| Erase “Impossible” from Your Vocabulary (A Lesson from Joshua) Posted: 29 Oct 2012 07:11 AM PDT A high-stakes moment in the life of Joshua shows us that when we’re on God’s side, nothing is impossible. This is an excerpt from Lysa TerKeurst’s book Unglued: Making Wise Choices in the Midst of Raw Emotions. If ever there were a moment for Joshua to feel overwhelmed at facing a situation totally out of his control, [the siege of Jericho] would have been it. The plan was crazy. Short of a miraculous intervention from God, it wouldn't work. Joshua would be shamed. His people would be defeated. And to those who didn't believe, the God of Israel would be revealed as nothing more than a figment of Joshua's overactive imagination. Talk about pressure. But this is all part of the story with which you're probably familiar. Where's the little part that's less known? … It's at the end of Joshua 5 when Joshua goes out to look at the walls before receiving his marching orders from the Lord. There he is. And there the wall is. Joshua’s challengeDespite Joshua's long military experience, he had never led an attack on a fortified city that was so well prepared for a long siege. In fact, of all the walled cities in Canaan, Jericho was probably the most invincible. There was also the question of armaments. Israel's army had no siege engines, no battering rams, and no catapults. Their only weapons were slingshots, arrows, and spears — which were like straw toys against the walls of Jericho. Yet Joshua knew the battle of Jericho must be won because, having crossed the Jordan River, Israel's troops had no place to which they could retreat. Further, they could not bypass the city because that would leave their women, children, animals, and goods at Gilgal vulnerable to certain destruction. Pondering these heavy thoughts, Joshua is suddenly confronted by a man with a drawn sword. Scripture reveals that this is no mere human but "the commander of the army of the Lord" (Joshua 5:14). God's presence in human form. Seeing that the man is ready for battle, Joshua asked, "Are you for us or for our enemies?" (Joshua 5:13). Wrapped in this question we see a hesitancy in Joshua — a peek inside his thought life — a need for reassurance. Such an honest question, but one that makes me feel Joshua isn't walking in complete confidence and assurance. If he were, he wouldn't have asked. But he did. And this is where we assume that, of course God's presence will answer, "Joshua, I am with you, for you, and on your side!" But we would assume wrong. When asked, "Are you for us or for our enemies?" the presence of God says, "Neither." Why?
The crucial questionBecause Joshua has asked the wrong question of the wrong person. The question that needed to be asked and answered wasn't whose side God was on. The real question was one Joshua should have asked himself: "Whose side am I on?" The same goes for us. When faced with a situation out of our control, we need to ask, "Whose side am I on?" Will our response reflect that we are on God's side or not? If we determine that, no matter what, we're on God's side, it settles the trust issue in our hearts. And if we ground ourselves in the reality that we trust God, we can face circumstances that are out of our control without acting out of control. We can't always fix our circumstances, but we can fix our minds on God. We can do that. Joshua did it. [See Joshua 6:13-16.] The walls of Jericho came crashing down. They were impossible no more. I like the thought of impossible being erased from my vocabulary. Especially when it comes to my struggles with feeling unglued. I am on God's side. I can reflect that in my actions and reactions. I can face things out of my control without acting out of control. -From Unglued by Lysa TerKeurst (@LysaTerKeurst)

| Trying to Overcome Raw Emotions? The Secret of Imperfect Progress Posted: 26 Oct 2012 08:31 AM PDT In the aftermath of a “tirade” over missing towels, Lysa TerKeurst reflects on her struggle with raw emotions, then shares an insight that gave her new hope. This is an excerpt from Unglued: Making Wise Choices in the Midst of Raw Emotions. I’m sad because of the way I acted today. I’m disappointed in my lack of self-control. I’m sad that I accused my girls when later I found the towels in my son’s room. Go figure. And the more I relive my towel tirade, the more my brain refuses sleep… What is my problem? Why can’t I seem to control my reactions? I stuff. I explode. And I don’t know how to get a handle on this. But God help me if I don’t get a handle on this. I will destroy the relationships I value most and weave into my life permanent threads of short-temperedness, shame, fear, and frustration. Is that what I really want? Do I want my headstone to read, “Well, on the days she was nice she was really nice. But on the days she wasn’t, rest assured, hell hath no fury like the woman who lies beneath the ground right here”? No. That’s not what I want. Not at all. I don’t want the script of my life to be written that way. So, at 2:08 a.m., I vow to do better tomorrow. But better proves elusive, and my vow wears thin in the face of daily annoyances and other unpleasant realities. Tears slip and I’m worn out from trying. Always trying. So who says emotions aren’t bad? I feel like mine are. I feel broken. Unglued, actually… I know what it’s like to praise God one minute and in the next minute yell and scream at my child — and then to feel both the burden of my destructive behavior and the shame of my powerlessness to stop it. I also know what it’s like to be on the receiving end of unglued behavior… And the emotional demands keep on coming. Unrelenting insecurity. Wondering if anyone appreciates me. Feeling tired, stressed, hormonal. Feeling unglued is really all I’ve ever known. And I’m starting to wonder if maybe it’s all I’ll ever be. Those were the defeating thoughts I couldn’t escape. Maybe you can relate. If you relate to my hurt, I pray you will also relate to my hope.
