Why I Chose A Tree for Our Family’s Logo

FamilyLogo

A few nights ago, Emily and I were designing business cards together when we ran into a problem. See, she and I have had a goal for a little while now to design some business cards for our little family that we can give away to everyone we meet. The idea is to have one card for both of us that will have our names, our websites, and a verse on one side, and East Hill’s information on the other side (so we can invite people to worship with us). The problem arose when we started designing the card. We wanted more than just words on a white background, but what could we use to represent us (besides a picture of us)?

Long story short, I chose a tree. The more I thought about it, the more I liked the imagery. I like it because it represents (at least, in some small way) what Emily and I are right now and, even more, it represents several of our goals for our future.

1. The tree is a fitting reminder of our physical family: past, present, and future. We’re thankful for our family. Our parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and so on have helped us to be where we are now. They have fashioned, formed, and prepared us for now and for the future – professionally, domestically, and spiritually. Each branch on the tree represents previous generations in our family. But those branches also indicate the future generations that the two of us hope to bring into the world, if the Lord wills.

2. The tree is a fitting reminder of our spiritual family in Christ. We couldn’t begin to find a tree with enough branches to represent everyone in God’s family. Jesus spoke of a vine with branches rather than a tree, but the imagery is similar (John 15:1-8). As members of the church, the disciples of Christ represent the branches that are connected to the life-giving vine. The Father in Heaven is the Divine Husbandman, who purges the unprofitable from the vine. To be adopted into God’s family is an indescribable blessing (Eph. 1:5; 1 John 3:1-3).

3. The tree is a fitting reminder of who God wants us to be. Psalm 1 describes the righteous man, whose delight in is the law of the LORD (1:2). The psalmist says that “he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper” (Psa. 1:3). He’s saying that Christians are like trees. How so?

  1. Christians are like trees in their deep, downward roots. Colossians 2:6-7 says that Christians are to walk in Jesus, “rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.”
  2. Christians are like trees in their growing, fruit-bearing branches. Tree branches sometimes bear fruit. Jesus says, “By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit” (John 15:8). However Christians excel, God is the One Who has furnished the increase (1 Cor. 3:6). It seems that, the higher trees grow, the closer they get to heaven itself. As Christians grow, they’re growing closer and closer to God (James 4:8).

There are undoubtedly more parallels that could be made. We’ll leave it here for now, but I love all of these comparisons and considerations.

I want my family to be like a tree: grounded (in the faith), growing (in number and in spirit), and, most of all, God-pleasing.

Question: What are some other ways in which Christians are like trees? Please support your answer with Scripture.

World Wide Weekend: August 10, 2013

Looking for something good to read or to watch online this weekend? Here’s a fresh batch of links that I think you’ll enjoy.

  • POEM: “My Eyes” – My wife is an all-around great writer. She posted this incredible poem this past Thursday.
  • VIDEO: “The Truth About … Dressing to Worship” – Great thoughts about what we should wear to worship services. Definitely some challenging content as we prepare for the Lord’s Day tomorrow.
  • BLOG: “Small Churches are Good for Your Kids!” – Daniel Howell posted this blog this past Wednesday on his site, and it has been widely circulated since then. If you haven’t read it yet, go check it out! It was the “small” congregations (that is, small in size) that gave me many preaching opportunities and encouraged me to continue preaching. These churches are small in number, but their impact on our lives is enormous.
  • BLOG: “Three Reasons You Need to Stop Complaining” – This one is a few weeks old, but it’s a great post. Do you believe that complaining is a sin? If it isn’t, then please explain Philippians 2:14-15. Many of us have a lot of work to do on ourselves to overcome this sin. Wes McAdams helps us to see why it’s so evil.
  • TECH BLOG: “Is Your Password Really Protecting Your Information?” – If you use the same password on multiple websites, then this blog post is a MUST READ. Right now.

[highlight]Tomorrow is the Lord’s day.[/highlight] If you’re looking for something that will help you be prepared for it, then I think you’ll like The Light Network’s podcast, Ready to Worship.

