<\/iframe><\/p>\nThey say you can\u2019t judge a book by its cover, but I beg to differ. \u00a0Candace Flynn-Fletcher said it best when she told her mom, \u201c\u2026that\u2019s why books have covers \u2013 to judge them.\u201d (That\u2019s for all you Phineas and Ferb fans).<\/p>\nAnyway, there\u2019s a children\u2019s Bible story book that I have loved since the second I read the cover. \u00a0It\u2019s Bill Ross\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Hey-Thats-What-Bible-Says-ebook\/dp\/B003X2727Q\/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1468622216&sr=8-2&keywords=hey+that%27s+not+what+the+bible+says#nav-subnav\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Hey, That\u2019s Not What the Bible Says!<\/a>\u00a0 <\/em>It\u2019s a collection of ten well-known Bible stories that Ross turns on their collective ears, prompting children to exclaim the book\u2019s title, \u201cHey, that\u2019s not what the Bible says!\u201d and then Ross includes the actual Biblical text, setting the stage for great conversations about life, God, and what He wants for our lives. \u00a0One of my favorites stars Jesus Christ\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote>\u2026Jesus grew up, and He began to teach people about God. One evening, after teaching all day, Jesus got into a boat with His closes friends and He took a nap.<\/em><\/p>\nA wild storm came, and waves crashed against the boat. Jesus\u2019 friends were frightened. They woke Jesus up. \u201cSave us, Jesus! Or we\u2019ll drown!\u201d they screamed.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7996\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7996\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7996\" src=\"https:\/\/christianpodcastcentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/New-Testament-Nuclear-Submarine.png\" alt=\"IMAGE: BOB ROSS\" width=\"550\" height=\"300\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7996\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">IMAGE: BOB ROSS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nJesus quickly reached down, found the secret control panel, and flipped the secret power switch. Instantly the little fishing boat was transformed into a watertight, nuclear-powered, New Testament submarine!<\/em><\/p>\n(say it with me)\u00a0Hey, that\u2019s not what the Bible says!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nJesus simply spoke to the storm. He said, \u201cBe still,\u201d and all was calm. His friends were amazed when they saw that Jesus could control the weather.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nMark\u2019s Gospel lays out this story, and after the wind stopped, Jesus asked His disciples, \u201cWhy are you afraid? Do you have no faith?\u201d (Mark 4:35-41)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nSo, why am I bringing up this book? \u00a0Do I believe we need more nuclear-powered, New Testament submarines? \u00a0No. \u00a0Do I enjoy yanking my kids\u2019 chains when I read bedtime stories to them\u2026 well, maybe.<\/p>\nBut, the real impetus behind me harkening back to Bob Ross\u2019 inspirational work of art\u2026 is recent historical events. \u00a0News headlines that will certainly become chapters of future history books.<\/p>\nI\u2019m talking about the terrorist attacks in Boston, Brussels,\u00a0Paris,\u00a0Orlando, San Bernardino, Istanbul, and Nice among hundreds of others across the globe, persecution of Christians, Jews and Shia Muslims by ISIS, Al Queda and Boko Haram, attacks on our nation\u2019s police officers in Dallas,\u00a0 senseless profiling and attacks on people of color,\u00a0riots in the streets of Ferguson, Baltimore,\u00a0New York, Chicago, St. Paul, Baton Rouge, Black Lives Matter, our vicious\u00a02016\u00a0Presidential\u00a0election cycle\u2026 and this is just the tip of the iceberg!<\/p>\nCollectively, we are living in the midst of a sociological storm that makes the tempest that Jesus and His Disciples sailed in look like a light drizzle.<\/p>\nPeople are afraid.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7998\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7998\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7998\" src=\"https:\/\/christianpodcastcentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Stop-the-Fear.png\" alt=\"Image: CTURTLETRAX\" width=\"550\" height=\"300\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7998\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image: CTURTLETRAX<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMy black friends are afraid of police officers. \u00a0My Democrat friends are afraid of Republicans. \u00a0My Republican friends are afraid of Democrats\u2026 and some of them are afraid of Trump. \u00a0People are afraid of traveling. \u00a0They\u2019re afraid of large crowds. \u00a0They\u2019re afraid of driving at night.<\/p>\nI remember hearing repeatedly, in the immediate days after September 11th, that if we live in fear then we allow the terrorists to win. \u00a0Well, here we are 15 years later\u2026 and if not them, then somebody else has us collectively scared enough to be on the losing end.<\/p>\nI can\u2019t help but wonder\u2026<\/p>\nIf Jesus were to come onto the scene, would he look around at all of us who call ourselves Christians and ask if we have any faith.<\/p>\nDo we?<\/p>\nDo we have enough faith that we KNOW with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that, if we follow God\u2019s calling on our lives, we will be protected? \u00a0And even if we are not protected, do we have the kind of faith that Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego had when they faced certain death yet said to King Nebuchadnezzar,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\u201cIf we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power\u2026 But even if he doesn\u2019t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.\u201d (Daniel 3:17-18)<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nDid you catch that? \u00a0They basically proclaimed, \u201cGod is able to keep us safe! BUT, even if He decides NOT to keep us safe, we\u2019re not afraid!