I’ve never been much on resolutions. Far from solving problems, they only create them for an emotional perfectionist like me. All I need is more stuff to feel guilty about!

Resolutions often fail because they’re unsustainable. We haven’t thought them through. We told ourselves all we needed to do was dig a little deeper, get a little more determined...make a resolution! But resolutions alone won’t help us.

Christian resolution starts with admitting we can’t straighten out the stuff that really matters on our own. We need help...from others...and mainly from God. It’s why Adam needed Eve, and why I need you. Healthy dependence is a key feature of successful Christian living.

But this doesn’t mean that we can’t make resolutions that stick. Some of us can do it occasionally by sheer dint of effort, but if we can, it probably wasn’t a life-dominating circumstance. For the big things, most of us will need grace in the mix, and we’ll need to take the long view. My inner psyche won’t be flawlessly changed by February. But (and here’s a big one) I’ve learned after years of stumbling heavenward, my

resolve to follow Jesus hasn’t diminished.

This month we want to talk about three items that definitely qualify as ‘big ones.’ These include our relationships, our sense of meaning, and our spirituality. These are items so significant, you’ll never ‘get there’ but you can get further down the road than where you are. And that in itself is success on the things that really matter in life!

So, for what it’s worth, from a fellow-stumble... here are a few principles that keep me on the pathway to wholeness!

• Examine yourself, and think long and hard about one thing that needs to change in your life.

• This is the kind of thing that needs prayer... regular, ongoing prayer. Repentance prayer and faith prayer. Both will be needed!

• Prepare for failures along the way. This doesn’t mean you’re back to square one (an incredibly paralyzing thought). See repentance prayer...

• Take bearings along the way. Celebrate victories! Make mid-course corrections.

• You may not achieve perfection, but you will make progress!

Solving the Resolution Problem

Pastor’s Column


I have a friend who will decide to buy a car, walk into the sales room and announce to a car salesman that this is his lucky day, if he has a model of car in a specific colour

on the lot. He buys the car without taking it for a test drive. He tells me that salesmen stare at him with an incredulous look every time he buys a car. Who buys a car in 45 minutes?

After all, when you are going to make as big a decision as the purchase of a car, you at least want to drive it around a block or two!

I feel that same principle applies to getting involved in a small group in a church. Sometimes you just need to take a group for a test drive

before you make a longterm commitment. We are going to provide you a six week opportunity to test drive what group life could look like.

We are going to launch small groups with the intent of studying material that will complement what is being taught on Sunday mornings in our services.

If you’d like to test drive group life for six weeks, plan to attend our Launch event on Sunday January 20 following the morning service that you regularly attend. We’ll be forming groups right there, you won’t want to miss it!

Connect

speaking aggressively will shut the other person down. So try the opposite, a quiet calm tone, and you’ll be better heard. When we listen we need to really hear what the other person is saying. Listen with ‘understanding ears’ and check to make sure the message is really understood. Simply paraphrasing back to the speaker what we’ve heard will confirm that we’ve ‘got it’. If we don’t, they can clarify. From the youngest child to the oldest adult, we all want to be heard and understood. When this happens we feel cared for and connected and the relationship strengthens.

A second step towards meaningful relationships is time. If we don’t spend time with the other person how are we going to develop a relationship? I realize that it’s not easy in our busy society to fit everything in. However, there’s nothing more beneficial than spending time with those we love and care about. We make time for the things that are important to us. If those things are work, sports, or other recreational activities, but not the people we care about, what does that say to them? Go hiking with your children, plan some time away with your partner, call a friend for coffee or visit that relative you’ve been thinking about. Stop saying we ‘should’ and just do it.

Third and last is a positive focus. We all have times when those we’re in relationship ship with annoy us. It’s at those times that we need to remember that nobody’s perfect and we all say and do things that we shouldn’t. We need to remember the positives in the person and focus on the things that we really love and enjoy about them. What if it’s that family member that rubs you the wrong way every time they’re in the room? Even they have to have at least one good trait—focus on it. It’s all too easy to write someone off over a personal slight. We can

overcome those annoyances by focusing on the positives in both the relationship and the person.

These three simple suggestions: communication, time together and a positive focus, are not so simple to implement. However, they are do-able. And, as always, God is ready and waiting to help us. Start by asking yourself what kind of friend and family member you want to be. Once you’ve answered that question do a self inventory to see if there’s anything you need to change to move toward becoming that person, asking God to support you in it. Then start today with making the changes that will get you there. Relationships don’t just happen they are cultivated. But, they’re well worth it, so start cultivating today!!

