  • How to Share the Truth in a Storm

    How to Share the Truth in a Storm

    By Gareth Maggs.

    I wonder if there is any harder conversation to have than one on suffering? As I’m writing this, I have a list of more than 10 people in my head who are struggling through hard times and I’d love to share with them the truth of the Gospel. Yet I’m afraid of doing it. I’m sure I’m not the only one in this boat. How do we share the Gospel to those who are hurting?

    As South Africans we’re facing a recession, we’re worried about our government, woman are being raped or killed and while divorce rates are going up, employment rates are going down. Oversees people are marking ‘safe’ on Facebook because of terrorism, while other countries are facing severe natural disasters. These macro issues alone are enough for me to write this blog, yet we can’t ignore the micro issues which certainly aren’t small. Many reading this will know of friends who are facing deep personal struggles. In Christ we have a hope which these people need to hear about and what’s standing in the way is our inability to speak to them.

    Here’s some tips to help you share the truth in the midst of struggle.

    1. Pray first and continue to pray

    The biggest fears we face in sharing the good news with anyone seems to always revolve around us. ‘What will I say?’, ‘What will they think of me?’, ‘Will I know the answers to their questions?’, ‘Will they still be friends with me after the conversation?’. Prayer reminds us that it’s not about us, it’s about God. We need to rely on God to speak and on God to act. We are nothing but a vessel for sharing the good news.

    2. Listen, listen and listen some more

    I once heard it said that people are like balloons with their judgment in the centre. When they are struggling, the balloon starts to fill with questions, angers, doubts, fears and a whole range of other emotions. Before you can get them to think about what you have to say, you have to deflate that balloon and clear the person of all that is clouding their judgment. Listening is the best way of doing that. Let them speak and if you feel the need to talk, make sure your words are probing questions that get them to share more. Once you have received all the facts, only then should you speak in order to not sound foolish (Proverbs 18:13)

    3. Strive for Christ-likeness

    In the book of Ephesians Pauls calls fellow believers to ‘Walk in love’ in the same way Christ did when he gave his life for us (Ephesians 5:1 – 2). Christ’s sacrificial death is the ultimate way of serving another. Imagine how many of those close to you would listen to you if you walked in love? If you were known as the person who continually served by putting others before yourself. Firstly, they would likely want to share their struggles with you as they’ve seen evidence that you care about others, and secondly, they may be more open to your Gospel answer because they’ve seen it displayed in you.

    4. Make Christ the centre of your conversation

    Often when we help those in need we appear like we are from the TV series ‘Touched by an Angel’. We tell people ‘God loves you’ without really showing the extent of his love. Nothing says I love you more than the cross. The cross both shows the lengths to which God went for us and shows that he too suffered like us. We might not be able to give a reason as to why the person is suffering, but we can bring a lot of comfort through the Gospel. The Gospel is where we find God living and breathing as a human being, experiencing our day to day struggles. He lost friends (John 11), suffered temptation (Luke 4) and experienced financial difficulty (Isaiah 53:2). The Gospel is where we see God lose his only child. The Gospel is where we see God experience the pain of death The Gospel is what gets rid of the sin separating us from God so that we can walk with him and know that one day we will be with him forever in a place of no pain.

    5. Set the pace by the person you are talking to

    You may feel the need to jump in with the Gospel the moment someone mentions that they are struggling. This may work, but in my experience, people often dismiss the truth. This could be for many reasons; they haven’t felt heard, they’re not in a place to hear an answer, they don’t know you well enough, they have too many questions. Depending on the person, it may be good to start slow. I.e. you could start with a few casual chats and then move into listening to them before sharing the Gospel. However, it is important that you do eventually give the Gospel. You have the ultimate cure for their suffering, it would be a waste if you didn’t give it.

    6. Be in God’s Word

    We fear we won’t know what to say when we’re dealing with someone struggling. Yes, the Lord will work in us with his Holy Spirit, but nowhere in the bible does that give us the excuse to slack off. While God is the one who ultimately does the converting, he still uses us as a tool. If we do not take God’s word seriously in our lives, then we might not only say false things about Christ, but we may not have an answer when we are questioned. Love God’s word, take every opportunity you can to learn more about it through getting more involved in church, learning from older Christians and reading good books. If we do this, then the Holy Spirit will have a fair amount of our knowledge and experiences to pull from when we are questioned.

    7. Prepare for rejection

    No matter how loving we are and how clearly we display the Gospel, there will be those who reject the message. The Gospel is offensive (1 Corinthians 1:23). It’s offensive because people don’t want to give their own lordship up for the Lords. They don’t want to give up the way they live to follow the way of the Lords (John 3:19). No matter how wonderfully we explain the Gospel and no matter how obvious it is that the Gospel is the solution to the struggles people face, we have to accept that not all people will receive it. We can still pray for these people, continue a friendship and find ways of sharing the good news again.

  • How to NOT vacate godliness on leave

    How to NOT vacate godliness on leave

    By Roydon Frost.

    For the average Christian, time off is tricky. Either it doesn’t come easy, or it comes all too easy. Either it’s the most natural thing in the world (so that it looks like the world), or we spend our rest stewing in guilt and anxiety. Both are a far cry from the biblical concept of rest, which I try to capture in what follows:

    Rest in Christ, not rest in Rest.

    The Bible is crystal clear: the place to find true rest, lasting Shalom, enduring peace in the depth of your soul – the only place to find it, is in Christ (e.g. Heb 4). Everything else is at best a sign pointing the way to true rest, or at worst, a deceptive counterfeit. Therefore, as Christians, we don’t live for the weekend; we aren’t working for retirement; we not just hanging on for the holidays. The goal in life is not leisure, whether you define that as fishing, or base jumping, or some quality time with the remote. Life isn’t about the next holiday destination, whether that’s Luxemburg, Limpopo, or the lazyboy in the living room. The problem with activity or destination-driven rest that it always takes one more. One more trip, one more siesta, one more shot of adrenalin. Rest in that sense, never satisfies. It leaves us endlessly restless. And so we don’t rest in rest, because we can’t. We rest in Him.

