Interpreting Your Life

Be intentional about feeding your mind with the Word of God.

by Samuel Burger

deliver God’s word every week, and it’s important for me to interpret the Word of God through the proper context. From an objective standpoint, there has to be one interpretation God wants to deliver through a particular passage of scripture. It’s my responsibility every week to rely upon the Holy Spirit to rightly divide the word of truth. If I have the wrong interpretation, then my attitude and application to life will be skewed. However, the Bible isn’t the only book that needs proper interpretation. Our life needs proper interpretation. Your interpretation of life will either give you hope or despair. Everything that happens to us needs to be viewed in light of what God says. Remember, it’s not what happens to us that affects us; it’s how we interpret what happens to us. Are you ready for a life change? Interpret your failures, mistakes, and sins through the eternal plan of God. Romans 8:28 says, “And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.” Philippians 1:6 says, “I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return].” God has a plan and a purpose for your life, but your interpretation of your life must agree with these verses. We have all failed, but we must look at our shortcomings through the interpretation of redemption. We don’t look through this lens to continue in sin but to instill in ourselves hope, so even in our mess, we can rely upon a perfect God. This lens gives us the confidence we need and makes us God-conscious

6 // July 2016

and not sin-conscious. The more you focus on your shortcomings the more you will come short. But if you focus on what God says, your life will align with His will! Your interpretation is a result of your focus. There will always be a daily battle to counter faulty interpretations. Paul gives this admonishment in Romans 12:2: “And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed [and progressively changed as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you]”(KJV). Your mind needs to be reminded daily of God’s Word because according to Scripture, your mind is being saved. Your mind isn’t full of heaven, so you need to be intentional about feeding your mind with the Word of God. Always remember hopeless situations only need a different interpretation based on God’s Word.

Summer Olympic Craft for Kids

by Danielle Jennings

elieve it or not, kids think the Olympics are really cool. In fact, for most children, watching the Olympics can spark a desire for what they want to be when they grow up. Each Olympic athlete knows just how important it is to strive for the gold medal. In fact, Olympians go into each activity in the Olympics vying for the most prized gold medal. Each Olympic year, the medals are intricately designed. Below are the directions to make a child’s very own gold medals at home and decorating them as the child wishes!

What you will need:

• Wide mouth Mason jar lids (just the flat lids, not the rims) • Gold and or silver spray paint • Hole punch (a regular hole punch will punch through the lid) • Ribbon cut to 30-inch length • Stapler • Black Sharpie

8 // July 2016

What to do:

• First, lay out the flat Mason jar lids so that they will not stick together. • Spray paint the top layer of the lids until you get a shiny gold finish. • Allow those to dry over night. • Next, hole punch the lids right below where the lid dips in. • Put one end of the ribbon through the hole on the lid and staple the ends of the ribbon together. • Finally, have the kids draw or write what they want to decorate their medal with! (Stickers could work too).

Danielle Jennings is the director of children’s ministry at Ooltewah United Methodist. She is a graduate of Lee University and is currently working on her master’s degree. Her passion is working with children and helping them succeed.

Gò0dNews on Money Matters

Pride and Prejudice

Our attitudes toward money (or the lack of money) often define us in ways we may not realize.

by Andrew Lee

y title for this month’s column recalls the British novel by Jane Austen. Money and socioeconomic class played a major role in that novel with characters fretting about not having enough money to impress their neighbors and looking down on those whom they view as their socioeconomic inferiors. In other words, not much has changed in the past two centuries from Georgian-era England to modern American society. I recently read Robert Kiyosaki’s book from the 1990s titled Rich Dad, Poor Dad, describing how the author learned about money from two dads during his childhood. His poor dad was his biological father who raised him, and his rich dad was actually his best friend’s father, a small business owner and landlord. I was surprised to notice that the poor dad in the book was a tenured college professor like me, but after reading the book I realized I had more in common with the rich dad regarding money and wealth-building. One of the statements I agree with in Kiyosaki’s book is that one should build assets before taking on more liabilities, ideally use the surplus from the assets to pay for the liabilities. For instance, if someone really wants to buy a new car (which decreases in value from the moment it is bought), one should use the profits from investment assets (like the dividends from stocks or the rent from properties owned) to purchase the liability instead of making weekly or monthly payments. The reason most people do this refers back to my title for this column. Our pride demands that we have what we want now and not delay our gratification; likewise, our prejudice is our belief that we can’t save and pay cash for a car because

