It's God Calling

God’s mercy is never ending! That’s good as so many of us seem deaf to God’s call on our lives. But God’s calling will not go away. If the Lord called you ten years ago and you’re still messing around in the land of procrastination, just know that He will outlast you. He has a lot more time than you do! So, you might as well say yes. And if you’re thinking your time has passed and God couldn’t use you, just look at some of the sketchy old characters in Scripture that God used in a mighty way. If God used them, He can certainly use you. Jesus is waiting. Answer the call. -- Friar Tuck’s Occasional Wisdom

Redeeming Our Trials

The Joseph of Genesis went from luxury and ease, to slavery and hardship almost overnight. However, he teaches us that the worst this world can dish out will often be used by God to accomplish His great purposes. Fear no evil when you walk through the valley of the shadow of death. God is with us. Trust in his sovereign plan. He may be sending you on ahead… positioning you so that, years from now, you can be of comfort and help to others in their time of great need. It may even be someone who has angered you and hurt you greatly. -- 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

Swearing Church Mice

Be careful what you swear to in front of God and witnesses. Peter boldly declared that he would die before ever denying Christ. He swore to God. But when the soldiers came, he ran like a rodent off a sinking ship along with all the other disciples. None of them were ready to die for Jesus just yet. Later, when asked if he knew Jesus, “Peter the mouth” became “Peter the mouse” and swore in a whole different way. We can easily become just like Peter. A little denial here… a little silence there… and the next thing you know, we too have become mere church mice. When was the last time you spoke up for Jesus outside the church walls? -- Friar Tuck’s Occasional Wisdom
