Rise and Walk
Rise and Walk
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bible Verses ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mark 2:10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has
authority to forgive sins on Earth--he said to the paralytic,
11 To you I say, Rise, take up your mat and go to your house.
12 And he rose and immediately took up the mat and went out
before them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified
God, saying, We have never seen anything like this!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Words of Ministry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These verses indicate that in order to show that He had
authority to forgive sins, the Lord said to the paralytic,
"Rise, pick up your bed and go to your house." This was the
healing of the paralytic. The Lord's salvation not only
forgives our sins, but also makes us "rise and walk." It is
not rise and walk first, and then be forgiven of our sins;
that would be by works. Instead, it is to be forgiven of our
sins first, and then to rise and walk; this is by grace.
Here [v. 12] we have the fulfillment of the Slave-Savior's
word, "Rise, pick up your bed." To say, "Your sins are
forgiven," was easier than to say, "Rise, pick up your bed and
walk." Since the latter was fulfilled, the former, the easier
one, was surely also fulfilled. This is strong evidence that
the Slave-Savior has authority to forgive sins on earth.
The paralytic rose, picked up his bed, and went out before
all. The Lord enabled the paralytic not only to walk, but also
to pick up his bed and walk. Formerly the bed bore him; now he
bears it. This is the power of the Lord's salvation. Moreover,
this paralytic was brought to the Lord by others, but he went
home by himself. This indicates that it is not that the sinner
can come to the Lord, but that the sinner can go forth from
the Lord by the Lord's salvation.

Mustard Seed Thoughts: Storm Thoughts 2
ChristWeb.com : Mustard Seed Thoughts
Storm Thoughts 2
Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. Mark 4:36 NIV
Well at least the disciples went, that�s better than I have done at times. If you are following this series then you know that there have been times in my life where I followed Jesus closely and other times where I did not and, therefore, missed out on what God was trying to do in my life. I am trying hard today to always follow as He leads.
I love the phrase in this verse, however, that says they took Jesus �just as he was�. While I am certain some theologian can impart wisdom to me about exactly what this means, it speaks volumes to me with what I do know of Scripture and my life experience.
Too many times we try to take Jesus, as we want Jesus to be, not as He intends for us to be. We like Jesus to do things on our terms, not His terms. We try to put our stamp on Jesus rather than allow His stamp on us. We try to fit Jesus in our box rather than conform our lives to Christ.
It does not take a very bright person to figure out they would be better off with Jesus� way than their own. I have often said that if you get better at something than Jesus is I�ll follow you. Even an unbeliever should know that Jesus� way is best.
That leads me to ask an important question: Are you following your way or Christ�s way? If God should choose to alter your life agenda would that meet your approval? Can you emphatically say yes to those questions in every area of your life? (I must confess I am not completely there yet�.but I am a work in progress.)

