					<description><![CDATA[Simon Peter knew fishing. It was his trade, expertise, and his comfort zone. When Jesus approached him in Luke 5, Peter had already spent a long exhausting night doing everything he knew to do – and caught nothing. Jesus told him, “…Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch” (v 4). Humanly speaking, the timing was inconvenient, the conditions were wrong, and His request made little practical sense. And Simon answered and said, “Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but at Your bidding I will let down the nets” (v5).

Obedience beyond understanding

The miracle did not happen when Peter understood; it happened when Peter obeyed. When he acted on Jesus’ word, the same nets that were empty hours before suddenly contained a great quantity of fish – so many that the nets began to break and both boats started to sink. Peter’s response was not pride in a successful catch but humility and brokenness; he fell at Jesus’ feet and confessed, “…depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!” (v8). Obedience to Christ’s word reveals both His power and our true condition. When Peter followed Jesus’ command “because He said so,” he discovered that Jesus was not just a wise teacher but the Lord over creation, over his profession, and over his future.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[ “The word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai saying, "Arise, go to Nineveh the great city, and cry against it, for their wickedness has come up before Me.”  But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. So he went down to Joppa, found a ship which was going to Tarshish, paid the fare and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.  And the Lord hurled a great wind on the sea and there was a great storm on the sea so that the ship was about to break up”  (Jonah 1:1-4).

Jonah is most associated with the whale, or huge fish, depending on your translation.   We can have a tendency to see the whale as a disciplinary measure toward Jonah.  I would argue the whale is actual a sign of God's mercy.

The account of Jonah starts very simple:  God told Jonah to “Go to Nineveh” and “cry out against it.” God told Jonah exactly where to go and what to do.  Despite direct contact from the Almighty Himself, Jonah decided to go in the opposite direction, instead boarding a ship headed to Tarshish.  That was not the correct response. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You because he trusts in You” (Isaiah 26:3).

All men desire peace in their lives.  The world defines peace as the absence of calamity and turmoil. However, as we look at the Scriptures, there is a different type of peace that the Lord offers the Christian.

For the sake of this article, we will label these two different types of peace as WORDLY PEACE and BIBLICAL PEACE

Jesus references this BIBLICAL PEACE, in John 14:27 and provides us some descriptors of this BIBLICAL PEACE when he says “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.”]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Bible has much to say about fearing God. In fact, the command to fear God is mentioned over 100 times throughout Scripture. But what does the Bible say about fearing man?

“And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28).

In 1 Samuel 15, we see an example of what happens when we fear man instead of God. In the beginning of the chapter, God gives King Saul clear instructions to “strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have” (v3). Saul was not to spare anyone or anything - no person, no animal. Saul and the army of Israel do in fact defeat Amalek, but they took King Agag alive rather than killing him and they took the best of the sheep, oxen, fattened calves, and lambs.

In v. 11, God speaks to Samuel and says that he regrets making Saul king because “he has turned back from following me and has not performed my commandments.” When Samuel confronts Saul the next day, Saul speaks first and says that he has performed the commandment of the Lord. When Samuel questions him, Saul defends his actions by saying that it was so they could offer sacrifices to God. Samuel reiterates the clear command that God gave to Saul - destroy everything. Once again, Saul then defends his actions as to why he did not obey God’s instructions.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA["It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life “(John 6:63).

God has structured our existence with two lives:  1) the one that finds our hope in what we see, feel and experience in this lifetime and 2) the life of the Spirit, one characterized by a hope in the unseen. 

The first is a temporary hope because all that is seen eventually vanishes or rots away.  As a result, it is a hope that cannot be fulfilled.  Ironically, it is embraced and encouraged by the world and claims to reward those that seek it.  

It has an end.  It is dead (spiritually).  It leads to death (physically).  It is used by Satan to entice us and to deceive us.  It seems right but does not satisfy—It leaves us always wanting more.

 “There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death” (Proverbs 14:12).

In the end, this temporal life disappoints.  It is empty, void of any legitimate hope and meaningful purpose.   Ecclesiastes describes it as vanity, it is like a wasteland.  It promises much, but delivers only enough to keep you pursuing. ]]></description>
