Not Pleased with Burnt Offering

Psalms 51:15-17 says, “Oh Lord, open my lips, That my mouth may declare Your praise. 16 For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.”

This is probably my favorite in the entire Bible. I would tell you that I plan to get this tattooed on my ankle when I graduate college, but I don’t want to offend anyone. However, if you are already offended, then please devote yourself to pray for me before I am 21.

Anyways, tattoos are not the subject. The subject is worship. I guess the reason I love this verse is because I sometimes try to give God my best. When I help my little brothers with school, I give it to God and say, “Look what I did!” Or when I lead worship I do the same thing, but it’s hard to give my sin to Christ and say, “God, I need Your help.”

Isn’t that a hard thing to swallow? You-I need someone else to help us. It’s kind of humbling. That is what God wants though. He wants us to realize that we are weak and that we are in desperate need of Him. As we saw yesterday in 2 Corinthians 12, God’s Mercy and Grace is made perfect in weakness. I guess the fact that I don’t have to be perfect is shocking to me, because I know that God asks us to be Perfect.

If you have read most of the previous posts, you may see that in my writing, I am trying to come up with an idea of someone who is striving hard after Christ. If you don’t see it, know that I was in a hot pursuit of perfection. What is wrong with trying to seek perfection? Perfection isn’t God.

Make sure you read that right. Perfection isn’t God, but God is perfect. The point being that you can try to be perfect, work really hard to be kind, tape your mouth so you don’t say anything, but what are you doing? You are trying to become perfect by doing things yourself. God must first transform you from the inside out.

My new goal in life is to realize that I am broken, every second of the day. If I can do that, then I will be able to see God work in a million of different ways, and isn’t that better than working myself to be perfect? Don’t get me wrong; obey what God has told you to do. Don’t use Grace as an excuse of not doing what He has told you to do.

However, to follow after Christ, we must understand that we are broken. – Forsake All

Boasting in Infirmities

2^nd Corinthians 12:7-10 says, “Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself! 8 Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. 9 And He has said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.’ Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 10 Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.”

Yesterday, during our Sunday Service, our executive pastor talked about this verse. Not to boast, but like most verses talked about in Church; I think I’ve already heard about them, until the Pastor begins to talk. Then I soon realized something that I have been struggling with for my whole life.

Paul is talking in these verses that he is not strong enough. See it? Verse 9 shows God talking to Paul saying “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” I know that I try so hard to be such a strong Christian. I read my Bible everyday, pray as often as I can, go on mission trips, tithe, man, it feels like I do everything. Everyday I keep waiting for the feeling of God saying, “Rob, dude, you’re awesome!”

Of course these are all good things, but am I just giving these to God? What about my infirmities? What about the way I cheat, lie, lust, envy, and all my insecurities? God is calling out to me, “Rob, you’re awful, but that is the way I will be glorified.” The pastor said that he wants people to look at us and see how awful we are, but that our God is amazing and beautiful.

This isn’t to say that we should continue in sin, but more so that we shouldn’t be weighed down by sin. It should show us how much we need God. Sin does not control us, but at the same time, we are not perfect. I know I try to be perfect. I try to be perfect every day and in everything I do, and I strive for the title of, “Rob the Perfect.”

It’s something I get from the community. Everyone knows the best people are perfect. You are considered smart if you get an 100% on a Math test, but if you get a 99% or lower, people may view you as smart, but not perfect, and form me, that’s a big issue. However, reread the verse. Does God work through the perfect, or even more so, those who try to be perfect? No! He works through the broken. He looks at us and says, “You are so lost, but let me work in You and My name will be great!”

Paul Washer, a favorite of mine, says it’s like the contrast of the stars and the night sky. Right now, it’s about noon, and looking in the sky, I see no stars. You may say, “Of course you don’t. It is midday.” However, when it gets closer to night, the sky begins to darken, and then you can see the glory of the stars. It’s the black of the night that causes the stars to shine so brightly. If the night wasn’t there, no one could see the stars.