10 // July 2016

“We’ll always have a car payment.” My thirteen-year-old son Samuel recently participated in a Stock Market Challenge game with his eighth-grade business class. He was given only sixteen days to earn the highest return from picking stocks on line. It would be fun to watch him track the market’s ups and downs, but I was anxious because the pressure was on. If he didn’t win the game, how would we ever live down the shame and biting irony of the defeat? I reminded Samuel that if this were real money, he should research stocks of quality companies and then be patient for at least a decade as the value of the stocks rose slowly over time, including reinvestment of dividends. But this wasn’t real money, and he didn’t have ten years; he had only sixteen days. That meant we had to do what wise investing would dictate—we had to gamble! We Googled to find out which small, company stocks had the most volatile price swings. He then bought those penny stocks, which sold for only a couple of dollars per share. If we were lucky, the prices might surge upward within a day or a week, where he might earn fifty percent return and cash out for the remainder of the contest. As is often the case with gambling, we guessed wrong, and he ended with a lower balance than when he began. The scary thing is that we know some real-life day traders who gamble on penny stocks every day with real money, and they always lose much more than they win. Pride and prejudice is alive and well today¾not merely a relic of the past. Dr. Andrew Lee is professor of English at Lee University. He also serves as a coordinator for Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University. He and his wife Esmerelda have three children.

Gò0dNews for Men

Are You “Worth Your Salt”?

Real men crave challenges that push them to the limit. Their goals demand extreme self-discipline, and their objectives transcend the ordinary. In every arena of life, those fulfilling these criteria often become our heroes, leaders, and role models.

by Mike Shreve

hen Jesus challenged His followers to be “the salt of the earth,” He was setting the bar high for twelve men responding to His call (see Matt. 5:13). They could have been satisfied fishing or collecting taxes the rest of their lives, but their hearts cried out for more. They became the spiritual revolutionaries of their day who overthrew the tyranny of lifeless religious tradition and were used of God to launch a New Covenant that has since gone global. Now in this hour of social, political, and religious turmoil, God is again searching for extraordinary individuals who will go radical with their Christianity by becoming “salt.” To comprehend this, we need to explore the unique attributes of this substance: Salt is an agent of change—It alters the condition or taste of whatever it contacts. So true disciples always bring positive change to this world. Salt is a symbol of grace— Colossians 4:6 says, “Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one (NKJV).” Believers speaking grace-filled words transform others. Salt is an antiseptic with germ-killing properties—It halts the progress of infections. Those

12 // July 2016

who fulfill this calling help stop the progress of the contagious disease of sin. Salt is a cleansing agent—When subjected to electrolysis, it breaks into two parts—sodium (used for soap), and chloride (used for whitening or purifying). So those who are “broken” before the Lord become His spiritual cleansing agents (see Matthew 21:44). Through them, others are compelled to repent, and stained hearts are cleansed and purified. Salt is a food preservative—So “salty” believers are used of God to preserve biblical truth in a society that often has a rottening effect. Jesus explained that true disciples “bear a cross” and “forsake all.” Then He added: “Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned?” (Luke 14:27; 33-34 NKJV) So the ‘flavor’ of a real Christian is total consecration. President Teddy Roosevelt once offered: “No man is worth his salt who is not ready at all times to risk his well-being, to risk his body, to risk his life, in a great cause.” This phrase, “worth his salt,” is a cliché tracing back to the practice of Roman soldiers sometimes being paid with salt instead of money. Back then, if you were a loyal, fierce fighter on the battlefield, you were worth your salt. Altering this quote slightly, let it be said: “No Christian man [or woman] is worth his salt (the application of grace to his life) unless he courageously sacrifices himself for the supreme cause of the establishment of God’s kingdom.” For the sake of our nation and our loved ones, let’s accept this challenge today!

