I had been fishing all day, and the weather was hot. I was getting thirsty, but I knew of a hidden gem nearby.

The walk into the spring was about a mile. The  water came from deep underground and was always cold, refreshing, and safe to drink. It was worth the hike.

This time, things were different. An enterprising beaver had built a dam, and the spring was now underwater behind the dam. So much for cold. So much for refreshing. So much for safe to drink. 

Where there have been beavers around, the water is likely contaminated with Giardiasis (or beaver fever as it’s called in these parts). Beaver fever will leave you with a great deal of ugly abdominal distress for weeks and is highly contagious. It’s not the sort of thing you want to take a chance with.

The promise of the refreshing water couldn’t be delivered on.

Something similar happens with false teachers.

But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

2 Peter 2:1-3 NIV

They promise what they can’t deliver. They promise living water, but provide empty wells. They promise freedom, but deliver bondage. They promise salvation but deliver damnation.

These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. For them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved. For, speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely escaping from those who live in error. They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. 2 Peter 2:17-19

How do we know which teachings are false? By knowing what we believe and why we believe it. 

We discern it through diligent study of the Word, by examining Bible passages in context and in comparison to the Word as a whole, and by learning some solid Christian doctrine.

If you don’t know what you believe and why you believe it, then you may find yourself standing at the foot of a spoiled spring. You could be seeking living water but end up perishing of thirst instead.

Hallelu Yah / Praise God

The day’s events remain fresh in my memory. Many years  ago, Kathy and I took a summer drive to an old campground on the lake. Over the years, I had been involved in several men’s fishing retreats there, but Kathy had never been out to that lake. The facility was still there, although the province was no longer maintaining it.

We parked and walked around. To our surprise, a big old border collie came to check us out. He likely lived in one of the homes not far away. He was starved for affection and immediately adopted me. Wherever we walked, he was at my side, getting petted.

Finally, it was time for us to leave. He didn’t want to see us go. As we tried to drive away, he went into classic collie mode and tried to herd us back to our parking space. If I cut to the left, he moved in front of us to the left and then lay down. If I moved to the right, he did as well. If I tried to go straight, he went to the front of the van.

It took some time before we were able to get clear of him. He was very determined that we could be herded into staying.

His determination reminded me in a strange way of the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit never gives up on us. He wants to see us drawn into the fold with Christ and Father. He testifies to us about Jesus. He convicts us of our sin. He’s constantly at work to help us find our way to salvation.

He does all that because Father loves us and wants us to choose Him. The Apostle Peter writes of waiting for Jesus’ return.

This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles, knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God,and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you,not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 2 Peter 3:8-9

That gives me hope as I wait for His return. I have friends and family who don’t yet know Him. As much as I eagerly await His return, I long for those friends and family members to find their true freedom in Him. I know He’s on their trail and calling to them. My prayer for them is that they listen.

Until next time, rejoice that He loved you enough to track you down and herd you back to the fold. Rejoice that He’s still out there herding the lost.

Hallelu Yah / Praise God

I snapped this shot of a lone tree at sunset one evening some years ago. The tree made me think of a lone sentinel at his post.

Back in the days when Kathy and I served in the Canadian Armed Forces, we were posted to the air base in Comox, BC. Periodically, we would have “exercises,” simulations of military events such as war.

I remember one exercise where I was posted, by myself, out at the end of the runways as a sentinel. As the games progressed, the umpires at HQ declared me dead and carried on with the exercise. That was a typical move; every military exercise has simulated casualties.

The problem was that no one told me. I was out there alone, with no transport or radio. My role was promptly forgotten until the exercise ended, and I had yet to return to my regular post. At that point, the question “Where’s Kevin?’ was raised, and they began to look for me.

They found me at the end of the runway, waiting for my relief, clueless that everything had wound down some hours before. I could only leave after they arrived, as the sentry doesn’t desert his post.

