How Would Jesus Vote?

First, let me say I have never before felt so much anguish over voting. I truly believe it is my Christian duty to be politically active and to exercise my Right to Vote. 
But if you are like me, you may not know how to vote this election cycle.
I’ve spent months in prayer over this. I delved into the Scriptures looking for answers that evade me.While I cannot tell you how to vote, I do want to share with you the things I feel are important to God.
1.       ABOVE ALL- Know God is the answer. Man cannot save you. A government cannot save you. Only God can save. Trust in Him. (Psalm 146:3-6, Jer 17:5)
2.       God controls the elections. Man cannot circumvent God’s will. Whoever wins this election is put into place by God Himself. He sets rulers above the nations. He is in control. (Dan 2:21, Rom 13:1)
3.       When deciding how to vote (or if you will vote- never before have I felt this was an option) LOOK AT THE FRUITS not just the words coming from someone’s mouth. (Luke 6:44-46, Psalm 12:2, Rom 16:18)
Now to see what the Bible says about Fruit:
Galatians 5:19-23 “The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” (Emphasis mine)

The first set of characteristics is NOT of God. The second set is.

These verses should make it easy to vote.

But what if you feel NO candidate represents the Characteristics of God?

What should you do?

Luke 14:25-27 provides some insight for this dilemma.

“ Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said:  “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple. And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.”

This passage refers to decision making between conflicting loyalties. (Hate in this passage is not an emotional hostility)

Are we more loyal to God or those we love?

Regarding elections, Are we more loyal to God or the government?

Who are we putting our trust in?

Do we think a particular candidate or political party can deliver us from the evils of this world?

After much prayer, I can’t help but think that in this election cycle Christians are being forced to back a belief system (AKA political party) that is contrary to the Word of God. We are being told that we must vote a certain way because if we don’t someone “worse” will become president (this is true regardless of what party you are affiliated with).

Choosing a “lesser of an evil” does not mean we are obeying God . And the “Enemy of my enemy is my friend” is not Biblical. Worldly logic is combating for our loyalty and tearing us apart.

Yet, God is in control.

The candidates up for election are there because it is part of God's plan.

So how to vote?


I honestly don’t know.

But I trust God’s will is being accomplished.

I pray you find some answers and peace in these words.

I pray your vote isn’t influenced by fear.

I pray we find unity in the days to come.
Starting Jan. 2017 I will post a series on building a Frame-work of Hope so that you can stand no matter what shakes your foundation or may tempt your loyalty to falter.

Finally, if you're unsure why I'm having such a difficult time this election season or perhaps you're interested in learning more about the fruits these candidates have produced, please check out this article. In my opinion this is the BEST article I have read regarding the conundrum Christian's face in voting for either candidate. It's long but well worth the read- it gets really good about half way through. Trump Betrayed by Erick Erickson.

Freedom to Choose

“  For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.” Gal 5:13 NLT
As I look at this verse I realize I have a choice in how I live in my FREEDOM.
I can choose to give into my sinful nature.
Or I can choose to love.
God gives me the FREEDOM to choose one or the other.
I know what my sinful nature wants.
It wants instant gratification.
My sinful nature is selfish, mean, and never satisfied. 
But because of the Holy Spirit given to me when I CHOSE the gift of Salvation through the cross (and there is no other way), I don’t have to let my sinful nature rule me. 
I can choose to live in FREEDOM and use it to serve others in love.
What would serving others in love look like?
Let’s look at 1 Cor 13:4-6 NLT, “ Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.”

In day- to -day life “living in love” could look like this:
1.      Not yelling at the person who cut you off in traffic.
2.      Letting someone move in front of you in line because they look like they’re in an even bigger hurry than you.
3.      Forgiving your spouse for the same offense AGAIN.
4.      Complimenting a friend on their new car instead of being jealous.
5.      Congratulating a co-worker on the promotion instead of bad mouthing them because you were more qualified. 
6.      Explaining to your kids what they did wrong instead of yelling at them.
7.      Not demanding your way.
8.      Not belittling a server for getting your order wrong.
9.      Not assuming you’re right and every one else is wrong.
10.  Admitting you don’t know everything and that you need help.
The list could go on.
There are so many ways we can live love in action .
I feel free when I show love. 
I have never regretted being kind or loving others, but I have felt the burden of walking in sin. (Click to tweet)
Because of God’s grace that forgives ALL my sins I am free to do whatever I want. 
Again, if my focus is on me, I want my natural man to feel good. I want justice, I want what I feel I deserve, I want pleasure without consequences.
But when I focus on God, at what it cost Him to forgive me (death of His innocent Son), my sinful desires diminish and I’m FREE to love others as I am loved by God (see 1 Cor 13:4-6).
It truly is liberating to not have to obey my carnal desires, but to walk in love. Knowing I don’t have to be “be nice”, but I can choose to.

