Books Read in 2008

Hey! I was digging through some old files and i found my list of books read in 2008. A lot of times someone asks me what I've been reading... Well, here it is. I love talking about books and encourage anyone else who shares this love and is interested in any of the '08 selection to chime in. It's pretty eclectic, so i hope that there's something for everyone. I left my Bible books in because they are some of the most thought provoking, controversial books in the Bible and worthy of some great discussions. Keep reading! GP

Just Returned From a Great Ministry in Mesa

I just returned from a great ministry in Mesa, AZ called Sunshine Acres. I've been wanting to find someplace close to home to partner with and give back. If you've never heard of it before, here's some info. about it.

http://www.sunshineacres.org/

Sunshine Acres
Mission: Our mission is to provide a loving, wholesome, Christian home for children who are separated from their parents, and to help them establish long-term relationships with stable parental figures.

The Children: We serve boys and girls of all ages. The entry age is between 5 and 15. Exceptions are considered on a case-by-case basis. Placements are for a minimum of one year and may continue as long as needed and appropriate - even through college. Children are accepted regardless of race, gender,religion or national origin. Sunshine Acres is a Home and we treat the children as our own. We always welcome visits from former children and their families, as our greatest joy is hearing of their success in life.

Our Founders: Vera Dingman, who founded Sunshine Acres with her husband, Rev. Jim Dingman in 1954. Passed away on July 19, 2005. Her faith in God and loving heart are an inspiration to us all. She is dearly missed. Her legacy lives on in our staff and the lives of the boys and girls.

Fees: Guardians are encouraged to participate in the childs care as able. No child is turned away for financial reasons.

Funding: Our home is primarily funded by private donations. Contributions are given by individuals, through the United Way, family estates, corporate, and memorial gifts. All gifts, whether they be large or small, are deeply appreciated. We do not receive any financial support from the Federal, State, or City Governments for care of the children. All donations are tax deductible.

I'm praying for God's wisdom in partnering with this ministry. It is definately my heart and i look forward to helping them in any way that we can. Please log onto their site to learn more about this wonderful minstry in the heart of Phoenix.

Christian Justice - Part One

Let me preface what you are about to see with a clear statment. Some of you will not be interested in this blog post. Some of you will be VERY interested in this blog post. It is the lesson that I'll be teaching this coming Wed. about Justice with reference to the book of Isaiah. You'll see it exactly as I wrote it with questions to ask and places to pause. I am doing this because I think that there are people out there who care about justice and want to play an active part in seeing it come to pass - they just need a subtle push. For some of you, let this be your push! Enjoy.

Christian Justice – Part I

What comes to your mind when I say the word “justice”?
What are some synonyms to this word “justice”?

So, the definition of the word justice is:
1. The quality of being righteous
2. impartiality; fairness
3. the quality of being right or correct
4. reward of penalty as deserved

Justice has a lot to do with ‘rights’ and ‘wrongs’. Can you list some things that you would say is ‘right’ in life when it comes to the lives of teenagers? Can you give me a list of ‘wrongs’?

If we have a wrong idea of what’s right and what’s wrong in our minds, how can that affect your idea of ‘justice’?

Sometimes it is ignorance which keeps us from understanding injustice. Ignorance doesn’t mean we’re dumb, it simply means that we don’t know.

Can you give me an example of something that happened at school that demanded ‘justice’? do good on a test, kids get in a fight, cheat on test, graffiti

The Bible uses two words to look at justice. The first is ‘mish-pawt’ (pronouced) and means properly a verdict (favorable or unfavorable), a sentence or a divine law. Let’s read some verses using this word ‘mish-pawt’:

Lev 24:22 I am the LORD your God, and I demand equal justice both for you Israelites and for those foreigners who live among you. (H4941)

Pro 2:8 God sees that justice is done, and he watches over everyone who is faithful to him. (H4941)

Isa 5:16 But the holy LORD God All-Powerful is praised, because he has shown who he is by bringing justice. (H4941)

Psa 105:7 The LORD is our God, bringing justice everywhere on earth. (4941)

Hos 12:6 So return to your God. Patiently trust him, and show love and justice. (H4941)

Mic 6:8 The LORD God has told us what is right and what he demands: "See that justice is done, let mercy be your first concern, and humbly obey your God." (H4941)

Zep 3:5 All who do evil are shameless, but the LORD does right and is always fair. With the dawn of each day, God brings about justice. (H4941)

What are some things that we can learn from these verses about God and ourselves?

