Evolution

The question on evolution, and what it means to our faith came up a lot! Everything from people challenging your faith because of evolution all the way to how does Christianity mix with science.

Let’s start with this. All truth is God’s truth. Everything that is actually, and factually true will be from God. However, this does not mean that everything that science says is automatically true.

We must always keep in mind that scientists, are flawed, just like the rest of us. They will automatically look at the world through a lens. It is the scientists that recognize that, that are the most helpful.

There are many scientists, Christian and non-Christian alike that disagree with all or some parts of evolutionary theory. The reasons differ as to why that is the case, but the thing to remember is that simply because you don’t buy into whatever a scientist is currently saying does not make you dumb or ignorant. It makes you convicted.

See at Compassion Christian Church we look to the Bible as our highest authority, and the Bible is very clear, God made the world. That means that no matter what disagrees with that; tradition, human beliefs, or scientific opinion, we must always look back to what the Bible has to say.

Denominations

We are not a part of a denomination, and that is on purpose. When denominations began, it was out of a need to distinguish the medieval church from the misgivings that were taking place in the Catholic Church at the time.

This means that the declaring of a denomination was a distinguishing line between “Christian” and “Not Christian”. In other words, if you were this denomination you were in, if you were this denomination you were out.

We do not believe that we are “the only Christians”, therefore we are not a denomination. There will be people from lots of denominations in heaven. The things that are important are the essential doctrines of the faith, and today there are 30,000 denominations because people take a non-essential thing (like worship style/clothing/etc.) and make it into something that they split the church over.

This is why we always look to the Bible as our highest authority, we always want to turn back to what it says.

Other Religions

Today we are often told that all religions are the same. The people that say this are trying to make things easier for people, but in doing so they are negating parts from every religion. Christianity differs from all other religions in very significant ways. Below is a list, while not exhaustive, hopefully it is help to show some distinctions between Christianity and other world religions.

Islam – Does not teach that Jesus (or as they call Him, Isa) was God. This means that Jesus’ death on the cross cannot cover our sins, and we are still guilty in the eyes of the Lord.
Mormonism – Often confused as a denomination, Mormonism teaches that Jesus was created and therefore not eternal. Instead they teach that he is “a” god, while Christianity teaches that Jesus is “the” God.
Hinduism/Buddhism/Many other eastern religions – While they potentially do not deny the deity of Jesus, he is not the highest God, nor is he the only God. Christianity teaches that there is one God, and that God is Trinitarian in nature.

One thing to notice, all of these differences always point back to who Jesus is/was. This is usually where things go astray for other religions, and why we place a high value on the fact that Jesus is 100% God, and 100% man, and that he died for our sins.

Salvation

Salvation means “to be saved”, and in order to understand what it means to be saved we need to understand what we are being saved from.

We live in a lost and fallen world on a downward spiral of separation from God. You and everyone you have ever known (other than Jesus) is a sinner and has a sinful nature within them. Sin is whenever we choose something other than God, His will, or His standards.

God, because He loves us, extends the gifts of grace and forgiveness to us. We receive that through faith in Him. This means that by believing in who He is, and responding as the scriptures instruct, we can receive those gifts.

When someone comes to the point of having faith, we believe scripture commands that those desiring to put their faith in Christ are commanded to:

Repent of their sins.

Repentance means to acknowledge to God why you need Him and revealing your shortcomings before God. It is about turning around (which is what repentance means). This is a turning from self and turning towards God.

Confess their faith.

Confession is about acknowledging your need for God in front of others. Confessing that you believe God is who He says He is and that Jesus Christ is His son and your Savior.

Be baptized into Him.

The last part for how someone puts their faith in Jesus is baptism. Baptism by submersion is the symbol of your obedience to God. This is always done by someone who is old enough to understand the decision they are making and what that decision represents. It is the first act of obedience, in what will be a life of obedience under God’s will.

That’s it. There is nothing magical, or nothing fancy about it. It is about trusting God, letting others know that you do, and being obedient to His call on your life.