The hope of imperfect progressWhat kept me from making changes was the feeling that I wouldn’t do it perfectly. I knew I’d still mess up and the changes wouldn’t come instantly. Sometimes we girls think if we don’t make instant progress, then real change isn’t coming. But that’s not so. There is a beautiful reality called imperfect progress. The day I realized the glorious hope of this kind of imperfect change is the day I gave myself permission to believe I really could be different. Imperfect changes are slow steps of progress wrapped in grace … imperfect progress. And good heavens, I need lots of that. So, I dared to write this in my journal: Progress. Just make progress. It’s okay to have setbacks and the need for do-overs. It’s okay to draw a line in the sand and start over again — and again. Just make sure you’re moving the line forward. Move forward. Take baby steps, but at least take steps that keep you from being stuck. Then change will come. And it will be good. Unglued is about my imperfect progress — a rewrite for the ongoing script of my life and a do-over of sorts for my raw emotions. Imperfect changes are slow steps of progress wrapped in grace … imperfect progress. It’s an honest admission that this struggle of reining in how I react has been hard for me. But hard doesn’t mean impossible… Might all this struggle with our raw emotions and unglued feelings have … potential for new life and new strength? I think so. I know so. I’ve seen so. -From Unglued by Lysa TerKeurst (@LysaTerKeurst)

| Let It Go Small Group Bible Study by Karen Ehman Posted: 26 Oct 2012 05:49 AM PDT
Let It Go, Karen’s new small group study, is a six-session video-based study giving women practical, biblically based steps for letting go of the need to control, dictate, and even manipulate the people and situations around them, and instead, trust that God has their best interests in mind. Here is Karen talking about the study: |

| Posted: 24 Oct 2012 03:00 AM PDT Each week, we will post some specific ways that we can be praying together for our brothers and sisters around the world who are actively sharing in Christ's suffering through persecution. Take some time to lift the believers in each of these regions before our Father in heaven. At the same time, pray for those enacting the persecution to be kindly drawn to repentance and to experience new life through faith in Jesus. IN CUBA Cuba has long been a place of oppression for Christians. However, since the government declared it a “secularist” country instead of an “atheist” one about 20 years ago, tolerance for Christianity and Christian churches has greatly increased. As a result, the church in Cuba has experienced growth. Yet despite some improvements, as Christians living there can testify, persecution is still all too present. The nature of the persecution has changed, but it is still there. According to a Christian worker in the country, Cuban pastors describe their persecutors as “an enemy without a face.” This “discreet” persecution was highlighted in a recent Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) news story entitled “The Faceless Enemy.” Many of the examples VOM cites come from a man who has pastored in Cuba for the past 35 years. Being a pastor there for over three decades, “he has been interrogated 20 times, and humiliated, beaten, and threatened.” And while less obvious than interrogations or physical beatings, he still faces much persecution for being a Christian there. Here are some actual examples of the type of thing he now faces. A malicious neighbor has been working toward getting the church kicked out of the neighborhood. He is unable to easily procure enough Bibles for his congregation without supporting the socialist revolution and Cuban state (which he refuses to do). Government officials have threatened to take the land away from his church and replace it with a store. There are more, and under the weight of years of mistreatment and oppression, the pastor suffers from stress-related health problems. His response when asked if he’d like to leave Cuba? “I desire it with all my heart.” He does not end there, though. He obediently continues, “But I’m waiting for God’s direction. When he says go, I’ll go. But for now I’m working for the Lord with all my heart.” PRAY
“But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.” – 1 Peter 4:13 Information for this post was gathered from VOM. |