This Sunday also happens to be Friends and Family Day at East Hill! If you’re in our area, we’d love for you to come study and worship with us. Bible study begins at 9:30am and worship is at 10:30am and 6:00pm.

7 Reasons You Should Attend PTP

Have you ever been to Polishing the Pulpit? Don’t let the name mislead you, it isn’t just for preachers.

Polishing the Pulpit (PTP) is an annual workshop designed to refresh, renew, and recharge Christians. Each year, thousands (literally!) of Christians gather at the Sevier Events Center in Sevierville, TN for a week of Christian growth like no other. This year’s attendance goal of 3,000 people is expected to be met by Christians who will travel hundreds – or even thousands – of miles. Are you coming? Here are just seven reasons why you don’t want to miss PTP.

1. The teaching and preaching. PTP consistently delivers the best lessons I have ever heard. There are at least ten concurrent sessions every hour, and each one has a compelling, contemporary, practical topic. Do you want to be better equipped to face the challenges facing our world? Then you need to come to PTP. Where else are you going to get this kind of teaching in this much quantity at one place?

2. The teachers and preachers. You won’t find better speakers anywhere. Do you want to sit at the feet of some of the greatest Christian men and women of our time? Then PTP is for you. Do you want some time to interact with these men and women, asking questions and seeking their counsel? Then PTP is for you. To make it even better, you’ll get to hear many of your favorites multiple times throughout the week. What’s not to love?!

3. The fellowship. You’ll catch up with old friends and make new friends when you go to PTP. You’ll be encouraged by the realization that you’re not alone in your Christian journey. You will be reminded that the struggles you face at home are common to all Christians (1 Cor. 10:13; 2 Tim. 3:12). Your faith will be challenged as you hear about all of the great things that your brethren are doing for Christ’s kingdom.

4. The singing. Picture it (if you can): three thousand people who love God more than anything worshipping Him with the fruit of their lips (Heb.13:15). Need I say more? The sound is heavenly.

5. Sunday morning worship. Take the previous point and apply it to an entire period of worship to God on the Lord’s Day. If you can’t be there for the entire week, then be sure you are there for Sunday morning worship.

6. The fire. After your first day at PTP, you’ll begin to feel a fire within you. That’s your heart being convicted of all the great things you’re learning and observing from this incredible experience. You’ll begin to think of things that you can do at home to help keep this fire going, and you’ll begin to think of someone that you want to bring with you next year, Lord willing.

7. The difference. People who go to PTP don’t return home the same. They’re changed for the better – to God’s glory. They’re leaving PTP more aware of their purpose on earth as Christians. They’re leaving with a renewed zeal for Christ and His cause. They’re leaving with tons of ideas that they can’t wait to implement in their lives, their families, their neighborhoods, and in their congregations. They’re leaving with friendships that will last a lifetime and beyond.

That’s what is awaiting you this year at Polishing the Pulpit. Are you going?! You still have two weeks until it begins! PTP is August 23-29, 2013. For more information and to register online, check out the following links:

Question: For those who have been before, what’s your favorite part of PTP?

Living Godly in a Godless Society, Part 2

Yesterday, we identified the problem of godlessness in our society and we introduced the solution to the problem. What about those of us who are trying to live the Christian life? What should we do? Here are four imperatives to remember as you and I seek to live godly in a godless society:

First, the Word is forever (Psa. 119:89). Cultures will shift as imperfect people continue to be carried away by sin (James 1:13-16), but God’s Word will never change. Read it (Eph. 3:4), study it (2 Tim. 2:15), soak it in (Psa. 119:11), and live it (Psa. 119:17).

Second, the world won’t understand (1 John 3:13). John reminds us that we shouldn’t find it strange if the world hates us. In fact, the world hated Jesus (John 15:18; 17:14). “All who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution” (2 Tim. 3:12). We are strangers and pilgrims here (Heb. 11:13; 1 Pet. 2:11; 4:4), because our home is in heaven. Today, we work and we suffer for the cause of Christ, but in the bright tomorrow, we will rest (Rev. 14:13), reap (Gal. 6:9), and realize that it was worth it all (Rom. 8:18; cf. 2 Pet. 2:9).

