Two verses from John…

In John 14:6, Jesus said “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through me.” That’s a pretty bold statement! That’s not only a truth claim, it’s a claim that every other way is false.

In John 3:36, John says “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” It sounds like a lot is on the line here, am I right??

Last Sunday on Easter, the pastor at Fellowship told the congregation that “I believe in Christianity, not because it’s helpful or helps me through hard times. I believe in Christianity because it’s true.” Good answer. I believe it to be true, also, and it’s the reason I am a Christian.
‭
There are many world views and religions and they all believe in different things about God and his nature. What makes one triumph over the rest? If they are all so different then they can’t all be true, right?? Isn’t that important?

I asked my son once, Why are we Christians? Have you ever been asked that? How would you respond? Could you answer that in one sentence? My 13 year old son, at the time, couldn’t find the words to articulate his beliefs and he was a bit stumped. I told him the answer to that question is… “Because Christianity is the best explanation for the way things are in reality.” It has an answer for every challenge. Will it convince everyone…no! In fact, it will convince far fewer than it will not. And, the Bible even makes that very claim.

Are the Gospels reliable? Is the Bible the inerrant Word of God? Is Jesus really who He says He is? There are many good reasons to trust in Jesus as God, the Bible as God’s word, and the claim that Christianity is true. If you want to dive deeper into that, do some research and find the answers for yourself. That, or you know how to reach me.

Psalm 107

Thus is a great chapter to study. It shows the progression of the human race and how followers of God will fall into sin or go through a hard season in life, cry out to God, he listens and reacts. Then we should follow up with praise and worship even when the outcome is not according to our will.

I challenge you to read the whole chapter and spend time asking God to reveal moments in your past or present that he wants you to reflect on. Write it out. Tell him how dark and hard it was. Document where you heard or felt God’s presence in that even if it was 20 years later when you felt redeemed by God.

THE THANG:

The CMU pile looks terrible. Besides the fact that all of our good coupons have been pinched, a big rubble pile has developed. It was time to clean up the house a bit and take stock of our supply.

So today we picked up as many of the broken pieces carried them to and dropped them in my trailer then did an exercise listed on a card. Repeat till all of the debris was cleared and the trailer was full. We then organized the CMUs. These are the exercises.

10 shoulder taps
10 squats
10 extra wide merkins
10 SSH
10 Big Boys
10 Diamond Merks
10 Flutters
10 Iron Mikes
10 mountain climbers
1 burpee

After clean up was over we ran to the pull up bar. We worked on slow pull downs. Start at the top and slowly drop taking about 10 secs each time. Do it about 3x. While waiting hold plank or alternate between 15 merkins and 15 squats.

Finally we ended up at the playground for a mini obstacle course. Start at the bench and do 15 dips, go down the slide, do 3 burpees, go to swings and do 15 reverse rows, then do 15 chuck Norris merkins, and finally mosey across the bridge and back around to the bench where we started. We did this 3x. Held plan for the 6.

COT:
I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend. I hope you all have taken a moment to ponder the mystery. Did you ever wonder if Easter wasn’t real? Maybe it is all fake? We can certainly say that the course of Western History was changed for the good because of the events around Easter. Something did happen. But really the point of Easter is that God brings the dead to life. It’s a revolutionary concept that if we believe our lives cannot be the same. The living don’t act like dead things. That’s just not logical. If alive, why act like a corpse?

So do you think Easter happened? Do you live like it did?

THE THANG:
It was raining so we sheltered at the church entrance. We did a Dora style workout. One partner did flipped back and forth between two exercises doing 10 at a time while the other partner took a lap around the covered areas. We listened to the pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack in anticipation of Escape from Hawaii Ridge.

We contemplated the verse affixed to the statue at the front of the school…

““Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.””