This is to say that through us, people see how amazing God is. They see us, our flaws, but they understand how great our God is. This is something that really has touched me, and I hope it touches you to live differently too. How should we live? We should live showing God to the entire world. Let us boast in our infirmities.

I Believe You're My Healer

Exodus 15:26 says, “And He said, ‘If you will give earnest heed to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, the LORD, am your healer.’ ”

This verse follows the defeat of the whole Egyptian army pretty closely. Whoa, the whole Egyptian army? In chapter fourteen it says Pharaoh took six hundred of his select chariots and other chariots he had. Each one had an officer on it. That’s at least more than six hundred officers, and the sea would soon destroy all of them. One of the beautiful things in the book of Exodus, just as a side note, is the sovereignty of God, meaning how much He is in control. You may not really see it, but in verse four of chapter, He says that He will harden Pharaoh’s heart, in order for him to chase after the Israelites. Wait a minute, why would God put His own chosen people in a place where they could be killed? Well, look what happened later on.

He showed His great power by first, opening the Red Sea so that His people could walk across on dry land, and then He held the Egyptians back so that the Israelites had time to cross. As soon as God saw that it was right, He closed back the seas, and the entire army of Egypt was destroyed, and no one lived through it. So take this whole experience as a “diseases” and then imagine all the plagues that the Egyptians went through back in Egypt. The frogs, the locus, everything. God says that He is in our healer, meaning He is in control of our health.

Think about what that means for a little bit. I want you to think of a more personal family doctor type of person. Someone who knows you well enough to know when you are sick and when you need help. He isn’t just there when something goes wrong, and you need to be healed, but this whole idea of being a healer is someone who is constantly sustaining us. He is there when we are sick, and making sure we are healthy all the time.

Right now, there is a good chance there is sin in your life, but I don’t want you to be brought down by it, and neither does God. Romans 8:1 says, “Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” I want you to think of a balance beam, on one side it says, “Condemnation” and the other it says, “Perfection.” I want you to know it’s a balance of the mind.

By saying that, you need to find the right place where you are convicted by sin, and it hurts you because you know it hurts God’s heart, but don’t get too caught up in sin where it gets to the point that you are constantly weighed down by the fact that you have sin in your life. One of my new great mentors told me yesterday that We should be grateful for the way we are walking with Christ and, not to be weighed down with how it could be better, in fact, we should even praise God that it burdens us that our walk isn’t what we quite want it to be yet.

Negated Redundancy

Proverbs 3:1-2 say, “My son, do not forget my teaching/ But let your heart keep my commandments/ 2 For length of days and years of life/ And peace they will add to you.”

Proverbs is crazy about this idea of a young person listening to an older person. Why? Because that’s what the whole book is about. It’s a book for the simple to no longer be simple minded. Often times in this book, he relates the young with the simple, basically because they are inexperienced. The older are wiser because they have more experience and have seen things young people have yet to see.

However, this repeated phrase does not repeat itself in my heart. Can I be honest? I don’t listen to my parents as much as I should on certain subjects. Not because I hate them, but I guess it is because my degree of love towards them isn’t as much as it should be. To explain, if anyone asked me if I loved my parents, I would, without a doubt, say I do, but the question still remains, how much? Do I love them enough to do what they ask all the time, even when I don’t see the logic behind it.

I think the biggest issue we have is on the subject of girls and how to, in a sense, “deal” with them (Please don’t take that as a sexist remark). My dad, when he was in high school and in college, dated a lot of girls, and since then, he has completely changed his mind about the idea of dating, and that we shouldn’t until we were ready to be committed to someone for the rest of our lives. When he tells us to stay as far away from girls as possible, it’s really hard for me to see what that means, because I don’t know what it really looks like, because he didn’t do it when he was my age, but that is no excuse.

