The Big & Little F of Faithfulness
What a memorable day we had this past Sunday thanking and praising God for His great Faithfulness toward us, His gospel, and His Word over the past 40 years. He uniquely displays the big F of Faithfulness. We could never thank Him enough for sticking with us, yet it is also true that the Lord has been honored by those who have been faithful to Him and His church these past 40 years as well. These have modelled the little f of faithfulness to the Lord and His church.
The Fellowship of the Unashamed
Before my dad went home to be with the Lord, he loved to preach, share the gospel, and write. One of his favorite ways to write was composing monologues which he compiled and put into a book, Words Aptly Spoken. These monologues were designed to motivate believers to live for Christ.
Trustworthy
Sometimes it's hard to get a clear sense of what faithfulness looks like in an unfaithful culture. We regularly hear of faithless acts that can condition our hearts to be reluctant to trust others around us. No one likes to be:
defrauded by an investment firm
scammed by a salesman
lied to by a close friend
abused by an employer
cheated on by a spouse
But none of this will happen with God.
Just Be F….
What is the first thing you think of when you hear the word “faithful”? A person? A product? A pet? The sunrise or sunset? Rain in Washington? Why is it we remember so little about the hand-picked tribal leaders of Israel: Shammua, Shaphat, Igal, Palti, Gaddiel, Gaddi, Ammiel, Sethur, Nahbi, or Geuel and remember so much about Joshua and Caleb? In a nutshell, the first ten were faithless and the last two were faithful.