=========================== TODAY'S ARTICLE ==========================
What the Dying Reveal to Us about the Trinity, by Scott Owings
Stillness is what creates Love
Movement is what creates Life
To be still
Yet still moving --
that is everything. (Do Hyun Choe)
It's a great mystery and grace that no matter where we are in our
journey, no matter what we've done (good or bad), God calls us to
movement. And yet, sometimes we feel stuck: unable to move, afraid to
move, too weary to make a move towards God or with God into the world.
A year or so ago, after a long season of "stuckness," I sensed a nudge
or prod to move on from church ministry to be a chaplain with hospice.
It hasn't been an easy move and yet God has been teaching me a great
deal from the dying: not only about myself but about others and God.
The dying have much to show us, and one of those lessons has been
surprisingly about the Trinity. I don't know about you, but Trinity for
me used to mean "two dudes and a bird." (This phrase is in no way meant
to convey irreverence or disrespect for the Trinity, but to indicate
how shallow our human understanding of something so divine truly is.)
How helpful is that?
As I got a little older, I heard that the Trinity is one substance with
three forms -- for example in the physical world: ice, water, and
steam. When I went to grad school, I learned a few lofty, conceptual
theories about the Trinity. None of that has been all that practical or
life-changing. Trinity is not static or conceptual. Trinity is not an
"it." To reduce the Trinity to a propositional statement leads to a
lifeless body.
It has been from the dying, and several patients in particular, that
I've begun to glimpse a new angle on what I like to call "trinitarian
movement." And this Trinitarian movement is personal and missional.
After all, Scripture teaches the Father sent the Son; the Son sent the
Spirit; the Spirit sends the church into the world ... and eventually
sends us back to the Father. In a nutshell, this whole notion of "being
sent" is the guiding principle of the gospel of John (used some 30x)
and I believe an important, and often overlooked, dynamic of the
Trinity.
This is where the dying can help us. Of course, the dying don't move
like you or me. They aren't full of activity. They aren't busy,
consumed by self-importance or worried about work or school. Rather,
because of sickness and disease, the dying show (rather than tell) how
one can be still, yet still moving. The dying are about to make the
biggest move of their life: moving from this body through the "Door to
the Great Unknown." And behind that Door is a vastness, a Love, which
is beyond what we can ask or imagine.
"We don't have to take the lead but we do have to move!"
As one is still, preparing to move through the great Door, from God and
to God, I've found the dying have much to show about life -- how to
live and move more fully, more contemplatively, in the here and now.
* Take Fran, an Alzheimer's patient who isn't given to many words.
While in the hospital and on the verge of dying, I went into her
room, aware that she was barely with us. I stayed a few minutes,
and even though she couldn't say a word (and seemed to be asleep),
I decided to pray before leaving. At the Amen, she did something
I'd never seen her do over the past 8 months. She made the movement
of the Cross -- a blessing of the Holy Trinity. A deep symbol,
beyond words, that Father, Son, and Spirit are always present.
* And then there was Bill, a poor man from the country. A person for
whom I developed a deep fondness. On the day before his death, the
family and Bill were anxious, heavy with dread, and seemingly
unable to move. Before leaving, I asked the family to get up and
gather around for prayer. I don't understand why, but there was
something about that movement that unlocked their emotions. They
told stories and laughed and prayed and blessed. The laughter was
best of all, providing healing for the patient and family (and for
me).
* One of my favorite mystic writers, Meister Eckhart said it this way
about the Trinitarian movement of laughter: "When the Father laughs
at the Son and the Son laughs back at the Father, that laughter
gives pleasure, that pleasure gives joy, that joy gives love, and
that love is the Holy Spirit."
* Finally, I'd like to mention Gayle, a middle-aged woman suffering
from painful, pancreatic cancer who showed me a move I will never
forget. In her final moments, the family asked that I pray. As I
did so, she surprisingly leaned towards me, like a flower that
wilts at the end of the day. A single tear from her eye dropped,
and she breathed her last. It was the most sacred, still movement
I've ever experienced. In her dying move, I experienced a most
powerful sermon, one that reminded me of Jesus' words: "[C]onsider
the lilies ... for not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed
like one of these."
When we are brought to a place of stillness (and often it takes
failure, or disease, but prayer and silence can do it as well), we are
able to see and hear the movement, or dance, of the Trinity. As Thomas
Merton wrote, "God invites us to a dance ... we don't have to take the
lead but we do have to move, step by step."
My prayer and hope is that we will accept the Trinity's invitation to
move with stillness. To help with that, I encourage hanging out with
someone who is elderly or on the verge of dying. Visit a nursing-home,
take a grandparent to lunch, volunteer with hospice. If that's not
possible or your cup of tea (or even if it is), maybe you could
practice the three unconventional disciplines or movements I've
mentioned: making the sign of the cross as a blessing to the Trinity,
telling stories and laughing with those you love, and silently
observing and contemplating the movement and beauty of a flower or a
child of God in the waning moments of life.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
The love of God,
And the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you (2 Corinthians
13:13).

