Go into all the world and preach the gospel making disciples of them… The Disciples knew that this was not going to be easy, and in fact it would be a little bit of hell on earth, it would be a war, it would be a struggle… They saw what Jesus went through, they saw the opposition, the hate the hard work…
So I ask you, what is worth fighting for? Your reputation? Do you feel it necessary to fight over your status, how others view you or judge you? Are you going to fight over getting cut in front of at the bank or shop? Will you fight over your right to not be cut off in traffic, will you fight over what lies people tell about you?
There is only one thing I am willing to really truly fight over… and let me clarify- I will protect my family by any means necessary. But I mean when someone is going to come at me, disagree with me, hate on me, lie about me… when will I choose to fight?
You know a few weeks ago I lit up my facebook page with a few posts about Roe vs. Wade. And the hate just kept on coming. But what cracked me up where the comments about ‘well your willing to take away the rights of women who need abortion but you will never be there to help them with the child they are now stuck with”…. So just between you and I - I have worked for more than 25 years ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY in the field of pro-life and have done everything from speak, teach, raise funds, collect goods for unwed mothers from cribs to formula to diapers… and I currently serve on a Right to Life action center board where we have a mobile unit that gives out free stuff to unwed mothers, gives ultra sounds, all kinds of stuff…. now my first reaction years ago would have been to pound my chest and defend and fight… but that was about me. Today I laugh it off… I don’t need to defend me. But I will always defend the gospel. I am always willing to fight - in love, in love - regarding the gospel. And I am willing to fight over my heart and my actions toward the gospel.
You can attack me- I probably give you lots to work with LOL, You can attack my ministry, my hair, my choice in music, you can call me out on anything and I just don’t care. But if you tell me to not share the gospel - well we is gonna fight. Tell’m we coming and we swinging the gospel hammer - in love.
Years ago I had a younger man who knew me from my days in Madison as a youth pastor get all in a huff over something I said - I actually was NOT trying to stir things up. But he called me out in public on social media with some pretty strong words… saying I was not really into the gospel, and I should know and act better than that as a Christian and as a pastor… and it made it sound like I wasn’t really a follower of Christ in my example to sharing the gospel. So I PM’ him. And said listen up skippy, I will pay your way here, I will cover your week of salary and I will give you an extra $200 if you can hang with me in sharing jesus and praying for people. I told him, I dare you where ever I go and you go with me, to ask people there if I have shared the gospel with them, If I have prayed for them, If I have cried with them. Wether it be the bank, they gym, the grocery store I frequent, the Kwik Trip by my house my neighbors… you see if I am or not a follower of jesus. And then if you think I am not about the gospel- you can call me out. And I added OR I can come to your place on my dime, and follow you around and ask everyone if YOU have prayed, shared, cried…
WHY DID I DO THIS? well yea I was ticked, but I want people to know how important the gospel is. its worth fighting for.

