The Way Back to God

We’ve all done things that weigh us down and make us wonder, “Why do I seem to do what I know is wrong?”

In Scripture, sin is described as actions that miss the target that God's asked us to aim for: living a life centered around loving God and others. While there are universal actions that dishonor God, small acts of disobedience also pull us away from Him. The apostle James wrote that “it is a sin to know what the right thing to do is, and then not do it” (James 4:17).

In other words, if you know what God is asking you to do, yet you still decide to disobey Him—then you’re undermining God’s authority in your life. Sin entices us because it is self-gratifying, but it results in eternal separation from God and others.

For a long time, there was no way for most people to draw near to God because God cannot be a part of anything that undermines His perfect character.

But while we were controlled by sin, Jesus came and died for us. And because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, we can now experience a life that isn’t ruled by our mistakes.

Jesus’ voluntary sacrifice can lead to our reconciliation with God. None of this is because we deserve it, but because God has always desired it.

While we might continue to struggle between doing right and wrong, we don’t have to face this struggle alone. And the great news is: God wants to help because He knows we can’t overcome sin alone.

So right now, take note of some of the things you are currently struggling with. Where do you need to give God control? Picture handing those things over to Jesus, and allow Him to give you His grace, forgiveness, and peace. 🫶🏾🙏🏾💯 taken in Chester, Pennsylvania by @iamdadman007

30 years ago, there were no black cops....

Wait, wrong post!!

30 years ago, I went to Tower records down Center City, like I used to do all the time, to check out new CDs! New CDs! They had different places within the store to listen to music by requests and as I was perusing through the CDs, I came across this:

I thought what a crazy looking CD cover, heels on top of a rug and then I flipped it over and saw this brother with an afro. I thought "this is peculiar!" 💯

I decided to check it out and my mind was blown! I stood there in Tower records, listening to the entire album without skipping and got lost in the time! I bought it without hesitation!! 💥🤩💯

I remember going home and talking to my friends about it, whether at home or in college at Penn State, and people had no idea what I was talking about! About! They had never heard of this. Maxwell !! 😳

Even when his first video came out for Til The Cops Come Knocking, people were weirded out because the brother was freaking the floor!! 😭🤣

If you have never and I do mean never, listened to this CD, I would encourage you to find it quickly on whatever streaming platform you listen to your music on! Immediately! You will not be disappointed, even 30 years later!

It's like yesterday when I first heard this and I can hear all the songs in my head as I'm writing this!

Lastly, after you check out this album then check out his sophomore cut called Embrya 💯😘🫶🏾🤩💥 by @iamdadman007

The Greatest Servant

If we’re honest, most of us would rather be served than to serve others. We’d rather feel special than ordinary. We’d rather feel important than insignificant.

And though God has made each of us special, important, and created in His image—His children cannot be above serving, because Jesus was never above serving.

“For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭20:28‬ ‭NLT‬‬

If the King of kings and Lord of lords didn’t come to be served, but to sacrifice His life for the sake and salvation of others, we should pay attention.

Jesus warned against doing impressive things just to be seen, praying extravagant prayers merely to be heard, and taking the highest-ranking positions simply to be known. (See: Matthew 6 and 20.)

Instead, Jesus engaged the outcast, fed the hungry, healed the sick, helped the hurting, stopped for the broken, washed dirty feet, and laid down His life—even though He was innocent—so that even the “worst” of sinners could discover: they're never too far from His love.

As you think about what it meant for Jesus to die in your place and erase your sins and mistakes, what does it trigger inside of you? Worship? Gratefulness? Are you compelled to go and tell others? Today, ask God to show you how you can serve others like He has served you. taken in Chicago, Illinois by @iamdadman007

The Lamb of God

Have you ever waited a really long time for something important? Maybe you spent weeks waiting to see an old friend, for news about a medical diagnosis, or for someone to respond to a message you sent them.

In the first century, the people of God had waited hundreds and hundreds of years for the coming of a Savior. John the Baptist was sent to be the forerunner of that coming Savior. God planned for John to prepare the people for Jesus’ arrival, and call them back to repentance.

John waited his whole life for Jesus. He spent his days in eager anticipation of the coming of a Savior who would save his people. And on that day when Jesus did arrive, John the Baptist cried out in excitement.

John calls Jesus the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. In the old covenant, lambs were sacrificed on behalf of the sins of the people. Their sacrifices were a temporary means to restore a person's relationship with God.

But Jesus' coming heralds a new covenant between God and His people.

Jesus’ death is a sacrifice on our behalf, but one that's permanent and complete. Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection pave a path for us to enjoy a restored relationship with God, and to live in freedom from sin. This is the new covenant that John the Baptist is describing when He says that Jesus takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29).

Take a moment this morning to thank God for the amazing gift that Jesus offers to each and every one of us. Because of Jesus’ faithfulness, we can walk in new life and enjoy a restored relationship with God.

Think of one small step you can take to share this good news with someone who doesn’t yet know Jesus. This free gift is great news for every single person, and we are given the privilege of sharing it with everyone. 🙏🏾💯❣️ taken in Chicago, Illinois by @iamdadman007