Morning & Evening -- Psalms 126:3 and John 5:39
-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / Charles Spurgeon's MORNING & EVENING http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday, June 9, 2009
MORNING:
"The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad."
-- Psalms 126:3
Some Christians are sadly prone to look on the dark side of everything,
and to dwell more upon what they have gone through than upon what God
has done for them. Ask for their impression of the Christian life, and
they will describe their continual conflicts, their deep afflictions,
their sad adversities, and the sinfulness of their hearts, yet with
scarcely any allusion to the mercy and help which God has vouchsafed
them. But a Christian whose soul is in a healthy state, will come
forward joyously, and say, "I will speak, not about myself, but to the
honour of my God. He hath brought me up out of an horrible pit, and out
of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my
goings: and he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our
God. The Lord hath done great things for me, whereof I am glad." Such
an abstract of experience as this is the very best that any child of
God can present. It is true that we endure trials, but it is just as
true that we are delivered out of them. It is true that we have our
corruptions, and mournfully do we know this, but it is quite as true
that we have an all-sufficient Saviour, who overcomes these
corruptions, and delivers us from their dominion. In looking back, it
would be wrong to deny that we have been in the Slough of Despond, and
have crept along the Valley of Humiliation, but it would be equally
wicked to forget that we have been through them safely and profitably;
we have not remained in them, thanks to our Almighty Helper and Leader,
who has brought us "out into a wealthy place." The deeper our troubles,
the louder our thanks to God, who has led us through all, and preserved
us until now. Our griefs cannot mar the melody of our praise, we reckon
them to be the bass part of our life's song, "He hath done great things
for us, whereof we are glad."
EVENING:
"Search the Scriptures."
-- John 5:39
The Greek word here rendered search signifies a strict, close,
diligent, curious search, such as men make when they are seeking gold,
or hunters when they are in earnest after game. We must not rest
content with having given a superficial reading to a chapter or two,
but with the candle of the Spirit we must deliberately seek out the
hidden meaning of the word. Holy Scripture requires searching-much of
it can only be learned by careful study. There is milk for babes, but
also meat for strong men. The rabbis wisely say that a mountain of
matter hangs upon every word, yea, upon every title of Scripture.
Tertullian exclaims, "I adore the fulness of the Scriptures." No man
who merely skims the book of God can profit thereby; we must dig and
mine until we obtain the hid treasure. The door of the word only opens
to the key of diligence. The Scriptures claim searching. They are the
writings of God, bearing the divine stamp and imprimatur- who shall
dare to treat them with levity? He who despises them despises the God
who wrote them. God forbid that any of us should leave our Bibles to
become swift witnesses against us in the great day of account. The word
of God will repay searching. God does not bid us sift a mountain of
chaff with here and there a grain of wheat in it, but the Bible is
winnowed corn-we have but to open the granary door and find it.
Scripture grows upon the student. It is full of surprises. Under the
teaching of the Holy Spirit, to the searching eye it glows with
splendour of revelation, like a vast temple paved with wrought gold,
and roofed with rubies, emeralds, and all manner of gems. No
merchandise like the merchandise of Scripture truth. Lastly, the
Scriptures reveal Jesus: "They are they which testify of me." No more
powerful motive can be urged upon Bible readers than this: he who finds
Jesus finds life, heaven, all things. Happy he who, searching his
Bible, discovers his Saviour.

