Every January we say to ourselves, “This year is going to be different.”
But far too often, “this year” turns out to be the same as last year. We get frustrated, depressed, and angry at ourselves. It seems that things will never change. But our problem isn’t in the quality of our intentions, but in the quality of our investments.
In order to “Live Different,” we must be different, and to be different, we must invest differently. If you haven’t already, check out the “Live Different” series live or online.
In 2010 we are going to renew our commitment to follow Jesus as true disciples, and to begin to live the life that He intended for us. Fear, failure, history, and whatever else is no longer going to hold us back from becoming the people that God created us to be.
Someone got my oldest daughter a pink hat for Christmas. Yes, you read that right. A pink hat. They didn’t ask for my permission. They didn’t ask me what I thought. In fact, I didn’t have any idea the pink hat existed until one day before the Newman family left for a day of adventure, Diara was wearing it.
On her head.
Yes, she was wearing a pink hat. Had it tilted just right, and added a special strut to go along with her special hat.
I stopped what I was doing. Everything froze as I stared at the pink hat.
“What is that?”
“What is what?”
“What is that on your head?”
“It’s a hat Dad.”
“Well I can see that (The question is, if I could see that it was a hat, then why did I ask? Only reason I can give is, that is what parents do! We question the obvious.). Where did you get it?”
“I got it for Christmas. From Pauline (her cousin).”
“Oh.”
“You are going to wear it?”
“Yes.”
“Outside? In public?”
She nodded again that she would wear it, but this time she didn’t seem as sure. After looking at the pink hat with a critical eye one last time, I turned to resume my previous activity. It wasn’t until later while we were out did I realize Diara wasn’t wearing her pink hat.
She left it at home. Maybe she had forgotten it.
Days later it dawned on me.
She hadn’t forgotten her beloved pink hat. She hadn’t fallen out of love with her pink Christmas hat. She had simply lost the courage to wear it.
And the worst part of it was, I had taken that courage from her.
Mr. Creativity, Innovation, and Uniqueness had scared his daughter from her“pinkness” into something far less.
I felt horrible about it.
I went up to her room (it was bedtime now), and spoke softly into the darkness.
“Diara? Are you awake?”
“Yes, Dad.”
“I need to talk to you.”
“Yes, Dad.”
“Well Dad has come here to apologize.”
“For what?”
“For the pink hat.”
“The pink hat?”
“Yes, the pink hat. Not too long ago, you came downstairs wearing a pink hat. And you were really excited about it and proud to wear it.”
“Yeah.”
“Well, I remember that night you left it at home. And I haven’t seen you wear it since. It just sits here on your dresser drawer.”
“Yes.”
“Well I know why you didn’t wear it. And that is why I want to apologize. You didn’t wear your pink hat because I made you embarrassed because of your pink hat. You were trying to do something different, orginal, and exciting. But all I did was make you feel small. That was wrong. And I am sorry. Please forgive me.”
I leaned over, giving her a hug and a tender kiss.
“Really Dad?”
“Really.”
“Can you find enough strength, to forgive your Dad?”
“Yes.”
“And one more thing, little girl.”
“Yeah?”
“You’ve GOTTA wear the pink hat. I can’t wait to see it.”
May all of us, despite the critics and naysayers, have the courage to wear our pink hats.
“Then David danced before the LORD with all his might…”
2 Samuel 6:14
“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
WHAT IF WE WERE THIS PASSIONATE, EXCITED, AND ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT GOD? WHAT IF WE PURSUED HIS PURPOSES WITH ALL OUR MIGHT? HOW WOULD THAT SHAPE US? WHAT COULD WE ACCOMPLISH? HOW WOULD THE WORLD CHANGE? WHAT IF WE DID IT TOGETHER?
“This is the rock on which I will put together my church, a church so expansive with energy that not even the gates of hell will be able to keep it out.”
-Matthew 16:18 (The Message)
Watching Lebron James run roughshod over multiple Laker defenders I was reminded of a similar feeling I had when I watched Shaq/Kobe combo at the beginning of the decade. I remember thinking, “If these guys figure it out and pull it together, no one will be able to stop them.” Then they came back in Game 7 to beat the Portland Trailblazers 89-85 after trailing by 15 points in the 4th Quarter. The comeback was culminated with one of greatest moments in recent NBA history (Kobe with tossing an alley-oop to Shaq to seal the deal).