Building a Framework of Hope: Part 1

You’re saved.
You have your foundation.
But how do you build upon it?
Is going to church enough?
How often do you really “need” to read your Bible?
What does “pray without ceasing” actually mean?
These are questions some ask themselves without finding the answers. They are also questions many of Christian's SHOULD ask, but don’t.

Generally speaking, here are a few categories of Christian's fall into:
Some are satisfied with “being saved”. You know, getting out of hell, and spend little time evaluating the need to draw closer to God or maturing in their faith.
Others are content with going to church and may even open their Bibles on occasion. Additionally, they take time to pray when it’s “needed” but they don’t go deeper. This group might be classified as “Lukewarm”.
Then there are those who are driven to “do more”. They’re focused on the Quantity of time spent with God. They read their Bible, attend almost all church services, take prayer seriously, volunteer on a regular basis and are considered “devote Christians”.  But they never feel as if it’s “enough”.  These are the ones who struggle with “grace verses works”.  
Next there are those who seem to really get it. Their faith is real. They rest in the saving power of God’s grace and don’t appear to question their faith or purpose. We think they are above us. Their faith can seem unattainable to the average person.
Finally, many float in and out of these categories (and yes, I know I’m being overly broad. Forgive me for being brief.)
So back to the original question:
How do you build upon your faith? And what are you supposed to build?
I want to help you build a Framework of Hope upon your foundation. That way when trials come, you can stand. Because hard times WILL come. It’s not a matter of “if”, but “When”. 
“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ… but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame…” Romans 5:1-5 (emphasis mine)
Notice you don’t get HOPE until after you go through the process of pain.
Suffering makes us stronger, just like exercise. 
When I first started Taekwondo I could only do 5 “real” pushups, 8 months later I’m able to do 50 “real” pushups without stopping.
Getting to this point took pain. 
My muscles ached. They protested as I pushed beyond my limit. 
But I kept going. I persevered. And I will keep persevering until I reach my goal of 100.
This process is developing my character as I realize I’m stronger than I thought. 
And with each new goal I meet, my hope increases... as does my confidence.
I know I can do it. I won’t be put to shame because I am going through the process. 
I can’t jump ahead in my physical capabilities. And I can’t jump ahead in my spiritual ones either.
To get HOPE, I must do the work.
So how is this accomplished as it relates to building upon our Foundation in Christ?
First, you must evaluate where you are right now in your walk with God.
Not where you were five years ago. 
Not even where you were yesterday.
Where are you right now?
To go forward, you must be honest with yourself.
When I started working out I had to be honest. I was “skinny”, but out of shape. 
It was hard seeing people who LOOKED less in shape be able to do more. 
But I had to start with where I was. Not where I wanted to be or even where I looked like I belonged.
You must do the same with where you are in your walk with Christ.
If you’re having trouble, ask God to help you be honest with yourself. 
Until next time, I challenge you to get honest with yourself. Evaluate your heart. Check your motives. Figure out what drives you and what has meaning in your life. Find out what you’re building your life around. Ask yourself what would completely devastate you if it was taken away.
“"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” Matt 7:7 NIV
“Search me, God, and know my heart;
    test me and know my anxious thoughts.
 See if there is any offensive way in me,
    and lead me in the way everlasting.” Psalm 139:23-24 NIV

