Devotion to the Least
P
erhaps the
biggest difference between
those experiencing
Christianity as we
read in the New
Testament and
what we often experience today is the level of devotion to Jesus and his plan for
the local church. Acts 2:42 states
it very simply, “They devoted
themselves…”
God stands as ready to work in
our lives today as He did in their
lives in Bible days. Jesus promised us abundant life in John
10:10. Are you experiencing the
abundant life that he promised?
If not, what is missing? How are
we different than they were in
New Testament days? They had
marriage problems… money
problems… health problems…
family problems… political problems… categorically they had all
the same problems we have. We
have the same Jesus… the same
Gospel… the same Holy Spirit –
so what is the difference? “Could
it be our level of devotion?”
I could give you a bunch of synonyms for devotion, but you know
what true devotion is. We see it

in actions. 1st century
Christians believed
the church of Jesus
Christ was God’s plan
and they were devoted to it as described
in Acts 2:42:
by Pastor Ron Lawler
Because they were devoted to the
church of Jesus Christ, participation in
it held a priority in their lives.
Because they were devoted to the
church of Jesus, they were devoted to
one another.
Because they were devoted to the
church of Jesus Christ, they were devoted to prayer.
It can be surprisingly difficult to come
to grips with our true level of devotion.
Are we even aware of our true level of
devotion? We like to think of ourselves
as devoted to Jesus and his plan, but
how devoted are we? How does one
recognize true devotion?

she could no longer even do that. Her
husband fed, washed, clothed, and
cared for her every need. When he
was at work, he hired a nurse to take
care of her during the day. His devotion to Jesus was expressed in his devotion to his wife.
Her mobility left her so that she could
not even roll over in bed. They ended
up buying a special bed so she would
not get sores. When she wanted to
turn during the night, she would wake
up her husband and he would turn
her. He grew to so accustomed to
turning her during the night that
sometimes he would not even wake up
when she prompted him. He would
simply turn her in his sleep.

more easily see true devotion. Devotion is not so easily seen in my responses in easy settings. I may indeed
be truly devoted, but I may also simply be doing what gets a good return for
me. There is nothing wrong with being blessed as a result of our devotion.
That is a gift from God. The simple
difference is that what I do when
things go well does not so clearly reveal true devotion.
What we do under negative circumstances reveals true devotion! How we
respond when we get nothing in return, reveals the level of our devotion.
Just as in our homes and with our
families, sometimes it is in God’s plan
in the church that we minister in settings and with people from whom and
in settings from which we get little
sense of accomplishment. Sometimes
we are simply filling a spot until God
brings a person better equipped to
address a particular need. It is in
those days and weeks of faithful and
perhaps dry service that devotion to
Jesus shines brightly.
Some reading this article express devotion under remarkably difficult circumstances in life. Whether your circumstances are negative or positive,
devotion to Christ unleashes abundant life – more importantly it honors
our Lord Jesus! According to Matthew
25:40, we express devotion to Jesus
when we express it to even “the least
of his brethren.”
Has God given you an opportunity to
express devotion to Him through devotion to one of the least? Certainly
our first level or devotion to Jesus is
expressed at home, but it is very rare
that it is expressed solely at home.
Where in God’s plan for the local
church have you found an expression
of devotion to Jesus? Look for those
opportunities and be willing to minister to “the least of these” knowing that
you are in fact ministering to Jesus! 

Why Are Christians Such
Recently a friend of mine started living for the Lord.
After a year of sharing his faith vocally, we had coffee and he told me
something he found surprising.
He said that in chess, the pawn pieces are used to advance the
more important pieces. They
go forward and sacrifice themselves to create opportunities
for the Queen, King and Bishop. He thought of himself as a
pawn, trying to actively serve
the needs of others and serve
the kingdom, clear that life isn’t about
him.
He said the biggest surprise though
was that the more he served and
lived a life for Christ, the more he felt
attacked. But not by other people, by
other Christians. He was confused
because he’s never seen a King attack its own pawn in a game of
chess. He’d never seen a Bishop take
out its own pawn, but the more time
he spent in church, the more he got
attacked by the people who were
supposed to be his fellow brothers
and sisters in Christ.
I started to think about that because
it’s an issue I keep seeing come up.
A pastor once said, “Nobody is as
mean as Christians who are being
mean for Jesus.”
I also realized that in my own life I
fear sharing difficult ideas less with
non-Christians than I do with Christians. Of the two crowds, in the last
four years, I’ve experienced much
harsher hate from Christians than I
have non-Christians.
Why is that?
Why does that happen?
Why are we Christians the worst?
Because we’re new.
God is not done with us yet.
Salvation is not the same thing as
sanctification.
We’re all just getting started.
But when someone says they are a

