God is the giver of all good things. Trusting in this, I find that I often treat prayer like a Christmas list, asking Him for the things that I want and that I need in my life. It’s possible that He can’t give me what I really need until I let go of a few things, such as old habits, and make more room.
So I’m going to start this new year by listing some needs that, with God’s help, will be eliminated from my life.

I’ll ask the Father to take away:
• My need to be appreciated.
  I don’t need praise from those around me. My God is the only one I want to impress. It is His approval that counts. John 12:43
• My need to ‘fit in’.
  Romans 12:2 and 1 Peter 1:14 tells me that I am not to conform to the pattern of the world around me but I must be transformed by the renewing of my mind.
• My need to appear smart.
  I don’t need to be a great speaker to share the good news of Jesus Christ. The power is in the message of the gospel, not in my words. 1 Corinthians 1:17-21
• My need to be physically attractive.
  Other people look at physical appearance, but they don’t see what the Lord sees. He sees my heart. 1 Samuel 16:7
• My need to be first.
  Paul writes that I shouldn’t look for what is good for me, but I should be concerned with what is good for others. 1 Corinthians 10:24
• My need to be wealthy.
  Luke 16:13 tells me that God and money cannot both have first place in my life. Luke 16:19-26 tells a story that warns against putting too much value on possessions. I’ll put God first and leave the rest to Him.
• My need to be strong.My own strength is never enough but the Bible tells me that God’s power can be displayed best when I am weak. 2 Corinthians 12:9&10
• My need to be ‘good enough.’ I always try to be good and do what is right, but no matter how hard I work at it, I always fail. I will always fall short of God’s glory. The amazing thing is that by His grace and through the work of Jesus Christ. I can rest in the fact that I am good enough. Romans 4:25 and Romans 6:18-19

We have an obligation because of our freedom in Christ to honour the Lord Jesus and our brothers in the LORD by our dress and by our behavior. For many years I was totally unaware of how my dress and behavior affected others. I was indifferent to the fact that I was, by the clothing I was wearing, causing a brother to stumble. It would be many years into my Christian walk before I realized I had an obligation to the LORD to avoid the appearance of evil, that I had a responsibility to protect the gift that I am to my husband and the duty to my brothers in the LORD to not be a stumbling block. Evil, you say? Yes… if I disregard my behavior and am careless about the message of the cross, I see this as evil. How frequently and easily we apply this to “drinking” and how acceptable it is for a Christian to not “drink” so as not to cause a brother to stumble, but how seldom this is applied to the area of modest dress. I believe the LORD has called me to minister to women and to share the ‘hard things’ and I am willing to be scoffed at for the sake of the LORD. I am aware that whenever this subject comes up, there will be accusation of legalism or of “bondage.” I am perfectly comfortable hearing these allegations because I probably at one time rejected these truths or thought the same thing until I began to understand the difference between legalism and obedience. When a woman is in the bonds of legalism, she depends on behaviors or thoughts and the performing of these duties as necessary to keeping or obtaining salvation. So then, fundamentally, legalism becomes a religion unto itself. So where does obedience to the Word differ from legalism in behavior and thought? In the last several years I have thought on this question perhaps thousands of times… wondering what in this world should a woman wear, how should a woman behave, where should a woman spend her time, how should a woman go about loving her husband and how should she live pleasing the LORD? So… here goes: It matters what a Christian woman looks like. It matters what she wears and doesn’t wear. She is a representative of the LORD.

 What is modesty… and what does the Word say about modesty? Not the world, but the Word. 1Timothy 2:9 says, “In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel…” Why is it important for a Christian woman to dress modestly? How modest is modest? Well, I have been mulling over this question for years… How low is too low and how high is too high… and what does it matter anyway? I used to think a one piece bathing suit was a modest thing to wear to the beach. I used to think that jeans were fine. I used to think that short skirts and strapless evening dresses were fine… until I began to ask the question: is this attire appropriate to the LORD? I began to ask myself what I would think were I to open the door and see the LORD standing on my porch… would it be pleasing to Him? Would it bring glory or shame to His Name?