There’s another word that the Old Testament (Hebrew) uses for this word ‘justice’. This word is ‘tsaw-dak’. This word means ‘to be right in a moral or forensic sense’. So, we saw that ‘mish-pawt’ meant a verdict, ‘tsaw-dak’ means that thing which is right.

Deu 32:4 The LORD is a mighty rock, and he never does wrong. God can always be trusted to bring justice. (H6663)

Job 34:17 The mighty God is the one who brings about justice, and you are condemning him. (H6662)

Psa 45:7 You love justice and hate evil. And so, your God chose you and made you happier than any of your friends. (H6664)

Psa 58:11 Everyone will say, "It's true! Good people are rewarded. God does rule the earth with justice." (H6662)

Psa 97:6 The heavens announce, "The LORD brings justice!" Everyone sees God's glory. (H6664)

Isa 24:16 From all over the world songs of praise are heard for the God of justice. But I feel awful, terribly miserable. Can anyone be trusted? So many are treacherous! (H6662)

Isa 61:10 I celebrate and shout because of my LORD God. His saving power and justice are the very clothes I wear. They are more beautiful than the jewelry worn by a bride or a groom. (H6666)

Zec 8:8 and I will bring them to live in Jerusalem. They will be my people, and I will be their God, faithful to bring about justice. (H6666)

When we see this, we almost always see it equated with what God is bringing with Him. He’s bringing this sense of ‘rightness’ with Him and when we see injustice, we can be sure to know that He wants to be at work in the midst of it.

Can you give me any examples of injustice in the Bible?
How do we see God responding in the midst of that injustice?

In our lives, we all have seen things or been in situations that seemed ‘unfair’. Whether it’s someone being picked before us in gym class to not getting the scholarship we need for college, we’ve all faced unfairness in some way. There’s another word we’re going to look at today – “oppression”.

Definition: “Oppression is unfairness taken to extremes.”

Oppressors use lies and force to take what rightly belongs to someone else.

Can you give me some examples of oppressors from today or history that you read about or saw on TV?

What made them oppressors?

God is very patient with failures and mistakes and slips and backslides and screwups but is incredibly intolerant of oppression.

Let’s read a portion of scripture that we’re focusing on today. Isaiah 1:10-17

“Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah?” vs. 10

Who does it appear that Isaiah is talking to?

Can anyone tell me the story of Sodom and Gomorrah?

History tells us that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed in the time of Abraham who lived around the year 2000BC. In his time Sodom and Gomorrah were completely destroyed. Isaiah lived around 700BC – 1300 years later.

This would be like me calling you after a city that was destroyed in 700AD. What made the story of Sodom and Gomorrah one that was remembered for 1300 years and then even over double that after this reference?

What were some of the attributes of Sodom and Gomorrah that Isaiah was trying to put on Judah?

Let’s keep reading.

“The multitude of your sacrifices – what are they to me?” says the Lord. “I have more than enough of burnt offerings, of rams and the fat of fattened animals; I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats. When you come to appear before me who has asked this of you, this trampling of my courts? Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations – I cannot bear your evil assemblies. Your New Moon festivals and your appointed feasts my soul hates. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you; even if you offer many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood…” vs. 11-15

If God were saying this message today to the church, what would it sound like? What words would be different?

If I was Judah, I would feel pretty helpless right now. Here, God has basically said that I could give as much money in the offering as I could and it wouldn’t make Him happy. I could pray till I was blue in the face and He won’t listen or even look at me. He’s telling me that all my special church services that I attend are worth nothing in His eyes.