\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nDid you know that the phrase, \u201cDo not be afraid\u201d or others carrying the same meaning are written 365 times throughout the Bible? \u00a0Ironically (or perhaps purposefully) that\u2019s a reminder for every single day of the year\u2026 with the exception of leap year, I guess, so maybe we\u2019re supposed to go crazy with fear ever four years on February 29th. \u00a0But, HEY, THAT\u2019S NOT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS!<\/strong><\/p>\nHere\u2019s my point\u2026<\/p>\nThere is a place in this world for healthy fear. \u00a0We tell our kids all the time that they must have a healthy fear of the ocean and its waves if they ever want to enjoy a day at the beach. Without an understanding that the waves are bigger than you and they keep on coming so you better be ready, then you can have fun riding them instead of being rolled by them.<\/p>\nWe also need to have a healthy fear of our parents. \u00a0Now, of course, this brand of \u201cfear\u201d, is an honoring. \u00a0It\u2019s a \u201cfear\u201d (for lack of a better word) that pops into a teenager\u2019s brain when they are about to go do something stupid that says, \u201cHEY! Would your parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles approve of this?\u201d \u00a0It\u2019s a fear that brings about respect for our parents, even after we become parents ourselves because we now have a clue of what we put our moms and dads through.<\/p>\nWe need to have a healthy fear of our authorities. \u00a0Yes, we have the right to free speech in this nation, but I promise that if you cuss out your boss, your free speech will land you in the unemployment line real fast. \u00a0I have friends whose homes are adjacent to giant fields that were ablaze a few years ago; and you can bet they had a healthy fear of the firefighters who pounded on their door and told them to get the heck out of Dodge. \u00a0If they blew off the firemen and didn\u2019t respect their urgent message immediately, not only was it likely that their homes and belongings would have been scorched, but so would all their neighbor\u2019s homes as the flames were likely to bounce from house to house. \u00a0A healthy fear of the flames and those trained to fight them saved a lot of people that day.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7997\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7997\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7997 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/christianpodcastcentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Psalm-111-10.jpg\" alt=\"Psalm-111-10\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7997\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image: Esme Randle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAnd, yes\u2026 we need to have a healthy fear of the police. \u00a0All of us do. \u00a0Even as a white\/pacific islander, when I see a cop in my rear view, I turn down the radio, slide my hands to 10 and 2 on the wheel and behave as politely as humanly possible when I get pulled over. \u00a0And that\u2019s neither me being afraid that I\u2019m going to be shot, nor is it me trying to manipulate my way out of a ticket. \u00a0It\u2019s me having the due respect for the EXTREMELY high percentage of cops out there who stand where I don\u2019t stand every day \u2013 between the bad guys and the good guys, keeping the good guys safe, as we saw in Dallas and Baton Rouge.<\/p>\nAnd then, the Bible tells us over and over again that we ought to fear God. \u00a0Because the truth is that fearing God saves us from caving into our own desires that go against His will. \u00a0As Christians \u2013 and if it\u2019s not clear enough already, I am addressing all those who call themselves \u201cChrist Followers\u201d \u2013 our life\u2019s goal is to live according to God\u2019s will for our lives\u2026 not our own. \u00a0Given to our own whims, none of us would stay married, or stick around and be faithful parents, or file our taxes honestly, or be honest in anything. \u00a0It\u2019s simply too costly and too much of a pain in the neck to remain in these relationships and be loving, joyful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle and full of self-control at all times. \u00a0In fact, only by \u201cfearing\u201d God is this even possible. \u00a0But, oh are the rewards worth it!<\/p>\nNow, In light of the crazy violent and almost inexplicable events of recent months, weeks and even days, I have heard many people ask: \u201cHow are we supposed to react to this? \u00a0How do we explain this to our children?\u00a0What do we do now?\u201d<\/p>\nI find God\u2019s answer right there in black and white. \u00a0It\u2019s in a verse that I sang at church as a kid, and that rings in my heart and my head whenever I wonder what on earth I\u2019m supposed to do. \u00a0The answer is found in Micah 6:8,<\/p>\n<blockquote>He has shown you, Oh man, what is good and what the Lord requires of you: to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nAnother translation puts it in more colloquial terms:<\/p>\n<blockquote>This is what God wants from you:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nBe fair to other people.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u00a0 Love kindness and loyalty,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u00a0 and humbly obey your God.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nAnd when we live like this, it makes it that much easier to live according to the words the Bible repeats over and over and over again: Do not be afraid!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"They say you can\u2019t judge a book by its cover, but I beg to differ. \u00a0Candace Flynn-Fletcher said it best when she told her mom, \u201c\u2026that\u2019s why books have covers \u2013 to judge them.\u201d (That\u2019s for all you Phineas and Ferb fans).