Crisis is Relative

“Please keep my Grandma in your prayers.”
I glanced at him as we walked toward the Liberal Arts building where we would go our separate ways. “Of course.  Pray for my cat too. I don’t want to put him down, but I think I have to.”
His brow wrinkled.   “My Grandma is dying and you want me to pray for your cat?”
Before I could reply, he stomped off to his last class of the day.   
I swallowed the lump in my throat.  Yes, I want you to pray for my cat.   I love him.
Later that evening he called.  “I’m sorry for earlier.   I shouldn’t have said that.   Your cat is important to you, just like my Grandma is important to me.    I will be praying."
“Thanks, but you don’t need to apologize.   My problem isn’t as big as yours.”  
“Crisis is relative.   We both are hurting and need prayers. I was wrong to disregard your pain and your request.  Of course I will pray for your cat.”
“You’ve taken too many psych classes. You sound like your professors.” I joked.
He laughed, “My professors have never offered to pray for me…but you’re my sister-in-Christ, so I’ll pray for your cat…are we good?” 
“Yeah, we’re good.”
*****************************************
YEARS later that conversation plays through my head as I listen to my friend rant about the injustice she’s facing.
I want to yell at her, “my grandma is dying and you want me to pray for your cat!”
But I don’t. 
Crisis is relative.
My world may feel like it’s crashing in and I don't have time for anyone else, but my sister-in-Christ needs prayers. She needs support. 
She does NOT need me to tell her to suck it up. 
She does not need me to tell her I am facing real problems and hers are minuscule. 
As Christians we are called to bear each others burdens (Gal 6:2).
I may not think she is facing a crisis, but she genuinely does. Therefore, I will take time to listen to her.  I will pray for her.  I will point her to Scripture that will encourage her.  I will love her as I am loved by God--completely and generously.   
I hope the next time you want to scream at someone, “my grandma is dying and you want me to pray for your cat” you can remember “ crisis is relative ”.
Be there for someone and try to hold back the judgments.  Who knows, next time it could be you needing support for a “relative crisis”.    

Entertainment & Social Media Fast: What’s It Like?

Join me today on BarbRaveling’s site as we discus fasting from social media and technology. 
Here’s a preview:
Why did you decide to take a fast from technology?
Six years ago my Sunday School group read the book, “Awakening: A New Approach to Faith, Fasting, and Spiritual Freedom” by StovallWeems and decided to pray and fast for 21 days. I was pregnant and couldn’t do the fast as everyone else did, but I wanted to participate. So I decided to fast from ALL forms of entertainment and social media. This meant NO radio, TV, computer, internet, phone, tablet or even books unless it was the Bible or book by Weems.

Hope to see you there!