If you were to look at an individual who gave money to the church, attended every time there was a service and prayed, would you think that this is what God would be saying to him? Why or why not?

The good news is that God gives hope. He’s in the hope business. This portion continues to say… “…Your hands are full of blood; wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight! Stop doing wrong. Learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.” Vs. 15-17

I love how the CEV puts it. “Stop doing wrong and learn to live right. See that justice is done. Defend widows and orphans and help those in need.”

I’m a simple guy and I love simplicity. God, through Isaiah, makes this so simple for us.

Just from reading this, what do you think is more important in the eyes of God – coming to youth group or seeking justice? Coming to church or seeking to overturn injustice?

Let’s look a little deeper at this verse. We see the command from Isaiah – ‘Stop doing wrong!’ We have to remember that Isaiah was not an evangelist at this moment trying to get people to turn to God. He is talking to the ‘church’. He is talking to believers.

What wrong doing do you see in some people who follow God today?

If you don’t want to answer this aloud, you don’t have to. But if you do, you can. What wrong doing have we seen when we look in the mirror?

The command, right after ‘stop doing wrong’ is "learn to live right". If the command is to learn, this means that it is not innate. It is something that we have to develop or learn.

What are some things that we can do to ‘learn to live right’?

Next, two words ring loud – “Seek Justice”. This word seek can mean to tread or follow or ask or question. It gives the idea that we should look intently for justice and, if we don’t find it, begin to question why it isn’t there. Conversely, we should locate where we do see justice and find out what is allowing that situation to be just, learn from it and apply it elsewhere.

“Encourage the Oppressed” is the next command. The King James Version of the Bible says ‘relieve the oppressed’. The word used here can mean ‘to be straight with’ or ‘to be honest with’ or ‘to be right, honest or happy with’. When I first read this I thought to myself, ‘I wouldn’t want to be straight and honest with someone who is oppressed – it said that I was supposed to encourage them, not depress them.’ Then I started thinking. They know their situation. They know what’s going on. And, if my heart’s right and I really want to help them out of their oppression then my honesty will be a sense of encouragement toward them.

Let’s take a moment and look at the oppressed. Give me some examples of those who are oppressed in some different categories:
1. In the world
2. In the US (country)
3. In Arizona (state)
4. In Wickenburg (city)
5. In our school

The next command is to ‘Defend the cause of the fatherless’.

What does it mean to defend?
In your opinion, who are the fatherless?
Can you think of some other people who need defending?

Lastly, we read that we are to ‘plead the case of the widows’.

What is life like for a widow?
What does it mean to plead their case?

I am a fan of simplicity and pleased that God used Isaiah to make this portion of scripture so simple for me. Unfortunately, its simplicity to understand does not lessen its difficulty to implement. I see the need. It’s immense. It’s vast. It’s more than I can handle at some times. But if not you… then who? And if not now… then when?

I hope you enjoyed!

IGNITE Food Drive... So Stinking Proud!

I am so stinking proud of the teens of IGNITE Youth Group. They are making a great difference in this world - one life at a time. At a moment when the biggest concerns on many teens' lives are their Guitar Hero scores or what level of WOW they are on - these kids devoted their time, energy and strength for those less fortunate in their community. Words can't express the joy that i have in my heart for them. I wanted to link you to the story in the paper about them, but i couldn't find it. Instead, take this photo, blow it up and check it out. Go ahead and comment and i'll let them know what the world thinks of what they're doing...

Photos From our Food Drive Pt. 1

Well world, today was awesome! Many times in life you come up with an idea and you begin to walk down a path and it's not until you reach your destination that you discover that the hand of God had to be guiding you. That is where I was today. I can honestly say that i am not a crier, but overwhelmed with emotion from the work that we did today, i almost broke down in tears.

