It is said that criminals return to the crime scene. Dogs return to their vomit, and pigs return to the mire. When people get off course and find themselves unhappy, they return to their roots. But what are those roots, and do you want to return to something you turned away?

  1. Ben Franklin & Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia

"a lady asked Dr. Franklin, well Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy—A republic, replied the Doctor if you can keep it.

Freedom is for anyone who can keep it. Few can. Maintaining freedom is difficult for the United States of America, Adam and Eve, Israel, and you and me.

"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. "For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light." - Matthew 11:28-30 NASU


Jesus, who is from Heaven, came more than to save us but to exchange with us. His exchange rate is an easy yoke for a heavy-laden yoke and a light burden for a weary one. That is the exchange. However, many folks do not want an exchange but prefer one way transfer to drop off their burdens at the feet of Jesus and then leave without responsibility. Thank you, Jesus; see you tomorrow when I drop off my dirty laundry. I don't want the responsibility. Not knowing they also negate any freedom without responsibility.

newsletterA few weeks ago, we discussed the silent majority in Elijah's time, the same as ours. Elijah was bold and courageous but lost sight of those who weren't considered heroic, but neither did they bow their knee to Baal. Remember that we do not stand alone in the public eye even when the majority are hiding. They, too, are standing and not bowing to the real enemy of our souls. Our fight is not with flesh and blood. But let's continue with a second witness found in scripture. How does God feel about those who refuse to bow to the dictates of the hour but have grown weary of standing.

So you are weary, don't deconstruct

Walk with God

Adam walked with God in the garden before hiding. Enoch walked with God and was found no more because he was taken. Two men on the way to Emmaus walked with the risen Jesus and didn’t even know until their eyes were opened. And Jesus calls us out to take up our cross and walk with him today. Walk with me, as we walk with Christ.

Scripture

They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. - Genesis 3:8 NASU

Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.  - Genesis 5:24 NASU

While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them. - Luke 24:15 NASU

And He was saying to them all, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me. "For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it. - Luke 9:23-24 NASU

Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches. Galatians 6:6

How do I get saved?

Jesus said if you want to follow me, you must lose your life. A higher standard than the typical ask Jesus into your heart confession. You have to start somewhere, so make the confession, but then do what Jesus said daily if you really believe in him. Jesus continued telling those who want to follow him that they must also take up their cross. Which means following Jesus will put you under the microscope of today's society. But that is part of the plan of losing your life so that you may live for him eternally. And why would you want to follow Jesus with all the trouble that goes with being his disciple? Because he is the only way through death to eternal life. He is not showing us the way. He is the way!

What is 'Walk with me'?

We are living in the Enoch generation. Enoch walked with God and was found no more because God took him. To walk with God means to hear, to reflect, and then to go out into all the world proclaiming Christ crucified. As a Bible teacher, I have several websites that help people walk with God. If you don't have a church home, walk with me until you do. Walk with me is my version of onboarding people into the Kingdom of God. Subscribe to the Walk with me Newsletter to begin.