| This Story Is a Mirror (Jesus and the Woman Taken in Adultery) Posted: 19 Oct 2012 06:49 AM PDT (Excerpt from Warren Wiersbe’s Life Sentences: What Sentence Will Sum Up Your Life?) How we respond to the account of the woman caught in adultery helps us better understand our own character. The secret sinner who dwells on such things longs for more details or supplies them from his or her own imagination. The legalist is disappointed that Jesus didn't recommend capital punishment. But the believer who has experienced the grace of God gives thanks that there is forgiveness with the Lord. We don’t have to commit this particular sin to know how gracious and merciful the Lord is. “Then neither do I condemn you… Go now and leave your life of sin” (John 8:11). If you have ever heard those words spoken to your own heart, then you will want others to hear them too. You want them to be able to say from their hearts, “The Lord is my light and my salvation.” A trap for JesusThe scribes and Pharisees had plotted the bringing of the woman to Jesus, hoping to trap Him. If He forgave the woman, then He broke the law of Moses and was in trouble with the Jews. If He condemned her to be stoned, then He was in trouble with the Romans who alone could execute condemned offenders. They must have planned the trap carefully; how could they have caught her "in the very act" unless they had been waiting for it to happen? But where was the man with whom she had sinned? The law required both parties to be judged (Lev. 20:10; Deut. 22:22). Four different lights are shining in this passage, the most important one being Jesus Himself, the Light of the World. Light #1: CreationIt was daybreak, and Jesus was in the temple teaching the people. The scribes and Pharisees interrupted His ministry by thrusting the woman before Him and demanding an immediate answer. How rude can hypocritical religious leaders get?
Creation reveals that there is a God who is powerful enough to make the earth, wise enough to plan and sustain it, and good enough to use it for the benefit of all who live. ["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 people are without excuse." -Rom. 1:20 NIV] But the God of creation, with all His wisdom, glory, and power, can never forgive people or rescue them from judgment unless He deals with sin. When Paul addressed the Greek intellectuals on Mars Hill, he began with creation but ended with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Acts 17:27–32). The scientist can study creation and never meet the true and living God. The artist can admire it and the pantheist worship it, but creation itself offers no remedy for the guilty sinner. Light #2. The commandmentsThe accusers knew the law of God; they had spent their lives reading it, studying it, and discussing it. They could say, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path" and "The unfolding of your words gives light" (Ps. 119:105, 130). They agreed with Solomon: "For these commands are a lamp, this teaching is a light" (Prov. 6:23). What nation had a greater law than Israel? … The woman didn't stand a chance… The only person ever to walk on this earth and perfectly obey the law of God was Jesus Christ, and of ourselves, we can't imitate Him. The law of God is like a mirror that reveals our blemishes but can't remove them (James 1:23 – 25). (Did you ever use a mirror to wash your face?) “Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin" (Rom. 3:20 NKJV). Twice during this confrontation, Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger. This should have reminded the accusers that the law was written “by the finger of God” (Ex. 31:18) and that they too would one day be judged. Perhaps some of them remembered Jeremiah 17:13, “Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust because they have forsaken the Lord.” If your name isn’t written in the Lamb's Book of Life, it is written in the dust and will disappear. Light #3: ConscienceThe fact that Jesus said nothing encouraged the religious leaders to press Him even further, because they were sure they had Him cornered. Then He stood up and said, “If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her” (John 8:7; see Deut. 22:22 – 24). He wasn't accusing them of being adulterers; He was simply reminding them that they were sinners and perhaps had occasionally committed this same sin in their hearts (Matt. 5:27 – 30)… Our Lord's words don't imply that every judge or juror must be perfect in order to try another person, but only that our motives for judging and condemning are right. Their motives were sinful; therefore they had no right to condemn her. Conscience is not the law of God. Conscience is the window that lets in the light of God's law and helps us to know right from wrong… If the “conscience window” gets dirty because of our deliberate disobedience, then the light within gets dimmer, and conscience no longer accuses us… Conscience could