There are numerous books written on style, glamour, colour charts, appearance and fashion. Everywhere we go, the world is dictating how we should dress—how we should look. Just today, a news article was commenting on the newest hairstyle trend being made popular by an actress in a movie. We often blindly follow the trends, consulting the magazines rather than consulting the Word. Many have written articles on the meanings of the verses in 1 Timothy and in 1 Peter 3 regarding the dress of a woman. Sadly, these articles rarely appear in “mainstream” Christian magazines and so to many Christian women, the discussion of modest dress either never comes up or it is rejected as under the category of legalism or fundamentalism. After reading these and other verses in the Bible, what would you say? Studying the meanings of the different words rendered “apparel,” would you say that modest dress is for legalists? I don’t think you would, in fact, I believe a careful study of the Scriptures necessitates a trip to the closet and a “weeding out” of inappropriate clothing.

Maybe you are thinking right now that you already do dress modestly but perhaps there are a few things that may attract attention to you in a way that is not appropriate. I share this with you all today, because I cannot recall a time I ever had instruction from the pulpit or from a Sunday School teacher in appropriate or inappropriate dress. I did not know that it was even something I ought to be concerned with. However, the more I read the Word, and the more I prayed to be a godly woman, the more I realized that my appearance really did matter and I began the journey to appropriate, modest dress. I am still studying to understand what it means to dress in modest apparel—apparel that does not cause a brother to stumble. I probably told you about a time ten years ago where I sat watching women and men watching women. I was amazed that the women in tight or low or short clothing were completely unaware of the distraction they were to some of the men. I was (in this “Christian” setting) further aware of the women who *did* know that the men were watching and the subtle entertainment and deception that was taking place… Entertaining to both the man and the woman and deceptive because of the emotions that were being stirred that were inappropriate and could or would not ever be rightly fulfilled. It was an occasion to entertain lust of the eyes and the pride of life. No matter what the world says about fantasy and entertainment… it is wrong. Does this matter? Yes, it matters. You might say something like, “well, I am not like that…” You are probably not like that… and then again, it is flattering to be found attractive by a man. You might say you no longer have an attractive figure or appearance… I think you’d be surprised at the different things men find attractive. Good men, married men, dedicated men…. You might say, “those men should learn to control themselves!” I’d reply, you’re right and jokingly say that that would be like telling them to stop breathing. You might laugh a little, but I would exhort you to pray and ask the LORD what He would have you to do regarding this subject of dress and appropriate clothing for the godly woman and then to talk candidly with your husband about men and what they see and what they think, how easily their thoughts are tantalized by the sights they see.

You may feel like you have dressed in a certain way for so long that you wouldn’t be able to change now. Or, you may feel like you *like* the way you dress and it’s too bad what others think. Would you be open to the LORD and His promptings? I do join you in praying for what is best and seeking what is or isn’t appropriate. I would just say in closing, that it really does matter what you wear and how you represent the very God we serve. He has given us all we need in the Word for instruction as to what we ought to wear and how we ought to appear.

2Timothy 3:16 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”

Ten Reasons to Send Your Child to a Christian School

Friends, we  never sent our son to a public school even when we couldn’t afford it.  He is a Youth Pastor today. Thank God for the godly teachers he had all his life. To him there is no other way to live his life, but in the service of the Lord. 

TEN REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD SEND YOUR CHILD TO A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL by Paul A.    

    
 ONE: You are accountable to God for what your children are taught in school.  Proverbs 22:6 is a direct command to parents.  It says, “Train up a child in the way he should go…” What your children are taught in school should be a direct extension of your parental views.  The teachers under whom your children are taught should be the kind of teachers you would personally hire if your children were being educated in your home.