The idea was a food drive to help the CAP (Community Action Program) in my town. They help those less fortunate in my city and were running low on food. We decided to take a stand and do something about it. I came to the realization that i want to change the world, but the world's too big to change. But, what i can do is find something that i can change... and change that and then each change we make will help to change the world. This idea was the food bank in my town - and that is just what we did.

I am so thankful for all the people who joined in this endeavour. From my good friends Kevin and Alan to the teens and adults from the church. There were some as young as two and some as old as... well, i guess age really doesn't matter :) Enjoy the photos and always remember - 'You can make a difference on this earth! Just find the need and fill it'. I Hope You Enjoy These Photos!

Much Love,

Food Drive Starts Today!

OK! Today is the day. We are hitting the streets and letting everyone know that we're coming back tomorrow for their food. That's right - "Just put the canned goods in the bag and step away from the door!"

Ha! Ha!

If you read this, say a prayer for us today that we'll have a great impact on those less fortunate here in Wickenburg.

Thanks,

New Life Quote

If you know me, than you would know that i love quotes and books and reading. In fact, if you've been around me at all you would probably know that one of my favorite quotes is - "Readers are..."

Some of you just finished this sentence. It is that embedded in your soul! I'm so excited!

Readers are Leaders!

And if you know me, you probably also know that my life verse is Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you,' says the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and future."

But now i have a new favorite quote. I heard it said by a wonderful speaker the other day, but it originally came from the lips of St. Augustine. It goes like this...

"Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you."

I LOVE IT! It encapsulates me perfectly. It's my heart and my thought and everything that i believe to be true. I hope it gives you something to think about today...

Loving Enemies - A Challenging Opportunity

I came across a wonderful scripture today. It's one of those scriptures that are extremely idealistic and seemingly impossible when you put a real life situation in its context. It's the kind that cause you to read faster and skim and overlook and justify. It's the sort that causes you to make excuses. It's one of those ones that make you think. And, when it is all said and done, and you are given the opportunity to live it out - it causes you to become a better person, a stronger believer and a greater Christian. The verse I'm referring to can be found in the book of Luke, chapter 6 and verse 35.

"Love your enemies! Do good to them! Lend to them! And don't be concerned that they might not repay. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to the unthankful and to those who are wicked." NLT

I know what you're thinking. "Yeah! Thanks Jesus. You had to bring up the enemy thing again. I don't really have any enemies - just people i dislike... just those i don't trust or choose to spend my time with. That's all."

Looking deeper into this verse will help us understand it so much better. We find it beginning with Jesus giving three distinct commands.

1. Love Your Enemies - Now he is telling you to express 'agape' love to those who hate you and express hostility toward you. This statement falls in line with the true reality of 'agape' love - a love which is shown to both friend and enemy. The same love that is found in another popular Bible verse called John 3:16.

2. Do Good to Them - Here, Jesus is expressing what that agape love practically looks like. He's telling us to 'Do Good'. This whole statement is cooked down to one word in the Greek NT and that word is 'agathopoieo' which can be defined as 'to do good; to do something which will profit another, to be a good help to someone or to do someone a favor'. The amazing contradiction here isn't that Jesus is telling us to do good, but to whom we are to do this good - our enemies.

3. Lend to Them - Yes. That's right. 'Lend to them'. And, in this regard Jesus is not simply referring to your coat or an old dirty pair of socks, but money. That's right - Cash, Ben Franklins, C-notes and Pesos. Jesus understood that when you are willing to lend your money to someone, that you are on the right road of relationship that reflects that agape love.

Now, the Greek ties together these two separate sentences found in the NLT. 'Lend to them' and 'Don't expect them to return it'. So, originally the sentence read... "Lend expecting nothing in return".

This can be taken two different ways - 'Lend and don't expect even the principle back.' Our way of saying this would be 'Give' instead of lend. Or, instead of this, Jesus is telling them not to expect any interest at all, but to give, only expecting to receive the principle back one day. I am choosing not to debate either one of these thoughts, but to simply tell you that if you're willing to 'lend money' to an 'enemy', I'm happy with either one of these reactions. Lend to them not expecting anything or expecting your principle alone tells me that your heart is right. You're not lending to make a profit of your enemy. You're not trying to take advantage of a bad situation. You're not trying to hustle anyone. You're just operating with the 'agape' love God desires from His children.

