The Affirmation You Need when Struggling

wayne@waynestiles.com ( Wayne Stiles) — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 12:51:00 +0000

Part 18 - “Route 66”
Book of Job
In times of suffering, God reveals Himself to us not by answering our questions and accusations but by affirming His total control. We don’t have to understand all that goes on behind the scenes in the spiritual and moral realm of God’s plans for us. God calls us instead to trust and obey.

The Incredible Influence of One

wayne@waynestiles.com ( Wayne Stiles) — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 13:49:00 +0000

Part 17 - “Route 66”
Esther 4
Esther found herself in a place of influence, providentially placed to do what was right in a wrong-headed culture. Like Esther, we must realize that God has placed us where we are for such a time as this, and we must say and do what is right . . . even if we stand all alone.

Keep the Change

wayne@waynestiles.com ( Wayne Stiles) — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 13:46:00 +0000

Part 16 - “Route 66”
Nehemiah 10; 13
Israel’s great national return and repentance was short-lived. Once committed to changing, they failed to keep the change and backslid toward the sins that caused their original undoing. Learning from their mistakes, how can we cooperate with the Spirit of God and enjoy positive change without regression?

Pagans, Prayers, and Promises

Part 15 - “Route 66” (A message from each of the 66 books of the Bible)
Ezra 1; 1 Timothy 2:1-8
The Book of Ezra reveals that the Lord, being sovereign over all kingdoms, moved the heart of unbelieving Cyrus to fulfill God’s will. God also stirred the hearts of His people to respond and return to the Promised Land. Today, we should pray to God on behalf of unbelieving rulers so that political circumstances may become favorable for the message of the gospel . . . and the living of its commands.

God’s Tough Love

Part 14 - “Route 66” (A series with a message from each of the 66 books of the Bible)
2 Chronicles 34
Josiah’s great reforms for Israel began when he heard, as if for the first time, the Word of God. Israel’s inevitable exile was temporarily delayed because of the repentance of Josiah and Israel under him. We must renew our devotion to the Word of God, for God’s iron hand of love will draw us back to Him through discipline if we ignore the Scriptures.

The Magnitude of God’s Grace

wayne@waynestiles.com ( Wayne Stiles) — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 13:41:00 +0000

Part 13 - “Route 66” (A series with a message from each of the 66 books of the Bible)
1 Chronicles 17
The books of Chronicles, written to God’s weary people returning from exile, present a reason for hope in the Lord. In spite of all the faults of the kings from David’s line (including David himself), God will not renege on His promises to David. We too can take courage that God will fulfill His unconditional promises toward us . . . in spite of our sins. This shows the magnitude of God’s grace.

The Problems with God’s Grace

wayne@waynestiles.com ( Wayne Stiles) — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 13:40:00 +0000

Part 12 - “Route 66” (A series with a message from each of the 66 books of the Bible)
2 Kings 5
The leper Naaman initially felt insulted that all he must do to be healed was dip in the Jordan River. God’s grace often comes off as offensive to unbelievers. Gehazi, on the other hand, felt shocked that his master Elisha took no money from Naaman for his healing. So Gehazi took some money in secret and thus later suffered discipline. God’s grace has problems, as it were—offensive to unbelievers and abused by believers.

Wisdom Isn’t Enough

wayne@waynestiles.com ( Wayne Stiles) — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 12:39:00 +0000

Part 11 - “Route 66” (a series with a message from each of the 66 books of the Bible)
1 Kings 6, 9, 11 http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=6559961329458171864&postID=7515726099358635412

How could the wisest man in the world blow it so badly? Solomon told God he wanted wisdom to govern God’s people, and he received it. But he should have also asked for a heart to obey God. Solomon’s priorities reveal a man with good intentions who forsook his own advice through compromise. We should commit not only to obtaining wisdom . . . but also to applying it.

The Allure and Alloy of Adultery

wayne@waynestiles.com ( Wayne Stiles) — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:37:00 +0000

Part 10 - “Route 66” (a series with a message from each of the 66 books of the Bible)
2 Samuel 11-12

The secret sins of lust and adultery cratered the man after God’s own heart and made his walk with God miserable. The entire book of 2 Samuel pivots on one fateful evening in King David’s life. Only in repentance did David discover restoration and joy. We too should guard against the allure of adultery, for it jeopardizes our relationship with God and our joy in living.