Previously, I had a choice to hang out with a really good friend of mine, who was a girl, and her family, and my parents said I shouldn’t, but the choice was up to me if I still would. Unlike Proverbs repeats over and over again, I went to go hang out. It wasn’t a sin in the sense that I was disobeying my parents, but it was considering that I should have been listening to what they were saying. It may not seem like a huge deal to have a different opinion with your parents, but it does split the relationship.

Look back up to the verse again. Do you see the part where it says, “keep my commandments”? Yeah, that’s pretty important. Do we have possession of the Word of God and our parents, or do we remember a few things and the let everything else kind of slip off? Is this you? Because I know it’s me. I don’t the teachings of my parents are in my heart, nor do I think I respect them or even fear them enough to obey what they have to say. I’ve struggled with this my whole life, but last night, I had a really good talk with my mom about different things going on in my life. And I listened.

I pray that you hear the cry of Wisdom in Proverbs 9:4-6, “4 “Whoever is naive, let him turn in here! To him who lacks understanding she says, 5 Come, eat of my food And drink of the wine I have mixed. 6 Forsake your folly and live, And proceed in the way of understanding.”

Conviction Among Brethren

Matthew 8:15-17 says, “If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. 16 But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY FACT MAY BE CONFIRMED. 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.”

I went to one of my friend’s Bible Studies tonight, where my Philosophy and Apologetics teacher speaks. It was fun, because everyone there knows everyone, and we all have a blast. They’ve been going through the book of Matthew and they came to these verses. We stopped and talked about them, and we were all pretty open to what the speaker had to say.

(Just a side note real quick, Mr. Golden, my teacher and the speaker there, has a great influence on me, and has really challenged my faith and made it stronger. Without him and others in my life, I’m not sure that I would be where I am today.)

When we began discussing this verse, we all put up walls in our minds that read, “I know what this means, and my opinion will never fully change.” However, I’d have to say that they did tonight. It just kind of blew our minds that we are to make the church a place where people can grow together.

Basically, from what we discussed tonight, we believe that churches are too accepting because they want big numbers, or they feel like they have to outreach to everyone. The truth is, some people just won’t accept the Gospel. The reason Jesus tells us to confront those is for healing and redemption, but when we hear the word, “confront,” we think of it in a negative context. Romans 7:7 says, “What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, “YOU SHALL NOT COVET.’ ”

We need conviction in our lives to know when we are doing some wrong. If we live our lives without anyone correcting us, how can we know that we are doing something wrong, and change? Don’t think that this is a sign of a lack of love, but it is the most loving thing possible. God says that a father who loves his son will discipline him. He is correcting him so he doesn’t make bigger mistakes later on.

Right now, I’m not sure if I know exactly what you’re going through, but know that God is crazy about you, and He wants you to live according to His will. He will mold you, even if it does hurt a little, to His perfect plan. If someone comes up to you to confront you about sin in your life, accept it, and realize that they love you more than those who noticed it, but continue to live on the way you do.

Loneliness

Isaiah 41:10 says, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

Gosh! I love this verse! I am also pretty sure everyone who knows anything about God, knows this verse. However, there is just one thing that doesn’t make sense to me. How can God be with me, if I don’t feel Him, or see Him next to me?

I know I’m not the only one who struggles with this question. If you struggle with this question, then I’m guessing you have a problem with loneliness, just like me. In fact, I think we all have a difficult time with this, because I believe that we were created to be with each other. Genesis 2:18 says, “Then the LORD God said, ‘it is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.’ ”

Wait a minute… Man wasn’t alone. Man had complete fellowship with God. Does this mean that we need another person like us to satisfy our loneliness? This is such an interesting verse, and preachers will say that it shows the importance of getting married. Others won’t go as far and say that this verse talks about how we need each other, which I think is true. If you go to the early church in Acts, it says that they sold what they had and shared among those who needed it.

I believe that God made a helper suitable for Adam so that we could have fellowship with one another. Does that mean that we need both God and man? Of course not, but what if God uses others to satisfy us? What if God works through people to give us fellowship? This puts man at a place where he is still lower than God, because man is simply an instrument of God.

