    A Time to Pause – Sat – 23-05-13

    The writer of Ecclesiastes was incredibly wise. He recorded a great observation in chapter 3 verses 1-2, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot.” (NIV 1984) Over two years ago, it was a time to start this podcast. Everyone needed encouragement. We were reeling from the pandemic, suffering through hyper-partisan news cycles and watching political leaders radicalize and divide people. I started the podcast to encourage others and spark their faith in Jesus. Today, the pandemic is over. Yes, the hyper-partisan media and radical politics remain. But it is no longer time to start. It is time for a change. After more than 800 daily episodes, it is time to pause the podcast. It is time for me to step away to evaluate, recharge and plan the future. I don’t know how long the pause will be. It could be a few weeks, maybe a few months. If you’d like an email notice when the podcast resumes, go to www.sparkingfaith.com/feedback.

    An old chorus goes “I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart. Where? Down in my heart.” It’s a peppy little tune. Each verse adds some words, making it fun and challenging to sing. Another verse goes “I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in the depths of my heart.” How’s your joy today? Do you have it deep in your heart? Is it there to stay? Remember, Joy is not happiness. Happiness depends on circumstances. If you get a raise at work, you are happy. No raise? You’re not happy. Lose your job? You are unhappy. But joy can exist through each of these circumstances. It comes from within us and doesn’t depend on external things. Couldn’t we each use more joy in these times? How can we find joy? Listen to Jesus’ words recorded in John 15:10-12, “If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.” (NIV 1984) Jesus tells us that the route to complete joy is to love others with the same type of unselfish love he expresses for us. Want some joy? Love others as Jesus has loved us.

    We live in a crazy, mixed-up, broken world. Just look at some of the things that happened in the United States this past year. Men who think they are women demand to participate in women’s sports and change clothes in women’s locker rooms. And they are celebrated for doing so. Schools and libraries expose children to sexualized drag shows. Teachers allow students to act as the opposite gender while keeping it secret from their parents. Doctors cut off the gender-specific body parts of boys and girls who suffer from gender dysphoria. Many people demand the right to abort a child at any point during pregnancy. OF course, these are the most extreme forms of brokenness we see. We don’t even blink any more at people who insist on sexual expression outside of God’s design for marriage. Or at the vitriol and hatred people spew on social media. We’ve even come to expect increasing crime in our streets. Would you call this world loving? Probably not. But the real question is whether we are loving. 1 Corinthians 13:6 says, “Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.” (NIV 1984) It is not enough for us to shun the evil in this world. True love rejoices with the truth. I like the idea of rejoicing, don’t you? In the face of a broken world, love others by rejoicing in the truth.
