CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I’ve been reading the Gospel of John and it has led me to reflect on my namesake, Andrew’s, role.  Andrew is never considered one of the “main” disciples and is not mentioned nearly as much in the Gospels or the New Testament as Peter, James, John, or even Judas.  However, the Gospels tell us he did some incredibly important things:

  1. He was the first disciple called by Jesus.
  2. He was a disciple of John the Baptist before John points him to Jesus.
  3. He brought his brother Peter to Jesus.
  4. He was a fisherman with Peter.
  5. He brought the boy with the loaves and fish to Jesus so he could feed the 5,000.
  6. He was the first disciple to claim Jesus was the Messiah.

Through these scattered and limited accounts of Andrew, we can draw a few conclusions:

  1. He was seeking God — already a disciple of John the Baptist
  2. He was a man of work — fisherman
  3. He showed up — likely one of the main reasons he was called first by Jesus; he was there
  4. When he saw the Truth, he spoke it — claiming Jesus was the Messiah
  5. Perhaps most importantly, he brought people to Jesus.  The Gospel of John tells us that he brought both his brother Peter and the boy with the food to Jesus and Jesus worked miracles through them both.

If we could simply do what Andrew did, what awesome legacy could we leave behind?  Seek God, put in the work, be where you need to be, speak the Truth, and bring others to Jesus.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” John 8:31‭-‬32 NASB1995

What a blessing it is to have the word of God. We have access to information that tells us exactly what God expects of us. If we know God’s word and continually obey it, we can be set free from sin. God’s word is truth. We need to study it and commit it to memory so that we may know it.

Daily Bible Verse:  “A new commandment I give you: Love one another.  As I have loved you, so you must love one another.  By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
(John 13:34-35, NIV)

What Rules Your Life?  Leonard Sweet urges us to go past the Golden Rule to the Titanium Rule.  He says it’s Jesus’ idea.  This is the way he breaks it down:

  1. The Iron Rule.  “Do unto others BEFORE they do it unto you.”  This was the rule when humanity was first organized into clans.
  2. The Silver Rule.  “Do unto others AS they have done unto you.”  This is the “eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” mentality.
  3. The Golden Rule.  “Do unto others AS YOU would have them do unto YOU.”  The Golden Rule built the best of Western civilization.  But who does it put at the center?  YOU.
  4. The Platinum Rule.  “Do unto others as THEY would have you do unto them.”  The focus moves from you to them.
  5. The Titanium Rule.  Jesus established this rule.  The focus is not on “doing;” it focuses on “loving.”  “Love one another as I have loved you.”

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.

MOLESKIN:
While living on this earth we will always hope for things… sometimes those things are temporary and others eternal.

  1. Just remember that God is our living hope.. and is building a place for us to have eternal bliss..  so while we are waiting,  remember he gave us his spirit to give us some kind of comfort and keep hope burning.
