Just had to share this… My husband is retired military in his second career as a teacher. He is 6’ tall, bald, tattooed and teaches first grade! Recently “David,” who was filling in for the janitor, approached him and wanted to talk.

My husband, Jon, is very open about his faith and loves to share about the grace of Jesus Christ in his life. He claims that he is the poster child for “Forgiven… not Perfect!”

David told Jon that a while back he decided to start reading through the Bible. He began in Genesis and was now almost through with the Old Testament, but he wanted to talk about the Law. His question for Jon was about his bald head. David hemmed and hawed around the Law for a while and then blurted out that Jon was dishonoring God by shaving his head.

Jon smiled and briefly explained about the Old and New Testaments. He shared how the law is there to remind us that we are in desperate need of grace and a Savior.

David began to argue about the Law.

(Now, I need to insert here that if this had been me in the conversation. I would have begun a theological dialogue on the fine points of law vs. grace and taken this man on a tour through Romans, Galatians and Hebrews. That is most likely why the Holy Spirit led David to Jon and not to Robyne).

My husband listened and then encouraged David with these words, “Buddy, I am glad that God has used the Old Testament to show you how we can fall short of the Law; but I want to encourage you to keep reading that book…you’re just getting to the good part.”

Wow. How profound. No argument. No answers. No flip chart with colored markers. Just an encouragement to keep reading the Bible. Okay God… I get this one. We don’t always need to have the answers. We simply need to point people in the right direction!

I knew there was a good reason I married that man.

Have you read “the good part” lately?

Ministry requires spunk. On occasion, women’s ministry demands a double-dose. Just wondering, do you ever feel like this…?

• Too tired to cross the street…
• Can’t get a moments rest because someone is in a hurry or has a horn to toot…
• The only thing that helps is to let go of some hot air and keep on walking…

If you ever feel like that, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too. Recently.

You’ve got to love this lady. She must be on her way to Bible study!

Compassion was a distinguishing mark of Jesus’ ministry. This would have been a significant diversion from the religious leaders of the day who were more concerned about minding their Pharisaic p’s and q’s than they were with hungry masses, wayward women or the blind, lame, leprous and poor among them. To the Pharisess, Saducees, teachers of the law and the High Priest, these were people to be shunned, ignored and avoided.

Not to Jesus. Wayward women followed Him around and gave financial support to His work. He befriended tax collectors, zealouts and fisherman. He ate with sinners and celebrated with drunks. He hung out in the seedy part of town and only got His ire up when confronted by those clad with false piety. Scripture says that when Jesus saw hungry people, He had compassion on them. When He saw sick people, He had compassion on them. When He saw a crowd of people who needed divine guidance, He had compassion on them.

I’ve passed by far too many street people while clinging to a recently discovered five dollar bill in my coat pocket and refused to give it to someone in need because they might use it to make yet another poor choice. I’ve looked down my nose at too many who were less fortunate than me without ever considering that I might have been blessed in order to be a blessing to them. For much too long, I’ve not given a second thought to suffering people, poor people, needy people, hurting, lost, desperate, dying people. You know, I have a lot to do. I need to wash my car and fill my pantry and dust my flat panel tv.

Pathetic. No. Excuse. Period.

God is changing all that. For the past several years, He’s been prying my eyes open no matter how hard I try to squeeze them shut. He pries. It hurts. Mostly, it hurts because I know my eyes should be opened. It’s just easier to keep them closed. Sure, it’s dark, but it’s comfortable. And easy. And empty.

Yesterday’s message at church took us to Acts 3:1-10 where a lame man looks at Peter and John and asks for what he thinks he needs: money. Peter and John both look at him. Then Peter commands him in the name of Jesus to get up and walk and reaches out a hand to help them man to his feet. The man not only stands but leaps around the temple gate in utter delight over legs he’d never considered using. He praises God and the people are amazed. 2,000 people place their faith in Christ.