God is all we need, and He is all we should long for. There is a verse in the Psalms that says, “Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart” (Psalm 37:4). John Piper has written an amazing book called, “Desiring God.” If you haven’t read it, I encourage you to. In it, he talks about finding joy in the Lord, and what that practically looks like.

But, isn’t that what we’re really looking for? Delight, that is. Isn’t that why we get a boy friend of a girl friend or have that even secret relationship that no one can ever know about? Don’t we do it to find Joy? You may say, “But Rob! You said that God uses people to give us fellowship!” You’re right, but examine in your heart; are you looking to man first or God?

I’m not saying being in a relationship is a bad thing, but I am saying that we are to look to Christ to fulfill us first, and then He will supply all our needs. Do we really even realize that the Bible says that if we delight ourselves in Christ, that we can receive all the desires of our hearts? I think we take that and say, “No way! That can’t be right.” But think about it this way. If we find complete Joy in the Lord, then our desire will become Him and everything we want will be according to God’s plan. Thus, if these two desires line up, then the things we desire, which is ultimately what God desires, will come to pass.

People say that Heaven is just the uniting of the wills, where our will perfectly matches up with the will of God for our lives. God desires to be worship, and in heaven, I’d say that’s a pretty good description of what we will be doing 24/7.

So right now, you may feel lonely. You may feel like you are missing something. Can I encourage you, as I encourage myself as well, that God is the only thing that can give you everlasting joy. Chase after Him, read the Bible, pray to Him, and He will chase after you. You may not feel the hug of a loved one, or the kiss of a lover, but stay strong in your faith. God has saved you by the blood of His son, and if He has set that down payment for your heart, there is no way that He’d forget you and lose what He paid for.

Just remember, that He is closer than the air we breathe. – Forsake All

Jenny's Testimony

Recently this week, one of my good friends was struggling with her faith. I asked her to share her story with all of you, so, here is Jenny's Testimony...

Have you ever felt so alone? Worthless, empty, with out a purpose in life? I know where you’re coming from. These past few weeks, I have felt nothing but sorrow, all the time. I would have a brief moment of happiness – hanging out with friends, acing a test, laughing with my family – but it would soon end. I thought I was just depressed, but I could feel something missing in my life. “But I am a Christian!” I’d tell myself. “I was saved as a child, I rededicated my life to Christ as 12, and at 14 I once again made sure I was saved.” Deep inside, I had a feeling that maybe, just maybe, I never was saved. Christians I know are so pumped up for God! They pray aloud without fear or shyness, the can’t get enough of reading God’s word, and they talk to Him/pray throughout the day. When I reflected back upon myself, I realized that I didn’t feel the same way. It took effort to remember to pray, talking to God (aloud? Never!) was awkward and unnatural, and if I did read my Bible it was a struggle to actually pay attention and not skip through.
I was explained some of these things to my best friend “S” the other day, and she called me to help me figure it out. She pointed out Romans 10:9-11, Romans 3:23, and Ephesians 2. I had thought becoming saved was just saying “God, I accept you into my heart. Please save me from my sins, thanks for dying on the cross.” But it’s so much more than that! My friend said saying those words means nothing, especially if it’s just head knowledge. Becoming a Christian is a change of heart, is proclaiming that God IS REAL, that Jesus really did DIE for my sins, that I may have eternal life. I had to really search within my heart: was I, indeed, not a Christian? I was so tired of being miserable all the time – of thinking I didn’t matter and had no purpose. But also, I was prideful. I’m not that bad of a sinner, I’m not like my siblings, coworkers, or people I know. It humbled me to know that I am not perfect (I knew that in my head, but it’s another thing to accept it with your heart).
As I began to search my heart, search my soul, I realized God was missing in my life. If I was really saved, swearing, speeding, texting and driving, and my attitude towards my schoolwork would all break my heart for knowing I was being disobedient to God. That night, as I sat in my bed trying to figure out what to say, I turned to Romans 10:9, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” By this time I had slid to the floor, taking it all in. I needed Jesus in my life – He is the only thing that can bring me everlasting peace, assurance of Salvation, and the means to survive each day. I prayed to God, and for the first time it felt natural. I asked Him to forgive me for all the sins I’ve committed against Him, I confessed that HE is LORD, that He is the God who saves – that He is more real than anything in this Matrix of a world. I confessed that Jesus did die for MY sins, that I was in need of being saved from eternity in hell. As I continued to pray, I felt a “peace which surpasses all understanding” drape over me.
I knew I had a purpose in life. I knew that God loved me, more than any man could understand, and I knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that God will never leave me or forsake me and I will spend eternity with Him. He didn’t promise life would be smooth-sailing, as even as I write this testimony I am being tested by the things around me. But please know, that if you feel worthless, purposeless, or are heartbroken by the world around you, there is a solution. And God, is the only One who can bring you peace and hope for the future, Jeremiah 29:11.

