First Steps – August 16, 2021

Dominic Guzman, a Spaniard, was born in 1170 AD. In 1203, as a priest, he accompanied a bishop on a diplomatic mission through the region of southern France. At that time, the religion of that area was a version of Gnosticism (First Century heresy) called Catharism. Many of the region’s ruling elite were heavily influenced by this form of heresy. Though many preachers sought to evangelize the region with the gospel, they were ineffective.

Dominic was convinced that a new model of missions based on the 12 Apostles was needed. He thought these new missionaries should travel on foot without money, preach wherever they traveled, and live a life of charity. Eventually, this new model would evolve into the Order of Preachers or Dominicans, as they are famously known.

This order would produce some of the greatest theologians like Thomas Aquinas, Catherine of Siena, and Bartolome de Las Casas. Unfortunately, some of its more radicals were the architects of The Inquisition, where people were killed in the name of “truth.” Nonetheless, The Order of the Preachers helped reform missions by rediscovering the Biblical witness. When his friars asked him to produce a formal testament, he answered, “All my children, what I leave to you: Have charity, guard humility, and make your treasure out of voluntary poverty.”

As I reflect upon Dominic’s life, my thoughts drift to Micah 6:8, “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”

First Steps – August 9, 2021

In a recent Bible study, the leader said something very insightful, “Most people like what God says until we are called to action.” Similarly, most like the grace of God until it requires a changed life. One desires the forgiveness of God as long as it doesn’t mean one has to forgive others.

Often in the Church world, we talk about the free gift of God’s grace, but we shallow the message of what that grace will require of the receiver. Followers of Christ are expected, called, and empowered to live differently. Followers of Christ, who have received the grace of God, are to model to others what they first received from God. Grace is a powerful transformative agent that fosters an inside-out change. Yes, it is a free gift from God meaning that it can’t be merited, but it does expect to change the receiver.

“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you” (Luke 6:37-38). I like the image of measurement—the amount you have received, you give that same amount.

This Week’s Readings:

Monday – Luke 6

First Steps – August 2, 2021

While walking on the beach, I couldn’t help but notice the millions of broken shells. At some point in their history, they were tossed about over and over; bumping into the sand, rocks, or other shells; eventually, they were fractured. Perhaps a little piece here then a little piece there. Sometime later, the result was something of a small portion of their original look or shape.

There is a part of me that knows this happens to people. Various struggles, problems, circumstances can be like waves that are relentless. A little break here, a little break there can be managed, but when that happens time and time again, the results can be something similar to what I witnessed on the beach—Brokenness. Over time, people become a fraction of what they once were.

Thankfully, the work of God leads to restoration. Just as brokenness can happen bit by bit, God’s Spirit restores in the same manner. 2 Corinthians 3:18 says, “So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.” It is that last phrase (italics) that is our hopeful promise of restoration.

I hope this week your thoughts will rest on the promise of God for transformation. We all experience brokenness in one degree or another, but the work of God’s Spirit won’t stop in the work of wholeness. Know that at this very moment, God is at work in you. His desire is restoration.