Pressure Points

Part 9 - “Route 66” (a series with a message from each of the 66 books of the Bible)
1 Samuel 13-15

King Saul experienced pressure to disobey God from extreme circumstances, from his own pride, and from people’s desires-- all of which he responded to poorly. We can learn a lesson, as we travel back with personal interviews with King Saul, how to respond to pressure God's way.

Sweetening That Bitter Spirit

wayne@waynestiles.com ( Wayne Stiles) — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 12:35:00 +0000

Part 8 - “Route 66” (a series with a message from each of the 66 books of the Bible)
Ruth 1; 4

Bitterness blurs your vision, exaggerates your emotions, and takes a healthy, balanced perspective of life and twists it out of proportion. You can be riding along with a full tank, and bitterness will show you a gauge almost empty. How often do we beg and plead for God to give us something—a mate, a child, riches, healing—when already we may be fuller than we would be if God gave us what we wanted? Could not God’s withholding our request (which to us leaves us “empty”) actually be God giving us more than our desires?

Gideon: A Gross National Product

wayne@waynestiles.com ( Wayne Stiles) — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 12:33:00 +0000

Part 7 - “Route 66” (a series with a message from each of the 66 books of the Bible)
Judges 6:33-7:18

Gideon’s fearful heart prevented him from trusting the promise God gave about delivering Israel from the Midianites. So God uniquely worked to overcome Gideon’s deficiency and to bring him to a point of worship and faith. Only then could Gideon lead in victory. We also must face our fears and lack of trust in God’s Word and God’s power if we ever want to lead a victorious spiritual life.

Part 6 - “Route 66” (a series with a message from each of the 66 books of the Bible)
Joshua 24

After settling in the Promised Land, Joshua challenged the nation to renew their devotion to God and abandon their culture's and their ancestors' idols. He told them that everyone must “Choose today whom you will serve.” Seeing how God has faithfully worked in our lives in the past spurs us to reaffirm: “As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

A Second Chance with God

Part 5 - “Route 66” (a series with a message from each of the 66 books of the Bible)
Deuteronomy 6:1-15

Holidays remind us to remember. And as we consider our relationship with God, Moses' message to the Hebrews remains true: When you prosper, remember that it’s all of God, and when you disobey, expect the Father to exact His perfect discipline because He loves you. For Israel, conditional blessing stemmed from obedience. But for those believers in Jesus Christ, whom God has already blessed with every spiritual blessing, obedience should come as we remember our deliverance.

Part 3 - “Route 66” (a series with a message from each of the 66 books of the Bible)
Leviticus 16

The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) served as the most important day of the Hebrew calendar. This one day per year offered God’s children to regain and sustain fellowship with God—because of the death of a substitute. This practical picture points us to its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, the one through whom we have forgiveness from sins and fellowship with God today.

Genesis 3; 12:1-3; 15:1-6

Genesis demonstrates how God’s right to rule through man is challenged by the sin of man. So God, in His grace, chose to bless the whole of mankind through one man's descendants. The problem of sin is met with the promise of gracious redemption.

To Do: Fear God and Love People

wayne@waynestiles.com ( Wayne Stiles) — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 12:32:00 +0000

“To Do: Fear God and Love People” --
Matthew 22:35-39; Ecclesiastes 12:13 --
The application of the greatest command in the Bible can release us from our dependence on people. Solomon concluded after a meaningless life of chasing idols: “The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person.”

Delight in Your Powerful God

wayne@waynestiles.com ( Wayne Stiles) — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 12:31:00 +0000

“Delight in Your Powerful God” --
Isaiah 6 --
The person who fears the Lord fears nothing else. The fear of the Lord is awe, trust, devotion, and worship. We can loosen our grip on people when we grow to understand that God is more loving and more powerful than we can possibly imagine.

Big Needs and a Little God

wayne@waynestiles.com ( Wayne Stiles) — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 12:30:00 +0000

"Big Needs and a Little God" --
Matthew 6:9-13 --
We hear: "I need a vacation." "I need sex." "I need my husband to listen to me.” “I need a better job." Needs are sometimes greeds cloaked in good intentions, or at best, elevated godly desires. The Bible reveals our true needs for God and people are not often what we think. So what do you need?

When We Worship People

wayne@waynestiles.com ( Wayne Stiles) — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 12:29:00 +0000

Jeremiah 17:5-8 -- We live in a world that looks to people to fulfill what only God can give: assurance, security, and love. Whom you need you worship, and people have become our idol of choice. Jeremiah shows that such fear of man leads to desolation, but fearing God leads to life and fulfillment.

