Faded Glory

Today on The Fireside Bookshelf, Ginger Green explores Faded Glory by Maurice Lednicky.

Today, Bible-believing followers of Jesus are appalled and horrified at the immoral (perhaps amoral) standard that is commonly accepted in our culture. Is the guileless agenda of TV, movies, and music simply coincidental? Are the blatant attacks against those who have a strong commitment of faith isolated acts of the few extremists? Maurice Lednicky doesn’t think so.
In today’s feature, Faded Glory: The Church in a Cultural Crisis, Lednicky insightfully addresses the impact of cultural attitudes and behavior the church has embraced in recent years.

At issue is the manner in which the church has allowed itself to be influenced by culture. There can be no doubt that we are in a serious cultural crisis and that the church of Jesus Christ is in the crosshair of the enemy’s biggest weapon.

So come be a part, as Maurice Lednicky reveals how to properly go about evaluating cultural mores without compromising our faith.

“My grace is sufficient for you; for My strength is made perfect in weakness” 2 Cor. 12:9

In response to Paul’s cry for relief from his infirmities, Jesus assures him that the grace he receives is sufficient. This same grace is given to us and is still sufficient for anything we may face.

It is the relationship with Jesus Christ Himself that supplies the assurance. We will not find the solution to all our problems in the teachings, the traditions, and rituals of the denominations. We won’t find it in busying ourselves with service or burying it in acts of good deeds.

Jesus Christ is the answer to all our problems and how amazing it would be if we could all respond as Paul did; “Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong” 2 Cor. 12:9-10.

Praying Forward

“Pray without ceasing” 1 Thess. 5:17

We live in this world of time and space, in weak vulnerable bodies, that struggles with fears, anxieties, failures, and loss. But, God lives outside of time and space in the eternal and it is through prayer that we connect with Him.

Today we are discussion prayer’s ability to travel outside of time and space, and the impact our prayers have on the present and future.

So we invite you to join in the conversation as we discover the gift of praying forward.

The Incredible Patience of God – Part 2

This week on Sharin’ Hearts: The Fireside Bookshelf, Ginger Green continues to dig through “The Incredible Patience of God” by Lane Adams.

Tragically, many Christians spend most of their life in a build-up process and never break out.  Don’t let this be you!

It is appalling that so often the church has become the guardian of the status quo, all the while preaching a gospel of never-ending change. What an irony this is!

If you want to know how to guard against never breaking out… If you want to know how to navigate the long road to spiritual maturity and avoid some of the common pitfalls… If you want to take a detailed look at the apostle Paul’s life- a prime example of this crucial process…

If you want to find hope and reassurance that a closer relationship with God is possible … Then I hope you’ll join us as we seek out the answers found in The Incredible Patience of God.

Steadfast in the Lord’s Love

“I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father: and I lay down My life for the sheep” John 10: 14-15

The Lord’s steadfast love for us is seen in that He has laid down His life for us.

He asks us to draw close, to hear His voice, and know Him.

As His sheep, we have the privilege to encourage each other in songs, hymns and spiritual songs. We are commanded to help one another with accountability and in warnings from love.

At the same time we must be willing to allow others to help us where we might be blind or so wrapped up in pain that we can’t see the cliff in front of us.

Caring for others in steadfast love the way the Lord has so tenderly cared for us is how His love is seen by others.

Attitudes of the Mind

“Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself” Philippians 2:3.

This verse describe an attitude of love in humility that we can use as a guide to measure our own attitude.

The scriptures go on to say in verse five, “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.”

Often times the attitude of selfishness prevents us from seeking to let the mind of Christ be in us.

So we invite you to join in the conversation as we uncover attitudes of the mind.
