Have the Courage to Continue

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston Churchill

Success is a good. We dream of it. We plan for it. We work for it. We celebrate it when we reach. Hopefully we share it with others when we reach it.

But success is never permanent. It has to be earned again and again. We have to keep learning, growing and striving. Success will leave the same way it came.

Similarity, there are few great achievements that weren’t preceded by obstacles setbacks and failures. But failure isn’t final if we have the courage to continue.

We have to keep learning, growing and striving. We have to have the courage to continue.

“What I love about the ministry of Jesus is that he identified the poor as blessed and the rich as needy...and then he went and ministered to them both.” - Rachel Held Evans

In most societies, in most of the world, over most of human history the poor have been dismissed, diminished, demonized, and marginalized. At same time the rich have been celebrated, glorified and often even deified.

Jesus taught us to see the humanity of the poor. He encouraged us to look for the image of God reflected in their lives. He taught us to acknowledge and celebrate their blessings and gifts.

At the same time, Jesus often criticized the way the rich and powerful often treated the poor. He occasionally flipped the literal tables of injustice. He pointed out the ways the rich and powerful were still lacking.

Nevertheless, Jesus ministered to the humanity of all, the rich, the poor, and those in between. He recognized that everyone has gift and everyone has a need. Our calling is to recognize and honor both in everyone we meet.

How to Follow Jesus

Jesus never once talked about attending church services, but he talked constantly about healing the sick and feeding the hungry. That is what it seems to mean to be a follower of Jesus. —Richard Rohr

I was first licensed into ministry 30 years ago this year. I’ve since been ordained in two traditions. I had the privilege of serving 22 of those 30 years in pastoral ministry… I minister now virtually.

There’s a place for organized religion, for tradition, for ritual, for ceremonies, for church, but without love, all of this is meaningless.

Our job is to be students who learn to love and then carry that love into the world showing others how. We especially are called to carry love to the poor, the sick, the immigrant stranger, the imprisoned, to anyone marginalized by the larger world.

This is what it means to follow Jesus.

How We Put It Behind Us…

“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead…” -Philippians 3:13-14

We have all made mistakes. Nearly all of us have said things we wish we hadn’t. We have done things we’d do differently or not at all. Some of us are burdened with guilt and shame. Paul himself was complicit in the death of Stephen.

It’s important for us to learn from the past, but we never want to be prisoner to it. Go ahead and forgive yourself. God already has. Forgive the person who wronged you. They were toxic and broken themselves. Leave them in the past, particularly if they’re still toxic and broken.

Centering ourselves in the here and now, we press forward, ever forward. Visualize yourself breaking your shackles. See yourself tossing those burdens overboard. Then see yourself raising your sail and sailing away.

We may not have arrived, but we know our direction.