Third, we exist to share the message (Mat. 5:16; 28:19-20). Paul reminds us that “we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works” (Eph. 2:10). If the message will be spread, we – and only we – will be the ones to spread it. If we decide to hide that message, then we are veiling it “to those who are perishing” (2 Cor. 4:3-7). This is serious business.

Fourth, love is imperative (Eph. 4:15). It doesn’t matter how well we speak, what talents we have, or how seemingly selfless we may be; if we lack love, our work is pointless (1 Cor. 13:1-3). Love neither excuses sin nor compromises God’s truth. Instead, love introduces the sinner to God’s only way of salvation (John 14:6; Acts 2:38; Rom. 6:1-4, etc.).

Of this I am sure: Jesus is the only hope for our godless society. In what ways are you reflecting His light today (1 Pet. 2:21-24)?

Living Godly in a Godless Society, Part 1

We live in a godless society. That is not to say that God is not present with His people or that God is not aware of what is happening in our culture; we know that He is (1 Pet. 3:12; Heb. 4:13). Instead, we call our society “godless” because of the moral decisions it makes. Let’s briefly illustrate.

On June 26, 2013, the United States Supreme Court found the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) to be unconstitutional. In the majority opinion, written by Justice Anthony Kennedy, the Court found that it is unconstitutional for the federal government to refuse to recognize a “same-sex marriage” that is legal on the state level. The majority argued that DOMA was passed in 1996 (unanimously by the House and by President Clinton, by the way) out of hatred and hostility toward the homosexual community in an effort to ostracize them from society. DOMA defined marriage as between one man and one woman. With DOMA’s demise, the cultural acceptance of the sin of homosexuality (Rom. 1:26-27; 1 Cor. 6:9-11) gains further support in America, while the Christian’s worldview becomes less and less popular. So, what do you think? Is it fair to describe our society as “godless?” I think the answer is an unavoidable and emphatic “YES!”

Ours is not the first “godless” society. Think of the many pharaohs, kings, and other rulers who failed to bow before the Great I AM in the Old Testament. Coming into the New Testament, we realize that, even when Immanuel (God with us) ministered on earth, the majority response to His teachings was nothing more than godlessness. Was it not that godlessness that put Jesus on the cross? And what about when the elders bribed the guards of Jesus’ tomb to cover up the truth, that the Lord had risen from death (Mat. 28:11-15)? Think about the Roman Empire, and the godless society that permeated early Christianity as a result of its wicked rule. Don’t feel hopeless or helpless as you consider the godlessness that permeates our culture. Instead, understand that Christians are, by design, counter-cultural. We are called to shine as lights in our dark world (Phil. 2:15; cf. John 3:19-21).

What is godly living? Those two words – godly living – sum up all of the New Testament’s instructions for the Christian’s life. Clearly, it’s much easier to sum it up in words than to practice in life. I think Paul offers some insight into what it means to live in a godly way. He writes,

[box type=”shadow” align=”aligncenter” ]For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age (Titus 2:11-12).[/box]

So, godly living has to do with adding some things (sobriety, righteousness, godliness) and removing other things (ungodliness and worldly lusts). Godly living is not a once a week notion, but a lifestyle that God expects of His people (Rom. 12:1-2). Note two important points about the godly way of life.

First, this is a lifestyle that will determine your destiny. The heavenly reward is promised to those who give their entire lives to Jesus (Luke 9:23; cf. Gal. 2:20). These are people who do not “love their lives to the death” (Rev. 12:11; 2:10; cf. Mat. 16:25). They fight the good fight, remain steady on the course, and finish the Christian race (2 Tim. 4:6-8). Do you want to go to heaven? Then that godly lifestyle is a must.

