I had “Great Redeemer” for communion… but it’s next week.  So I’ll either skip it or use it as the closing song.  At this point I’m thinking of skipping it.

On the Mountain: A Devotional Journey w

Chapter Seven: Your Role as a Mentor – An Excerpt from “On the Mountain”

Chapter 7: Your Role as a Mentor
Exodus 24:13

So Moses arose with his assistant Joshua,
and Moses went up to the mountain of God.
Exodus 24:13

Morro Bay, California

Another aspect of leadership crucial to the ministry of a worship leader is that of mentoring and discipling those God has placed in your sphere of influence or under your authority. Joshua was the attendant of Moses since his youth as well as one of his choice men (Numbers 11:28). He spent more than forty years along with and assisting Moses who was able to live as an example, through both the wise and foolish choices he had made.

The Bible is very clear about discipleship and this principle applies to being a leader in the church. Look around and discern whom the Lord has given you. Seek the Lord as you train up Joshua to take your place. This allows God to use your life by multiplying it—even as Jesus told his disciples in the following passage:

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
John 14:12-14

Some examples of mentoring relationships in the Bible are the following: Moses mentored Joshua; Eli mentored Samuel; Elijah mentored Elisha; Jesus closely mentored John, James, and Peter; Paul mentored Timothy; Aquila and Pricilla mentored Apollos; and, Phoebe mentored young women.

Hymn-Theology: Though the Wrong Seems Oft So Strong

“This is my Father’s world. O let me ne’er forget that though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.”

Maltbie D. Babcock – “This Is My Father’s World” 1901

Lately, I’ve been listening to Jadon Lavik’s Roots Run Deep CD featuring his interpretation of hymns.  This line:  “though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet” (This Is My Father’s World) has struck me intensely.

There are so many times that we question the way God rules.  We think, can this really be God’s world?  How can the Father allow this or that to happen? (Which is the first lie–but another blog.)

Psalm 24:1 tells us that the “earth is the Lord’s and everything in it.”  Yet Ephesians tells us that we wrestle against the rulers of darkness.

So which is it?

Yes.

There is no authority that God hasn’t given (Rom 13:1).  Since all authority originates from Him, then it’s logical that He, in His Sovereignty, has allowed the wrongs which often seem overwhelming, strong, and irrefutable.  He even has given authority to Satan.

We know from the story of Job that Satan had permission from God to test him (Job 1:8-12, Job 2:3-6).

That being said, HE is still the Ruler.  He is going to judge the world.

That hope of vindication and justice should cause us to rest in the shadow of His wings, under His protection–not to take it upon ourselves to seek vengeance.

1 Peter 2:12 NLT

Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world.

Revelation 1:5 NLT

…Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth…

For Thought & Discussion:

• Why Did I Write this?
• What are your thoughts about this stanza?
• Are there any other verses that back up this hymn theologically?
• Have you used this song lately?  Have you explained it?

Irrevocable Calling

Romans 11:29 NLT

For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn.

Have you ever questioned your calling?  Have you thought that God has withdrawn from you and taken away the gifts?

Have you ever been through church splits, leadership changes, differences in church philosophy (how to run things), or varying seasons in your walk?

Then this is the verse for you.

I can’t tell you how many times I thought I should quit, and the Lord reminded me that I am called or how many times I have also ministered to others from this passage.

The calling “with which you were called” is the one that we are to “walk worthy of” (Ephesians 4:1). Part of walking worthy is being faithful–not quitting.

That being said, there are seasons in our lives–times where we serve in a certain capacity.

In my life, I have taught children, teenagers, women.  I have lead worship in small groups, with children’s church, for women’s ministry, and in “big church.”  I have organized and lead and taught retreats.  But this is over the years since 1996–not simultaneously.  There have been seasons of sitting and seasons of serving.  But the calling hasn’t been “revoked.”  God doesn’t change His mind.

The gifts I have are not for me–they’re for the church.  So God uses our gifts to minister to each group of people (church).

It’s so important to remember your gifts and callings and that He is the one who “works in you to will and to do” (Philppians 2:13).  He who began a good work “will be faithful to complete it” (Philippians 1:6).

What are your gifts?  How are you using them?

June 21, 2009

Here are the songs I have chosen for tomorrow’s service at Calvary Chapel Seaside.

Hopefully it will go well.  I’ll be alone on keyboard.

I have a wedding to attend this evening so an early exit will help me prepare for tomorrow morning.

Philippians: An Eight Week Study Guide

This is an adaptation of a 15 day devotional through Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon that I assembled for my grandson.

Check it out, use it in groups, whatever.

Here is the PDF for Philippians.

In His Time: Song Demo

Here is a song I wrote for my friends Nicole & Warren when they were engaged based on this verse:

Ecclesiastes 3:11
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

Although originally intended for their wedding, it’s not a true wedding song–didn’t fit in, I think it would be appropriate for any wedding or a retreat theme.

Let me know your thoughts.

In His Time

Here is the PDF Chart.

WARNING: THIS IS A DEMO.

My official disclaimer is that I wanted to start this. Posting it will make me accountable to change the guitar part (at LEAST) in Garage Band, eventually add percussion of some sort, and fix my horrible keyboard playing.

It would be so much better with a male vocal–as a duet.
