    Prayer Wednesday

    I received an email this week from a guy at SPL who wants to connect with his buddies and invite them into a 40-day ‘build our marriages stronger’ opportunity.

    And he’s going to do it with his work buddies, NOT his church buddies! He wasn’t sure if it was a good idea, so he emailed to ask what I thought. I think it’s the best idea I’ve heard all year. This is EXACTLY what a ‘roof-ripping’ friend looks like. I was jealous I hadn’t thought of it.

    Psalm 90 is a humble prayer that acknowledges how quickly life passes, how soon our run through this life is over, and how eternal our LORD is. Psalm 90 finishes with these words of prayer:

    “May the favour of the LORD our God rest up on us;
    establish the work of our hands for us
    yes, establish the work of our hands.”

    Amen!

    Let’s pray today for creative, bold, and risky opportunities to invite people into the hope Jesus has given us! 

    Praying with you.

    Andrew

    Paul never recovered from God including the Gentiles in the salvation invitation. Like some of us, perhaps, he felt like some people should be excluded by virtue of where they were born or how badly they have behaved. More than included, Paul instructs that former ‘outsiders’ should be treated as precious insiders, treated even better than we would treat ourselves. What would it look like if love came to town?

    Human beings need reminders about how to get along, and Christians are no exception. We especially need reminders about how to love each other while we disagree. Paul draws the believers' hearts and minds back to what Jesus has done, and that paves the way for loving each other well through conflict.

    How do we live with Jesus in a society that opposes him? Paul tells us to wake up to our resurrection hope. When we do that, loving others and rejecting sin in our own lives makes sense.

    Romans 12 is the description of what happens when God’s mercy overflows in a church’s life. Lifelong attitudes change, love becomes genuine, mocking enemies are not met with equal and opposite force but, quite the opposite, with peace and gentleness. Be praying even now for how God will speak uniquely to your small group.

    All along, we’ve been saying that God’s heart is to see us INCLUDED. That’s why Jesus came, and that’s the subject of Paul’s letter to the Romans. At times, Christians forget God’s radical inclusion of them and go back to the old patterns of competing and comparing. Sadly, that was happening in the Roman Church. Paul has one powerful dose for that sickness.

    The resurrection changed everything! The story includes an invitation, a blessing, and a commission for the first witnesses … and for us today.