Ever live in a home where they called their Dad by his first name? Weird right? I mean sir is still a little perfunctory, but by your first name? Imagine your mom saying your in trouble with Dennis… you mean Dad… we call him Dennis - You are going to get spanked by Dennis?
Matthew 6 The Lords prayer
The disciples had been with Jesus a little.. they had seen some miracles and some pretty crazy stuff… and now they finally ask God how do you pray.
They simply wanted to learn the secret formula for getting and doing what Jesus did
- Probably not the best intentions, but in any case Jesus waited until they asked to teach them how to pray. Now imagine you on your own away from the other disciples trying to heal or curse a fig tree or tell the weather what to do… and your prayers are just simply words falling flat.
And if you are a disciple you are thinking “well why wouldn’t they fall flat… why would YWHA answer my prayer… I don’t even know how to pray”.
So now Jesus says “oh you want to know how to pray?” Start like this Dear ABBA, or heavenly father - actually rendered Daddy.
We probably can’t understand the cosmic shift in the disciples when Jesus says this…. Daddy? Dada? First of all it seems foolish, and of course our tradition is that we can’t even utter the full name of God because it is so holy so we will just say “YWHA”… the Jews took out the vowels so as not to actually say Gods name because it was to Holy… and now Jesus shreds that tradition into pieces.
Have you ever asked yourself why we are to call him Daddy?
You know every name has a connotation or a meaning beyond just the name. If I mention Joe Biden, we all have a connotation or meaning behind it. If I say Chuck Norris, or Michael Angelo or even Garth Heckman… we all have certain connotations, meanings and feelings tied to that word.
Maybe Jesus chose those 12 bumbling disciples because he knew they all had good examples of fathers and not just because they were the cream of the crop. Because I know this, we see God the father a lot like we see our earthly father… of course I still can’t explain Judas, but thats for another podcast.
But the point is we were not told to come to him in prayer with a “Dear Holy and Magnificent stupendous Lord of the highest of highs and creator of all powers and eternity in the cosmos of our Savior for ever blah blah… Do you think a God like that would actually listen to you?
I would imagine that the greater the title the more isolated most people would feel trying to crack threw the sky in prayer.
Jesus says pray like this “Daddy I know you are Holy, I know your ways are best and your will is best. Please meet my needs today, and help me to not hate others so that they don’t hate me, Help me not sin and give me a way out, for you own all things, know all things and control all things. Make it happen.
Thanks Daddy.

Years ago I had a friend Milt… who was OLD… he was in his 80’s and still drove a van for Busse flowers in Mt. Prospect Illinois. But he was so old that every time people would talk about problems in our city, or state or country… no matter what it was he would always say “those bloody commies… its their fault”. He literally still thought after all this time hat the communists were at the heart of his high electric bill and the cost of vegetables… etc… I can’t find my sock… those bloody commies.
Some people see their world view through their democratic mantra, others the same with their republican association. Others from a view of anarchy, or socialism, others still from bitterness of life, or hurt. Some people see life through their inward lack of power to feel like they matter or have any control… And others still see life from the way they were programmed by their families…
The point is this: we all must choose the keyhole we want to look at life from. yes I believe some see things through rose colored glasses - and yes We all wear some type of glasses in which to try to gain a better understanding of life and what is going on.
So here is a thought today… I am choosing more and more to see things through the lens of the end times. Why? Not just because we are entering the end times - you would be hard pressed to convince me otherwise especially after this past weeks alliance with Russia Iran and Turkey - coming against Israel- that is straight out of Ezekiel 38. But I digress… Seeing things through the lens of the end times just makes things make sense.
The love of Christians growing cold
Those calling evil good and good evil
The growth of transgenderism
A world currency and crypto currency
A world banking order
Disease and sickness
Rampant earthquakes, floods and other weather related craziness…
Crop failures and food shortages
Families against families, nation against nation
and again all of the prophecies that have been fulfilled in detail
AND ALL OF THIS IS GETTING WORSE NOT BETTER!
So here is a real life example of a conversation I just had with a well meaning right wing hard nosed republican who is a blue collar hard working man and is a strong Christian… but again seems to check things by his political beliefs more than the bible - and again we are all guilty of this in some way. But the point is he told me about all the heresy and here say regarding climate change and Al Gore is a lying blah blah blah… you get the point. He says to me “Pastor can you believe people are so gullible to believe in global warming?”. I simply smiled and said well the bible does talk of global warming… he looked puzzled and said “it does”. Yes in fact in detail. In talks of global warming from comets, storms, famines, scorching heat. but it also speaks of 100 pound hailstones and darkness and cold…. the end times speaks of everything we are starting just now to go through.
But because I don’t just see the weather through my end times glasses I also see what we are to do about it. Love others and tell them the truth and share the gospel of jesus Christ. I of course believe that we will be raptured before the start of the tribulation… and that makes Christs words ring out even more clear when he said “be aware, be on guard and don’t fall asleep”. Stay in tune with the times for time is short and share the gospel.
Look if you knew a tornado was going to come through your town and rip open and destroy an orphanage. Would you waste time talking about weather patterns, building codes, cost of replacing the building, hospital costs of caring for any of the orphans who are still alive… or would you run down their and tell them “EVERYONE OUT, NOW A STORM IS COMING AND IT WILL DESTROY EVERY ORPHAN IF YOU DON’T SEEK SHELTER”.
Until you know God as a father you are an orphan… until others know the Father they are orphans.