Christians have a sentinel. This watchman never needs to be relieved, is always vigilant, and misses nothing. The Holy Spirit watches over us and seals us for our ultimate destiny.

My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. Psalm 121:2-4

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! The Lord looks down from heaven; he sees all the children of man; from where he sits enthroned he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, he who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds. Psalm 33:12-15

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10

Praise God that He loves us enough to keep watch.

Hallelu Yah / Praise God

This beautiful sandy cliff is at Lily Point Marine Park and Reserve in Point Roberts, Washington. It’s a pretty spot, and it’s well worth visiting that area.

The picture doesn’t show the ongoing degradation of the cliffside. The sand constantly slips towards the sea. At times, it’s tiny little streams, almost a grain at a time. Periodically, it’s in much larger chunks. We weren’t there during a storm, but I suspect storms remove even more cliff face.

As Christians, we are in a process. When we become believers, we are justified. That means our sins are atoned for, and it is the entry point to the face. You cannot be a Christian without having been justified.

Then comes the process of being made holy, more like Jesus, and set apart for Him. This is the process of Sanctification, which will last as long as we are on this earth.

Lastly, we enter into the state of glory with God and become all He created us to be. That’s glorification.

That process of sanctification can seem like a cliff face. Sometimes, God seems to chip away at our sin-filled, willful nature in tiny pieces. Other times, it feels like huge chunks are being removed.

Our Lord loves us, and because of that, he disciplines us.

Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him.For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.” It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:3-11

Being disciplined is seldom fun, but I would rather be disciplined by the Father than separated from Him for all eternity.

I am nowhere near what Jesus wants me to be, yet I am far further along the sanctification road than I once was. I’m grateful. What about you?

Praise the Lord that He loves us enough to correct and teach us.

Hallelu Yah / Praise God

It’s autumn, so it’s the rainy season here in Abbotsford.  The downpours reminded me of a weekend fishing trip many years ago.

The rain was pouring down. It wasn’t just raining cats and dogs; it was raining lions and tigers and bears (oh my!) or something much bigger. It wasn’t raining hard enough to keep me from fishing, though. It was raining so hard that the only people out were fishermen; even the die-hard golfers had long since gone home.

I had my raincoat (a big green slicker), rain pants, rubber boots, neoprene gloves, and a hat. Even that seemed to be working overtime to keep me dry. The problem was that while the gear did keep me dry, it also prevented me from experiencing much. I couldn’t feel the lures or the fish with the gloves on, so eventually, they had to come off.

The rain pants were hot, so I opted for wet legs instead. It only took a few moments before my blue jeans were soaked. The raincoat constricted my movements, and I was wet anyway, so off came the slicker.

It wasn’t too bad out after I adjusted to the cold and rain. I was much more comfortable. By the end of the weekend, I had a cold, but it was worth it.

Too often, we go through life as if we were wearing raincoats, rubber boots, and gloves. We miss out on experiencing life. We miss the touch of the world around us. We rush through life’s “rains” and miss the little joys and wonders along the way.

We miss out on God’s wonders because we’re too busy rushing or isolating ourselves from anything other than the tiny part of life we focus on.

Did you notice the neighbor’s flower garden? What about the growing and changing leaves on the trees nearby? When was the last time you listened to a bird singing? They sing even in the cities. Even pigeons will coo, making the most beautiful sounds with their wings as they fly.

Did you hear the laughter of the children playing? Did you see the joy of young love on that couple’s face as they walked by? Did you savor the smell of fresh baked goods in the donut shop?

When was the last time you slowed down enough for those things?

When was the last time you slowed down to listen to God? Did you even notice how He answered your prayers or the joy in someone else’s life as He answered theirs?

It’s time to take off the raincoats, gloves, and rubber boats and experience an extraordinary God in ordinary life.

The Bible tells us that we are without excuse for missing Him.

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. Romans 1:20

We’re called to look for Him. The psalmist put it well when He said,

My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, LORD, I will seek. Psalm 27:8 

He’s there and worth looking for and experiencing. Don’t simply take His glory and majesty for granted. Look around, see Him, hear Him and touch Him in the things He created, and give Him all the glory for them.

