Without This, You Don't Belong to God
February 24, 2021
Without This, You Don't Belong to God
God disciplines those he loves. If we are without the discipline of our Father, the Scriptures say we are illegitimate children. Sometimes the love of God is painful. Don't despise those times in your life where you are in difficult or painful situations. Remember that Jesus endured such great hostility from sinners and it was the joy set before him that allowed him to endure! Instead of trying to "flex" your way through the discipline, submit to God and trust the process.

A New Sound with Chris Klimis
January 12, 2021
"Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread." --Luke 24:35
Peter sits down with his good friend Chris Klimis to discuss a "new sound" through which Jesus is being revealed to the Church. On the road to Emmaus two disciples were walking with Jesus and yet they didn't know it. It was only until Jesus broke the bread that he was revealed to them. The sound of the breaking of bread represents the intimacy of the new covenant...with God and one another.

The Joy Killer
January 5, 2021
Joy is underrated. Most of us think that joy is sort of like the cherry on top of a decadent ice cream sundae that we could do without if needed. It is treated as a luxury instead of a necessity. And the result of this lack of value that we place on joy is many of us living in depression and apathy. Depression is running rampant. Joyless Christianity is not Christianity. Christianity without joy becomes some vacant moral code of excellence that people must strive to achieve in order to receive some token of God's love and blessing. It is anathema to the gospel. It is contrary to life in the New Covenant. But for many, it has become normal. Marching through life with no smile. No warmth of affection or care for fellow man. This doesn't have to be the case.
So if we are not experiencing this joy, what is the problem? Who or what is stealing our joy? If those things should be producing joy in our lives, and they are not, what's wrong? Something must be taking our attention away from all of this glory! What is that something...? I believe that "something" is what the Scriptures call a "sin conscience". A conscience that is defiled by sin is a conscience that is more aware of its own weakness, sin and failure than it is the cleansing power of the blood of Jesus. Our consciousness of God and his abiding presence is directly affected by the cleanness of our conscience. Our conscience is not the Holy Spirit, but I do believe our conscience can perceive the Holy Spirit. And the quickest way to deaden our senses to God's spirit and his presence is to allow our conscience to be dominated by an awareness of sin. This awareness of sin is not the same as an acknowledgement and confession of sins.
Hebrews 10:1-4
"For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered each year, make perfect those who draw near. Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins."

Jesus Hiding in Plain Sight
December 29, 2020
How did God in the flesh, Jesus Christ, walk the earth for so many years but was not recognized by most? What is it about God that he can hide in plain sight? He came to his own, but his own did not recognize him.
9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. (John 1:9-10)
It was people's perceptions about how the Messiah would come that blinded them to his manifest presence. Can you imagine, prior to Jesus' ministry, how many ordinary and mundane interactions Jesus must have had with people? How many times did people dismiss him, ignore him, insult him or even joke with him. The breath they used to speak to him was given by him and they knew it not! Jesus' ways are so contrary to our ways. His humility offends us at best and keeps us blind to his nearness at worst.
What if Jesus was hiding in plain sight? What if he was not far from you? What if you could discern his presence even now?
If you do not now see, experience and enjoy Jesus...then you should look differently! It can be hard to find Jesus in all the cultural hiding places. In the foggy mirrors of politics, religion and pain. But the good news is that Christ has been revealed to us. And in this revealing of Christ, we are forced to think differently about God. We are forced to open our minds and expand our hearts to believe that there is a good God who is for us and not against us. That there is a kind and loving Father that longs for us his children to know him intimately.