TIPS FOR HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS

1. Relationships need to be physically and emotionally safe.

2. Communication a. Speak with tones and words that

encourage listening and understandingb. Listen with the intent of understanding

the other personc. Check to see if you understand the

message, letting the speaker clarify if necessary.

3. Make time for the people you care about in order to deepen the relationship.

4. Focus on the positive in those you are in relationship with and let go of little annoyances

I don’t know about you, but there are times when I think that life on a desert island, away from everyone and everything sounds pretty good. You might even get to the point that

you think, “Relationships, who needs them!?” Well, apparently God thinks we do because that’s how he created us: to be in relationship with Him, and with others. He knows we need others to be healthy and happy.

Whether it’s a relationship with a partner, children, family members or friends, it takes work to cultivate it and keep it healthy. Feeling physical and emotional safety is an important part of close relationships. When you really think about it we are all looking for the same thing: to be loved unconditionally and accepted for who we are. Those we can let our guard down with and share anything are our ‘go to people’ in the bad times as well as the good. Feeling connected to others who we can really trust promotes a stronger sense of self worth and confidence.

So, what does it take to form relationships that are mutually satisfying and worth the time and effort? The first important piece is communication. As trite as it may sound it’s true. Two people won’t feel cared for and connected if they don’t communicate. I’ve had people tell me that they’re excellent communicators, only to find out what they really mean is that they talk a lot. However, talking is only one part of communication. We need to talk, listen and understand. If we don’t have all three components working then it’s not really communication--its people talking with, or at, each other.

When we talk it’s the tone and words we use that count. We need to talk in a tone that encourages listening. Raising our voices and

Relationships ...Who Needs Them!

Take a look at your calendar for the next two weeks. Go ahead, I’ll wait...

How many of the events that fill your week are recurring events? You know,

hockey practice every Thursday morning at 6; small group Monday evenings at 7.

Have you thought through just how routine-oriented your life really is? Think through your morning routine: coffee, shower, coffee, shave (it even has a specific pattern you follow), coffee, coffee. Ho-hum. How mundane is that?! Now some of you are reading this thinking, “Ha, I’m not driven by routine, I go with the flow everyday. Everyday is a new adventure!” That’s the other end of the spectrum. Rather than mundane, your life may better be described as chaotic.

You must not settle for a mundane life. You must not settle for a chaotic life. You must be intentional about living a purposeful and meaningful life. A meaningful life will not just happen!

Living a meaningful life means that we are living life on purpose. But not just any purpose, we are living the purpose that God has for our life! God has a unique plan for each one of us. A plan that provides meaning for our life.

three F’sThere are three spheres that God uses so we can live a meaningful life.

1. The Foundation: Our Spiritual Gifting

One of the clearly taught principles in the New Testament is that every Christ-follower has at

least one Spiritual Gift. In Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12 Paul gives focused teaching on this area. Our spiritual gifting is the foundation of our ministry and service.

It is the differences between our spiritual gifting that provide the complementary relationships whereby we can accomplish more together than as individuals. One has the gift of leadership, another administration, another wisdom and still another helps. When all those gifts are serving on a team together, God can do amazing things.

But God provides more than a spiritual gift. He also provides...

2. The Fuel: Our Passion

Within each of us, God provides something in which our emotions are stirred. For some it is children, for others it is missions, for others it is spiritual growth, for others it is students, for others it is marriages, for others it is the marginalized. All these (and many more) are incredibly important to God. It isn’t a question of His heart, it is a question of our heart.

God cares more about each of these things than is possible for each of us to. Therefore, God provides each of us with a portion of his heart, in a specific area, that we get energized about. One or two areas that ‘light us up’ more than the other areas.

But, again, God provides more than a spiritual gift and passion. He provides...

3. The Funnel: Our Personality

God has created each of us with a unique wiring. He stitched us together in such a way as to give us innate strengths and tendencies. Some of us are wired up as outgoing and gregarious, others are reserved and sensitive. Our personality is initially created by God, but also impacted by the environment we grew up in.

Putting it all togetherHow do these three spheres interplay with each other? Well, you could take two people with the same gift of leadership, who are both passionate about marriage, but have different personalities, and their ministry to others would play out very differently. Two people with the same spiritual gift and similar personalities, but different passion areas will be most effective if there are serving in areas that match their passion areas.

The way to have a meaningful life? Identify and implement your spiritual gifting, discern what gets you emotionally engaged, and embrace the way you are wired up. Don›t just go through the cycle of lather, rinse and repeat.