not help this woman. It could accuse but never forgive or wash away sin. Light #4: Jesus ChristUltimately, sinners must be left alone with Jesus Christ, the Light of the World, for He is their only hope… Jesus is to believers what the sun is to our universe — the center of our universe and the source of life and light for all that lives. God gave a pillar of fire to give light to Israel, but He gave Jesus Christ to bring life to all who believe. He is the light of the world, and His gift of salvation is available for all. He came to save the world, not to condemn it (John 3:16 – 21). To reject Him is to walk in darkness; to follow Him is to enjoy the light of life. It must have thrilled the woman's heart to hear Jesus say, “Then neither do I condemn you” (John 8:11). Our assurance of forgiveness isn't in our feelings or the words of some religious leader, but in the Word of the Lord. But God's forgiveness brings with it the obligation to seek to obey the Lord and follow Him. We aren't saved by our obedience, but our obedience proves that we have been saved. The New International Version gives the impression in verse 11 that the woman had lived "a life of sin," but the Greek text simply reads, "Go, from now no longer sin." Whatever her past life had been, she was now forgiven. God said, "Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more" (Heb. 10:17). -From Life Sentences by Warren W.

| Posted: 18 Oct 2012 08:43 AM PDT We’re tempted to think our fears are useful, that they protect us from harm. Instead, fear does us more harm than good, as we see in this wise excerpt from Christine Caine’s Undaunted: Daring to do what God Calls You to Do. Everyone fears something. Muggers lurking in dark alleyways. Losing your wallet — or, worse, your job, leaving you penniless. Automobile or airplane crashes… The sting of a poisonous insect. The ridicule of hecklers when speaking publicly. Rejection or disinterest upon meeting new people. Losing a child. Being abandoned by a loved one. Some of us fear failing. Others fear success… Whether fear is subdued or strong, rational or irrational, the danger real or imagined, fear will always try to stop you, trip you up, and put your life on hold. Sometimes, just thinking about your fears can paralyze you. Fear makes you miss out on the best in lifeWhen you allow fear to dictate how you spend your days, you allow life to pass you by.
You can't walk up a steep hill to see a beautiful sunset because of your fear of heights. You can't bring yourself to go to the party because of your fear of crowds. You don't join that Bible study because you fear having to read aloud after you were taunted for doing so long ago in school. You keep to yourself because you fear people will ridicule your size. You struggle with food for fear you'll gain weight. You don't date because you fear being rejected. You're so terrified of spiders and bugs that you've never ventured to dig in the soil and plant that vegetable or flower garden of your dreams. You go along with a decision at work that you don't believe in because you fear speaking up will set you at odds with the team or cost a promotion. You avoid commitments outside your home because you're afraid if you aren't with your teenager all of the time he or she might get involved in the wrong crowd. You marry the first person who asks you because you fear no one else ever will. You sleep with someone you're not married to because you fear that unless you do, he or she will leave you and you'll be alone. When you let fear run your life, you close yourself off from anything that might hurt or cost or make you uncomfortable — including opportunities to serve God and claim his promises. God calls you to serve with just what you have and just who you are — but because of fear of rejection, the homeless person on the street never receives the hope you were created to give. You don't allow yourself to consider the mission trip you would love to participate in because you fear the unknown in a faraway land. The victim of trafficking stays bound, never experiencing the freedom you could have made possible. Your neighbor dies alone, never receiving your visit. The mother at your son's football practice continues to drink every night because she has no one to talk to about her marriage problems. You languish alone and broken, unfulfilled, never experiencing what you alone were made to do — simply because of fear. "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy," Jesus warned (John 10:10). Fear is a thief like that. But, Jesus went on to promise, "I have come that they may have life, and have To the full. -From Undaunted by Christine Caine (@ChristineCaine)
