Of course, I am talking about the one and only animated series called The Simpsons. They’re a middle class family living somewhere in the Midwest United States, and there is something for everyone in that Springfield universe.

If you’re a dad, you can very much relate to Homer. The joys and frustrations of parenting are so brilliantly portrayed through the man who genuinely prayed, “Dear God, give the bald guy a break. Amen.”

Or maybe you’re a fan of the blue-haired Marge, who keeps Homer on an even keel and dispenses great wisdom for moms of rebellious kids like Bart, or over-achieving ones like Lisa.

Speaking of which—maybe you’re a fan of them, as well? And if not, you can choose from Krusty the Clown, Dr. Hibbert, Moe the bartender, The Reverend Lovejoy or police chief Clancy Wiggum!

And for an astounding 27 years, this crew has been a comedic staple in Americana culture that has brought nearly as much insight into culture as it has laughter and amusement.

I bet you thought I left out one of the best characters—right? Nope, I was saving the best for last, because it looks likely that this will be his last season with the crew.

I’m talking about Nedward “Ned” Flanders, the lovable next “diddly door” neighbor. His often over-the-top religiosity and unwavering commitment to Christian dogma has established him as one of the most—if not THE most recognized fictional name in Christianity.

And, man, does he nail all the stereotypes—both good and bad. His favorite games are The Good Samaritan and Clothe the Leper. His doorbell plays “A Mighty Fortress” and his car horn blares the “Hallelujah Chorus.” He attends church three times a week, and he is the most honest person in Springfield.

And of course, this is why he is placed right next door to his polar opposite—Homer Simpson. The juxtaposition of these two characters and the clash of their worldviews may actually be one of the reasons why The Simpsons has been one of the longest running series in television history.

You know, for a long time I was embarrassed for Ned. I thought he gave Christianity a bad name, and any Christ follower who acted like him should cease and desist immediately.

But now after all these years, I’ve realized that I myself (and plenty of other believers) could use a good dose of Ned in our lives. Sure he can be cheesy and pushy—but really, when push comes to shove, Ned exhibits one of the most critical teachings of the Bible: “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39).

This verse is pretty easy to handle when you live next door to folks who play well with others, but Homer has been nothing short of a thorn in the flash for St. Ned. From name calling to pranking to just downright cruelty, Ned has hung in there with Homer, even to the point of saving his life in dangerous circumstances.

Whenever I see Ned and his attitude towards Homer, this verse comes to mind:

Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too (Philippians 2:3-4).

This season of the Simpsons will probably see the departure of Ned Flanders, but I hope that the legacy he leaves will be a willingness on all our parts to love our neighbors as ourselves—even if he or she is a person like Homer Simpson! And remember that according to Jesus, our “neighbor” is not defined by geographical proximity. Rather it is determined by the unity of humanity being made in God’s image! In other words, the question is not “who is my neighbor?” Because the real question is “who is not my neighbor?’ And the answer is…

Nobody! Everyone with whom you come into contact is your neighbor, and some may be nice and kind, and some may be a living example of the way Homer treats Ned.

And guess what? If the world is treating you like Ned, then BE like Ned!

Because…in this ever-darkening world, we could all use a few more “Hey-Diddly-Ho Neighbor-eenos!”

And collectively as of December 31, 2015, the world has viewed the video over 860,000,000 times! Which means that as a planet, we have invested 87,720,000 hours glued to Adele, which equates to over 34,000 years watching her saying hello from the other side.

I think Adele had us at hello—don’t you?

In that same stretch of the collective clock ticking, we could watch all 6 Star Wars films over 22 million times, or walk around the world 3000 times, or better yet read the entire Bible 186,000,000 times!

But I don’t think anyone who has seen the video or listened to this masterpiece would desire that time back, because Hello has obviously struck a major (and many minor) chords with pretty much the bulk of the civilized world.

But why?

In my opinion, the genius of the lyrics doesn’t lie in the apparent commonly used theme of a breakup/makeup romantic kind of thing. No, this song strikes at the heart of humanity at a deeper level, which is one reason Adele said she wrote the song:

“I’m so attached to my whole life here. I get worked up that I’m missing out on things. So Hello is about wanting to be at home and wanting to reach out to everyone I’ve ever hurt—including myself—and apologize for it.” (Source: songfacts.com)

In other words, one way to interpret the song is through a time-bending lens where Adele is calling her younger self (from a flip phone)…

Hello, it’s me.
I was wondering if after all these years you’d like to meet,
To go over everything.
They say that time’s supposed to heal ya,
But I ain’t done much healing.