Now, the best part of every tough command is the promise that goes along with it. And we find this promise in the same verse... 'Your reward from heaven will be very great'.

For me, i don't need to know what the reward is. Simply understanding that it comes from heaven and the very presence of God and angels and perfect peace is enough for me. Is it a monetary blessing and the opening up of doors that could only be opened by the hand of the Divine? Is it in inner peace which sustains me through the most difficult times? Is it a supernatural protection against forces that i am not even aware lie in my future to thwart me? Honestly, i don't know and i don't care. I only know that when God gives me something it's good and He knows what is best for me and those things that i need more than anything.

He also continues and gives the greatest compliment of all. He says that when we 'do this' - when we express 'agape' love to our enemies, that we will be acting as 'children of the Most High'. He tells us that we'll look like our daddy when we do that. He tells us that we'll be reflecting the family name. And for myself, there's nothing that could be better than being a good reflection of my family... a strong likeness of my daddy.

Through looking at this verse a little closer, i hope that you were challenged to truly look deep at your life. Don't just skim over this. Don't just put a checkmark down that you read this and move onto the next thing. No. Really ask yourself, "What does this mean to me? What is God trying to tell me right now and how am i going to walk this thing out?" By doing this, you're expressing your willingness and a strong desire to live out the words of Jesus.

Be Blessed!

Mexico Mission Trip Video - RAV 2008

Mission Trip Update - RAV 2008!

OK! It's 6:45 am and I have a few minutes to let you know how the trip was. I can sum it up into one word - AWESOME! It was such an honor to be part of the wonderful work that is taking place in Ensenada, Mexico. For those that don't know, here you go...

I helped lead a team of 8 people into Ensenada, Mexico. For the majority of the team, this was their first 'over the border' mission trip.

The trip was broke down into two sections - a work project and a sports ministry. The work project primarily was moving cinder blocks down a mountain. These blocks will be used in conjunction with a 'fresh water well' that is being created for the camp and seminary called 'Rancho Agua Viva'. We moved a total of five truckloads of blocks which weighed between 30 and 40 pounds. Every did a great job and had a great attitude during this time.

Agua Viva Ministries serves the Mexican people in three ways. First, they have a camp there that many Mexican churches use (the week prior to us there was a women's conference with over 200 women). Secondly, they host missionary teams who minister in the surrounding cities and villages. And thirdly, they have a seminary which puts Mexican nationals through training and education, preparing them for full time ministry in Mexico. You can check out more at http://www.aguaviva.com/

Our other main ministry was a sports ministry in a little area called 'Colony 89'. We played soccer with the kids in the neighborhood, shared juice and 'galletas' (cookies) with them and shared our testimonies of the love and grace of Jesus Christ. On our last day we gave away complete soccer uniforms (socks, shorts and shirts), a soccer trophy and a brand new soccer ball. It was truly a beautiful moment.

I want to thank everyone for their prayers and support during this time. We experienced everything from minor injuries from intense work and 'scrolleyball' (don't ask) to a broken heart from having to leave such a beautiful community. I look forward to many more trips to Mexico and continuing the relationship that began last week.

Hey Y'all,

Sorry it's been so long, but I've been ministering in Mexico for the last week. I can't wait to give everyone an update - it was AWESOME!

GP: Hey guys! Let's go over here and get a picture with Jesus.

Someone: Yeah! We can look like the 12 disciples.

GP: Yeah, who's Judas. Ha! Ha! (no one laughs) Oh, forget it. Let's go.

(Everyone gathers around Jesus. Everyone says cheese. Everyone disperses.)

GP: That was fun wasn't it! (looking over his shoulder he reads aloud a sign painted by the statue) 'No trespassers! Stay behind the fence'. OOPS!
