How many of you have seen the movie “Supersize Me!” At his own risk, Morgan Spurlock wrote the script and underwent an experiment to eat three meals a day at McDonalds for 30 days, without eating their salads. After a doctor’s checkup and approval, he began his journey. If the McDonald’s employee asked if he wanted his order supersized, he had to take it. The results were disastrous to his health!

Why disciple others to follow Jesus, instead of Truth principles?

Alertness. We looked at alertness to Truth last Sunday, because mainline Christianity is falling away from it! I am concerned about Christians being pulled into the Christian Science, Mormon, and Jehovah Witness cults (among others), because those are obviously false doctrines. But for those in Protestantism who are compromising Truth, the drift is often more subtle. Do you know of churches that have moved away from Truth? How about denominations? What about Christians who professed Jesus and pursued following His Lordship, but allowed some intense suffering, mistreatment from leadership at church, or an unfair situation to cause them to depart from Jesus? Why did it happen? Because our minds and flesh like to explore new things and deceiving spirits like to fill up that desire. My friends, purity of Truth is essential, because what percentage of poison is in d-CON? Only 2 %. But unless we love each other, we’ll never be able to lead each other to the Truth.

Alertness. Alertness is one of the most important concepts of your life. When I was going through my flight training, my reflexes and coordination were not alert to what winds could do to that TH55 (training helicopter). We called it the “eggbeater,” because it beat us up. After I soloed, I was often by myself, which meant I no longer had an IP (instructor pilot) there to take hold of the controls. I had to be alert.

Would you agree with me it has been a long winter? Would you agree that there has been enough sickness for two years? This season has been a test to see if our lives as Christians will show the world that “Jesus is totally sufficient,” and that our joy is in Him, not circumstances. Two weeks ago, we examined 1 Timothy 3:14-15,

My Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, is here in our midst. I wish He would tell you how much He loves you, but today, He’s asked me to do it. I don’t understand why, because He could assemble some rocks and they could do a much better job than I, but He chose the plan. When I think of the holiness of Jesus, I think, “In my sins and struggles, what am I doing here?” He could have used some of His holy angels from Michael and Gabriel’s army and they’d do a much better job, but He chose the plan. Yes, I wish He was physically here! We’d be amazed at His presence, His words and His truth. Continue reading