Is the God of the Old Testament the same as the God of the New Testament?

At the very heart of this question lies a fundamental misunderstanding of what both the Old and New Testaments reveal about the nature of God. Another way of expressing this same basic thought is when people say, “The God of the Old Testament is a God of wrath while the God of the New Testament is a God of love.” The fact that the Bible is God’s progressive revelation of Himself to us through historical events and through His relationship with people throughout history might contribute to misconceptions about what God is like in the Old Testament as compared to the New Testament. However, when one reads both the Old and the New Testaments, it becomes evident that God is not different from one testament to another and that God’s wrath and His love are revealed in both testaments.

Because of God’s righteous and holy character, all sin—past, present, and future—must be judged. Yet God in His infinite love has provided a payment for sin and a way of reconciliation so that sinful man can escape His wrath. We see this wonderful truth in verses like 1 John 4:10: “This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” In the Old Testament, God provided a sacrificial system whereby atonement could be made for sin. However, this sacrificial system was only temporary and merely looked forward to the coming of Jesus Christ who would die on the cross to make a complete substitutionary atonement for sin. The Savior who was promised in the Old Testament is fully revealed in the New Testament. Only envisioned in the Old Testament, the ultimate expression of God’s love, the sending of His Son Jesus Christ, is revealed in all its glory in the New Testament. Both the Old and the New Testaments were given “to make us wise unto salvation” (2 Timothy 3:15). When we study the Testaments closely, it is evident that God “does not change like shifting shadows” (James 1:17). (answer from gotquestions.org)

Hell

There were lots of questions surrounding Hell, but honestly Hell is not a fun topic to focus on. It is a very real place, and it is very very bad. It is eternal (Matthew 25:46), terrible (Matthew 13:50), and lonely (2 Thessalonians 1:9).

We all know that God is love, and that is completely true. God is also completely righteous and just and it is this justice that requires hell to exist. We have committed a massive attack towards God in sinning. He in His righteousness must hold sin accountable, it isn’t something He can just “look passed”. That is why Hell exists, but it is also why Jesus’ death on the cross is so important.

Somehow the penalty for sin must be paid. That happens either with Jesus on the cross (for believers), or for eternity in hell (for non-believers). See oftentimes we are mistaken and think that Satan rules over hell, he doesn’t. Satan is the first one cast into hell (Revelation 20:10), and he is roaming the earth now (Ephesians 2:2) trying to take as many people as he can with him.

That’s why it’s important to understand hell, someone is trying to take you there. It is through the power of Jesus that anyone can avoid that fate. Once we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior our sin no longer condemns us. We are made free in light of what Jesus did on the Cross.

Predestination

The question of predestination comes in two fashions. 1. Are people chosen by God from before they are born to go to heaven or hell? and 2. Can people lose their salvation?

The difficulty with this question is that the word predestine is in the bible, and is often misunderstood. Jesus Christ is the predestined One. Before all time, Jesus knew He was the God’s chosen One. The word predestined throughout all of scriptures then means that once we are a part of the church (after we have freely chosen to give our lives to Christ) we then participate in being predestined with Jesus.

And so that’s why scripture uses the language of free will. “And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Acts 2:21).
First off, “losing your salvation” is not a thing. You lose your keys, you don’t just misplace your salvation. However, you can choose to renounce your faith. In the same way that you chose to follow God, you are capable of turning your back on Him.

Once we accept Jesus as the Lord and Savior of our lives (see You Asked For It on Salvation) the Holy Spirit is going to convict us of sin in our lives. There is only one sin that can separate us from God, in scripture referred to as “blasphemy of the Holy Spirit”, and this is exactly the sin for believers of giving up their Salvation. As the Spirit convicts us of our sin, if we listen to Him and continue to follow after God we will never desire to give up our salvation, this is the assurance promised in 1 John 5:13, “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life. However, if we continually turn a deaf ear toward the Spirit and refuse to listen we will either eventually turn back to Him and start growing again or blaspheme Him and stop following after God.