    TWO: Christian schools offer a better level of instruction.  There is no question about it.  The test scores over a long period of years are conclusive.  The annual Stanford Achievement Test administered to first through eighth grade Christian school students in the western states shows these students to be seven to nineteen months ahead of the national norm in reading, and seven to thirteen months ahead of the national norm in all subject areas.

    THREE: The Bible does not teach that children should be exposed to all kinds of sin.  We are to train “up” a child, not point him downward.  Children do not grow spiritually stronger in a negative non-Christian environment.

Students do not become stronger Christians by being taught non-Christian thinking, but by being taught Christian thinking, and there is no such person as a “neutral” school teacher who neither advances nor inhibits religion.  School represents 16% of your child’s time.  It is prime time, a training time, and Christian school education represents a positive Bible- centered form of instruction that will build a child up in the faith- -not tear him down.  Proverbs 19:27 says, “Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.”

    FOUR: The Christian school is right for your child because the Christian school has not cut itself off from the most important book in the world–the Bible.  Without the Bible, education is nothing more than the blind leading the blind.  Standards for morality must be taken from Scripture alone, not from situations as often taught in secular schools.  As Theodore Roosevelt stated, “To train a man in mind and not in morals is to train a menace to society.”

    FIVE: The Christian school provides an opportunity for your child to witness for Christ.  This surprises some people because they assume all students in a Christian school are Christians.  In most cases a majority are Christian; however, in every Christian school there are always some students who need the Savior.  Christian students are trained and encouraged to reach these youngsters for Jesus Christ.  Witnessing in a Christian school has the support of parents, students, teachers, administration and the school board.  Presenting Christ as Savior is not illegal in a Christian school.

    SIX: Christian school educators teach all subject matter from a Christian context.  They put the Bible at the center of the curriculum and ask students to evaluate all they see in the world through the eyes of God.  To quote Dr. Roy Zuck,

    The secular vs. Christian school issue is really a question of whether a child will learn to view life from man’s perspective or God’s perspective.  From man’s viewpoint, history is purposeless; from God’s viewpoint, history has meaning.  From man’s viewpoint, science is the laws of “nature” at work; from God’s viewpoint, science is the outworking of His laws.

In a Christian school, a student is exposed to the centrality of God in all of life.  In public education, a student is legally “sheltered” from this important dimension of education.

    SEVEN: Christian schools support the family as the number one institution of society.  Christian school educators train students to respect their parents.  These educators agree with the early American patriot, Noah Webster, who said, “All government originates in families, and if neglected there, it will hardly exist in society.”

    EIGHT: “The atheists have, for all practical purposes, taken over public education in this country.” Shocking words, yes, but they were spoken by a prominent public school educator, Dr. W.P.Schofstall, former Arizona State Superintendent of Schools.  Paradoxically, many public school personnel openly support Christian school education. 

As a matter of fact, the largest group of parents who send their children to Christian schools are public school teachers and principals.  I conducted a nationwide survey among these public school educators.  The following statement is typical of the responses I received:

    I prefer to send my children to a Christian school because Christ is central to all information taught and caught.  The public school is basically humanistic and materialistic in its approach to life and the fundamental questions of human existence and purpose.  The Christian school holds a unique position with the home and the church.

    NINE: Christian school educators maintain discipline in the classroom and on the playground.  Without a reasonable standard of discipline, the process of education is severely hampered. “For whom the Lord loves, He disciplines…” the Bible teaches.  And it is within that context of love that discipline is carried out in a Christian school.  This important feature of education is rapidly disappearing from the public school education.  According to the recent GALLUP POLL OF PUBLIC ATTITUDES TOWARDS EDUCATION,

    Lack of discipline in the public schools again heads the list of problems cited most often by survey respondents.  Discipline has, in fact, been named the number one problem of the schools in seven of the last eight years.  New evidence of its importance comes from the special survey of high school juniors and seniors.  An even higher percentage of this group names discipline as the leading problem faced by the public school.