Second, this is a lifestyle that will make a difference. Some people wonder whether our society is too far gone. Would it do any good to try to counter our culture with Christianity? Absolutely! That is our culture’s only hope! This was the answer even in Isaiah’s day.

[box type=”shadow” align=”aligncenter” ]Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, rebuke the oppressor; defend the fatherless, plead for the widow (Isa. 1:16-17).[/box]

Being made clean from our sin-stained souls, ceasing to do evil, and learning to do good weren’t just the answers for Isaiah’s hearers, they are the key ingredients to turn our society around, too!

NOTE: In a special post coming tomorrow (Lord willing), I have four imperatives that we must remember as we seek to live godly lives.

“Why Are You Involved in So Many Things?”

I am blessed to be involved in several good works. Aside from my personal responsibilities (to my wife and to my own personal growth as a Christian), my primary focus is preaching for the East Hill congregation. Sharing pulpit responsibilities with my co-laborer, Paul Sain, leaves me with at least one sermon and one Bible class to prepare each Lord’s day and usually two Bible classes to prepare each Wednesday. My studies in preparation for these presentations are always my top priority. Additionally, I’m blessed to be involved in working with the Gospel Broadcasting Network and, of course, The Light Network.

Sometimes I’m asked how I can be involved in so many things. I can assure you that I am not an expert in that field. I’m constantly learning and reevaluating myself to be sure that I use my blessings of time and talent (what little I’ve been given) to God’s glory. However, a question I CAN answer is this one: “WHY are you involved in so much?” It isn’t necessarily because I have trouble saying that two letter word that begins with “N” and ends with “O” (though I don’t use it very often if I can help it). Here’s why I do it.

1. I want to completely immerse myself in the Lord’s work. From the time my feet hit the floor until I pillow my head at night, every moment of my day is spent in the work of the church. This is a tremendous blessing! I get to serve God with the greatest people on the planet while studying and spreading the greatest story ever told!

2. I want to spend and be spent in God’s service. I learned this from the apostle Paul (2 Cor. 12:15; cf. 1 Cor. 11:1). Here was a man whose convictions led him to bear his cross all through his life as a faithful Christian, ultimately laying it down in exchange for a crown (2 Tim. 4:6-8). I want that, and Paul says that I can have it. He said that the crown is “not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing” (2 Tim. 4:8). Paul was grateful for the salvation that His Savior had made possible for him, and he showed his gratitude and indebtedness through his service to Jesus (Rom. 1:15; Eph. 2:11). That’s what I must do (Gal. 2:20).

3. I want to use technology to spread the gospel. I am passionate about communication and media. I studied mass media at FHU, and have always had an interest in it. Radio, television, podcasting, and the internet at large are just a few ways by which we can reach the masses with the gospel of Christ. I know that one person cannot do everything. To me, it isn’t about doing everything. Instead, it’s about doing as much as I can to propagate the message (Mat. 28:19-20). Opportunity + ability = responsibility (at least, to some degree).

4. I want to improve. Selfishly speaking, my involvements compliment one another to (hopefully) produce a better me. I desperately want to be a better Bible student and to have greater Bible knowledge. I want to improve as a speaker and a teacher. I want to become more comfortable in front of people, cameras, and microphones so that I can get out of the way and I can focus on spreading the message to the best of my ability. My preaching and media involvements help me to do that. They constantly keep me humble by reminding me how much I need to improve, while giving me opportunities to be better.

I struggled with whether to post this here. I hope it doesn’t sound prideful. This is nowhere near my intent. Today’s post has been a personally therapeutic exercise to remind me of God’s goodness in allowing me to do what I do to His glory. If this post has helped to remind you about why you give your life to Jesus, then my mission has been accomplished. To God be the glory for anything that we can do!

Question: How is your life blessed through your service to God?

Welcome to RobertHatfield.net!