I love you…I just don’t want to spend time with you

The phone rang again.  Would he answer this time or let it roll over to voice mail?
“Hello.”
“Hey, honey. It’s me.”
“Hey, how’s it going?” He sounds distracted. As usual.
I swallow the lump in my throat.  If I thought he really wanted to know, I’d tell him. But after ten years together I know he doesn’t expect a genuine reply. 
“Good. I’m just calling to see if you’ll be home for dinner.  I’ll make your favorite—”
“Not tonight. A client flew in and I’m taking him out.”
Of course you are.   I exhale softly.  “Okay, well how about we go out to eat tomorrow night? You pick the place.”
“Sorry, but I can’t. This merger is really putting me behind.”
“What about us?” I squeeze my eyes closed. I will not cry.
“What about us? Wasn’t it only a few weeks ago I took you to see that play?”
Through the phone I hear papers crinkle as he continues to work.  “That was fourmonths ago…for my birthday.” How could he forget?
“Sheesh. Calm down. I know it was just last week we met for lunch.”
I count to three before replying, “That was two weeks ago and you were late, only had one cup of coffee, then you split. “
A loud sigh whooshes in my ear. “I’m sorry. I just have too much on my plate right now…deadlines to meet, people to please…”
The silence becomes deafening as he waits for me to let him off the hook.  It’s what I always do, but not this time.  His absence from our marriage has gone on for too long.
“I have a few hours open Thursday evening. Make reservations at your favorite restaurant, text me the info and I’ll meet you.”
A smile tugs at my lips but my heart is cautious. “Are you sure you won’t forget?”
“That’s why I said text me the info. I’ll put it on my calendar.”
I bite back my snarky reply, Was our anniversary being today NOT on your calendar?
“Do you need anything else?  I’m late for a meeting.”
“Nope. Love you, can’t wait for our date.”
“Love you too. Bye.”
I click the END button on my phone and wipe the tears off my cheeks.
You love me, you just don’t want to spend time with me.
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
The above story is fiction.
But the lessons we can glean from it are not.
Relationships take work.
They require time and effort from all parties involved. 
If one person isn’t invested, the whole relationship is strained.
If left unchecked it can be fatal…just like cancer if not treated.
I know if I act like my marriage is an inconvenience or something to be checked off my “to-do”  list that it wouldn’t be long before my husband questions my love,  devotion and my motives for being in the relationship.  
A relationship with God is similar. 
Salvation isn’t a “Get out of jail free card” nor is it like a membership to a country club (what’s in it for me, how does church/God benefit me).
Salvation is an invitation to join into a relationship with God. (click to tweet)
Going to church a few times a year isn’t going to cut it. Likewise, going to church every week, tithing and volunteer work do not equate a healthy relationship (though it may appear to).
God knows when your heart is in it or if you are just pretending to love Him. 
God knows your motives better than you do. He knows if you’re more into appearances than actual devotion to Him.
He knows all this and yet He loves you anyway. 
God wants a relationship with you.  He wants to be included in your day, considered in your decision making and part of your  life. (Click to tweet)
He’s waiting for you to want Him, like He wants you.  He wants to share Himself with you, but He’s waiting for you to choose Him. 
Your schedule may be cram packed, but you can still squeeze in a few moments with Him.
We make time for what’s important to us.  We make time for those we love and value .
QUESTIONS: How’s your relationship with God?   If it were a real marriage would you be going strong or would you be in counseling? Would you be more in love with each passing year or headed for divorce court?

Borrowed Time

A while back a friend of mine, Laura Hodges Poole, began her post by saying, “I did something this morning I can’t take credit for. I woke up.” (To read the full post click here.)
How often do we assumewe will have another day?
The fact is, we are not promised our next heartbeat…and yet we live as if we will never die.
We put off telling someone how we feel.
We hold onto grudges.
We refuse to say ‘sorry’ until the other party goes first.
We leave tasks undone, words unsaid, and debts unpaid.
One day bleeds into another and we forget how fragile life is.
We ignore the reality that at any moment we could breathe our last.
There’s a Christian song by Jason Gray called, Good to be Alive.
Here’s the chorus:                I want to live like there’s no tomorrow     Love like I’m on borrowed time    It’s good to be alive.
How would your life look if you truly believed these words?
How would you LOVE others if you thought you were living on borrowed time?
What would change in your day?
Who would you contact? What would you tell them?
What task would you make sure was completed?
Would you forgive someone over something that happened eons ago? Setting you both free from the pain you’ve been holding onto?
Would you pray for the person who cuts you off in traffic instead of flipping them off?
Would you pay for someone’s meal at a restaurant simply because you can and it would make them feel good?
Would give away something you’ve been holding onto (like an old car you don’t use) because you realize you can’t take it with you to the grave?
Would you get over your fears and tell people about Salvation through Christ because you know you won’t ever have another chance and you don’t want to risk their eternity?
What would you do differently if today was truly our last day on earth?

Bad Day at Work...we all have them no matter what our jobs are or how much we love them.