When that happened I thought, “They did it. It’s over.”
And it was over. They destroyed the league, playing in 4 straight championships, winning 3 of them. They were a Juggernaut.
A couple of evening ago, Lebron looked a little “Juggernautish”. Like the Juggernaut in the comic books, if opposing NBA teams don’t stop his momentum soon, they won’t be able to.
You and I are the same.
We are like Shaq, Kobe, and Lebron.
We are Juggernauts too.
When the people of God gather momentum, there is nothing that can stop us. In Jesus, we become Juggernauts. The Enemy of our Souls realizes this. He will do absolutely anything to distract us. Discouragement. Depression. Fear. Anything to get us off our game.
But if we stay focused on Jesus and dismiss every distraction, we will become the Juggernauts we were created to be.
set⋅tler [set-ler, -l-er]
–noun
1. a person or thing that settles.
2. a person who settles in a new country or area.
pil⋅grim [pil-grim, -gruhm]
–noun
1. a person who journeys, esp. a long distance, to some sacred place as an act of religious devotion: pilgrims to the Holy Land.
2. a traveler or wanderer, esp. in a foreign place.
We all know that this life on earth is temporary.
We know it, but we don’t live like it. We live like we are going to be here forever. It isn’t almost as if we expect to somehow be the exception to this little thing called death. Like Settlers, we have become overly concerned with how to fortify ourselves so we can stay put, rather than be Pilgrims positioning ourselves to move out and move on.
A Settler thinks, “this is my home!”.
A Pilgrim thinks “I am on my way home!”.
When God speaks a Settler says:
How is this going to affect ME?
How much time will it take ME?
How much will it cost ME?
When I can I do what God wants ME to do so I can get back to my normal routine?
When God speaks a Pilgrim says:
God what is it that YOU want?
Please God, give me YOUR strength!
God give me YOUR help!
God give me YOUR perspective!
God, I am not sure I get it or understand it, but I am here to serve YOU.
Settlers focus on themselves. Pilgrims focus on God. Settlers are enamored with earth. Pilgrims are looking to heaven. Settlers build their own homes. Pilgrims are waiting for the home God is building for them.
So…are you a Settler or a Pilgrim?
Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
-Ps. 84:5
“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.”
-Matthew 10:34
In most instances, chaos is a bad thing. But when Jesus becomes an agent of chaos in our lives, His intention is always good. Jesus will disrupt and bring (what appears to be) disorder into our life to deconstruct the world we have created apart from Him. When we live life independent of His influence, Jesus generally uses a predictible formula to ultimately capture our hearts.
He will:
1. Disturb our Peace.
2. Make us Uncomfortable.
3. Limit our Options.
He does this because He wants us to have:
1. His Peace.
2. His Comfort.
3. His Path.
Things might be tough right now. But perhaps we should perceive our challenges through a different lens. For a moment lets consider the possibility (especially if we are traveling in a direction that contradicts the commands of Jesus) that perhaps God IS working in our life?
Maybe God is using the pain and the sweat, disturbance and discomfort, not to hurt us but to help us? What if God is giving us a temporary squeeze to create an atmosphere where we finally surrender?
Remember, God always takes the long view of things. He will always sacrifice short-term comfort for our long-term success.
He is more than willing to wreak havoc and chaos to bring true comfort and peace.
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Today we celebrate not only the memory, but we are challenged by Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream. This dream of love, hope, and togetherness has inspired us to always bear the burden of our brothers and sisters in their time of need.
This dream is as relevant today as it was 40 years ago.
May God give us dreams that change the world in our generation.
“Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.”
-Ps. 62:2
“The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe…”
-Heb. 12:27-28
All of our hearts go out for those suffering in Haiti at this very moment. The 7.0 earthquake has left the hemisphere’s poorest nation without basic services such as water and power, much less a functioning government. This is a calamity of the highest order where thousands have died, others have been injured, and many are displaced. Once again, we are reminded of just how fragile this life actually is.
Lately it seems, that everything that can be shaken is being shaken.
The global economy, the illusion of fame, weakness of human government, among many other false shelters have been shaken to the core. The limits of these false shelters & refuges that we have formerly placed our faith in are being exposed for what they are:
False. Fake. Phony. Futile.
As a people we are being shaken.
To our core.