Joe Bezotte is a bad man… anyone with the initials JB is a bad mama gamma you got James Bond, Jason Bourne and of course Justin Bieber…
But we were talking and he did a survey amongst law enforcement from CIA, FBI, Sherif departments, police departments etc… across the country and found out that when it came to scuffles or run in’s with people who did not want to cooperate and of course you had to get hands on.. that very few of these ever went to the ground and in fact more than 90% stayed on their feet. But he was surprised at how much training people received with grappling, jiu jitsu etc… and that is all good when you are in the octagon, but in real life it was not transferable to what was going to keep you alive.
I kept thinking about us in our world today. There is so much chatter out in the world be it sermons and pastors or social media or even worship songs and the like that don’t really train us for what we really need.
So what am I saying… well I just like you read and pray and believe for Gods best in my life. Yes I believe God wants to bless me, keep me healthy strong, to have my family flourish and my finances increase and I can pray for those and believe in those and its all good, but its all a ground game.
Lets not forget we are in a spiritual battle and my war is not with those but with greed, pride, lust, insecurity, doubt and I think we could fill in a whole podcast with more, but you get the picture.
So what is my real life spiritual stand up game when it comes to warfare. How should one train….
Well first and foremost in real fighting you understand that it is the unexpected you must train for. You must keep your distance from the threat and be ready at all times… just like in my real spiritual battle.
I get in a tizzy with my wife and I go to work and the hot underdressed assistant is hanging over my desk…
Or I am stressed with finances and its Sunday and the offering plate is fastly approaching, or Bill at work starts spouting off with his accolades and i want to point out he is on his 3rd marriage and can’t even hit a months goals of business in a year…
Yep, my war is real, it is a real ground game… and I am guessing yours is as well. So what to do?
I prepare with scripture that I can use right now.
Lust, greed, insecurity, stress, lack of passion for Christ, bitterness… The bible is full of verses that I can read, memorize and even write down on sticky pads and put in my car, my desk, my mirror, my phone etc…
In fact right now the desk I am sitting at has about 10 verses taped on my desk with clear packing tape so i can always see it, or should I say never miss it.
The ground game is were the real battle and the real victory is at. Yeah, I want to pray for health, blessing, honor, increase… and there is nothing wrong with that- but that my friend needs less attention than what I really need. So go to the bible, or even google if you have a hard time, but find scriptures that train your mind and your heart for battle.

A PASSION FOR THE GOSPEL
A PASSION FOR THE LOST
Its not about what you can do - its about who you can reach!
Luke 10:20 Rejoice when your name is written down in the book of life.
The disciples go out and are doing amazing things… Jesus says what is really amazing is when your name gets written down in the book of life - YOU WANT TO GET MY ATTENTION… SAVE THE LOST
Luke 15:7 Heaven will erupt in joy when a sinner comes to Jesus
*NOT WHEN YOU HEAL, CAST OUT DEMONS, GIVE WORDS OF PROPHECY, GIVE MONEY, ATTEND CHURCH
I want to make God laugh
I wan to make God laugh
Not just a chuckle where the teeth roll over each other like waves
I want to make God laugh
The gut bubbly jocular tumble of fat the ricochets of the belt
I want him to wipe the tear from his eye as he sucks in more air
Blasting out more chortles and snorts then a sparkler in the hands of a 4 year old
I want a cool sweat to break out as his face reddens and his cheeks tighten
Smiling so hard that his face cramps, his dimples harden and he hopes you stop with your Ringling brother behavior (but only for a moment)
I want to make God laugh
When he mentions my name I want it to shoot out with stories
The way he shot the stars into the sky
From his own mouth as if he can’t stop thinking of new tales… even as he tells his best
I want the one true Deity to wheeze with mirth as he says no more… no more… I am going to wet my pants
Toss those yellow shorts down into hell along with 3 feathers
There will be more
I want to make God laugh
I want God to laugh in the presence of others while they all laugh together, laughing at my spiritual heroics with only their laughter being heard.
Laugh if you will
But I want the heavens to break their silence as God squeals and squawks and boisterously gets his own little giggle on
Is there a little girl now in charge of the universe?…no, its God laughing again
I want angels wings to ruffle as they hear God Laugh
Wishing they knew this garth, small “g”, this man, a mere mortal? How is he wired to have this effect on God?
Another soul
Another building project
Will mansions never cease?
God’s laughing again
At his big table with his guests and the wine poured
Waiting… expecting… trusting
Boom there goes another party
Sin the punch line of another joke
Laughter erupts the ground ripples and another notch is carved into the belt of hope
All this for one sheep
All this for one coin
All this for one boy
All this… and more
I want to make God laugh
I want to pull my proverbial finger from the proverbial hole in the oh so real damned-nation
I want the laughter to roll bursting over the rocks creasing through every pebble
I want to drown in Gods joy
Some want to BE God,
PLAY God,
CURSE God
As if it matters
Some just want to swerve oh so close to him as if he were an orange pylon marking a pothole in the universe
But it’s no laughing matter
I just want to make God laugh