Miracles

People often wonder if miracles really happen, or if they still occur in our world today. Miracles are very real and still happen today because we follow a loving God.

Miracles are when the supernatural world intervene in the natural world. The truth is that because God has always existed and always will exist, he chooses to reveal himself to us through miracles at various times in history. Throughout the Bible we see miracle after miracle of God showing that He is the one true God. Everything from a pillar of fire (1 Kings 18:38), to stopping the sun (Joshua 10:13), to making the walls of Jericho fall down (Joshua 6:20).

We can see many miracles throughout the life of Jesus, starting with His incarnation (which just means to be in flesh) that we celebrate every Christmas. Jesus healed the sick, drove out demons, fed the hungry, restored sight to the blind, raised the dead, cleansed the spiritually dirty, and perhaps most importantly defeated our sins once and for all in rising from the grave.

Well you might be thinking to yourself I get that miracles occur in the past in the Bible and life of Jesus but do they still occur in our world today? I’m here to let you that yes, miracles still do occur today and that’s because our God is just as active in the world today as ever before. In fact, we often overlook the greatest miracle of all that has occurred in every Christian’s heart. This is the life-altering decision to accept Jesus Christ as one’s personal Lord and Savior. The miracle of human conversion tops all others in that it brings eternal life through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.

Trinity

This will be a tough one to answer here, if you have any additional questions about this please email gschuette@compassionchristian.com. The Trinity is one of the central aspects of the Christian faith. It says, we believe in One God, in three persons of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. We do not believe in Three Gods, and we do not believe that the Father, Son, and Spirit are different expressions of the One God. I know that seems intense, I’m going to discuss two ways that help me understand the Trinity, whenever you use analogies for these types of things they will eventually break down, but hopefully they help you as well.

The ancients talked about a thing called the “perichoresis”, another way to think of it is “the Divine Dance”. Imagine three people standing in a circle holding hands. Now they start spinning and dancing. Speed them up, over, and over, and over again until they are beyond infinitely fast. All you can see now is the One circle of the the dance. They are still three persons, but they are One.
The second analogy that helps me is a mathematical analogy. So hopefully the dance works for all the creative people, and this might help more analytical people. When we think of the Trinity we automatically hop to the equations of 1+1+1 = 3 and 1=1. Neither of those tell the full or correct picture of the Trinity. The first equation misses the Oneness of God and the second the Three persons of God. A more accurate equation is 1 x 1 x 1 = 1. God is Three persons, yet One God.

Ultimately, the important thing about the Trinity to remember is that it is true and difficult. Augustine of Hippo said to remember this, “God is one. The Father is God. The Son is God. The Spirit is God. The Father is not the Son. The Son is not the Spirit. The Spirit is not the Father.” That’s it. If you are struggling with this please don’t hesitate to contact us!

Deity of Christ

A lot of other religions, and atheists, teach that Jesus did exist, but that He was just some guy. Maybe He was a great teacher, an inspirational pastor, or even a prophet, but never the one true God Himself. That statement falls solely on Christianity as a truth. We believe that Jesus was 100% human, and 100% God.

I know what you are thinking, “how can someone be 100% of two different things?” Traditionally the answer to this question is what’s called the “hypostatic union”. All it means is that Christ has two natures in one body. Here is why this is important.

Man owes the penalty for sin, but can’t pay it. God doesn’t owe it but could pay it. So Jesus in being both God and man can pay it for us, which is what He did. Another huge benefit of Jesus being completely human is that he has experienced every temptation that we can experience and yet stood strong against them (Hebrews 4:15). He is able to help us in our temptation.

Sabbath

The word Sabbath comes from a Hebrew word meaning rest. The Bible says that we should remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. (Exodus 20:8)

The Sabbath is a blessing given to us by God who in His infinite wisdom knew this would be both good for us and pleasing to Him. In this day of rest you focus yourself on God and allow him to have all of you.