I know I'm not the only one who has benefited from reading this. The way that God has worked in her life has been amazing to hear about. If you have a story, that may be similar or not, that you want to share about your walk with christ, contact me at robertwegner1433@gmail.com

The Gospel

So today, I was thinking, "It'd be pretty cool to have a shirt that got people's attention about the Gospel." So I went online, made a shirt that states, "Ask Me About The Gospel" and bought it. It should be coming pretty soon. I'm kinda excited about it, but also, I want to make sure I am prepared that I know how to explain the Gospel... Hmmm, what exactly is the Gospel? Is it similar to a story about a superhero who comes in saves the day? Or is it a romantic drama in the sense that out of his great love for us, He came and died for us?... It has to be so much more than that though.
Lets start from the beginning. God created everything perfectly. Spotless. He made man and called him "very good." The man fell into temptation, and he lost everything, including his own life. At that moment, everything should have stopped. We shouldn't even be here. Adam and Eve deserved to be wiped off the face of the Earth. They had made what was completely Holy, dirty. I don't think we understand the overwhelming effect of this. Because of sin, our goal in life became in impossible. Our fellowship with God was torn apart. We fell into a pit of sin...
...But God threw a rope. No, more than a rope. His son. He gave up the life of His son to save us. Why? Because it was a part of His plan. Why do we think we are so important in God's plan for the world? In Exodus 32:9-10 He says, "9 “I have seen these people,” the LORD said to Moses, “and they are a stiff-necked people. 10 Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them. Then I will make you into a great nation.”
Right now, the only reason you are currently living, reading this blog, and breathing is by the Grace of God. Jonathan Edwards, in his sermon Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, at the very beginning talks about how we are standing over the fire of hell on a thin piece of material. If we were to fall or slip, merely by our weight, then we would burn in eternal hell. Is it not humbling to know that if you merely slip, you will perish forever?
I want you to know this very important fact, though; that God loves you even though you sin. Christ died for those He has saved, and will do everything in His power to draw them closer to Him. We need God. I don't think we understand how much, but we need Him. Every hour I need you. God knows that the one thing that can save us is Him, that's why He calls us to Him.
Because man had sinned, man needed someone in it's race to be perfect. However, because sin nature has descended to every man, no man could become perfect, because no man was born with the ability to be perfect. Then came Christ, who was born of a special birth, not into the line of sin nature. He had to become man to pay for man's sin. He was Holy and blameless, even though He took the blame for all our sin. He died on the cross to save us from hell. He saved us by dying on the cross.
It's important that you know that He indeed saved us by dying on the cross. Romans 5:9 says that we were "...justified by His blood..." His death did not partially save us, waiting for us to do something in return, but it completely made us clean. It is important for you to know that the blood of Jesus has cleansed you.
In saying that, know that you are to do nothing, whatsoever; Except one thing. This may confuse people, but listen to what I have to say. His grace is free, but if you truly accept it, then your life will change. Understand that I didn't say a changed life saves you, but the grace of God that you accept should radically change you. One of my favorite pastors, Paul Washer, gave the illustration of the following story.
"The church service had been going on for a while, but they were all wondering, 'Where is Washer?' for I hadn't shown up yet. I came in thirty minutes late and said, 'I apologize for being late. I was driving on the highway, when my hubcap had come off. I pulled over to the side of the highway, and say it in the middle of the interstate. I walked into the middle of the road to pick it up, when an 18-Wheeler going about 70 mph hit me. I was knocked over, but then got up, picked up my hubcap, and walked back to my car.' The elders looked at me and asked, 'How are you not dead?!' " (Paraphrased)
If Pastor Washer truly got hit by an 18-Wheeler, you would have been able to the effects of it; meaning, he would be dead. His point in that little story is that if we truly encounter God, meaning we become a believer, we should be so radically changed, it should be like being hit by a truck. It doesn't make sense to say, "Oh, God and I are buds" if we don't live like we have seen Him.
In Luke 14:28, Jesus says, "For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not ^(AC)first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?" What He is saying by this analogy is that if you are going to seriously give your life to Christ, accept and live out the Gospel, then you need to understand that your life will be called to much higher things then sin and death.
The Gospel is a love story, it truly is. But it is important for you to know that this love should drive you to do crazy things for the Kingdom of God. Your life should be different, the way you think should different, and the way you act should be different because of this loving relationship you have with your Creator.
Falling in love makes you do crazy things, so fall in love. - Forsake All

