Everybody Knows?
Have you ever heard of the phrase “common knowledge?” It’s those concepts or things that should be pretty much known by all people because it’s so prevalent. Some might even call it common sense. It usually comes with the phase, “everybody knows that!”
It’s those things that apparently you’d have to have been living under a rock to not know about, like, “you’ve never heard of Michael Jackson?” And you quite possibly look foolish because you’re not in the know.
How many things do we consider common knowledge? Are there things we perhaps don’t share because we think people already know??
Do we feel that way about Jesus? The gospel?
At this point it could be safe to say everybody knows who Jesus is…right? I mean we’ve seen the movies. There are churches everywhere. A Bible is pretty accessible (although in some countries not really). Christianity is HUGE. Everybody knows.
True they may have heard of Jesus, but do they really know Jesus? They may know about Jesus, but do they know the gospel? The good news??
If you ran a poll on what people truly know about Jesus and the gospel, just asking simple questions, you might be surprised how much people don’t know. That’s not a knock on the world. That’s a knock on Christians.
We have our preconceived notions. We think the gospel is common knowledge. We think everybody knows. We make judgments on who we think will or won’t receive it. And we have become lazy because of it.
Consider…
Matthew 28:18-20 KJV
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Romans 10:13-15 KJV
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Not all information is common knowledge. Furthermore it would be sad if someone would remain lost in sin all because you figured he or she should have already known.
The world may know of Jesus. Tell the world who He is, what He did, why He did it, who He did it for and what it means we must do.
Because it’s too beautiful for you to not make sure it’s something that everybody does know.
On that note listen to the appropriate song, Beautiful Feet by Lecrae.

Look at it this Way: Judging and Admonishing
It seems that in some way or another everybody has an issue with telling someone that something in their life is not what God agrees with. Saying it’s wrong and doesn’t align with scripture.
I was reading an article on a well known actress who spoke about Christian roots and how she currently attends a church. In the article she ends up somehow trying to harmonize that with doing a risque sex scene in a movie. I thought quickly to myself- don’t judge. She may be a struggling Christian just like you..plank in the eye, blah blah blah…
Society has begun to get lazy or make excuses through misuse of the scriptures like he without sin cast the first stone.
I’m not perfect either; therefore I shouldn’t say anything.
We are super concerned with hurting feelings, losing friendship or looking “holier than thou”.
The church has misused the “come as you are” philosophy and changed it to “stay as you are”. We’ll accept you.
Concerned about bringing as many people to Christ by turning away none. Ever. No matter what.
And the result is nothing gets said.
Consider…
Galatians 6:1 KJV
Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
1 Corinthians 5:3-5 KJV
For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
James 5:19-20 NIV
My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
Have you ever looked at it this way? The way God looked at it? Rather than calling it judging, call it restoring? Restoring one back to the right relationship with God is love. That sounds like something a true loving brother in Christ would want to do. Right?
Ever thought about it as saving their spirit through destruction of flesh? That is their lusts, their ego, etc. Is not helping someone you love live in the Spirit rather than carnally worth it if the consequence is eternal damnation?
Ever thought about it as saving them from death and covering a multitude of sins? They will not undergo spiritual death and they, seeing the error of that sin, will probably try not to do future sins though correction and redirection!
So it doesn’t sound as mean, condescending, self righteous, judgmental or like, “oh you’re just picking on me!”, does it?
Bear in mind some things. God said to use a spirit of meekness and to speak in love. Also, make sure your motive is truly that which we’ve mentioned above. Be sure the one you correct needs correction. Don’t judge blindly. Talk to them rather than accuse.
But don’t take the lazy way out and deny the world and the church that loving act of admonition and restoration. The Word of God has already done the judging. It’s already been bound in heaven. Help others align with that Word.
Look at it this way.

The Misinterpretation of Love
Love…
What the world says about love:
Love me no matter what.
Love is love.
Love is always a good thing.
Love is acceptance.
We’re in love so it’s okay
What God says about love:
1 John 2:15 KJV
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Matthew 10:37 KJV
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
John 14:15 KJV
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 12:43 KJV
For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
John 3:16 KJV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
1 John 4:8 KJV
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Love is truly a beautiful thing! Not only is it beautiful, but it’s necessary. It means so much to the world. It’s what we live for, work for, fight for and die for.
Love is powerful. In fact, love is so powerful that the misunderstanding of love and or the misuse of love can be damaging, misleading and even deadly.
Love is then no longer beautiful.
A man cheats on his wife because he loves another woman. Is this beautiful love? It’s okay as long as they love each other…right?
Another works everyday, misses church and has no time for his family because he is focused on money and success. He…loves it. Is this what love should be?
Is love the right kind of love when it conflicts with another love? Which one is right?
So then all love isn’t good and beautiful love.
Love is also no longer beautiful on the surface when it is coupled with discipline, correction or truth.
More Bible examples of love:
God disciplines those He loves.
Speaking the truth in love.
But wait! Love is supposed to feel good! So if the truth hurts, this isn’t love… But it is.
If you love me you would…
…Accept who I am? No. What you’re really wanting to avoid is correction and accountability under the protection of love.
…Not lay a finger on your child. Is not disciplining your child love?? Does that help your child?
…Live and let live. To not correct in love and just let the world be as it is is to live and let DIE. If you see me headed to my doom and you do not say something because you don’t want to hurt my feelings, you have misinterpreted love.
So…
Love me no matter what: I do love you, but at some point that love will come in the form of correction, honesty or discipline.
Love is love: yeah but not all love is really love.
Love is always a good thing: are you sure about that?
Love is acceptance: To accept is not to condone. For me to say it’s wrong does not negate the love, it proves it.
God knows love. He is love. He shows love in sacrifice. He loves us. But He corrects us. He tells us when we’ve erred. He loves all but He also judges righteously enough to reward those who obey and punish those who do not.
If you truly believe in love, apply love this way: if you love me you will keep my commandments.
Most importantly, Jesus loved enough to suffer and die for all who DO NOT love Him. Even the very ones who killed Him. That’s Love.
Don’t misunderstand love. Don’t love things God hates. Don’t use love as a crutch. Don’t use love to overrule doing what’s right. Don’t say the person that corrects you or tells you the truth doesn’t love you. Fight for, live for, work for the right kind of love. Understand real love.
This will make all the difference in the world.

The Little Rock in Your Shoe
I have a little pebble in my shoe and it’s driving me crazy. But it got me thinking…
This rock is tiny. But it really aggravates me…and it affects my walk! It’s annoying. Why?
One, it’s in a small place that only has room for my foot, socks and nothing else. Nothing else FITS. Any other addition and three is a crowd.
Two, big things come in small packages? That goes for both good and bad things. Even though we take it lightly it may prove to be more mountain than molehill.
Consider that shoe as your heart. God and His Word are your foot and sock. Sin is that rock. That little sin or those few sins have no place in there. It doesn’t FIT. You notice it because it affects your walk…in Christ. No matter how hard you try to dismiss it as a tiny pebble, it’s bothering you isn’t it?
Let’s be honest. Some of us have quite a few pebbles in our shoe and you know how one feels already!
Eventually, you get irritated enough to stop, take off your shoe and remove the rock from your shoe. Do you recall how that made you feel? How was your walk afterward? Feels much better.
Consider what sin, no matter how small, can do to your walk in Christ. Be irritated with your sin! Realize how much larger sin is than you think! Then, stop and pull the rock out of your shoe before these rocks cause you to stop walking altogether.
Consider…the rock in the rich young ruler’s shoe…
Mark 10:17-22 NIV
And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
Blessings in your Christian walk!