Viewing the lyrics from that perspective sure introduces an intriguing scenario, doesn’t it? It is obvious that Adele views at least some of her past with great pain and regret, as would most of us. Perhaps this is why the song has obliterated every download and views records, because to be human is to make mistakes, and the mistakes we make, make us a remorseful species indeed.

So what would you tell your younger self if you had a chance? Would you like to meet with him or her?

Unfortunately—or perhaps fortunately—none of us will ever be able to do that. But this doesn’t mean that pondering such a conversation would be a waste of time, by any means. A reflection of our past can reap great insight into how we plan and live in the future, which is why God’s Word gives us this “hello from the other side” story from thousands of years ago:

When the whole nation was finally across, God spoke to Joshua: “Select twelve men from the people, a man from each tribe, and tell them, ‘From right here, the middle of the Jordan where the feet of the priests are standing firm, take twelve stones. Carry them across with you and set them down in the place where you camp tonight.’”

Joshua called out the twelve men whom he selected from the People of Israel, one man from each tribe. Joshua directed them, “Cross to the middle of the Jordan and take your place in front of the Chest of God, your God. Each of you heft a stone to your shoulder, a stone for each of the tribes of the People of Israel, so you’ll have something later to mark the occasion. When your children ask you, ‘What are these stones to you?’ you’ll say, ‘The flow of the Jordan was stopped in front of the Chest of the Covenant of God as it crossed the Jordan—stopped in its tracks. These stones are a permanent memorial for the People of Israel’” (Joshua 4:1-7, The Message).

When God’s people entered the Promised Land that God provided for them, they were commanded by The Lord to pick out a “stone of remembrance” to mark the historic event when God miraculously parted the Jordan River so they could enter the land they so desperately desired and needed for their nation.

And my friends, I’m certain that you could also look back in your past—whether it be this last year—or the last 10 years—and remember circumstances where God has delivered you.  It is critical that you keep track of these memories and even mark them with your own “stone of remembrance,” so that in the future when you are discouraged, you can find strength and hope in those reflections on the past.

From a human perspective, we might be tempted to say hello to our past selves with a heavy tone of regret. But with Jesus Christ and His forgiveness and faithfulness, we can tell the younger us that God has forgiven and redeemed our mistakes, and He will keep us to the very end!

I’m asking because I would guess that there is at least one thing—and maybe more—that you are waiting for right now—correct?

It sure seems like we humans spend a lot of our lives waiting. Here’s how the great Dr. Seuss put it in Oh, The Places You’ll Go!…

Waiting for a train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a Yes or a No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.

Studies show that the average person will spend 43 days of a lifetime waiting on hold for customer service, and we will also spend six months of our lives just waiting in line!

But when Christmas rolls around, I am reminded that not all waiting is bad. Of course, this time of year we anxiously anticipate the gifts, the food and the time off from school, but might I suggest you add one more item to the waiting list?

No, not Santa…but Jesus Christ!

But wait, you say. Didn’t He already come to earth, and like, that’s why we are celebrating Christmas in the first place?

And you would be spot-on. His first coming is called the First Advent. Advent means “the arrival of a notable person,” and there never has been or will be a more notable Person than Jesus. He is the basis for how we count the years on our calendars, and He is the reason for this entire season. Two thousand years ago, He arrived in a humble manger as a helpless baby, attended by impoverished teenage parents and essentially homeless shepherds.

He arrived to a nation who had been waiting for a promised Savior for thousands of years. They had been persecuted, enslaved and even murdered as a people anticipating their Messiah, and with the First Advent, the waiting was over.

But the story goes on, my friends. You see, now we who follow Jesus are waiting for the Second Advent. This most notable Person will arrive again!

Matthew 16:27:  For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done.

Mark 14:61-62:  Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?” “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

Acts 1:11: “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”

Hebrews 9:28: So also Christ was offered once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him.

Matthew 24:42: “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.”

Much like Israel of old, we, as Christ followers, also are in a waiting place for the coming of Jesus Christ. And this time He will not arrive in the middle of nowhere with no widespread awareness. The Second Advent will be the appearance of the Risen Christ, accompanied by a host of angels, and the entire world will witness it!

