A. What Is a Blended Family?

• The blended family is a family unit in which one or both of the spouses have been previously married and bring a child or children to the relationship.
• The word blended means "mixed together." It suggests a combining of separate units into an integrated whole.
• The stepfamily is a family unit in which at least one spouse has a parental relationship with a child based on marriage, not blood.

B. What Is a Nuclear Family?

The nuclear family is a traditional family unit composed of...

• one husband and one wife
• one marriage
• one or more children from one union

C. God's Heart on Remarriage

• Remarriage is permitted when the marriage covenant is broken by...
• —death
  "By law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage. So then, if she marries another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress, even though she marries another man." (Romans 7:2-3)
• —defilement (adultery)
  "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery." (Matthew 19:9)
• —desertion and divorce (a controversial position)
  Only because of a hardened heart on the part of the one who leaves—God's heart is one of reconciliation.
  "But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace." (1 Corinthians 7:15)
• Remarriage is not permitted...
• —to an unbeliever
  "A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord." (1 Corinthians 7:39)
• —to a former spouse who has married another
  "If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man, and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies, then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the Lord." (Deuteronomy 24:1-4)
• —to a divorced person whose spouse has not broken the marriage covenant
  "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery." (Matthew 19:9)
• Remarriage is not God's preferred state for everyone.
  "I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that. Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion." (1 Corinthians 7:7-9)