Mike Shreve has been teaching God’s Word since 1971. He has authored fourteen books, including a series on the names and titles of God called “Our Glorious Inheritance.” In July, a new book on this subject will be released titled “WHO AM I? Dynamic Declarations of Who You Are in Christ.” He and his wife, Elizabeth, pastor The Sanctuary in Cleveland, Tennessee.

The Dance

A successful lifetime of love requires that couples risk vulnerability and personal response.

by Beth Houle

his weekend I was watching the old Disney movie “Beauty and the Beast” with my kids. As you may remember, Belle volunteers to be imprisoned by the Beast to take the place of her father. As time passes, there are scenes of Belle and Beast arguing, being miserable, tempers flaring, and truly a sense of being stuck or imprisoned. Belle eventually tries to escape and is nearly killed in the woods, only for Beast to come to her rescue. She then doctors his injuries, and a bond forms between them and a sense of safety created. Their relationship climaxes as they share moments of snowball fights, reading together, and finally dancing together in the ballroom while the music plays softly and tenderly in the background. OK, so let’s ignore the parts where a woman is forced to be in a relationship with a man and ultimately changes him from a scary angry beast to a gentle, loving man for a moment—(that is a post for another day). As I watched the movie, I thought about the dance of our relationships. Many romantic relationships start out beautiful, idealistic, and full of hopes and dreams as the two in the relationship dance across the ballroom floor in what appears to be perfect sync with one another. Time passes and it is as if someone changed the music. They begin stepping on each other’s toes, moving in different directions, and feeling

14 // July 2016

imprisoned by the relationship that they once thought was a fairy tale. What happened? How did this couple begin to misstep? Who changed the music? The truth is that no one changed the music. The music has been the same all along. There is just more noise in the room as time passes for the couple¾the noise of financial struggle, children, infertility, illness, work hassles, or job loss. It gets hard to hear one another or the music in the noisy room so we begin to misstep. It’s too hard to hear . . . too distracting. So they begin to stumble, move apart, and at times even give up or look for another partner to dance with. There is generally one question that sums up all the other questions between a couple. The magical question is this: “Are you there for me? If I need you, will you respond?” In this magical dance of a couple, a successful lifetime of love requires vulnerability and personal response. If there were an invisible rope between you and one partner pulled on the rope, would the other partner feel it? Or is there too much slack in the rope, would they notice the movement. Freud said, “We are never as vulnerable as when we are in love.” This vulnerability and response takes work. It takes trial and error, and it takes patience. Sometimes, it takes help from a professional, but it is worth it. Imagine being able to move again in sync with one another, to anticipate each other’s moves even though the room is noisy and you can barely hear the music playing. The lyrics to “Beauty and the Beast” are still under copy right and cannot be printed without special permission and cost; however, you can go to You Tube, sing along with the tune, step to the rhythm, and find that you can dance!

Green Salad It’s Just a Salad

by John C. Mannone

ettuce. Empty a spring mix into a salad bowl, a great variety in every shade with every texture

from soft baby greens to parsleys and curly kales of forest green; arugula and radicchio red with the crunch of romaine and crispy icebergs. Blend of peppery plants like mustard leaf and mesclun with hyssop petals will enhance the salad flavors. Toss the ingredients together. But first, before their baptism, extra virgin (the purest) olive oil and red wine vinegar to wash. There should be no sprinkling of granulated garlic. Use only fresh cloves, cleaved and pressed into oil and infused with a gift of herbs: some sweet, others bitter, savory, picante; some floral, pungent, earthy. These are the salt of the earth, but add the salt of the sea, too. Crush them between your fingers, merging together the fennel seeds and thyme, rosemary, and marjoram, with a bit of basil and flakes of parsley and red pepper. Add coarse black pepper, too. No tears, just life’s spices. The oil alone cannot coax the joy out of the herbs; some acid is always needed. Vinegar and oil can mix when shaken together. Now spread the shaken liquid and herbs over the greens. Toss thoroughly, yet with gentleness of wooden spoons, (not the shiny metal ones.) Mix until every piece of lettuce is anointed with this oil and vinegar—a gladness to the palate. They are now ready to serve. This food poem is a metaphor for the church. Originally published in the Tupelo Press 30/30 Project, it was shared at a picnic in Athens Regional Park where nearly seventy picnickers attended (ten churches and their pastors). This is the way the body of Christ should be gathered together—desegregated—loving each other and serving Him. The great Irish metaphysical poet, John Donne, said “No man is an island.” We need