My Utmost For His Highest : "The Next Best Thing To Do"
-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST -- http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------
June 9, 2009
THE NEXT BEST THING TO DO
For every one that asketh receiveth.
Luke 11:10
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=lu+11:10&sr=1
There is nothing more difficult than to ask. We will long and desire
and crave and suffer, but not until we are at the extreme limit will
we ask. A sense of unreality makes us ask. Have you ever asked out of
the depths of moral poverty? "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask
of God...but be sure that you do lack wisdom. You cannot bring
yourself up against Reality when you like. The next best thing to do
if you are not spiritually real, is to ask God for the Holy Spirit on
the word of Jesus Christ (see Luke 11:13). The Holy Spirit is the One
Who makes real in you all that Jesus did for you.
"For every one that asketh receiveth." This does not mean you will
not get if you do not ask (cf. Matt. 5:45), but until you get to the
point of asking you won't receive from God. To receive means you have
come into the relationship of a child of God, and now you perceive
with intelligent and moral appreciation and spiritual understanding
that these things come from God.
"If any of you lack wisdom . . ." If you realize you are lacking, it
is because you have come in contact with spiritual reality; do not
put your reasonable blinkers on again. People say - Preach us the
simple gospel: don't tell us we have to be holy, because that
produces a sense of abject poverty, and it is not nice to feel
abjectly poor. "Ask" means beg. Some people are poor enough to be
interested in their poverty, and some of us are like that
spiritually. We will never receive if we ask with an end in view; if
we ask, not out of our poverty but out of our lust. A pauper does not
ask from any other reason than the abject panging condition of his
poverty, he is not ashamed to beg. - Blessed are the paupers in
spirit.

EARNEST CAREGIVING
2 Corinthians 8:16-23
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=2+Corinthians+8:16-23
Dear Father, to whom all honor is due,
Thank you for the earnest care you put into the heart of people
like Titus. Thank you for people who respond to specific appeals to
serve. They give glory to you and show the good will of your
people. May your grace reach to me and make me such a person also.
Thank you that such people act in ways that are above and beyond
blame. They love not only what is good in your sight but also what
is honorable in the sight of men.
Thank you for making these people modern partners with your
ancient apostles, partners and fellow-workers in your service, the
messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.
In the name of Jesus I thank you for the transforming power you
show forth in the lives of your saints. Amen.

WJD! -- Like a Child -- Matthew 12:22-23
-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / WHAT JESUS DID! -- http://www.heartlight.org/

Tuesday, June 9, 2009
Like a Child
Then some people brought a man to Jesus. This man was blind
and could not talk, because he had a demon inside him. Jesus
healed the man, and the man could talk and see. All the
people were amazed. The people said, "Maybe this man (Jesus)
is the Son of David {that God promised to send to us}!"
-- Matthew 12:22-23 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Isn't it amazing how the common everyday folks were so much better at
recognizing Jesus than all the religious leaders? What's going on here?
Of course we know: it's old human pride and selfishness rearing their
ugly heads. Those too smart, too good, and too religious to appreciate
Jesus totally missed his coming. But those who were simple, who yearned
for God, could find Jesus in almost any situation. That's what faith is
all about -- giving up our pretensions and coming to meet Jesus
honestly to see that his work is still true today!
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Holy God, please remove my blinders and arrogance and help me see Jesus
as he truly is, my Savior and your Son! In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Today's Verse : 1 John 1:9
-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / TODAY'S VERSE from HEARTLIGHT -- http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------
June 9, 2009
VERSE:
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive
us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
-- 1 John 1:9
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=1+John+1:9
THOUGHT:
Confessing our sins means that we view our sin the same way that
God does -- the same revulsion and disdain for them. This kind of
confession opens our hearts to the flood of heaven's grace (see
Psalm 51). God shares with us the sweet liberation from sin that
Jesus purchased at Calvary; and our sins are not only forgiven, but
we are purified. We are no longer sinners and the stain of that sin
is removed as well. We are clean, perfect, and without spot because
of God's purifying grace (Col. 1:21-22). Now let's live in a way
that is reflective of this incredible gift!
PRAYER:
Father, I do confess to you my sins! Please forgive me for ....
(Please verbalize to God your own sins specifically in your
prayer.) Thank you for letting me be honest with you and share with
you my frustration and my sorrow for them. Please liberate me from
their power in my life and give me the confidence that you have not
only forgiven them, but that you have made me pure and holy. In
Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

THE END OF REASON: A RESPONSE TO THE NEW ATHEISTS, by Ravi Zacharias
Zacharias cuts to the core of the atheist problem and presents a case
for truth resolving itself in a presentation of God in the person of
Jesus Christ as the intelligence behind the universe, and the end (the
culmination, not the cessation) of reason.