In this shaking we are being forced to ask questions like: “What really matters? What is important? What happens when I leave this life? Where have I placed my faith and hope in?”
The shaking has caused us to recall what we formerly forgotten, to remember that only refuge that lasts is one built on the word of God.
As you read this, chances are there is an important aspect of your life that is being significantly shaken (I know that is true for me!). Rather than despise the shaking, let’s allow what is being shaken to expose what is fake, so we can cling to what is true.
Ax⋅is [ak-sis]–noun, plural ax⋅es: point around which something revolves.
Today, a local family had an eventful start to their morning. The Dad got up late. Really late. And as a result, Dad woke everyone up much later than usual. Though I was really tired (I mean the Dad was!), that wasn’t the reason for his tardiness.
Dad set the alarm clock carefully before going to bed.
Dad’s workout clothes were laid and ready to put on after the alarm went off.
After working out diligently, Dad would wake the sleeping beauties so they could ready for their day.
But despite this best laid plans, at 7:40 am I was still (I mean Dad!) soundly sleeping. Dad was finally awakened by a sickly child jumping in bed complaining of a upset stomach. When Dad realized what time it was, he sat up.
Dad was completely shocked.
Dad looked at the clock and checked the alarm. It still said 5:00 am. He was frustrated. He was irritated. He thought of purchasing a clock that really worked, or maybe even calling the clockmakers to bemoan their despicable product. But when Dad looked again, he noticed something that made him cringe.
Dad DID set the alarm for 5:00, but instead of 5:00 am, he had mistakenly set it for 5:00 pm. The numbers and intent were right, but the timing was wrong.
Dad shook his head while scrambling to get everyone out the door and in class before the school bell rang. After dropping the girls off at school, he began to consider how this little mistake affected the lives of his entire family.
All because he had based his schedule rested on the wrong axis. He was well meaning, diligent, and prepared. But none of those things mattered.
Because the axis was wrong, everything else was too.
When we base our lives, actions, and futures upon anything else other than the eternal words of God we always get mixed up.
We can be well meaning, focused, diligent, and prepared.
But none these details will matter.
When the axis is wrong, everything else is too.
If we are presently in the wrong place, at the wrong time, having the wrong experience, maybe the issue isn’t our intention, preparation, or diligence.
Perhaps we have just set our life to the wrong axis.
The good news is, God gives us another chance.
Right now.
Today.
This very moment.
Don’t let it slip.
A question everyone one of us must ask, “Is my life and future aligned with the Axis of God?”
Every January we say to ourselves, “This year is going to be different.”
But far too often, “this year” turns out to be the same as last year. We get frustrated, depressed, and angry at ourselves. It seems that things will never change. But our problem isn’t in the quality of our intentions, but in the quality of our investments.
In order to “Live Different,” we must be different, and to be different, we must invest differently. If you haven’t already, check out the “Live Different” series live or online.

Some people are smart.
They know statistics, processes, and methods.
They interpret what sits on the surface.
Other people are wise.
They know deep things, think deep thoughts, contemplate deep secrets.
They see what sits underneath the surface.
But there is another group that is both smart AND wise.
They can interpret what is visible, and dechiper what is not.
It is one thing to be smart.
It is one thing to be wise.
It is quite another thing to be smart AND wise.
From my vantage point, the smart/wise will be those making the biggest difference in our generation.
So get smart.
And get wise.

“This is the rock on which I will put together my church, a church so expansive with energy that not even the gates of hell will be able to keep it out.”
-Matthew 16:18 (The Message)
Two nights ago I watched the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Los Angeles Lakers 93-87. It was an impressive performance for the home team (Cavaliers). If I was a Laker fan I would be afraid. Very afraid.
Watching Lebron James run roughshod over multiple Laker defenders I was reminded of a similar feeling I had when I watched Shaq/Kobe combo at the beginning of the decade. I remember thinking, “If these guys figure it out and pull it together, no one will be able to stop them.” Then they came back in Game 7 to beat the Portland Trailblazers 89-85 after trailing by 15 points in the 4th Quarter.

“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
-Psalm 34:18
We often think we do our best work when we are whole.
I disagree.
I think we do our best work when we are broken. When we are shattered, bruised, and battered.
When we are broken, our desperate hands reach out to a holy God.
And He comes, bringing His unbelievable best to our wretched worst.
The broken do their best work because in brokenness they are ready for His work.
