a family on mission a family on mission pages blog about our family about our mission partnership monday december 5 my honest thoughts today lord i sit here at home this morning burdened greatly by all that s going on around me i run to you thank you for the hope i just read in isaiah 59 v 9 says we hope for light and behold darkness and for brightness but we walk in gloom i m feeling that today we grope for the wall like the blind we grope like those who have no eyes god i can t see what s ahead i worry and sit in fear i confess that v 15 is so full of hope the lord saw it and it displeased him that there was no justice he saw that there was no man and wondered that there was no one to intercede then his own arm brought him salvation and his righteousness upheld him he put on righteousness as a breastplate and a helmet of salvation on his head he put on garments of vengeance for clothing and wrapped himself in zeal as a cloak this is the lord s covenant my spirit will come upon you lord i praise you for putting on zeal in such an extravagant way that hope might be brought to my life today i rest in this covenant praise you god posted by dave at 12 13 pm 1 comment labels hope journal thursday may 5 thoughts on rest and vacation tomorrow morning danielle and i are heading to mexico for 5 nights of vacation with a bunch of our good friends i m excited about a lot of things but what i m really excited about is just chillin limited internet no texting just chilling on the beach with my bride and our friends my personality is a worker i make to do lists and don t really do a very good job of sitting down and resting my goal this vacation is to rest but i want to do it very carefully my mind goes to the writer of hebrews where in the third and fourth chapters he describes salvation as an entry into the lord s rest that is a very interesting wording i think what it s trying to communicate is that apart from christ there is no such thing as true rest don t get me wrong people rest they go on vacation take breaks etc but that doesn t speak to the problem of the unrest in the human soul left to ourselves we are broken and bent to sin we don t naturally live for god but for ourselves we work so hard to clean ourselves up be presentable some even do it with the goal of trying to make god happy yet apart from the redemptive work of god we will remain in our exhausted busy broken and selfish unrest all the while continually looking to the next thing in the hopes that it brings us the rest that only jesus can fulfill so whether we are going on vacation taking a day off or just sitting down to rest it must flow out of and be saturated with jesus left to ourselves our own agendas our own thinking even our own naps we will remain in our brokenness and miss the eternal rest that can only comes from the savior with that being said i m looking forward to resting in him this next week posted by dave at 3 51 pm no comments labels rest vacation wednesday march 9 gospel in life our leadership at north church has been going through tim keller s study gospel in life it has be very transformational we will be rolling it out church wide in april i commend this study to you you can always join us at north church to experience it as well it will transform your view of christianity and the gospel trailer for gospel in life from redeemer city to city on vimeo posted by dave at 8 10 pm no comments labels discipleship gospel thursday february 17 a pitiful hope recently i ve been consumed with weighty conversations and news that s left me extremely burdened 1 a girl crushed after her boyfriend broke up with her inspite of the promise ring he gave her 2 a 14 yr old and his family who continue to grieve losing their teenage brother son friend 10 months ago 3 a precious saint who was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and given 2 weeks to 3 months to live 4 a couple who found out their unborn baby has a 50 50 chance of being born with a disease 5 a couple who lost their co joined unborn twins 6 my mother who is in remission from cancer has been undergoing tests for pain and hearing loss 7 a friend who just went through a divorce 8 i just had my car broken into and macbook pro stolen all of these situations mentioned are being experienced by brothers and sisters in christ with the weightiness of them all i m remined of the following scripture 1 corinthians 15 19 esv 19 if in christ we have hope in this life only we are of all people most to be pitied where is your hope if you are banking on this life it s guaranteed to go bad read the above situations again don t pursue a pitiful hope look to our eternal god who had given us an eternal inheritance that will not fade away posted by dave at 8 51 pm no comments

named robert murray m cheyne wrote a letter to his congregation he said my dear flock the approach of another year stirs up within me new desires for your salvation and for the growth of those of you who are saved god is my record how greatly i long after you all in the bowels of jesus christ what the coming year is to bring forth who can tell those believers will stand firmest who have no dependence upon self or upon creatures but upon jehovah our righteousness we must be driven more to our bibles and to the mercy seat if we are to stand in the evil day then we shall be able to say like david the proud have had me greatly in derision yet have i not declined from thy law princes have persecuted me without a cause but my heart standeth in awe of thy word it has long been in my mind to prepare a scheme of scripture reading in which as many as were made willing by god might agree so that the whole bible might be read once by you in the year and all might be feeding in the same portion of the green pasture at the same time d a carson provides a great resource to help us understand the bible as we read it this is the resource i will be using vol 1 of for the love of god and doing the reading plan over 2 years why i chose this option it s available for free online it gives a small portion of commentary on a large portion of scripture rather than the opposite like many devotionals carson is a brilliant expositor of scripture and many times i walking away from reading wondering what exactly i just read carson s commentary will help with that during year 2 i will use vol 2 of his book this plan follows m cheyne s reading plan that has you read in 4 different places of the bible each day however i will be only reading 2 and then picking up the other 2 in the second year to help keep up the resource is further explained and available free in pdf format here may you press into the lord in 2011 in ways you never have before and may you never be the same pursuing him with you dave posted by dave at 9 31 am no comments thursday december 9 a friendly rebuke yesterday we had an unplanned visit from some good friends of ours who needed to borrow our car during their time at our house we had some very god ordained conversation which basically consisted of them calling us out on some things their biggest concern was that we had been neglecting to walk out some very specific things the lord spoke into our life about a year ago their challenge was filled with love and encouragement yet stern and truth filled if i could sum up their words it would come from acts 4 29 we must obey god rather than men lately in many ways i have been obeying man i have been more concerned with how people view me and my ministry instead of knowing my acceptance in christ and being freed up to not be concerned with man s thoughts toward me the apostles in this passage were able to walk in massive amounts of obedience because their focus was on the greatness of their god and his mission for their life and not on those around them namely the religious authorities who were telling them not to preach the gospel i believe part of the answer to this problem of living to please man is found in acts 4 32 and we are witnesses to these things and so is the holy spirit whom god has given to those who obey him what is it that enabled the apostles to endure the abuse and opposition of man they were fully engaged in the spirit to the point where even to consider obeying man and not living out christ s mission was not even on their minds why because their minds were full of the lord and their spirit the holy spirit was filled with his power to walk out god s calling on them questions to consider 1 who is speaking truth into your life 2 are you allowing them to walk with you in what obedience looks like 3 is your focus on your abilities inabilities or his ever enabling spirit 4 what s keeping you from walking in obedience surrendering with you dave