all new. We all have so much to
By Jon learn. There is so much shaping
that way. You tend to assume they
will be grace-filled, love-driven, servant-minded beacons of awesomeness. That would be like asking
someone who had taken karate for a
year if they were a black belt. Or asking a first-year medical student if they
were ready to do a heart
transplant.
And those are clear, tangible
things that can be learned.
Those aren’t matters of the
soul. Those aren’t deep, dark
mysterious matters of the
heart.
How long does soul transformation
take? How long do you give that process?
ahead.
And when we step into culture and
proclaim ourselves as Christians, we
create the impression that we are
finished. That we are no longer petty
or spiteful or angry or jealous or gossipy.
We are.
We are jerks.
But we are new. And we will ask forgiveness for the times when our hateful actions paint a false picture of a
loving God. We don’t mean to, but
people make so many mistakes when
they are new.
And we are still new.
Most of us assume it happens the
moment you become a Christian, but
it doesn’t. We’ve got a long way to
go.
I’m sorry if you’ve had a horrible experience with a Christian. We don’t
have a horrible God, but sometimes
how I act would lead you to believe
so.
Why are Christians such jerks?
He’s actually really loving.
Because people are jerks.
He’s crazy about you.
And then they become Christians and
become less of a jerk. And hopefully
less of a jerk next year and the year
after that and the year after that, as
their minds are renewed.
He’s got a wild, passionate heart.
They aren’t perfect. Not even close.
Despite a loud, clear call to love others, we mess that up. And then we
ask for forgiveness and cling to the
need we have for the Savior of a
thousand second chances.
And then we try again.
Even for jerks like me.

a great year
with Sunday
school taking our time studying
through Romans, and are now taking
on the book of Acts. Youth group has
seen some significant growth in numbers, some nights up to 36 youth, as
well as spiritual growth. Students are
taking on some worship planning and
youth night organization as well as
leading various aspects of youth
group.
This summer the Jr. High students will
be looking deeply into James and
the High school group will be going
through the entire Bible by general
sections: Pentateuch, History, poetry, prophets, gospels, epistles, and
Revelation.
We have two Bible studies going on
during the week: Marcia Kallander
and Carrie Potter meet a group of
girls at Whidbey coffee on Friday’s
and I meet with a group on Thursday nights. We have tackled many
topics that impact the thinking and
lives of our youth. For each topic
ranging from social media and video games to pornography and sexuality issues we have looked at
what the Bible says and how we
should apply God’s word to them.

High students. This summer’s mission
trip will be to Minneapolis, Minnesota
with Youth works where we will tackle
some urban mission and community
services from youth camps, working
with soup kitchens, to serving in retirement homes.
We thank you for your continued support and prayers for the youth ministry. It is truly appreciated and needed.

WEDNESDAY MORNINGS:
Totally Desperate Mom
by Wendy Hagen
This fun and encouraging look at the
life of a young mom starts at the initially delusion-filled journey into
motherhood and progresses through
the stark reality of parenting
infants, toddlers and preschoolers. Totally Desperate Mom is a noholds- barred, comical
look at motherhood from
a mom in the trenches. All
the while you are offered biblical encouragement and practical tips
for taking care of yourself emotionally, physically, and spiritually, as well
as how to keep your marriage on
track. It’s time to laugh, feel refreshed, draw inspiration, and reflect
on the gift of children.
This Book Club will meet at Family
Bible Church in room B3, Wednesday
mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 (June 10
-August 12).
The book is $10;
Childcare is available for $5 for one
child or $8 per family (paid weekly).

If you are a mom of a child of any
age, and you know you don’t have
time to read a book this summer, but
you’d love two hours a week of grown
-up conversation and no kids, this is
the summer group for you. Are there
ways to save time so you can put
more of your focus on being the
woman you were created to be? Are
you pushing the “struggle bus” every
day just to feel exhausted every evening? This class can help make your
life a little easier and you can push
that “struggle bus” off a cliff. We will
be sharing tips and learning useful
things to help us be the wives and
moms God created us to be while
making time to build our spiritual
life. Come and learn what you
were created to be while
wearing all your different
hats: mom, wife, daughter, sister, and friend.
This Class will meet at Family Bible Church, Wednesday
mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 (June 10
-August 12). There is no book to purchase for this class. Bring an empty
journal or notebook, a pen or pencil,
and a Bible (we can lend you one).
Childcare is available for $5 for or $8
per family (paid weekly).
Nancy Miles (360.675.4251) will lead
this group.
WEDNESDAY or
THURSDAY EVENING:
What’s So Amazing About
Grace? by Philip Yancey
As Christians we speak often of God’s
grace. We know we are saved by His
grace. But do we really understand
it? Do we truly believe in it? Do we
practice it? Most importantly do our
lives proclaim it as powerfully as our
words? True grace is shocking, at
times even scandalous! It shakes our
conventions with its insistence on
getting close to sinners and touching
them with mercy and hope. Grace
does not excuse sin, but it treasures
the sinner. In this book Yancey takes
a probing look at grace: what it
looks like…what it doesn’t look like…
and why only Christians can, and
must reveal the grace the world is
searching for.
There are two opportunities to be
part of the this book club:
Wednesday nights, 6:30-8:30
(June 10-August 12) at the home of
Nancy Condliff (360.679.0710), lead
by Lisa Stapert (360.675.4312), and

Kott (360.675.3146), lead by Cheryl
Lawler (360.675.3653).
This book is $10.
Sorry no childcare is available for the