Hallelu Yah / Praise God

It had been a long time since I had seen a buck of  that size. He was a large, well-muscled animal with an atypical rack. It was much larger than the buck in this photo.

Even though it was hunting season, he proudly strutted from the tree line across the field. He was big and knew he was a prime catch for all the ladies. The buck seemed intent on impressing the couple of does I knew were in the area.

He knew I was there. I was upwind of him, and he stopped to catch the scents on the wind before he left the trees. He was more interested in the does than he was afraid of me.

Fortunately for him, I wasn’t hunting. This time, his hormonal focus and pride didn’t cost him his life!

Pride is a dangerous thing. Now, I’m not speaking of the sense of accomplishment that comes from a job well done. I’m talking about self-focused, rebellious pride.

Pride is at the heart of all sin. It’s pride that makes us want to be a god. It’s pride that makes us covet. Pride is at the heart of all rebellion. Pride keeps many from accepting the good news of Jesus Christ. They’re too proud to think they must humble themselves and surrender to Him.

It’s pride that makes us think we can get by on self-righteousness. Jesus had some harsh words about self-righteousness and religious pride.

He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” Luke 18:9-14

At times, we might want to say, “That’s not fair, Lord!” 

The Pharisees kept all the rules, and the tax collector was a traitor, a corrupt official, and a sinner.

Yet, the Pharisee was confident of His own righteousness and pride. He proudly stood front row, centre proclaiming how good he was. He praised God, not for being God, but for the fact that he thought he was better than anyone else. That never cuts it with God. He knows our hearts.

The tax collector was repentant and threw himself on God’s mercy. He stood off from the temple at a distance, too ashamed to even enter it or look in God’s direction. He knew that on his own merit, there was no hope. God loves a penitent sinner.

Too often, although I know better, I have a lot of the pharisee in me. I think that somehow, my feeble efforts will impress God and forget that I am saved only by His grace. I know I am not alone in that.

What are you counting on for your salvation? Are you counting on external religion and self-righteousness? If so, you will be disappointed on Judgment Day. Or are you humbly depending on having submitted yourself to Christ? In that case, Jesus has secured your eternity with him.

Until next time, may you put aside the stumbling block of pride and walk in humility with Father.

Hallelu Yah / Praise God

Sea/Beach glass

A passion that has been around for a while is gaining popularity. I’m speaking of collecting sea glass. People gather sea glass and beach glass, then either display it as is or use it in various arts and crafts. The vibrant colors make for some eye-catching displays and beautiful jewelry.

Sea glass is a shard of discarded broken glass or ceramic that the ocean has tumbled smooth and gathered on the shore. It comes in a seemingly infinite variety of colors and patterns. Beach glass is glass picked up on freshwater beaches. The terms are often used interchangeably.

Some people collect only glass pieces; others save only ceramic, and those only gather a particular color. Most people gather whatever shiny shard catches their eye, regardless of color or material. I have a couple of pieces tucked away in my boxes of shiny rocks and other treasures.

As the discarded glass gets washed about on the sea bottom, the rough edges are ground off, and the shards take on a frosted, polished look. It’s an ecologically sound way to clean up some old debris. Someone’s waste has been transformed into someone else’s treasure.

It’s a beautiful metaphor for Christianity. Broken waste transformed into exquisite jewels.

Every person is a sinner by both nature and choice. We are all broken by life and have rejected our savior. Some people have the blessing of trusting in Christ by faith, and we are transformed into children of God, precious stones in His temple.

We still have rough edges to be ground off and final polishing. God will use life to transform us, guided by the Word and the Holy Spirit.

Just as it is hard to imagine a truckload of waste or an empty bottle tossed from a boat becoming something beautiful, it is hard to imagine what God has planned for us.

