How to Come Back to Life

April 29, 2022

In the Bible, life doesn't simply mean existence. It means thriving, true life. One of the distinctives of Christianity is that it's not simply a set of rules to follow, it offers us a whole new life. Through faith in Christ, we come back to life.

Ultimately, what is a mid-life crisis? It reveals what idols you've been worshipping for the first half of your life. We need to be careful of burnout and have a good, biblical response to it.

At one point or another, the challenge will come. Will you give in completely to the identity of the world? Or will you take a stand? Somewhere, at some point, you have to say, "This is who I am."

Here Paul reaches out to the church in Phillipi and says that his joy will be complete, but the bigger goal is that the church please God. Together they will find joy in the process of ongoing, real unity.

Unity is not that complex. This is not a matter that stems from a high-flowing knowledge of the Scriptures or something that is based upon tough theological negotiations. But the witness that unity amongst believers has to a watching world is key.

Peter was afraid and hypocritical. We are to be the opposite. Instead of fearing man, we need to fear God. Instead of putting on a pretentious, hypocritical show, we need to take off the mask.

The trouble is, on its own, a message like "be joyful" can feel trite or too easy…or too hard. It's such an important battle to fight for joy amidst trying circumstances. Phillipians will help us do that.

I sometimes wonder whether one of the signs of pride is a lack of rest or an increasing intensity. We do need to work hard and work for God. Yet where is the Sabbath principle in our lives? There is a temptation to take pride in how busy we are—and wear it like a badge.

The reality of the fallen world in which we all live is evidenced in Nehemiah 13. Here we have another Bible hero being seen honestly. Why does the Bible show us these things? Pastor Josh says it's to point us to the one real hero who won't disappoint us.

In one of his most startling statements, Jesus said that the cities where he was doing his miracles would fare worse than Sodom and Gomorrah, because the miracles these cities had received were far greater. So where does that leave us in our spiritually wealthy land? We have a wealth of resources available to us, and we need to take the opportunities we have seriously and respond.