God himself took a day where He rested from his work of the creation of the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 2:2) So if the God of the universe thought it was imperative to have a day of rest than we should definitely implement the Sabbath into our busy lives. Taking a day of rest says to God, “I believe that I can do more in six days with You, than in seven days without You.” It allows Him to remain in control.

Why is Church important

One of the most misquoted verses in all of the Bible is Matthew 18:20, “For where two or three gather in my name, there I am with them.” This is obviously true, it is in Scripture, but what exactly does it mean. Does it mean that you can go out fishing with two of your friends and that counts as church?

No, going to church is a gathering of individuals to worship God and hear his Word proclaimed. This might look different depending on the church that you attend, but it is always worship of the one true God and reading from His Word.

Come, enjoy church, worship the God that made you. Then go and be the church to a hurting world that needs Jesus.

Expecting Christian behavior from Non-Christians

This question comes up in a bunch of different forms, but the answer is always the same. We can not expect someone to live like a Christian before they are a Christian, they don’t have the Spirit, it is an impossibility.

When someone gives their life to Jesus and is baptized they are beginning a journey that will take them through the rest of their lives. They receive the gift of the Holy Spirit and hopefully, in this journey they will learn to listen to the Spirit more fully and grow in Christlikeness.

However, non-Christians haven’t started this journey yet. They don’t have the Spirit living inside of them. To ask a non-Christian to live up to some post-Spirit standard is asking the wrong question. Jesus loves them (and yes accepts them) where they are, the difference between what the world says and what Jesus says

Another Perspective: If My Child Were to Struggle with Same-Sex Sexual Temptation

By: Phil Roberts
Recently, I’ve read two somewhat similar articles on the subject of young people who are choosing to live a gay lifestyle, and how that relates to the church and to Christian families/individuals. Anyone reading those articles might reasonably come away believing that there are two—and only two—approaches to this issue, both quite extreme: Either 1) we respond in a way that is rigid, venomous, hateful, phobic and humiliating; or, 2) we respond with full, uninhibited endorsement, celebration, encouragement and approval.

In rejecting both of those approaches, I’ve written this letter, a variation of one of those two articles. It is a direct approach that I could actually someday use with any of my children who were ever to struggle with same-sex sexual temptation:

My dear child,
I consider it quite possible that you could be dealing with some form of same-sex sexual temptation. Especially in our day and age, that would not surprise me.

If you are dealing with this, then you definitely need to know where your father stands. Certainly you have seen a very ungodly approach to your struggle…by segments of society, by segments of Christians, possibly by members of your own extended family—those whom you might wish to seek help from. So where is it even safe to turn?

As a pastor and a parent, then, I wanted to make some promises to God and to you in case you are experiencing this struggle now or in the future…

1) If you are struggling with same-sex sexual temptation, I will love you.
There is nothing that could change my love for you. Nothing. No matter what struggles you have or choices you make—even if you curse and hate me—I will love you until the day I die. Because our whole family went through the fire together in 2005 and 2012, through life and death and life, and because I had my heart wrenched out of me when I said goodbye to your sister… I believe that I feel that love for you even more vividly than otherwise.

If you should ever come to me and admit that you have this struggle, or even if you don’t, my love for you will not change. Guaranteed.
I am your Daddy. Always. I love you.

2) If you are struggling with same-sex sexual temptation, I will have extra compassion for you.
No one wants to feel what you’re feeling: Uncertainty, pain, and real inner conflict.

Whether you believe that you were born with this struggle, or whether you feel that life circumstances have fostered it, or some combination of both, I know that you didn’t ask for this.

And that doesn’t seem fair.

Furthermore, some temptations have way bigger repercussions than others, externally and internally, whether acted upon or not. This struggle is most definitely one of those, no matter what anyone says.

That also doesn’t seem fair.

Because of all this, I will extend extra compassion toward you. Lovingly, I will comfort you. Lovingly, I will pray for you. Even with hard truths that I need to share with you, I will always do so in a spirit of love and compassion.

I promise this.