YO DISCIPLES HEAL MY BOY
Matthew 17: 20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you!
Lack of faith GK - Olly-gop-i-stos
Def: disinterested in walking intimately with him.
CONTRAST- The goal of life is to receive and obey each time he speaks to you.
Abiding
John 8:31 “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
ABIDE - Tarry as a guest… I just want to be in your presence wherever you go.
**My Pitbull Max - that dog follows me everywhere. Kitchen, bed, bathroom, howls at the door when I am home, the car, HE WANTS TO TARRY IN MY PRESENCE…
HERE IS HOW bad it has gotten… If I talk to Kim for more than a minute he starts to howl and bark. If I go up to her to hug here- he gets between us and growls!
Does not matter what I am doing I want Jesus with me.
?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?
John 15 abide in the vine - MENTIONED 5 TIMES
“if you are living in me” - literal translation
DISCIPLES LIVE IN HIS PRESENCE - WHAT IS HE CONCERNED ABOUT - WHAT IS HE THINKING - WHAT DOES HE WANT ME TO DO… its like hanging out with a girl you like… you are only thinking about what she wants

Follower
Matthew 4:19 Come follow me and I will make you fishers of men
Come follow - its an imperative interjection with force
Follow my dad in the woods when we were hunting, he would just almost run… My legs are shorter, I am in the woods, there are hungry animals in the woods, I do not know where I am at and it’s freezing out - You can’t lose me. I will follow no matter what it takes.
I KNOW WHAT IS AT STAKE
IF I DO NOT FOLLOW JESUS
BUT HERE IS THE KEY TO THIS VERSE -
“I will make”
Gk Poy-eh-O
I will cause you to become… I will form, fashion, construct you in such a way that you will become fishers of men
*BUT WE GOTTA FOLLOW TO BE FORMED
IF WE FOLLOW WE GET FORMED… EARNEST FOLLOW
I think its fair to say that many times we think it will be easier to follow as we become like him, but here it states that if we simply follow him, his ways, his words, his voice- we will become like him.
MY POINT IS… we think it will be easier to follow him if we wait to somehow supernaturally become like him, and yet its more about simply doing what he says will make us more like him.
Are you going to be more like someone by reading about them and studying them or waiting for them to instruct you…or is it simply a matter of hanging out with them and doing what they do… I think you know the answer. Lets do it!

