Hit a Home Run

/2 Comments/in /by

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:1)

I know I’m a running a little late to celebrate the World Series, but it’s never too late to use a Baseball analogy.  Especially knowing that baseball is one of America’s favorite pass times.  It’s the place we sing, “Take me out to the Ball Game…”  We ask for peanuts, we cheer with the crowd for our favorite team, we do the wave in the stands, we love the hot dogs, and we just enjoy the game!  Well, what if we lived our life for God like we go out and watch a Baseball game.  What if we went out to celebrate the game?  What if we even got involved in the game?  Maybe it’s time to go hit a home run for Jesus!

A Call to Completeness

Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. (Matthew 5:48)

This verse can be quite intimidating, if you do not know the meaning of the word “perfect”.  I mean how many people do you know that have achieved perfection on this earth.  Yikes, I have to say I haven’t found any and I myself have quite a few imperfections.  That’s why it is so important to look into what the word perfect means.  What is the context of this verse?  What is Jesus calling us to when He calls us to a life of perfection?  Well, let’s take a look into the Greek meaning of the word “perfect”.

Romans 8 Life

And we know in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)

I’ve been reading and studying Romans 8 a lot lately.  There is so much in this chapter about how to live out the Christian life.  It’s one thing to read it and study it.  It’s another thing to believe it and follow it.  Let’s study it together and believe what God’s Word says!  May the Truth in God’s Word penetrate our lives and lead us to victory in Jesus!

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” (Vs. 1)

…How long will you waver between two opinions?  If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him. (1 Kings 18:21)

How many of you know someone who is wavering between the One true God and a god of this world?  I happen to know quite a few and I love each opportunity I have to share the Truth of who the real God is.  There is only One who can save those who are dying daily.  There is only One who can stand the test of time and only One who does not demand our good deeds to make it to Heaven.  God Almighty is the only One who is living and active in our lives.  We pray to someone who lives today, who lived long before us, and whose presence we will still enjoy when we leave this earth.  There is no other religion that can claim a Living God, who sent a living sacrifice for our sins.

Rock and Redeemer

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. (Psalm 19:14)

This passage of Scripture is really challenging me a lot right now.  It is so easy to get wrapped up in the things of life that really don’t matter.  There are moments that continue to slip away almost daily because of the time I spend meditating on the wrong things.  My heart needs to continuously find it’s way back to God’s direction.  There is a constant renewal that takes place when I surrender myself to God’s plan!  In fact, King David was very wise about this matter.  He continued to bring his heart back to God for renewal.  Let’s see how we can do the same through this passage in the Psalms.