Such extra compassion is Christlike, if you ask me. Jesus had particular compassion on crowds and individuals who had big needs. His ‘heart went out to’ one woman. He ‘looked at and loved’ a man who was moments away from rejecting Him.

I want to offer that same kind of compassion to you.

3) If you are struggling with same-sex temptation, I will deal with you graciously and truthfully.
My relationship with Jesus is nothing more than the result of my response to both His grace and His truth (both of which He initiated).

I struggle with temptation. At times I have sinned. At times I still do sin. (Surely you’ve noticed.) I am forgiven by God’s grace. Only by His grace. And so will you be if you choose.

And yet what is true does not change.

Jesus struggled with temptation. He was tempted in every way just as we are (but did not sin). The kinds of temptation that He faced, and that we all face, are ‘common to man.’ Being tempted itself is not wrong.

But sin is wrong. It hurts God. It hurts others. It hurts the one who sins.

When Jesus saved a woman from judgmental wrath in John 8, He nonetheless commanded her, “Go now and leave your life of sin.” This was grace…and truth. Using an Old Covenant definition of what qualifies as heterosexual sexual sin, Jesus offered her a kind of grace that she wouldn’t have seen anywhere else. And yet Jesus was—let’s call it what it is—rather inflexible with the truth. The life she had been living was sinful, He said. She needed to leave it behind.

The law was given through Moses, John 1 says. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
If you struggle with same-sex temptation, I will offer you grace. But never without truth...because real grace is not experienced by compromising or omitting truth.

The changed man Paul, a former Old Testament legalist who fiercely championed grace, defined what real saving grace really looks like to the young man Titus when he wrote: “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.” (Titus 2:11-14, italics mine)

Real grace does not deny what sin is…or our need to repent from it. In fact, it equips us to face it and turn from it. This is victory.

In that spirit of grace and truth, if you are struggling with same-sex sexual temptation, I want to share with you some firm truths about this temptation, from Scripture and from observing life:

Struggling with same-sex sexual temptation is not sin. Even if it feels to you like a worse temptation than others, or a ‘dirty’ temptation, a temptation toward same-sex sexual behavior—like any temptation—is common to mankind.
Same-sex sexual temptation will probably never completely go away from you in this lifetime, as unfair as that may seem
The nature of all temptation, and of the liar behind it all, is that any sin—including the behavior that same-sex sexual temptation invites you into—is presented as perfectly normal, natural, harmless, reasonable, and even beneficial. And yet it is none of those.
Indulging in same-sex sexual behavior, according to the Bible, is sin. It separates you from God. (Only God determines whether it fully and eternally will separate someone from Him.) Both Old and New Testaments (despite arguments designed to explain away these Scriptures) make it clear beyond any reasonable doubt that same-sex sexual behavior: is never endorsed by God; is not pleasing to God; goes against the way that He has formed our bodies; and—if embraced and not turned from, like all other sins—would invoke God’s wrath and judgment. If God did desire the definitions of sexual behavior and marriage and gender to be altered, He did not make those desires at all clear in His Word.
With the presence of a faithful God in our lives, you are promised that you won’t be tempted with same-sex sexual temptation beyond what you can bear, and that God will provide a way out of it so that you can stand up under it. This way out may include abstaining from any kind of sexual relationship or marriage, living an asexual life. (I know many people who live a wonderful and contented life without a spouse or a sexual relationship. Your mother and I don’t need grandchildren, in-laws, etc. We would love you just as much if you were to remain celibate and single.) But changing the definition of temptation and sin…is anything but a way out.
If you give in to same-sex sexual temptation by indulging in same-sex sexual sin, whether it is just one time or many times, God wants you to repent and turn from this (just like He wants you or me to turn from and repent of any other kind of sin), and He stands ready to forgive and restore you. There is always a road back for all of us who are prodigal children who come to our senses. God meets us more than halfway, running.
God is a Redeemer. If you allow Him, He will take your same-sex sexual temptation that you are standing up under, and He will make it part of your testimony to His presence and goodness. If you allow Him, He will take your same-sex sexual sin that you’ve repented from, and He will use that to help others find their way back to Him. God loves to take brokenness and use it simultaneously for His children’s good and for His glory. This can be a painful process, sometimes lifelong, but this is part of what following Him as a disciple entails. And it is always ultimately good.