Will you be ready? Will your friends be ready? What better time of year to tell others about Jesus the Messiah and why He is called the Savior of the World!!

So this Christmas as you remember the First Advent of Jesus Christ, rejoice in the fact that He paid the penalty for our sins and redeemed us from hell. And while you are in the “waiting place,” turn your thoughts to the Second Advent and tell your friends and family who don’t know Jesus personally about the real reason for this joy-filled Season.

Flashpoint: Ignite Into Action

This Christmas, take a look back at Jesus’ birth and rejoice! But also, take a look forward to His return, which should give us the greatest hope on earth and tell your friends about the real reason for the Season!

Accelerant: Fuel for THE Cause

Pray: Jesus, thank You for the First and Second Advent, which gives us forgiveness for the past and a hope for the future.

God saw that human evil was out of control. People thought evil, imagined evil—evil, evil, evil from morning to night. God was sorry that he had made the human race in the first place; it broke his heart…

…As far as God was concerned, the Earth had become a sewer; there was violence everywhere. God took one look and saw how bad it was, everyone corrupt and corrupting—life itself corrupt to the core (Genesis 6:5-6; 11-12, The Message).

These observations from the mind of God came from what He witnessed on earth just before the flood. As you probably know, the corruption of humanity had spun itself so recklessly out of control that the Creator had to re-create His creation! So Noah and his family were chosen to preserve mankind.

And as you also probably know, God promised not to destroy the earth again by flood, but He did promise that He was coming back! That’s why Jesus gave this warning:

Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all (Luke 17:26-27, NIV).

The context of these verses is Jesus detailing the conditions that will be prevalent on earth just prior to His return. It’s fascinating to me that He makes a comparison between that time and “the days of Noah” when evil was rampant and truth was rejected.

Of course Jesus could return at any time, but it seems quite possible that His coming might be closer than we sometimes expect!

So how should the Christ followers behave? Well, we should be obedient to what God’s Word tells us:

Since everything here today might well be gone tomorrow, do you see how essential it is to live a holy life? Daily expect the Day of God, eager for its arrival. The galaxies will burn up and the elements melt down that day—but we’ll hardly notice. We’ll be looking the other way, ready for the promised new heavens and the promised new earth, all landscaped with righteousness.

So, my dear friends, since this is what you have to look forward to, do your very best to be found living at your best, in purity and peace. Interpret our Master’s patient restraint for what it is: salvation (2 Peter 3:11-16, The Message).

What it all comes down to is perspective. Our focus needs to be centered on the amazing vision of the new heavens and the new earth. Then our own world will not be overrun with fear of terrorist violence and life’s multitude of other uncertainties, rather it will be filled with the peace and presence of God and the unconditional love with which He extends an invitation to trust in His Son Jesus. When we focus on Christ instead of carnage, we find ourselves at rest and excited about Jesus’ return.

So come step away from fear and inner turmoil, and enter into a world of “living at your best, in purity and in peace”!

The post No Turkey and Pie for You! appeared first on Dare 2 Share.

Tough question, I believe, because on the one hand, living here seems so much better than the dark and desperate Districts in that world, wouldn’t you agree?

But on the other hand, there is something so stark and real about Panem (which is post-apocalyptic America) that concurrently attracts you and disgusts you. I’m not sure I would ever want to live there, but the development of this story is so fascinating, it makes it tempting.

When I reflect on the arc of the Hunger Games narrative as it draws to a close, it occurred to me that while it is not a Christian story per se, it illustrates two very key Biblical principles upon which we would be wise to focus.

Principle #1:  We are all fallen creatures.

Panem is a vivid picture of what truly lies behind the façade of the lights and glitter of our world, which is the absolute and utter fallenness and sinfulness of humanity. Here’s the way the Bible put it:

The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil (Genesis 6:5).

The godly people have all disappeared; not one honest person is left on the earth. They are all murderers, setting traps even for their own brothers. Both their hands are equally skilled at doing evil! Officials and judges alike demand bribes. The people with influence get what they want, and together they scheme to twist justice (Micah 7:2-3).

Doesn’t this sound exactly like Panem? But God is describing OUR world. True, we don’t have Hunger Games where children kill other children, but we do sell our young ones for the slave trade, and they are kidnapped and forced to become child soldiers, so I’m kinda wondering—which is worse?