Before having kids I never thought of parenting as a “job”. 
I was wrong.
Being a parent is a 24/7, never ending, no holiday’s or PTO type job.
And I LOVE it…95% of the time.
The other 5% I want to pull my hair out. I feel overwhelmed, under-qualified, and completely at a loss as to what I should do.
But unlike a real “job”, I can’t quite.
I’m a mom for life!
And I LOVE that.
But as with all jobs, there are “Bad Days”.
Recently I experienced one of those 5% days when I’m stressed to the limit and not enjoying my job. 
I tried praying, but I couldn’t focus.
I felt drained, irritable, and in need of rejuvenation.
At the end of the day I was able to pray and read my Bible.
During that time God reminded me that thoughout my day I had a choice on how I would respond to my problems.
He reminded me that my focus determines my reality and I wasn’t focused on God or loving my boys. I was focused on ME. And my reality sucked because of it. 
God reminded me that SELFISHNESS is what kept me in my bad mood and ruined my day .
I began thinking about the job’s I had before becoming a stay at home mom.
I’d had bad days in those jobs too.
Day’s where I felt undervalued and overworked.
Day’s when I didn’t want to go in.
Day’s when I thought what I was doing was meaningless.
All those day’s had something in common with my current bad day: SELFISHNESS .
How I felt.What Iwanted.Where I would rather be.Who I felt was wrong (hint: it was rarely me)Why I felt something wasn’t fair.When I wanted a break.
ME. ME. ME.
Me. I am the cause of my bad days staying bad. 
My choices.My attitude.What I’m focused on. 
Yes, sometimes bad things happen that really suck and are out of my control.
But I don’t have to let circumstances dictate how my day goes.
Situations should not define my mood. 
Romans 13:9-14 NLT says, “…Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to others… Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires.” (emphasis mine)
When I’m busy loving others I don’t have time to focus on my environment or how I feel. 
When my focus is LOVE, my reality changes. My attitude changes. My thoughts change and I don’t have time to be self-centered. (click to tweet)
I have a CHOICE to love others through my words and my actions. 
I have a CHOICE on what I am going to focus on and how my day goes beyond a situation.
Yes, bad days happen…even if we LOVE our jobs.
But we don’t have to be stuck in our bad day.
When we are clothed with Christ (who is love) we don’t have time to think about indulging in our evil desires. 
But it’s a choice. 
A choice to be clothed in Christ.
And a choice to NOT think about self and to love others.
Remember: Love is patient, kind, never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful and endures through every circumstance.
Love is NOT jealous, boastful, proud, rude, irritable, demanding, or self-centered. Nor does it keep track of when it is wronged. (1 Cor 13)
I don’t know about you, but I need to work on my love.
I need to work on my choices.
When my day doesn’t go as I’d like, I need to remember to focus on God and not self.
Bad days will come, but they don’t have to stay.
It’s a choice.

He Knows My Name!!!

Think about a famous person you really admire.
Someone you wish you knew.
Someone so totally awesome that you can’t imagine actually meeting them.
They seem so far above you.
So out of reach.
Untouchable.
And yet, you hold pronounced respect for them. 
You think they are GREAT!
Now imagine this famous person knows your name.
How exciting is that!?!
They know you!
Your heart is beating fast.
Sweat pops out on your forehead. 
Your palms are clammy and you’re so happy you might actually pee your pants (okay, maybe not pee your pants, but you get the picture).
This totally amazing person knows your name!
Out of the thousands of fans out there, this person knows YOU.
How cool is that?
Are you hyperventilating yet?
Now imagine this person says they want to be your best friend(BFF).
Did you just pass out?
Do you need a moment to collect yourself?
Awesome dream, right?
Life changing if that dream were to come true.
The person you “idolize” most wants to be your BFF!
Completely out of this world, unreal, and would be so amazing if it were true.
Okay, calm down. 
Time to focus.
I don’t know who your “famous” person is that sends your heart in overdrive, but I know someone famous who SHOULD send you reeling, because He does know your name.
If fact, He knows all about you and He adores you. He would say He’s a fan of yours.
Have you figured out who He is yet?
GOD.
He’s the most famous person ever…and He knows your name.
He wants a relationship with you.
To be your BFF.
The questions He has for you are:
Will you be His BFF?
Will you admire, respect, and idolize Him MORE than other famous people?
Will you stop what you’re doing just to interact with Him?
Will you listen to Him and memorize His Words?
Will you choose Him over every other thing that vies for your attention? 
Will you get as excited to spend time with Him as you would someone else who is less famous?
Does your heart sore at the thought of Him knowing your name?
Does He need to pick up you because your legs are too wobbly to stand in His presents?

Does He hold a candle to the dream you first envisioned when you began reading this post?
Does He take center stage in your life?
He wants to.
He wants to mean something to you…something more than just a passing acquaintance.
He wants to change your life and rock your world.
He’s worthy of your adoration and devotion. 
And you already have His.
Will you give Him yours?
Is He your dream come true?
This post was inspired by the song “He Knows My Name” by Francesca Battistelli.