    TEN: “We believe that our children are gifts of the Lord.  We are responsible to train them according to His Word not only at home and in church, but in school as well.”  This statement was made by a parent in response to a question on an application form for enrollment of his children at Delaware County Christian School in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

    More and more parents, especially Christian parents, are coming to the conclusion that secular public education and most of its teachers and principals no longer represent their personal parental views.  These parents are exercising their freedom of choice and sending their children to Christian schools and colleges.

My 8th Christmas in Heaven

I still miss my dear mother, words cannot express here what she means to me. She suffered greatly but now she is with Jesus. In his arms she will remain forever.

I see the countless
Christmas trees
around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven’s stars,
reflecting on the snow

The sight is so spectacular,
please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs
that people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can’t compare
with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you,
the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description,
to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart.
But I am not so far away,
We really aren’t apart.

So be happy for me, dear ones,
You know I hold you dear.
And be glad I’m spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift,
from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory
of my undying love.

After all, love is a gift more precious
than pure gold.
was always most important
the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other,
my Father said to do.
I can’t count the blessing or love
has for each of you.

So have a Merry Christmas and
Wipe away that tear
Remember, I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, “Who would like this $20 bill?”

Hands started going up. He said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this.” He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. He then asked, “Who still wants it?” Still the hands were up in the air.”

Well,” he continued, “What if I do this?” And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. “Now who still wants it?” Still the hands went into the air.

“My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson.

No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless.

But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value in God’s eyes. To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to Him.
Psalm 17:8 states that God will keep us, “as the apple of His eye.”

 God Needs Your Personality

Ezekiel 18:4, “Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.”

by Bro. Jack Hyles.

 

God made you to fill a particular need. 

You are different from everyone else who came before you, and you are different from everyone else who will come after you.  This means you are unique!  There has never been anybody like you, and there will never be anybody like you.  Just as there are no two snowflakes alike, no two grains of sand alike, even so, no two people are alike.  That leads us to several conclusions:

1. God’s need for you is unique.  There is something that you can do for God that no one else can do.  Since man was made for the praise of God’s glory and for fellowship with his God, then each man has a particular fellowship to offer God that no other man has.  I love that.  If I do not praise God and offer Him my praise, there is a unique praise He will not receive, for nobody’s praise is exactly like mine and nobody’s worship is exactly like mine, for nobody’s soul or personality is exactly like mine.
 

2. Your relationship with Him is unique.  We are not simply a choir of robots chanting praises to God; each of us has his own personality made by God to fill an appetite.  There is no one who can give God exactly what you can give him.  For example, among His Apostles was one such as beloved John, who was affectionate and steady, and there was one like Peter, who was quick to speak and yet very zealous.  There was Andrew, unspectacular, a good children’s worker, but very predictable, and then there was James, who was very businesslike and pastoral.  No two apostles gave to Jesus exactly the same thing.  Each had his own peculiar relationship with Christ.

This is true in a church.  There are thousands of members of the First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana, but each member offers to his pastor something that no other member can offer, and each relationship is unique to itself.  I find this true on my church staff.  There are no two people who offer the same thing.  Each relationship is different and none is like it. 

Years ago I was teaching my soul-winning course in Jacksonville, Florida.  It was taught in the afternoon, and after the course was over, a man was driving home on a trip of about 40 miles, I think, in order to get his wife to bring her back to the service that evening.  He had just taken the soul-winning course and was wanting to put into practice what he had learned.  He pulled over to the shoulder of the highway and offered a ride to a hitchhiker.  When the hitchhiker got into the car, he pulled a weapon on the man and announced that he was going to kill him.  The man said, “All right, go ahead and kill me, but I just took a course on how to win a soul, and while you are killing me I am going to be telling you about Jesus and how you can go to Heaven when you die.”  Soon the would-be murderer bowed his head and received Christ as his Saviour and the would-be murdered became a soul winner.  The new convert handed the weapon to the one who had led him to Christ and came back to church with him that night.  It was a never-to-be-forgotten experience when the man who was going to kill stood beside the man who was going to be killed, arm in arm praising the Lord together. 