Hello and welcome to my brand new website and blog, RobertHatfield.net! This is what I’m trying to accomplish here in my little corner of the internet:

 

[highlight]This website exists to teach and to defend the truth.[/highlight] Let’s study the Bible together right here. Sometimes we’ll talk about securing salvation, while other times we’ll talk about maintaining it. We’ll also discuss the ongoing battle between our culture and New Testament Christianity. No matter what, you can be sure that when we’re talking about God, we’ll always use His Word. Nothing else.

[highlight]This website exists to promote Christian unity.[/highlight] Fellowship is vital to the cause of Christ. Let’s interact here through comments or email exchanges. I’ll also promote great works, seminars, etc. right here. These events will strengthen your faith and help all of us grow closer to God, to each other, and to our heavenly goal.

[highlight]This website exists to encourage the use of technology in the Lord’s church.[/highlight] I’m no expert, but I do confess to be rather geeky. I love to find ways in which technology can make a job easier, more effective, or farther reaching. I’ll be posting about that kind of thing regularly.

[highlight]I confess, this website has a few personal perks.[/highlight] I’m hoping that regular blogging will improve my writing, creativity and brevity. Additionally, I think regular writing about God’s Word will help me focus in my personal Bible study.

[highlight]Most importantly, this website exists to glorify God.[/highlight] This is my attempt – as feeble as it may be – to point you to my heavenly Father. If something that you find here helps you to focus more upon God and His Will for your life, then my mission has been accomplished. May He receive all the glory which He is due.

Preaching the Tough Stuff

We’ve all heard them – the toe-stepping, “hell fire and brimstone” sermons that render uncomfortable those who, just moments before, sat comfortably in the pew. They’re the sermons that cause everyone to think, “was the preacher talking specifically to me today?” In many ways, these tough kind of sermons separate the spiritually weak from the spiritually strong because the weak go away blaming the preacher, while the strong leave challenged to live a better life. The hard sermons bring us face to face with who we really are and what we’re really like, and sometimes that is not a pleasant sight to behold.


What motivates preachers to preach the tough sermons? Why would he choose to use his Sunday sermon time to discuss negative or hard to hear concepts? I don’t think any of us enjoy to hear about hell, the eternal punishment of sinners. I think Peter would say that the tough sermons must be preached so that we do not forget Jesus’ great sacrifice for us (2 Pet. 1:9, 12-13, 15; cf. Luke 22:34, 60-62). Paul would tell us that he preached the “electric” sermons because “the love of Christ compels us” (2 Cor. 5:14). He would admit that many of his sermons were delivered with tear-filled eyes (Phil. 3:18), but preaching the truth is necessary, “in season and out of season” (2 Tim. 4:2; cf. 1 Cor. 9:16). Stephen would remind us that God blesses those who preach the necessary, hard sermons (Acts 7:54-60).

Jeremiah definitely felt the weight of preaching the tough stuff. It weighed so heavily upon him that he contemplated giving up.

For when I spoke, I cried out;
I shouted, “Violence and plunder!”
Because the word of the LORD was made to me
A reproach and a derision daily.
Then I said, “I will not make mention of Him,
Nor speak anymore in His name.”
But His word was in my heart like a burning fire
Shut up in my bones;
I was weary of holding it back,
And I could not (Jeremiah 20:8-9, NKJV).

It seems like Jeremiah thought his preaching did more harm than good. It was as if his preaching only amplified the sin that existed among his people. He decided it would be best for him to simply be silent than to continue down this path. But God’s Word is too powerful to be hidden. Notice that this hard sermon was even hard for Jeremiah to preach. This is often (if not always) the case when preachers must preach the tough stuff. It wasn’t that Jeremiah enjoyed bursting bubbles or tearing people down. It was the fact that he had the light to show the way of righteousness (Psa. 119:105). He had the life preserver that would save his fellowman, who was drowning in iniquity.

Today, preachers have the powerful, profitable Word of God that shows us the way toward heaven (2 Tim. 3:16-17; Heb. 4:12). To withhold any part of the message – a part that could be the very part that motivates someone to obedience – is to withhold true love for God and true love for others (John 14:15; 1 John 3:18).