Lather.Rinse.Repeat.By John Ratz

Ministry


Disciplines

By David Courey

Some of the best moments in life are when you meet someone new, and you can tell in the first few seconds, you’re going to really enjoy each other.

Another one of those moments occurs when you reconnect with an old friend and it’s the magic of picking up right where you left off.

A deepening relationship with God is like a cross of those two experiences. Because of His immensity, there are ever new facets of his character and nature to discover over a lifetime; yet even when we begin a fresh relationship with God, in so many ways its like coming home to someone we’ve missed for a long time.

Are there any guidelines for getting to know God that are as applicable to new believers as they are to long-time Christ-followers? I think there are, because getting to know God is like developing any relationship, old or new.

trust: the Key that Opens the DoorRelationships are all about opening doors to our lives. First it’s the front door, but as we progress, it turns out that my heart, like my home has many rooms, and many doors to open. There’s a trust required either way. At the start, it’s a confidence that I can be safe opening my heart to this person I don’t really know. But even years later, I still have so many questions about what God is up to in my life. It takes faith to actually believe God is after my highest good. But the only way for our relationship to deepen is to keep opening new doors.

Keep exploring: there’s always MoreI thought I knew everything there was to know about my mother. After all she had been my mom for a lot of years, but that’s all she was. I had never actually seen her as a person until I

Getting to Know You

began to see her through my wife’s eyes. All of a sudden instead of a cranky old lady, I discovered a passionate, creative woman who felt shut up in a box for most of her life. I had given up on believing there was more to her than what I saw.

I wonder how often that happens with God. We tend to hold on to the same old tired images that we’ve developed over a lifetime instead of seeing God through fresh eyes and letting him show us how truly multi-faceted he is. It turns out that the portraits we created of who God is are just caricatures. What we need is a willingness to redraw our picture of the Immortal.

read, Pray, Grow…Funny how kids’ songs capture with simplicity profound life-shaping truths. “Read your Bible/Pray everyday/And you’ll grow, grow, grow…” It’s a song we used to sing in Sunday school. It was true for little tykes, it’s true for us bigger ones, too. Nothing can take the place of these spiritual disciplines.

Lots of people give up on these essentials too soon. “Tried that… didn’t work… I’m not much for (fill in the blank: reading or praying).” Imagine you gave up skating or swimming after tumbling or sputtering a few times! There are a hundred of ways to access the Bible from listening to it on-line, to reading it on your smart-phone. The same is true with prayer. Like olives or seafood, it’s an acquired taste, but it’s essential to the process.

But when you notice that these habits are leading you on an adventure, that’s when you’ve begun to grow! It’s when you start to get a “loud thought” from God, or a verse keeps returning to niggle at your consciousness that reading and praying are unfolding into a journey of discovery. It doesn’t happen overnight, but it does come with prolonged and intentional exposure!

let’s Face It…It’s a challenge, this business of getting to know a person you can’t see, feel or hear. The key is believing. It shouldn’t come as a shock that without faith it’s impossible to please God. And what a great promise it is to know that “he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him” (Hebrews 11:6)! These simple principles applied consistently will keep our walk with God fresh and deepening, as each day we get to know God.


new Years resolutions for 20-somethings

• Before you status update, tweet, tumble or Instagram, pause and say to yourself, “is it entirely necessary that I share this morsel of thought with my entire social network?”and if the answer is not, “yes, I absolutely must,” then step away from the Internet.

• Enough with the 14-day juice cleanses. If you want to lose a little weight quickly, eat less and exercise like crazy. If you want to lose a lot of weight slowly, do whatever Jennifer Hudson did.

• If you really like the person you’re hooking up with and would like them to be your boyfriend/ girlfriend, find a way to tell them, and hope for the best. If you don’t and wouldn’t, stop.

• Find a way to save approximately 300 dollars and spend it on a flight to see a friend or family member who lives far away.

• spend less than or equal to the money you earn each month.

• Wear clothes that fit you, especially to work.

• Call someone on the phone at least once a week, and speak to him or her for at least ten minutes.

• Start preparing now to get over the fact that Facebook is probably going to change again in six months. You’re not going to deactivate your account. You don’t know how.

• Wait 30 seconds before you look up a fact you can’t remember on your phone, and try to remember it using your brain. This is what the olden days were like.

• Try that food you think you don’t like but have never actually tried, unless it’s brussels sprouts. They really don’t need any more attention.

• volunteer once over the next 90 days. You’ll feel really good about it, and probably end up volunteering again over the next 275.

• Tell someone who you love that you love them on a more regular basis. To their face, not in a text.

• Back up your entire online life onto an external hard drive, especially your photos.
