God, Government and the Blame Game

March 7th, 2010 Jojo Agot

Sunday morning. Today we will finish the last part of the God and Government sermon series in church. I’m quite excited about the message today. The past few weeks’ messages were very challenging and my expectations for what God is going to reveal today is high.

The message last Sunday struck me hard. I’ve known about three types of government many years ago, I even preached that topic in my previous church. In my mind, they are in this particular order: family government, church government and civil government.

The Things That Choke Us

March 6th, 2010 Jojo Agot

Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. Mark 4: 18-19

I just got this insightful devotional from Charles Swindoll’s Day by Day Series in my inbox today. It’s about the parable of the sower in Mark 4 and how the hearers of the word were classified into four kinds of people. The first two groups were those who heard the truth but basically weren’t affected by it. The third and fourth groups were very interesting. Both heard the gospel, both were changed, but the third group’s conversion was short lived. These people reverted back to their old way of life.

I was reading Rick Warren’s Ministry Toolbox blog a while ago and was struck with this verse he quoted. It was about the rich young ruler who came to Jesus looking for advise on what he should do to inherit eternal life.

Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Mark 10: 21

Finding Your Purpose

January 19th, 2010 Jojo Agot

“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.’”

Estimating God

January 17th, 2010 Jojo Agot

Many Christians estimate difficulty in the light of their own resources, and thus they attempt very little, and they always fail. All giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on his power and his presence to be with them.