    Rest!

    We don’t rest in rest. We rest in Christ. And so there is nothing wrong with taking time off from work. In fact, God has built the rhythm of work and rest into the fabric of the universe. Night and day, cycles in nature, seasons in life – all whispers of the rhythm that God has strung into human existence. We do well to rest in this secondary sense of being in harmony with the rhythms of life. Time off is good tonic for the body and mind. It is also chicken soup for the soul, when we consider how easily we idolise work. Rest reminds me that the earth will continue to spin on its axis, even if I take my full quota of annual leave. Rest reminds me that there are things God can do, even if I don’t open Outlook. Rest keeps us humble. It also gives us the space we need to truly rest in Christ. So we never take a holiday from God. We take a holiday in Him and with Him. We use our time off to draw closer to him through prayer, meditation on His word, and reflection on our lives. In this way, the secondary rest can serve the primary.

    Ambassadors never rest

    Because we are in Christ and our rest is in him, all of life is an offering of thankful praise to God, and witness to the world (Ps 116, 117). If we are resting in Christ, even as we take time off, our words, deeds and thoughts will witness to his goodness. We will be sensitive to the needs of others. We will be open to opportunities to share the gospel. People will sense in us a peace that goes beyond the hammock, the slip-slops and the sun burn. The way we rest will witness to the one who has given us true rest.

  • Drowning in the Deep

    Drowning in the Deep

    5 Tips for Taking on your First Job

    When I think back to my first job, I shudder.

    Everyone else in the company seemed to be coping, but me. I felt like I had been thrown in the deep end and I could not swim. I was drowning. My response to my own situation was, ‘I’ll just work harder and put in more hours’, yet somehow I still stuffed up and still failed to do things right. I’d attribute my failures to others by blaming my colleagues for things like projects not being done on time, but deep inside, I knew I was to blame.

    Your experience might be different to mine; in fact, you might have excelled. The good news is, through this struggle I learned some valuable lessons that I think you too could gain some value from.

    1. The boss is not thinking about you

    This started from the bedroom for me. I’d wake every morning, look in the cupboard and say to myself, ‘I need to look awesome’. There was a ladder that needed climbing and I was going to do everything I could to show the boss that I’m the perfect climber. I went to work at 7am when work started at 8 and I was in the office till 6:30pm, even when the office closed at 5. The trouble is, most of my time was going to the wrong thing. I was constantly checking how I worded my emails, how I presented myself in meetings and often would twist words to make it appear like I was on top of things. I wanted my boss to say, ‘Now there goes a model employee; trust worthy, respectable and definitely needed in our company’.

    I later learned that the boss was not interested in me, but interested in a job being done. They had a product and I was employed in my role to help that product make a profit. The moment I switched the interest from me to growing the product, I naturally became the person the company needed. Just as well! Biblically I knew I couldn’t be perfect (Romans 1) and now I didn’t have to be.

    2. Don’t think 9 – 5

    Some people will advise you when you start working that you’re doing too much if you have to work past 5pm. That may be true for someone who has been in the game for years, but you are starting out. You will be slow and not only that, you will make tons of mistakes as you work out your role and the company (And very often the industry) that you are in. You need to make time.

    Having said this, it’s not always easy to make time available. Especially with kids, family, church and friends being demanding. My suggestion would be to let people know that the next two years you are going to be grafting at your job. This may mean, shock horror, that you lower your commitment in church and to your family. Don’t miss understand me as you need to be a part of church and you can’t give up on your family, but for a period of your life you need to sacrifice so that you can build a good foundation for your career. This will help your family and church in the long run.

    3. Only say ‘I’m not right for the job’ two years in

    If you’ve just started working and are feeling like throwing in the towel, ask yourself how long you’ve been there. If it’s less than 2 years, then don’t give up. On average it takes two years for you to really understand what you do. Not only that, it takes 2 years for the company to really see your potential. Your first year will most likely be filled with mistakes and errors and your company will see your first year as training. It’s your first job, they’re not going to expect you to be the model employee in 6 months. Once your first year is over, you will be capable of taking on more and will reach your sweet spot your second year in.

    4. Share your frustrations with older Christians

    Part of my biggest problem was that I swam alone. I felt like I had to take on every challenge myself and I didn’t want to share it as I didn’t want to burden others or look bad. At my church I had a world of older men and woman who had walked this road before, yet I never chatted to them. How closed minded was I? I would have saved a ton of frustration had I just sort their wisdom!

    5. God is the ultimate CEO, in him is true purpose

    Quite often I felt like my Christianity was experienced only on the weekends, bible study or when I did my quite time. During my working hours, it was me on my own. It was not that I didn’t want God to enter the office with me, I just didn’t know how to bring him in. It was when I understood that God created, and is still running, the world that I realised there was a CEO above my CEO. A boss above my boss.

    The company is not my bosses, it’s God’s company and he will do with it what he pleases. Knowing this I sort God’s word and saw that he’s not opposed to revenue (Romans 13:7), he desires hard work (1 Thessalonians 4), I am made in his image as a creative worker (Genesis 1) and wants people to receive profit (Proverbs 21:5). Every morning I gave my first 30 minutes to a ‘meeting with the CEO’ and told the Lord of my plans for the day. I even included stats as it made me take the meeting seriously and I prayed for my plans to improve on the product through my position. Doing this gave me purpose greater than that of a salary or job satisfaction, I was on mission for the Lord by working hard in his company.