Love is the motivator for the hard sermons – love for God, for Christ, for the Truth as revealed by the Holy Spirit, and love for others.

——————–
This week on Preachers in Training, Ben Giselbach joins me to discuss “Preaching the Electric-Topic Sermons.” Join us live in the chat room this afternoon at 3:45 PM (CST) or watch it Thursday (when it’s released) over at The Light Network.

Blog Hop: Podcasts We Like

There are over 250,000 podcasts in iTunes. They’re from 155 countries and are in over 40 different languages! Clearly, there’s no shortage of material out there for you to tap into. How do you choose which podcast(s) are right for you? That’s where today’s post comes in.


Today is an especially exciting day here on the blog! I’m happy to be participating in a “blog hop.” Five bloggers have gotten together and decided to write on the same topic: podcasts.

We’re going to list the podcasts that we listen to by categories and point you to the places where you can go and listen (or even subscribe) for yourself. At the bottom, you’ll find the links to the other blogs. Hope this is helpful!

My Podcast List

I mainly listen to three categories of podcasts: brotherhood podcasts, tech podcasts (I’m kind of a geek), and leadership / self-help podcasts. While I have listed several podcasts under each category, I do not necessarily listen to every episode. Also, I cannot endorse everything that comes from the podcasters that I have listed below. However, all of the podcasts that I have listed keep a “family friendly” environment (which, to many, is relatively defined). Please use your discretion.

#1: Brotherhood Podcasts (produced by members of Churches of Christ)

I love it when lectureships have podcasts of their lectures. Here are a few lectureships that I subscribe to each year:

A growing amount of content is being produced for youth groups. I’m excited to see Horizons in iTunes!

Podcast networks by our brethren:

  • The Equip Network – The Equip Network has, in many respects, lead the way for podcasting in the Lord’s church. I love iPreach, MinistryGeek, and Equipped Today.
  • The Light Network – I’m privileged to be one of the directors and founders of TLN. We offer eight podcasts that I believe are worth your time. Check them out on the website and let us know what you think (including what we can do better).

#2: Tech News and Information

I listen each week to several tech shows from the  TWiT (This Week in Tech) Netcast Network. Here are some of my favorites (they have around 25 podcasts total).

Another techy network, the 5by5 network, offers some great content

  • Old Tech News with Andy Ihnatko (I love anything Andy Ihnatko produces. He’s been writing tech columns for years for the Chicago Sun-Times. On this show, he discusses some of the tech headlines that he has written about.)
  • The Ihnatko Almanac with Andy Ihnatko and Dan Benjamin
  • The Mixdown with Anthony Stauffer and Dan Benjamin (This is a show about how to podcast, hosted by the founder of 5by5. They have discontinued the podcast, but it is still available in archived form.)

Are you interested in starting a podcast of your own? Then you simply MUST listen to the Podcast Answer Man, Cliff Ravenscraft. Cliff has been podcasting since the early days. He loves it so much that it ultimately became his full-time job! He offers tons of free tips that are worth your while if you’re interested in the medium of podcasting.

#3: Leadership & Personal Development

  • This is Your Life: A Podcast by Michael Hyatt (Michael Hyatt is so practical and helpful. If you love his podcast as much as I do, then you’ll jump head over heels when you discover his website!)
  • The Accidental Creative (I’m relatively new to this show, but am enjoying what I’ve heard and the premise behind the show. Worth a glance.)
  • Smart Passive Income with Pat Flynn (Pat Flynn’s name has become synonymous with how to make money online. He comes highly recommended by leadership experts like Michael Hyatt.)

Now that you have seen the podcasts that I like, take a few minutes to “hop” over to the other writers who are doing the same thing today:

Adam Faughn lists his favorite podcasts here.

Daniel Howell shows you his must-hear podcasts here.

Dale Jenkins joins in here.

Chad Landman shares his list here.

QUESTION: Do you like the “blog hop” idea? What other podcasts do you recommend? Share your thoughts in the comments section.