The strange thing was the way people responded that night.  I remember one red-faced fellow jumped up in the back and shouted, “Well, glory!”  I recall another fellow who got so happy he laughed and laughed and could not control his laughter.  While one was shouting, “Well, glory!” and one was laughing out of control, I was weeping.  Over in the corner another was so happy he was clapping his hands, and dear Dr. John R. Rice was saying very sweetly, “Amen! Amen! Amen!”  Don’t you see?  Each of us shared the same experience with the rest of us, and yet no two of us responded exactly alike.

Even so, Jesus needs you to fill a particular need that no one else can fill.  He needed a Mary to sit at His feet and worship Him.  He needed a Martha to prepare His meal.  He needed a John to lean on His breast.  He needed a David to play his harp.  He needed a Jeremiah to weep.  Thank God that none of these can offer God what I can offer Him.  I cannot offer Him as much as they, but I can offer Him something different.  That means He needs me, and He needs you!
 

3. Your privileges are unique.  An illustration of this would be the staff of the First Baptist Church of Hammond.  Randy Ericson, the dear man who oversees all the maintenance of our church, meets with me weekly and we have a good time.  Steve Sloan, one of our custodians meets me at my care when I arrive every morning and we chat together for a few minutes.  Larry Weller drives the van and chauffeurs me from the airport each week and often drives me to speaking engagements, so we are together in a different way.  Elmer Fernandez sees me every other week for appointment, and he almost always brings me a bite to eat.  All of the men on my staff are important, but each one has privileges and contact with the boss that none of the others have.  Ray Young, John Colsten, Larry Bullard, Keith McKinney, Bill Schutt, Roy Moffit, Jim Wertz, Eddie Lapina, etc. have different and unique privileges that they receive from me and contributions that they make to me.  The same is true with God.  You have privileges that nobody else has.  There is something that He allows you to do that He allows no one else to do in the same way.
 

4. Your responsibilities are unique.  My mother is, at this writing, 94 years of age.  I have one living sister (two are in Heaven).  Now my sister has one type relationship with my mother and I have another.  Both are important, but they are different.  I provide for Mother and have for years.  My sister very patiently and gently cares for Mother.  They live together, and no one could be any more careful or loving toward her mother than is my sister.  Mother needs me because it is my responsibility to care for her financially and to offer her security.  She needs my sister as much as she needs me, but in a different way.  She needs my sister to help her get to church, to give her companionship at home and to watch over her health and care.

I am grateful to God that I am different.  He has millions of children, but not any is exactly like I am.  I have a relationship with Him that is different from that of any of His children.  He needs me in a way that is different from His need for any of His other children.  My privileges with Him are different from any other child of God, and my responsibilities toward Him are unique and different.  This means that I can love Him in a way that no one else can love Him.  I can praise Him in a way that no one else can praise Him.  I can serve Him in a way that no one else can serve Him.  I can be to Him what no one else can be to Him.  This does not mean that I serve Him better or praise Him better or that He loves me more; it just means that I am different from every other child of God, and since I am different, my relationship is like none other.  How wonderful!  How blessed!  Praise God, He needs me!  I am so glad!

The Visitor

One day, a man went to visit a church. He arrived early, parked his car, and got out. Another car pulled up near him, and the driver told him, “I always park there. You took my place!”

The visitor went inside for Sunday School, found an empty seat, and sat down. A young lady from the church approached him and stated, “That’s my seat! You took my place!”

The visitor was somewhat distressed by this rude welcome, but said nothing.

After Sunday School, the visitor went into the church sanctuary and sat down. Another member walked up to him and said, “That’s where I always sit. You took my place!”

The visitor was even more troubled by this treatment, but still said nothing.

Later, as the congregation was praying for Christ to dwell among them, the visitor stood, and his appearance began to change.

Horrible scars became visible on his hands and on his sandaled feet.

Someone from the congregation noticed him and called out, “What happened to you?”

The visitor replied, “I took your place.”