 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ  1 Peter 2:4-5

It is a challenging journey at times. Like the sea glass, we are tumbled and rubbed. Sharp edges are knocked off over and over until they become smooth. Sometimes, it seems smooth sailing, and then another area needs to be worked on or more refining done, and we are knocked about again.

I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ Philippians 1:6

God will discipline and shape us until we are everything He created us to be. The master artist sees the inner beauty he made us with and removes anything else.

While we are in process, he keeps us covered with the blood of His Son. In the interim, we are polished, shaped, and made more beautiful than we can imagine. I can hardly wait for the grand unveiling in glory.

The most stunning beauty will be the Lord himself, with unique glory given to the Son. We are being shaped into individual representations of the image of the Son. We will have Christlike natures, but we will all be different.

The finished product will make every knock, rub, and abrasion worthwhile. When we see the Lord in glory, we will praise Him forever. We will be awed when we see the dazzling array of the beach glass saints. I can hardly wait to see what we will look like.

In the interim, trust Him and give Him all the glory in good times and bad.

Hallelu Yah / Praise God

We stood in the valley, and from there, we could see a vast variety of terrain: forests, mountains, and bare hills that had been burnt over twenty years or more ago. Remains of dead trees, left where they had fallen, looked for all the world like piles of forest bones. I should have taken a photo.

The sun shone brightly where we stood, although the temperature was cool. The temperature was above seasonal norms but decidedly still winter.

Looking around, the sun brightly lit some of the hills and mountains. Banks of fog were visible where we knew the river ran. One mountain was experiencing a snowstorm, while elsewhere, it was raining. The wind was blowing in some places but still in others.

We could see dozens of microclimates. I am sure the weather forecaster got it right in at least one of the areas. They would have all been in the same forecast area, but there was so much variety that he couldn’t miss whether he predicted rain, snow, or clear skies. Somewhere in our view, all of those things were there.

Strangely, that got me thinking of the church. The visible church comprises believers, people who profess faith but don’t believe, seekers, and more. God is at work in them all, no matter what they are personally going through.

Some are having carefree sunny days. Others are trying to find their way in thick fog. Still, others are in the midst of storms of varying degrees.

There are people we are friends with and others we may hardly know. There are people we get along well with, and others rub us the wrong way, and it is almost guaranteed that if we talk, we end up in disagreement.

Some exhibit tremendous spiritual fruit, while others engage in the vilest of sin. All of them are sinners; some are redeemed sinners.

Some will seemingly accept God but then walk away. Others will seemingly reject Him but later come to faith.

We can watch the external and form an opinion but we don’t see the heart. Only God truly knows those who are his.

When we get to glory, I suspect we will be shocked by who we see that is there and those we expect to see that are not there.

Jesus’ words towards the end of the Sermon on the Mount give us fair warning.

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ Matthew 7:21-23

So what are we to do? 

Firstly we concentrate on strengthening our relationship with Him through prayer and study of the Word. Then, we put into practice what we are learning. 

We practice love and forgiveness. We extend grace.  We mend broken fences. We act as ambassadors of peace. We look to correcting the sin in our lives before judging others for their sin. That doesn’t exclude restorative church discipline or speaking the truth in love.

We examine our hearts. What is there in me that the person I can’t stand brings out that God wants to free me from? Often, what we don’t like mirrors in some way what is in our own hearts.

The self-examination can be painful if we are honest. We are masters at justifying or excusing our sins. We can fool ourselves. 

It’s an ongoing process. I believe that if God showed us all of our sins at once, we would be overwhelmed and not able to cope. It would destroy us in a way.

He desires to bring us to true holiness, a process of revelation and restoration. We get one area under control, and He shows us something else.

What about those other people?  We show grace to them, but we let God fix them. The Holy Spirit dwells in all believers, but we are not someone else’s Holy Spirit.

Until next time, may you grow to appreciate the love, grace, and mercy God has shown you. While all believers are headed for the same destination, each personal journey differs. May you be merciful to them and to those who will never know the Lord.

Hallelu Yah / Praise God
