There are many actions that people do that reveal the nature of God, and these actions give us light. For example, we might witness one person who is honest enough to return excess change that a cashier gave them. When a good person witnesses this, it affects them, and they take a small step closer to the Lord. When we see a greater revelation of God, it affects us more. For example, many years ago when a small baby fell into a well, the whole community came together to save her. Hour after hour, that community struggled with all kinds of technical challenges because the baby was stuck in a pipe very deep underground. But they finally rescued her. Seeing this greatly affected me. The point I'm trying to make is this, the greater the revelation of God that we witness, the more we are changed by it. And what was the Greatest Revelation of God? THE CROSS. There is nothing anyone can do, say or preach that will reveal more about God than the CROSS. Nothing will affect you more, nothing will change you more.

That is why I recommend to everyone to see the PASSION OF THE CHRIST, and see it many times.

If you haven't seen the movie, see it, and more than once. Don't make excuses about not being able to handle it. If you can't handle the movie, you won't be able to handle the cross.

It's all about the Cross!

5-19-04

As Christians, we are called to live by the cross. But what does that mean? Jesus said those who do not pick up their cross daily and follow Him are not worthy of Him. How do we do that? My understanding of the cross has change recently. I used to think that it meant, celebrating the Lord's victory over death. And that is important, but picking up your cross is not a celebration. I used to think that picking up your cross had to do with appreciating the Lord's gift of eternal life. And that is important, but picking up your cross is not the act of being thankful. I used to think that it meant, knowing we have forgiveness from sin through his blood. And that is important, but picking up your cross is not a concept that we grasp or principle that we agree with. I used to think that picking up your cross meant following Christian teachings. And that is very important, but picking up your cross is not the adherence to principles or a following of godly rules.

You can celebrate the Lord's victory over death, be thankful for your salvation, know about the grace and forgiveness you have, and follow Christian principles and STILL NOT HAVE PICKED UP YOUR CROSS.

So what did He mean 'pick up your cross?' How do we do that? What is the purpose? Why should we need to pick up our cross if He has already won the victory?

I gained a new understanding of the Power of the Cross form the movie The PASSION. You must understand that one of the biggest obstacles to your obedience to the Lord is your flesh. The flesh always wars against the Spirit, and the spirit against the flesh. Those obeying the flesh are more susceptible to the devil's influences, than those who walk in the spirit. Trying to be a Christian while you're in the flesh is like trying to run a marathon with a 50 lbs. backpack. It's much harder, slower, tiresome, defeating and grueling.

I noticed a strange phenomenon after watching the movie...
A. First, my fleshly influences were gone, just drained out after crying the whole movie.
B. Second, walking in the spirit was much easier. Spiritually I was alive, and I could hear the Lord much easier than before.
C. Thirdly, seeing the Lord suffer gave me a deep love for Him.
D. And seeing Him suffer also gave me a fierce repulsion to sin, a hatred for it.

This left me in a state where I was spiritually strong as ever. I realized that there is power in the Cross, it can change a person.
Picking up your cross is surrendering to the Lord's will. It is the most profound way of saying, "not my will, but yours be done." Putting all the desires of the flesh under the Lord's will. It's not surrendering to a doctrine or a belief, but to the Lord Himself.

Miserable Worship

11-24-03

As Christian's we often miss a critical part of worship. We enjoy singing songs, praising the Lord, lifting our hands up to heaven, humbling ourselves and worshiping God, etc, but we often miss the Miserable Worship. What is the miserable worship?

In Numbers 21:8, the Lord had Moses make a pole with a snake on it, and anyone who looked at it would live.
This was an early example of the cross of Christ. I once heard a pastor criticize the Catholic Crucifix because "they left Jesus hanging on the Cross", while He has risen. But the Lord showed me that it is necessary to do this. Christian's today look upon the cross, and they see the victory of Christ, they see the penalty of sin, they see the Judgment of God, but we don't weep. Weep for the savior, cry for what He has done for us, and picture Him going through that agony because of our sin. Watch 'the Passion of the Christ' movie. It's hard but don't neglect this. It is this Miserable Worship that burns the love for our savior on our hearts.
