Ministry is…

August 24, 2012 by Fritz

“See, I have called by name Bezaleel …And I have filled him with the spirit of God … To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass …” – Exodus 31:1-4″

“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; — Colossians 3:23

My job is my ministry. Christ removes the divide between the secular and the sacred.

Just like Bezaleel of old, God fills us with his Holy Spirit to work — and that’s our ministry to Christ and his creation.

Question:How would your job change if you did it as your ministry?

Walking on Water With Jesus

July 18, 2012 by Fritz

Jumping out of the boat, Peter walked on the water to Jesus. But when he looked down at the waves churning beneath his feet, he lost his nerve and started to sink. He cried, “Master, save me! – Matthew 14:29-30 (MESSAGE)

It was night and the weather was storming! The disciples were in danger, barely making any progress, barely staying afloat when Jesus comes walking by on the water on foot. They were terrified thinking it was a ghost, wouldn’t you?

Peter sceptically said, “If you’re for real then let me do it, too!”

“Come on!”, Jesus said and Peter walked on water. Metaphorically so do we.

Events and problems swarm around us threatening to capsize and drown. Jesus is there, barely visible through the haze, undisturbed by the commotion. He’s not a ghost, not a make-believe deity. He tell us we can be safe with him through it all — all we have to do is abandon our trust in the boat and go with him.

When walking with him, however, don’t expect the wind to stop or the water to thicken. Keep focused on his call and his care; it’s all there for the asking.