The hang up in this story is that Peter performed a bona fide miracle on behalf of this crippled man, and it’s easy enough for us to dismiss our personal connection to the whole thing because we get lost in the miracle. Our Senior Pastor, Randy Frazee, so beautifully helped us see beyond the miracle by taking a closer look at Peter’s example. He pointed out three things that any of us can do:

• Look them in the eyes. Acknowledge them. Give them your attention. Look at them with eyes of compassion, and you will see an eternal soul whose life has intersected with yours.
• Pray for them in Jesus’ name. That’s where the action is found. Jesus’ name truly is the name above all names, and anything good I might have to offer to someone else is because of Him.
• Extend a helping hand. Get involved. Get in the middle of people who are hurting to let them know you really care. It will make all the difference in the world.

Our family spent a good deal of time talking about this message this afternoon and considered our response. Then later in the day we joined with some of our dearest friends to do help pack boxes of food to feed the hungry who live right here in San Antonio…one out of four children in our city goes to bed hungry every night. This seems a fitting way to have ended our day together as we take steps to shine the light of compassion into the darkest corners of our world. Here are some pictures of our food packing assembly line. This is how we started off our Sunday evening Life Group meeting…followed by a Bible study on, you guessed it, the healing of the lame man in Acts 3.

(1) The masterminds: Cliff & Bill; (2) The food: May those who eat it find life that is truly life

(3) The assembly line: The finest group of food box packers I know; (4) My job: Tuna, 4 cans per box

(5) My lovely assistants: I’m going to be in trouble for posting this; (5) The boxes: All packed up and shrink wrapped by my man

We plan to pack between 1,500 and 2,000 of these boxes as we help our church collect and distribute 10,000 of them by the end of October. This is a large effort, but we’re equally thrilled to hear about smaller efforts that are equally significant. One newly married couple has packed a box for themselves and will eat only what is in that box for dinner for two weeks so they can save money to pack more boxes that will distributed around our city.

I love doing work like this. I love sharing it with my family. I love dreaming and praying about what God will do with it all. And we’ve only just begun…to be continued.

You’ve probably heard the story behind the favored old hymn, It is Well. Horatio Spafford’s lyrics inspire us still because they are part of a larger story. Knowing the bigger story gives context and new meaning.

The song God of this City took up a place in my soul the very first time I heard it. It’s words are true, but their reality is not always evident, though I long for the world to know the God who reigns without politics, polls or pundits. So, if you’re tired of the news (it’s depressing) or sick of feeling helpless (it’s tiring) or just need a moment to look into eternity’s story, click on the video below and remember when God asked, “Is anything to hard for the Lord?” (Gen. 18:14)

What about your city? Is anything too hard for the Lord?

A couple of weeks ago Jennifer posted a terrific video called Hungry? about her thoughts on the way she delights in food compared to the way she delights in God’s Word. I’m thinking that God is up to something here because there seems to be a lot of talk lately about the connection between our food and our faith. Here’s what I mean…

• We posted the Hungry? video on September 2 and began getting feedback (sorry for the pun) from women who resonated with the message.
• We also learned that our friend, Marnie Swedberg, has just published Eating with God, a 31-day challenge to assess what you eat with a spiritual mindset.
• Last week, our family packed food paks, each of which will provide a meal for a family of four for one week. Our church, Oak Hills Church, has set a goal to provide 10,000 of these food paks to our city in partnership with the Children’s Hunger Fund.
• Later in the week, we learned from a dear friend that his family is putting up the cash to fill 1,000 more of these boxes, and we’ve been invited to join them by rallying friends and neighbors to organize and pack the boxes. We love this! Keep watching. I’ll post pictures soon.
• Over the weekend, I spent some time reading about the spiritual discipline that Americans love to forget, fasting. Did you know that the Bible talks about WHEN we fast, not if? Enough said.
• Then today, I come across this post called Is Thinness Next to Godliness?, which links to a post Does God Want you to be Thin? which links to a post This New Life of Veg. You get the idea. Food is a big deal.

It’s a big deal when you don’t have enough of it, and we recently learned that one in four of the children who live here in San Antonio go to bed hungry every night. This is unacceptable.

It’s a big deal when you have too much of it because you have to confront issues of gluttony, discipline and gratitude.

Food was a big deal in the Bible too. The people got irritated with John the Baptist because they thought he ate too little, and then they got mad at Jesus because they thought He ate too much (and with all the wrong people). Jesus began His life’s work at a wedding feast and ended it by celebrating a final passover meal with His closest friends.