The Curse of Self-Esteem

wayne@waynestiles.com ( Wayne Stiles) — Wed, 25 Jul 2012 12:27:00 +0000

“The Curse of Self-Esteem”--
Genesis 2:25-3:11--
We usually see our low esteem as a problem between us and people, rather than between us and God. But low self-esteem usually betrays a thwarted pride. It's only when we face our nakedness before God that He covers our shame—in fact He removes it.

Your Adversary, The Devil

wayne@waynestiles.com ( Wayne Stiles) — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 12:24:00 +0000

Part 12 - “Faith in Times Like These”
- 1 Peter 5:8-14 -
The clear source of suffering is an enemy we can’t see and yet who’s on the prowl for those unprepared. So be prepared! Stand firm in your faith, knowing you’re not alone in the struggle, and the struggle is only a temporary state before an eternal glory.

Do You Have a Problem with Authority?

Part 11 - “Faith in Times Like These”
- 1 Peter 5:1-7 -
To those in authority over others, the goal is humility. To those under the authority of others, the goal is also . . . humility. God honors humility, but humbles the proud. We can choose to receive God’s grace by resisting that natural impulse of pride.

The Best Way to Suffer

wayne@waynestiles.com ( Wayne Stiles) — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 12:22:00 +0000

Part 10 - “Faith in Times Like These”
- 1 Peter 4:12-19 -
Peter argues that suffering is part of God’s plan for every believer; the variable remains how we will suffer. The best way to suffer is to rejoice in the knowledge that trials are normal, but temporary, and rejoicing at what’s eternal will cause extraordinary rejoicing in eternity. The best way to suffer as a Christian is to suffer unjustly, entrusting yourself to God—for in so doing “for the name of Christ, you are blessed.”

A Life That Kills You

Part 8 - “Faith in Times Like These”
- 1 Peter 4:1-6 -
As those who know the futility of a life of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousals, and drinking parties, we should arm ourselves with the fact that those things caused the death of Jesus Christ. That knowledge should spur us to live the rest of our days for the wonderful will of God and no longer for the enfeebling lusts of men.

Part 7 - “Faith in Times Like These”
- 1 Peter 3:13-22 -
If Christ is set apart as absolute Lord of our hearts, then we should be ready at any moment to give a reason for the hope of heaven. And once that reason is given, our good conscience and behavior—regardless of our suffering—should match the message we share. Christ exemplified this behavior of readiness amidst unjust suffering—even going so far as to proclaim, after His death, a message of victory to the damned.

Just as all believers are to submit to proper authority—even when it’s unjust—so that principle extends to the home. Peter offers practical advice to wives of unbelieving husbands, as to how excellent behavior can also be a tool through which God works on a husband’s heart. Peter also gives comfort to the weary woman who struggles with a husband who doesn’t love her.

- 1 Peter 2:11-25 -

Though citizens of a nation, in truth we are aliens and strangers in the world. And while living in the world, our behavior should reflect obedience to both governmental and vocational authority. This excellent behavior-- even when treated unjustly-- silences the unbelievers and pleases Christ who also unjustly suffered in this world.

Part 3 - “Faith in Times Like These”

- 1 Peter 1:22-2:10 -

Once the attitude of holiness has begun in an individual’s heart, he or she should display that holiness in selfless love for God’s people and in an unflagging desire for God Word. Only through Scripture will anyone grow in respect to salvation, and only through love displayed will that salvation be shared with others. Only two things last forever--God’s Word and God’s people. So love what lasts.

Anger with God

wayne@waynestiles.com ( Wayne Stiles) — Wed, 02 May 2012 12:06:00 +0000

Part 4 - “Good and Angry”
- Psalm 13 -
Anger often stems from unmet “needs,” such as a desire for respect, admiration, or affirmation. There must be a balance between legitimate needs and codependency. One major way we attempt to have these needs met is by trying to control others. The Bible gives the better alternative—freedom in choices and freedom from dependencies. (Wayne recommends The Anger Workbook by Les Carter, an essential resource used in this series.)

Luke 7:36-50 --
God’s grace is favor we didn't earn. The more we realize our sin, the more we appreciate God's grace. In truth, God's grace was bigger than you thought. When Jesus Christ died on the cross April 3, AD 33 He took all of your sins upon Himself-- all-- not most, not just the ones you confess, not just the ones that are socially acceptable, but all of your sins. The more you appreciate God's grace, the more love you show to God.