4) If you choose to indulge in same-sex sexual sin, our family will respond just as a healthy family would respond to any family member who chooses to indulge in sexual sin

For the sake of argument, if I—as your father, and the husband of your mother—were to commit flat-out adultery, how would you feel about this, and how would you respond internally and externally and as a family? I’ll present to you some interesting options to consider:

Would you deem that I was just ‘born adulterous’, and say that I would be ‘living a lie’ to do something so prohibitive to my identity as remaining faithful to your mother?
Would you celebrate my acceptance of my fully adulterous identity, and applaud my courage for (openly or secretly) being true to my adulterous orientation?
Would you determine that Old Testament commands prohibiting adultery were as irrelevant for us today as are Old Testament laws about mildew and slaves, and that Jesus in the New Testament really only dealt in unconditional love and forgiveness, and that New Testament references to adultery really are referring just to forcible adultery/rape, and that God most certainly must smile upon my relationship with my new soulmate?
Would you blame harsh repercussions that I experience— professionally, personally, socially, spiritually, emotionally— solely upon people who act ungraciously toward adulterers like myself, promising me that it will get better in time?
Would you liken my character and the respectability of my cause with the likes of the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. and the cause of once-enslaved African-Americans?
Would you contend that my adultery never negatively impacted your family, but in fact only made your family more honorable and diverse?

The truth is that if I—heaven forbid—ever did commit this sin of adultery, I would expect a number of responses: I would expect that you would experience feelings of sadness and betrayal and embarrassment about my actions; I would expect that you would tell me—in no uncertain terms—that what I had done was wrong; I would expect that my sinful behavior would not in any way change your definition of sin, or of marriage, or of God’s expectations for sexual and marital purity; I would expect you to struggle with who to share my problems with, and who to keep it from, and how to even approach me and relate to me from that point forward; I would expect that you would hold me personally responsible—regardless of how other people inappropriately treated me—for the inevitable negative consequences that came upon me and upon your family; and I would expect you to have a difficult time in determining what my relationship to the rest of the family would and could really look like…until I repented, and even afterward.

And you should expect essentially the same if you as a cherished family member choose to go from struggling with same-sex sexual temptation…to a choice to indulge in same-sex sexual sin.

We would respond in these ways not because we don’t love you…but because we do.

And yet we love God. And we worship Him alone, not our children. And consequently, our standards of behavior are based upon His Word, and not upon our children’s choices.

Consider this little parable:
A young boy is about to run and get his ball that is rolling away from him. An adult standing nearby calmly tells him to run and get his ball before it goes too far. Another adult who is there firmly tells the boy “No” before tackling him to the ground.

Now which of these two adults is most loving? (Seems kind of obvious, doesn’t it?)

Yet now consider that there’s one part of the story I haven’t told you: The little boy’s ball actually rolled onto a train track, right into the path of an oncoming train.

Now which of these two adults would you say is the more loving one? Not the one who sent him toward something that seemed good...but the one who saved him from something that would have destroyed him.

Consider now in the face of your own real struggle that the one who firmly tells you “No” would do anything to save you. Anything. And He has. On a cross. To save you, and me, from our very real sins.

I love you and our family enough to allow you, with any struggle you have, to be ‘tackled’ by this One who wants to see you saved, and complete, and truly with Him (now and forever). It is the most loving thing I can do.

And I hope that you will allow Him to do that, trusting Him for what you cannot now see, if you will only remain faithful in the face of your most excruciating struggles and temptations. I will help you do that in any way that I can.

Whatever you choose, I will always be here for you, loving you as gracefully and truthfully in the Spirit of Jesus as He gives me the power to do...
Dad