God’s commands about food are pretty simple.

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. (I Cor. 10:31)

So I’m just wondering. What do you think about God, food and the Bible? I’d love to know.

Battery is drained. Shutting down.

The other day I ended up at work with an almost empty battery on my phone and no charger. It was a crazy day and the phone lasted until 2:30 when it stopped and gave me the above shutting down message. My first thought was, “Wish I could do that too.”

In our era of convenience, we live  at a breakneck speed. We press on until our minds and bodies are forced to shut down instead of taking time to recharge. From college student to soccer mom to working woman… we have all drained the battery.

Learn to recognize the signs your body and brain send out when they are growing weary. Jesus did. He spent a lot of time sharing into the lives of others, but He took time to get away and rest. If Jesus did it, it is a good lesson for us!

Here are my 4 Take Five Tips:

Give your Technology a Break

Turn off the phone, ipod, tv, everything! Lie down on the floor, bed or just lean back in your chair, close your eyes and relax. Slowly tighten and relax muscles in your body from head to toe. Focus on breathing slow and then relax for a few minutes. Try not to think about anything, just your breathing. If your brain is not cooperating, try saying Psalm 23 or another favorite scripture slowly in your head.

Give your Muscles a Break

When you are doing something that requires you to be in one position for extended periods of time take an occasional break to relax your muscles. This is especially good for those who work at a computer all day. Shrug your shoulders, shake out your arms and stretch those cramped muscles. When I am alone I like to turn up the music and dance to one song.

Give your Eyes a Break

In a quiet moment during the day, take a minute to close your eyes as tight as you can and then relax them. You will be surprised at how much tension you carry in that area. I carry Bausch & Lomb Soothing Eye Drops in my purse and use them when my eyes are tired. They are great. Like a mini-spa for your eyes!

Give your Breathing a Break

Take some deep breaths. Close your eyes. Exhale all the air out of your lungs. Then inhale slowly counting to eight. Hold your breath for a moment then slowly exhale. Repeat three or four times. Concentrate on your breathing. I always end up marveling at how the human body works. The complex-simplicity of just breathing. Our Father Creator is amazing!

I hope you will join me take a few minutes to take care of yourself and take five right now!

The Bible is quite a book. It’s life changing, inspiring and most of all, true. But the joy of  knowing and living it requires. reading it, and this can be daunting, especially for the uninitiated.

Just the size of the book is intimidating. How many 66-volume sets have you picked up lately? Once you begin reading, you realize that have no idea how long a cubit is or what the deal is with waving grain, and why does Shulamite seem happy when Solomon calls her a horse? I’d have slapped him!

Discovering that the stories aren’t chronological stops most in their tracks. How is it possible to follow along with a group as slippery as those Israelites who also happen to be referenced as Hebrews, Jews, Ephraim, and a plethora of other symbolic names. Then the kingdom splits in two, and there’s Judah and Israel, and is Jerusalem in the north or the south? All those kings and prophets and idols and Hivites, Ammonites, Moabites, and a zillion other something-ites not to mention all of those begats.  There’s got to be a plot in there somewhere, but who can tell?

Kem Meyer wrote on her blog today about her Top 5 Places to Start Reading the Bible, and I thought it would be great to share. My favorite places to start reading include the closing chapters of Job, Colossians, Proverbs and I John. Here are Kim’s recommendations…

What are yours?

Technorati Tags: Bible reading, Kem Meyer, Less Clutter Less Noise

As women in ministry, God often connects us with women who are facing some really tough life situations. Probably every woman in ministry who has a sincere love for other women and has faced tough questions and challenging circumstances. We wish we had all the answers and could make it all better.

We pray that God will bring those women to us and that the Spirit will reveal through us exactly what to say. We pray that God will help us be ready and available. Then a woman shares something with us that we are not prepared to hear. We ask God to give us His words.

Everywoman’s Story

I remember ministering to a woman who was going through a divorce after her husband’s affair. She really wanted answers. She was a great wife, great mom, great friend, active in the church, loved the Lord, and divorce happened anyway. She did not want a generic answer. She did not want to hear how God hated divorce. She began to isolate herself from the church because of the way people responded.  She was slowing dying on the inside and was fighting to save her marriage. She was sinking deeper, feeling shamed.