each other. And Saint Paul was not just talking about church services when he commanded we should “not forsake our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encourage one another; and all the more as you see the Day approaching” (see Heb 10:25). Remember, there is one faith, one body, one baptism, one Lord above all (see Eph 4:5 ). Let’s enjoy each other and the salad! Green Salad 5 oz. spring mix or any variety of leafy greens 2-3 cloves fresh garlic, peeled (use quality herbs such as Penzeys Spices) 1 tsp. fennel seeds, crushed between fingers 1 tsp. parsley flakes ½ tsp. (each) thyme, marjoram, rosemary ¼ tsp. red pepper flakes (optional) 3 oz. extra virgin olive oil (Colavita) 1 oz. Champagne Wine Vinegar (Colavita)Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste Prepare the vinaigrette in advance (few hours to overnight). In the bottom of a one half cup spice bottle, place all the herbs (except salt and black pepper) and garlic pressed with a garlic press (keep what remains in the strainer, too). Follow with olive oil and then the vinegar. Screw down the lid and shake well. Let sit at room temperature or in a cool place (few hours or overnight). When ready, empty salad greens into a large bowl, grind the sea s a l t a n d c o a r s e black pepper, pour dressing as desired, and toss well. Serves 5.

to use while their machine is being fixed. They have specific newer models of the equipment that they keep simply to loan out while the customer’s machine is being worked on, and they are usually better models than what the customer brought in. They aim to keep the customer cutting and this service insures that the customers have no downtime between mows or trims. B&B Tractor also offers demonstrations of the fall and winter, the spring and summer bring in booming business through both personal lawn care buyers and professional lawn care providers. Their company is different from other companies of its kind by providing Exmark and STIHL products. Exmark and STIHL only provides independent businesses with their products. With this advantage, they also house a large parts inventory, with more parts than any of its competitors in the area. The employees at B&B Tractor also pride themselves in knowing how to fix the problems that customers bring in and providing their customers with quick services. If they are able to fix the problem in fifteen or twenty minutes, they make it a point of fixing it right then so that the customer does not need to make a second trip into the store. They also have impressive financial offers with low interest five year terms and 0% down policies.

Charles delivers about 50% of the purchases to the customers’ homes and will also give them demonstrations and tips when he drops the machines off to them. All equipment comes fully assembled and ready to use, and their staff will service your equipment as long as you own your Exmark and STIHL pieces. B&B Tractor has won the Top Ten in Sales for Mowers in 2012, 2014, and 2015. These wins come as no surprise when their employees are dedicated to more than just the gear they provide. As committed as they are to quality, they are equally committed to quality of life. They focus on getting to know the customers that come into their shop and they keep customers coming back by getting to know the customers they have.

STIHL is America’s #1 selling brand of gasoline-powered handheld outdoor power equipment. STIHL believes in the productivity of America and that is why the majority of their products are built in America. The Americans who work with STIHL products are proudly joining other U.S. Manufactures in rebuilding the country’s economy one mower, edger, or blower at a time. The employees at B&B Tractor aim to repair any equipment bought there within a couple of days and if the procedure will take longer, then they provide the customer with a newer demo unit

Gò0dNews for Parents

When Kids Blow It

The old saying goes, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” That may be true, but sometimes, you’d swear it rolled way, way downhill.