Small Sins

Small sins. Everyone has heard of them. "Yeah, I'm not a good driver, but it's whatever.",,"Yeah, I cheat, but it's no big deal." So many more excuses are present that we could go through. Right now, close your eyes, think of a small sin. Or, for some of you, you don't even have to pause to think about the small sin in your life. But for right now, keep that Small Sin in mind. Tonight, I head a youth pastor talk about super heros, and it kinda got me thinking. So the following illustration will include the classic.
Man of steel. Captain of the Justice League. Superman. He goes by many names. In his fight against crime, he faces missiles, the close loss of his loved one, and the challenge of being Clark Kent. However, we all know his biggest fear is Kryptonite. No strength of his can surpass the overwhelming greatness of this metal. Some call it his Achilles' Heel. What if Superman didn't have this weakness to Kryptonite? He would be immune to everything! He would be able to do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. However because of this small defect, he has limitations.
I would talk about Batman, but lets just agree that he isn't a superhero, just a super-millionaire.
Some other superheros don't have an external weakness, but a character flaw. The first the comes to mind is Thor. This superhero is also strong and has a hammer that can do a lot of different things. He can fly, he can control his hammer with magical powers, and he is the only one that can wield it. However, his internal issue is pride. This issue has himself thrown from his father's kingdom and onto earth. With all his greatness and strength, he still lacked control of pride, and was disciplined for his actions.
Now, lets take a brake from superheros and go to the Bible. What about Samson? He had everything a man could want, a good relationship with God, strength, and leadership. However, he had one downfall. Women. I think most guys can understand this, and also probably most girls too. With everything he had, he fell into temptation with a woman, and after that, his whole life went downhill.
What is the similarity between these men, and so many more? They all were powerful, great, mighty, and incorruptible except for one small thing. One Small Sin. For Thor and Samson, it was a problem of not getting rid of that small sin. If they would have saw that sin, then disposed of it, things would have been fine.
Now, think of that small sin in your life. For me, as I was driving home I was texting. Now I know my parents say it's wrong, but it's not that harmful to me because I am a really good driver, in my own mind. However, I am not willing to let this small sin get in the way of my relationship with God. I don't want my small sin to end up corrupting me like it did to Thor and Samson. If I don't get rid of this small sin, then I could end up dead on the side of the road, like so many other teenagers who text and drive.
Believe me, there are other small sins in my life that I need to change, and I will do my best to change them. But right now, remember that small sin in your life. Change it. Don't let it be your Kryptonite. Don't let it ruin you. You're better than that. - Forsake All
