Reason To Believe-God’s Control Over the Weather
john : June 9, 2016 5:54 pm : John Shirk, Staff PagesJOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Exploration, today’s Reason to Believe is God’s control over the weather.
The disciples responded with awe and amazement when they realized that Jesus could settle a violent storm at the command of His word.
In Matthew chapter 8, they were in a boat when they encountered a furious storm. The waves swept over the boat, and the disciples feared that they would drown. They cried out to Jesus, “Lord, save us!” Jesus rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
The disciples responded to the sudden change in the atmosphere with these words, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”
This puts Jesus in a completely different category from everybody else. None of us can control the weather. It takes a Divine presence to guide the path of the thunderstorm or calm the raging sea. Jesus has that authority.
His command over the weather is a reason to believe in God’s good news.

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Q and A Segment explores the question, “Why do the nations rage?”
This question is raised in Psalm 2.
Verse 2 offers the response to this question. This is what the New Living Translation says, “The kings of the earth prepare for battle; the rulers plot together against the LORD and against his anointed one.” They cry, “Let us break their chains, and free ourselves from slavery to God.”
There is a prophetic picture here showing what happens when the leaders of the nations rebel against the authority of God. There is a surge of anger, and that anger is directed against God. What they think leads to freedom actually takes their rage to a boiling point. God responds with His rebuke and terrifies the nations with His fierce fury. He will not be mocked or dethroned.
Psalm 2 can help us avoid this fate by responding favorably to the Lord’s authority. Verse 11 says, “serve the LORD with reverent fear, and rejoice with trembling.” Verse 12 adds, “What joy for all who take refuge in him!”
Under God’s authority, there is joy, peace, and liberty in the Year of Exploration.

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Q and A Segment explores the question, “What does it mean for our bodies to be temples of the Holy Spirit?”
This reference is found in First Corinthians 6:19, which says, “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.”
A temple is a place of worship, so in reality, when we become followers of Jesus, our bodies become sacred houses of worship. How then, can we honor God with our body?
This passage specifically is referring to fleeing immoral conduct. It can also refer to how we use the various parts of our body to honor God. With our eyes, we fix our faith on Jesus. With our ears, we listen attentively to His word. With our heart, we desire to love Jesus and know Him better with every passing day. With our mind, we set our thoughts on things above, not on earthly things. With our hands, we serve in Jesus’ name. With our feet, we go to where He sends us to share His gospel.
These are some of the ways we can honor God with our body in the Year of Exploration.

Reason To Believe-Conversion of the Apostle Paul
john : June 2, 2016 3:28 pm : John Shirk, Staff PagesJOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Exploration, today’s Reason to Believe is the conversion of the Apostle Paul.
Before knowing Christ, Paul had reasons to put confidence in his flesh. He was a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for legalistic righteousness, faultless. This was a man who had religion, but no relationship with Jesus. Then he met Jesus on the way to Damascus, and Paul was changed forever.
He says in Philippians 3:7, “Whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.”
Paul might have lost confidence in his own credentials, but he gained a relationship with Jesus through faith, and that relationship became his greatest treasure, highest ambition, and source of confidence. From that point on, his boast would be in the Lord.
The conversion of Paul shows us that with Christ’s help, people can change. His conversion is a reason to believe in God’s good news.
