Thanksgiving to abound the glory of God

For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God. – 2 Corinthians 4:15

Every person, every situation, every thing is allowed through the wise and omnipotent hand of God for your sakes. He is, like the potter, shaping this world for his own purposes, and he purposes your good, if you are one of his.

As Paul wrote in his first letter to Corinth, “the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours” (1 Corinthians 3:22). God has subdued even your greatest enemies, so they now work for your good.

But the good of those who love God is not God’s only motivation. His primary motivation, because he is God, is always and rightly his own glory. And so, we are reminded, God has purposed our good for his glory.

It is the great purpose of God that his abundant and conquering grace should redound to his own glory. It is only right that it would be so, like an author or a painter or a sculptor being credited for his masterpieces. But how does abundant grace resonate to his glory? Through the thanksgiving of many.

God will be glorified by us, no matter what — either in forgiving us or in condemning us. But our goal should be that he is glorified in us. When we grab from the gracious hand of God and run away thoughtlessly to enjoy his benefits, his abundant grace does not receive the glory it deserves.

So, dear pardoned sinner and beneficiary of divine goodness: make yourself today a soundboard for the glory of God. May each blessing sent your way reverberate to the glory of his name, through your conscious and joyful thanksgiving.

My Words Will By No Means Pass Away

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away – Matthew 24:35 (NKJV)

“Nothing lasts forever.” We have become so used to the reality of this cliche that we have many times, even as Christians, unconsciously applied this earthly maxim to eternal things.

But Jesus would have us remember that, yes, heaven and earth shall pass away; nothing in this world lasts forever. Cars and carpet, bodies and bank accounts, hobbies and holidays — all eventually break up or break down. The things we strive for and try to obtain mean nothing when we are finally called to the Lord. Egyptians used to want to be buried with their belongings in the afterlife. Are we that different these days?

Even nations and world powers rise and fall over time. Did you know there is not a single world government still in power today that existed when the United States was formed? As young as this
country is, it is already the oldest living government on the planet!

Heaven and earth shall pass away, Jesus says, but my words shall not pass away. God’s words and God’s works will still stand when the earth is on fire. You perhaps will agree to the point Jesus is making, but does the reality Jesus is highlighting infuse your decision-making with an eternal perspective and priority? In other words, do you live as if everything in this world is momentary and God’s promises are everlasting?

If your joy, fulfillment, or comfort is found in your youth… what about when you get old? If it comes from your wealth… what happens when you become poor or too sick to enjoy it? What if your happiness comes from popular? When you friends move on will you  turn to the Lord? Have you turned to Him throughout your life for happiness?

Brothers and sisters in Christ, NOTHING lasts forever, except everything that I do and say, Jesus reminds us. May this reality be reflected this day in everything we do and say.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. – Matthew 6:12

“Forgive us as we forgive others,” Jesus tells us to pray. Imagine if you have a hard time forgiving someone who has "wronged" you. Now imgaine if THAT person had an even tougher time forgiving you. And so on and so on. The world would be a pretty miserable place to live with everyone wandering around dragging a cart full of sins and unforgivness in their hearts. Have you taken your sin (debt) to God in prayer today? Have you forgiven others as you yourself hope to be forgiven? Why should ANYONE forgive you if you aren't willing to forgive others?

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:32 (NKJV)

Come love the Lord and His forgiveness at Cross Pointe Baptist Church