A Helpful Solution

Most of us have faced hard situations in ministry. Some face them daily.  I want to share with you this amazing little book that really helps address tough times.  It’s small enough that you can carry it in your purse. It’s the Emergency Response Handbook for Women’s Ministry by Group. It helps us know what to say and what NOT to say in many challenging situations. The real life narratives from others are especially helpful. It even has some care and counseling tips on ways to reach out in love to women who God sends our way.

This book is not filled with a ton of Scripture verses but is instead centered on biblical principles that we can apply to the hard questions women ask. It won’t address every question, but it will help you pray and love on women who are facing deep struggles that might be different from your own.

The Reality of our World

Women are facing infidelity, adultery, menopause, depression, rape, miscarriage, infertility, abuse, and the list goes on. We cannot take any of these situations casually. Women need a listening ear and thoughtful responses and real answers that are applicable to everyday life.

The book also includes medical advice from experts on depression and menopause. It also provides strong spiritual advice that is applicable for different seasons of life. From a medical perspective it shares when it is time to recommend that woman needs to seek professional help. Then we help then by going with them to the doctor or holding them accountable and not becoming their doctor because we are not equipped for those seasons.

It helps to have a guide to provide some direction about what to say and what NOT to say. It helps us to meet them where they are, to be open and safe and then try to lighten up together, while still expressing true concern. Women want ministry leaders to hear them, guard their information, and keep it real. One of the comments on this book referred to it as,“Practical ways to love women through their greatest challenges.” I AMEN that!

George Barna has released some troubling results from a recent study among Protestant adults. The findings focus on the impact of church size on a individual’s faith. I find all of that very interesting; however, the numbers that are leaping off of my computer screen are the hard data that exposes what Protestant’s say about what they believe…or don’t.

I hope you’ll read the whole report, but here’s the gist of what concerns me. Keep in mind that the respondents here claim to be attenders in Protestant churches.

Faith that Fails

• These church goers largely acknowledge God as creator and ruler, but a significant number do not accept His Word as totally accurate.  (25-40% depending on church size)
• The vast majority claim that their faith is very important to them, yet the idea of sharing what they believe is low on the list of personal priorities.
• Too many prefer to view Satan as an icon of evil while clinging to the false hope that any of us can muster up enough goodness to qualify for eternal life.

The numbers are startling and raise questions aplenty for those who lead ministries.  Here are two that seem immediately pertinent…

• How does my ministry contribute to clearly communicating the truth of the Bible?
• Even more importantly, how about my own life?

Troubles that Teach

The numbers are troubling, but they do not indicate that all is lost. Really, they tell us that we have unprecedented opportunity. We have people who are already coming to our churches who need to hear the truth. They need to know what the Bible is all about.

They need hope. They need change. And they won’t find it in vague ideas about eternity, God and how to make daily life happen. Faith may begin with abstractions, but it can never stay there. Concrete examples of living breathing Christians who really know Christ, who really follow what He says and who really reach out to the people they encounter will make all the difference.

We haven’t met a woman yet who doesn’t have a story to tell. So last week, when we asked you to give us a list of your upcoming Bible studies via our WM Tips Weekly enewsletter, we were delighted to also hear from many of you who told us more than we even asked for!

We heard from one woman who started a neighborhood Bible study and discovered a newfound passion. We heard from a another who was introduced to womensministry.net through her pastor’s wife who has since passed away, and she still carries the torch of ministry to women in her church family. Some of you told us about how you are just getting started in ministry while others have been leading the way for 15, 20, even 30+ years. You told us about your upcoming events, your calling to serve, your dreams for ministry and even the ways you are using the ideas you find on our site. The common thread in all of these stories is a deep love for God and His Word…the greatest story of all.

Thank you for letting us in on your stories and your ministry. We are delighted to be able to pray for you and the women who will lead Bible studies in your ministry this fall. We’re also thrilled to be able to pass along a list of names and studies below and invite the rest of our audience to pray along too.

If you haven’t yet told us about your Bible studies, we’d love to add them to our list and join you in prayer. Leave your list in the comment box just below this post.