And lest we become quick to judge, remember that “fallen humanity” includes both you and me as participants!

If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth…If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts (1 John 1:8,10).

Bottom line is that both Panem and Planet Earth are depraved, deceitful and death-dealing on a regular basis. But remember, there is a second principle!

Principle #2: We all have a risen Savior.

In Panem, Katniss is a “savior” of sorts, but even if she completely succeeds in her mission to overthrow the Capital and assassinate President Snow, I suspect that the victory will inevitably be corrupted by another power seeker. Another dictator will arise who will again enslave, and there will need to be another rebellion with another Mockingjay, and that cycle will never end.

But in our world, we have a Savior who conquered all sin and death on the cross, then came back from the dead to prove that this victory will last for eternity!  Here is the amazing news from the Bible:

You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross (Colossians 2:13-15).

It is no small thing that even though our world is fallen and evil routinely rears its ugly head, we have a Redeemer who sacrificed His own life to bring an end to the tyranny of Satan and his demonic forces. Jesus shed His blood so we can be empowered to make a difference against injustice not only now, but for eternity! The evil kingdoms of this world which produce tyrants and slavery, and wars will come and go like the passing of seasons. But all that we do for the Kingdom of Christ spills over into a new heaven and a new earth that will never pass away.

So while we walk this dark world, the odds may not be in our favor from a human standpoint. But when we rise to our calling and stand against evil—like Katniss has done in Panem—our efforts will make a difference now and forever!

And the odds of that happening are definitely in our favor!

Some of you may realize that I am talking about Supergirl, a new CBS series starring Melissa Benoist, that has received critical acclaim and high viewership. It’s an intriguing story about Kara Zor-El, who was Fed-Exed off Krypton to earth much like Superman.

Except in her case, she had to hide her powers until she reached her 20’s, and now she is gainfully employed by a super cool, super secret agency and she is saving National City (like Metropolis—only with Palm trees) from terrible disasters.

At this point, you might expect me to make some Bible parallel between Superman and Supergirl with us as Christians—right? And to be sure, we are indwelled by the Holy Spirit of God, so we do possess unfathomable spiritual power to be used in reaching people for Christ.

But I would like to consider a different take on Supergirl…

Why? Because when I watch movies about the Man of Steel, or shows about the Girl of Steel, I actually don’t feel super empowered. 

To be honest, I feel super tired!

I see them performing heroic acts with undaunted courage and seemingly endless energy, and it reminds me of how cowardly I handle situations and how exhausted I feel so much of the time.

I guess you could say that tiredness is my Kryptonite—right?

But one day, while wallowing in a semi-state of self-pity, I came across this fantastic passage:

To keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud.

Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:7b-10

These inspired verses were written by the Apostle Paul, who started churches all over Asia and wrote over 75% of the New Testament! Some might have called him the “super Apostle,” but in this surprisingly candid passage, we see that he too struggled with his own version of Kryptonite that kept him from becoming proud.

Isn’t it interesting that he asked Jesus three times to take his weakness away—yet our Lord refused his request? That must mean something very important, because most of us would be pretty frustrated with unanswered prayers.

But Jesus gave Paul the answer: “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.”

In other words, when we are foolish enough to think that we can handle and control our lives, we walk away from the most powerful force in the universe. And that is why we falter and fail and end up exhausted.

But when we embrace our Kryptonite and our weakness, it changes our perspective back onto Jesus Christ. At that moment, He grants us unsurpassed power from the Throne of Heaven, and we can be renewed.

The word for “best” in this verse literally means that the power of Christ grows as our weaknesses are increased. So in reality—the weaker we are—the stronger He is!

So if you are feeling more like the man or woman of cardboard, instead of steel this week, and your personal Kryptonite is debilitating to the point of near exhaustion, remember that it might be a message from God to rest in His presence and power. Take some time to relax, renew, and refresh in the charisma of His company, and you will personally experience the incredible promise given to us through the prophet Isaiah:

Have you never heard?

Have you never understood?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of all the earth.
He never grows weak or weary.
No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
He gives power to the weak
and strength to the powerless.
Even youths will become weak and tired,
and young men will fall in exhaustion.
But those who trust in the will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:28-31).

Super tired? Plug into the Super Strength!
