CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

My son recently started reading a new book series called Redwall. It comes highly recommended from a few different folks, so I am sure it is good. One of the books was laying on the floor, and a word on the back cover caught my eye. “Welcome to the captivating world of Redwall”. Captivating. Somehow in that moment, the root of that word was really clear to me – captive. It’s funny sometimes how two closely related words can have totally opposite meanings. Awe and Awful and Awesome. Terror and Terrific. Captive and Captivating.

And I know that is likely to be a good description for my son. When he finds a book he wants to read, he is truly a captive. It often requires a bit of forcefulness to get him free of it, even for the simplest things. But that’s not unique to him, I have the same experience, just with different things. But it’s not my instinct to think of positive things when I hear the word captive. My mind goes to ropes, chains, and bars. But I think it is much more common to be held captive by a pleasure than by force. Pointing at addictive substances is an obvious move here. But our colorful light boxes capture our attention much more often and effectively. Heck it’s pretty much impossible to consume alcohol in the quantity that I have consumed a tv series. Two packs a day hardly compares to the frequency that my phone captures my eyes.

The apostle Paul knew well that our fate is captivity, whether we like it or not. We will be captive, the only question is to What? Romans 6 ends with a classic memory verse, but hear the lead up:

16Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. 18You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

19I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness. 20When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. 21What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! 22But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. 23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I said the question is What will you be a slave to, but perhaps a better question is To Whom?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“We are men of action. Lies do not become us.”

Who do we lie to? Others? Ourselves? Our God?

One way we lie to all three is by pretending we will live forever.

Think of your legacy. What do you picture? Money? A business? Heirlooms or possessions?

Which of these will survive 10 years? 20 years? 50? 100? Eternity?

Steve Jobs was one of the most influential people in the world while he lived and continues to be. However, within months of his death, Apple released a product he said they’d never make: the iPad Mini.

Do not lie to yourself and pretend that your material work will leave a legacy for your family. The only true legacy we can leave is by passing our values from the Word of God to others in our lives. The disciples we make will outlive us way longer than any work of our hands.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Justice is a word that gets used a lot these days, and it has many meanings. Today, I want to focus us on the way that is most effective in our everyday life. It has a lot to do with the way we treat others, and I think of it in two big ways: I do at least my fair share of the work and I don’t take more than my fair share of the good stuff.

When there is work to do, a person of justice works hard to carry an equal part of the load. Don’t hold back and see if maybe somebody else will do it for you. Don’t try to find the easy part to do while someone else does the hard part. Just step up, do your best, and work to help finish the job.

Likewise, when there is something good to be had, a person of justice is careful only to take what is right. Pay attention to how much others will get. No tricks to get extra. No excuses like “I’m hungrier”, “I didn’t get any last time”, “He got too much, so I should, too”.

Finally, I want to make clear that this is focused on how I behave. It’s not about making sure someone else does their fair share. It’s not about putting myself in charge of how much everyone gets. And it certainly isn’t about making everyone else do what I think is right. It’s just focused on making sure I am doing the right thing.

This is not to say that there is no place for you to seek justice for others, but before we do that we must first do the work of enforcing justice upon ourselves.
