The Big Picture

“God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.” Genesis 1:31

Beloved brothers and sisters, God uses everything in and around us to convey His message.  This past weekend, my family celebrated the graduation of my youngest daughter from college.  Sitting in the SMU Moody coliseum listening as former President George W. Bush spoke to the graduates, the Holy Spirit quickened a message on the power of a vision.

The power of a vision is what propels and keeps you grounded from point A to point B.  Vision can be articulated as the ability to see the end. It is the ability to see the completion of something. The word of God tells us that without this type of seeing people perish (Proverbs 29:11).  God gave us a template in the power of a vision. In Genesis 1:31, after God had created everything, He saw the completion of humanity. The Bible records that God saw it was very good.  Despite all that would happen, after  creation in Genesis, God saw the end of the story. God saw the redemption of humanity through His beloved Son-Jesus Christ.

My youngest daughter saw herself as an engineer way before she became one. However, she carried that vision in her and allowed the power of the vision to propel her despite the price of the vision. My wife and I had a vision for our family, way before our daughters came. We had a vision for a faith legacy for our family. We had a vision to train, nurture, equip and pastor our daughters’ hearts to a place where they could know God for themselves and follow Jesus with their own faith in who He is to them. We had a vision that their God given talents will unfold, flourish and be used for God’s glory.  Through years of raising each of them until the fruition of the vision, my wife and I kept that vision alive.

To complete her senior year for graduation, my youngest had to do a one-year team senior capstone design project.  The team was tasked with creating a search and rescue unmanned aerial channel that was capable of Wi-Fi communication, and tracking infrared signals. As one of the mechanical engineers on the team, my daughter’s assignment was to design housing for electrical components that will be inserted into the nose of the glider along with an inertial measurement units data fusing filter for sourcing position data. Despite all what her and her team had to go through, they kept the vision of the completed project alive.
 
Dear brothers and sisters, how do you keep the vision God has given you alive? Following God’s template in His word, the vision is kept alive by seeing the big picture.  Being able to see the big picture enables us to be unshakeable as we work towards the fruition of the vision. God is always faithful; He will do what only He can do. Now beloved, do what only you can do.  Be encouraged and keep that vision God has given you alive!

God’s Kind of Math

Beloved brothers and sisters, as followers of Christ we know first hand the essence of the fight of faith.  Apostle Paul encouraged Timothy to fight the good fight of faith (I Timothy 6:12a) so that the truth of the Gospel that was been resisted in Timothy’s culture would continue with followers of Christ.   It does not take a rocket scientist to know we are at this same place of culture war in America -our culture is at odds with the truth of the Gospel.  Though this is not new to us, we are at a place in this  schism that we have never been before.

Who would ever have thought, that a time would come in the history of this great nation, that the very fundamental truth of marriage would be debated in the highest court of law.  The fact of the matter is that no human court can ever debate the truth of God’s word.  God’s word is everlasting and carries the final authority that no court ruling can re-define.

God’s vision for marriage made Genesis 2:22 a reality.  It states, “Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.”  God had a plan already set for marriage.  Later in the New Testament, we see God’s kind of math further explained.  Matthew 19:5 show us this amazing design for marriage. “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”  Every single word in this verse means exactly what God intended and it paints the picture of His plan for marriage. 

Many generals of faith have examined all that is at stake in the upcoming ruling of the Supreme Court on marriage.  Yes, there is more at stake for followers of Christ. There is the issue of religious freedom threatened to the very core of why this great nation was founded in 1776.  God has commissioned these generals of faith to make a bold declaration on where the body of Christ stands on this issue.  A friend of ours who is familiar with our passion for family and marriage shared the “Defend Biblical Marriage” pledge with us last week. This pledge represents the voice of Christ’s ambassadors that we stand by the word of God no matter what happens. Brothers and sisters I encourage you to sign the pledge and passionately pray for this great nation for an awakening of the infallible truth of God’s word. My wife and I have signed the marriage pledge and I know many great men and women of God have done the same.  To sign the pledge, go to  Defend Biblical Marriage
. Tell your friends and let’s multiple our voice as Christ’s ambassadors.

When I think of God’s kind of math, I am thankful beyond words. My exquisite wife, mother of my three daughters is a gift from God. She is a woman of God, woman of purpose, and a Proverbs 31 woman. This year, I get the distinct honor of celebrating twenty-five incredible years of God’s kind of math with her. This month of May, we celebrate my Queen’s birth to this world, her amazing motherhood to our daughters who are living epistles of God’s goodness in addition to the graduation of my youngest daughter from college. Testifying  to the faithfulness of God, His kind of math is accurate.