by John Garrod

hose occasions arise where we get that call. On the other end is a school administrator, and they’re not calling to tell you what a stellar child you have. No, not this time. Maybe Johnny got in a fight, or little Jill turned in a bad report card signed as “Jill’s Mommy.” (Don’t laugh, we’ve had all kinds of things happen with six kids!) At any rate, it’s not going to be a proud parent moment when you have to go pick them up. My gut reaction then is what I call the “4R Approach.” It’s not pretty, but it’s what comes to me naturally. First, there’s Rant and Rave. “How could you do this? Do you know how embarrassing this is? What were you thinking?” Then there’s Restrict. “You’re grounded-forever! No phone! No TV! No going over to your friend’s house!” And in severe cases, there’s what I’ll call Readjust. I’ll just say it involves application of pressure to the “seat” of the problem. But I need to add another R to my process— Rebuild. It’s important to the spiritual growth of our children that they know that there is hope beyond the fall. As I walked with one of my children after an episode of bad judgment, I asked him who Moses was. “He led the nation of Israel out of captivity,” he answered. I asked him about David. Predictably, he cited the victory over Goliath, and his reign as King. The apostle Paul? He wrote most of the New Testament and spread the gospel. All true, of course. But then there’s the rest of the story. I pointed out that Moses was a murderer, hiding in exile, before God called him to lead Israel. David, a man after God’s own

22 // July 2016

heart, had an affair with a married woman and arranged the murder of her husband. Paul held the coats of men who stoned Stephen to death for preaching the Gospel. They all had their own dark days, too. But then God . . . God’s not done with us just because we blow it. We’re all prone to sin, but He is the Restorer. I’m quick to remember when ministering to adults that sometimes I forget that my most vital mission field is in my living room. “We have all sinned, and fallen short of the Glory of God” (Rom. 3:23 NIV). “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus,” we’re promised in Romans 6:23 (NIV). Our children must know that promise, that there is restoration in that a Way extends itself to our feet even before we stumble. Discipline without that hope leaves them with nothing but despair, and that is not the plan of Christ. Love them through and beyond the sin; it’s what was done for us, too.

John Garrod is a father of six, husband of one, Army veteran, and a resident of Tennessee for the past four years. He is a member at South Cleveland Church of God.

Blame Summer

Finding creative ways to keep a healthy schedule

by Andrew Shaffer

t started when the weather began warming up and cookout weather began. I knew it was coming. School ended and things really got out of hand with no real schedule other than whatever was on tap for the day. Obviously, vacation got special treatment because calories don’t count, and who wants to work out at the beach? It’s really hot, so floating in the lake counts as exercise . . . right? Throw a mission trip/camp or two where food is food in any form, even if only mildly edible. And here we are barreling into August, eating terribly, with zero workout schedule, and even less motivation. Plus, it’s hot! Did I mention that? We may have taken some half-hearted preventative measures—like saying we would do better this summer, or looking up the healthy burger recipes in magazines or web sites. But then we ate entirely too much of those healthy recipes and washed them down with too much of our favorite lighter beverages. Now, we tell ourselves we’ll start over when the kids start back to school. No way! We’ll be tired then. With early mornings for school, late nights for homework, and it’s still way too hot. So what to do? We could lie around in the air conditioning and lament our current state, but then we’d be no better off than we are (aside from a bit cooler).

24 // July 2016

First, we plan! We plan our food. We say, “I’ll have only one burger,” and stick to it. We plan not to get the towering fried-onion monster, because it’s gross. We plan to eat fruit, to drink water first, and in copious amounts, which by itself will be surprisingly effective. We plan to get up! We plan, we schedule, and we stick to the plan—no ifs, ands, or buts. We conquer the nefarious plans summer has set in motion to transform us into slovenly layabouts. We consider the time and trips ahead of us and work in nonnegotiable active time. We use church as the reset point for each week (for real, and it works). We include a daily run or walk at the beach. It’s super great for us. We take the kids hiking (it’s educational and they get worn-out too). We unearth downtime and hit the gym, playground, and indiscriminate green space. We refuse to make excuses because we need this. Sure, it’s hot—get out and enjoy it, or get out early or late enough to avoid the heat. Either way, sweat! It’s good for you. We’ve developed a plan and we’re in the mindset. Now we recruit help! We find others who can motivate and inspire us and vice versa. We develop a schedule together. We promise the kids we’ll do something because they will never forget. We find those people who will shame us until we are properly motivated, and we get to it together. Blame summer because it’s hot. Blame summer because there’s no school. Blame summer because everyone vacates town and there’s no one to hang out with. Then show summer who’s boss.
