God called Moses back to Egypt through a burning bush. All of us stand before some form of burning bush and receive our call. And when that call comes, we can either make excuses and stay where we are… or head for our Egypt and do what God sent us there to do. And our “Egypt” might be just across the street. Moses knew that he couldn’t stay where he was and still say he loved God. Neither can we! -- Friar Tuck’s Occasional Wisdom

PRIORITIES

Many Christians today want to drink from the cup of salvation, but they balk at lifting it up to others. The American church is top heavy with those who’ve read all the latest books and attended all the best bible conferences with all the coolest contemporary personalities.... but who have never led another person to Jesus. We gorge ourselves on knowledge in a world starving for the gospel. We pay highly trained professional clergy to enlighten us, edify us, feed us, and entertain us.... but they are often reluctant to speak of repentance, conversion, sacrifice, or the cost of discipleship for fear of losing us. Lord, have mercy! -- Friar Tuck’s Occasional Wisdom

The Way God Provides

God rescued His people from Pharaoh’s army and certain death by providing for them a way through parted waters. By faith, they walked the narrow way. They had come to a place of desperation and saw no other way to be saved. Very few complained about it being the only way. When death comes knocking and someone offers us a way of escape, only the foolish will protest. The way to eternal life that God provides is still narrow. It’s the Jesus way. The wise and the desperate seldom complain about it being the only way. They simply take it and are saved. -- Friar Tuck’s Occasional Wisdom

Overflowing With Thankfulness

During this Thanksgiving season filled with food, family and football, could we squeeze in a little gratitude to God? God’s people are called to overflow with thankfulness. This can happen in two ways. We can be so full of thanksgiving that it naturally runs over the sides of our cup and onto those around us. Or our cups can overflow (spill out) when we get bumped hard by life. When our cup gets shaken hard by tragedy, trials, and testing, it will naturally overflow with what’s inside it. We cannot overflow with something we are not filled with. So what’s in your cup?” -- Friar Tuck’s Occasional Wisdom