2 thoughts about discipleship
- Its a mandate - a command - a necessity
Matt. 28:18-20
18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
All Authority - I am giving you an order as the one in charge of everything.
AND…
If you are a disciple you are making disciples, and if you are making disciples you are a disciple… what?
YOU MIGHT SAY TO ME “PASTOR THIS SAYS TO MAKE DISCIPLES, ITS NOT A COMMAND THAT I HAVE TO BE A DISCIPLE” - That might be the problem.
In that culture - to make disciples meant you were taking the command of being a disciple.
Signs of being a disciple OR SHOULD I SAY
Signs of walking intimately…

Walking out of Sams last week: Tortilla chips, nuts, milk, cheese, yogurt - an older man comes up to me as I am leaving to tell me of a recipe… put the chips in the oven with cheese on them… and some even use taco sauce.
AIN’T NOTHING NEW ABOUT THAT… BUT I WAS DRIVING HOME AND I WAS HUNGRY…
TODAY, IT AIN’T NOTHING NEW, BUT IF YOUR HUNGRY…
JUST BEFORE MATTHEW 8
We see the disciples early start
Man with Leprosy - don’t tell anyone
Roman centurion - heal my servant
Peters mother in law
AND WE SEE THE OBVIOUS
Matthew 8:23-27 The Storm - So little faith
BUT THEN THEY SEE….
casts out demons
Heals the leader of the synagogue’s daughter
Jesus heals blind and demonic
He gives the disciples authority to heal, cast, deliver
John the baptists disciples affirm Jesus
Jesus heals on the sabbath a deformed hand
Jesus heals a blind and demon possessed man
Jesus feeds 5000/15-20K
Jesus walks on water-Peter walks on water
Jesus heals the masses and many healed by touching his garment
Jesus heals the Gentile woman’s daughter and even says “no greater faith”
Then Jesus heals the masses again, sick, blind, crippled, afflicted, demonic lame
Jesus feeds 4000/15000 more
Peter declares Jesus is the Messiah
The transfiguration - Peter James and John hang out with Elijah and Moses AND HEAR A VOICE FROM HEAVEN SAY “THIS IS MY DEARLY LOVED SON, WHO BRING BE GREAT JOY, LISTEN TO HIM”

He is worthy
Daniel 3:17-19
17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to rescue us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will rescue us from your hand, O king. 18 But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods nor worship the golden statue that you have set up.”
Daniel’s Friends Protected
19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with wrath, and his facial expression was changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. He answered by giving orders to heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.
King Nebby declares war on Israel and besieges Jerusalem, he steals stuff, he takes the best of the best and if you are Shad Shack and Benny… things are ok, they might even say “Our God made things good for us, and kept us safe… he is our secret sauce, our steroid”
Most of us would agree at that point in our life if we were them, we would agree to this sentiment “this is why you serve God, because he will take care of us- he will bless us”.
But then things don’t go so well… The worship practice and the culture of life changes beyond what they expected.
Now they must worship the king…
There was a problem in the last 20 years where we sold followers of Christ - wether we meant to or not - that we serve God because of his attributes.
How many young adults I have run into that now feel burned because…
They worked for a church and the pastor was a turd
They wanted to be the next Worship phenom and they weren’t
Their parents who were “Christians” got a divorce
I didn’t get the job at the big church
I didn’t get the husband, the wife,
I didn’t get the supernatural power to heal…
I didn’t get the Ministry
Rev. 4:8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!”
Worthy of veneration = worthy of exclusive service and worship.
Worthy - PERIOD! For no other reason than he is worthy. He is worth it!
One thing we do not understand is that we are not here on earth for the sake of life on earth - Life on earth is just bootcamp for our eternal calling and work in eternity.
Scripture is clear that we will work in heaven and we will be rewarded for our deeds while here on earth.
So we know whatever it is God gives us, it will be something resulting in great joy. Maybe it will be different for each of us, who knows? But there is a reason to believe God has a particular way of rewarding his beloved.
It appears God enjoys rewarding his Children with increased and valuable roles of responsibility!
Ephesians 3:16-21 Reveal your love for me… help me understand how worthy you are of my life.
I have the belief that God wants me blessed, healthy, financially blessed, great marriage, fruitful ministry…
But I also understand that if none of that happens I will still worship him.
Daniel 1:8 He set in place in his heart.. to never move.
Set in his heart, mind, soul, spirit
Remember Christ word: love me heart, mind soul spirit.
let me ask you a question: how attractive is a gospel presentation… hey life might suck, it may get worse… but God is worth living for.
