Sunday Inspiration: My Favorite Graduation

Dr. Joseph Peck — Sun, 13 May 2012 16:50:58 +0000

My Favorite Graduation

Dear friend,

Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending my niece Olivia’s graduation ceremony at Messiah College in Pennsylvania, south of Harrisburg.

The day was gorgeous with a deep blue sky and the temperature in the high 70′s.

The processional was wonderful onto the beautiful soccer field. We watched the ceremony from the bleachers above the field.

When President Kim Phipps welcomed people and then said the opening prayer herself, I told my son that God will show up in power when He’;s publicly invited to do so. And He did.

Following the prayer, as associate professor read a scripture – Psalm 103:1-5, 19-22.

Then the concert choir sang two beautiful Christian songs.

And then the keynote speaker was introduced – Raymond Barfield, M.D., a pediatric oncololgist at Duke Univesity who cares for many children with terminal cancer.

Dr. Barfield’s graduation speech was the best one I had ever heard. Many others agreed. He spoke with humility, transparency, and simplicity. His take-away message was love, love, love

And his key scripture was 1 John 4:18 – “perfect love casts out fear”

I was very impressed by the history of Messiah College, its mission, motto, and foundation values. See The Community Covenant of Messiah College

The college motto, “Christ Preeminent,” points to a full and rich understanding of Jesus Christ and the Christian faith relevant to every dimension of life. The phrase points to Jesus Christ as both “the ground for personal salvation and the pattern for life and service.”

Blessings to love, love, love!

Sunday Inspiration: How can you be more effective?

Dr. Joseph Peck — Mon, 07 May 2012 02:48:13 +0000

Be more effective

Dear friend,

Recently, I have had privilege of participating in several different Master’s Mind Marketing (MMM) tribes each week.

On Tuesday May 1, during our MMM meeting for the Global Apostolic Prayer Network (GAPN), Pastor Mark Henderson shared a powerful vision he had after asking “LORD, what can I do to be more effective?” Mark is the pastor of Glory House in Austin Texas.

In response to his question, Mark saw the LORD stretch out his hand, lift up one finger, and say “TIME.” Then the LORD lifted a second finger and said “FOCUS”. Finally, the LORD raised a third finger and saying “ORGANIZATION.”

That really resonated with me and every day since I have thought about this.

So TIME, FOCUS, and ORGANIZATION are three simple ways you and I can be more effective.

My question to you is “What will you do differently as a result of knowing this?”

Prayer Power
Heavenly Father, thank You for sharing this simple, yet profound message. Help me to apply this to my life to be more effective. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

Sunday Inspiration: The Cornerstone of a Christian’s Faith

Dr. Joseph Peck — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 18:48:36 +0000

As I sat listening to today’s sermon at Soul Purpose Community Church, I felt compelled to share this recap with you because this message is foundational for followers of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Is Alive, Again!

The cornerstone of a Christian’s faith is the RESURRECTION of Jesus. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the single act in history that separates Christianity from every other religion, every other philosophy, and every other belief system in the world.

The great apostle Paul wrote, “And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!” (1 Cor. 15:17, NKJV)

WHY THE RESURRECTION?

1) Only Jesus is God’s perfect sacrifice who could pay for our sins because He was God in the flesh and therefore had God’s holy nature.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:1,14, NKJV)

2) It proves the sacrifice was accepted by God and that Jesus has power over death.

3) The resurrection restores mankind back to eternal life and from sin and death.

But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. (1 Corinthians 15:20-22, NKJV)

4) A monumental event demands a response:

“if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10)

5) The resurrection empowers a new life and new choices:

Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. (Romans 6:4, NKJV)

Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another–to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. (Romans 7:4, NKJV)

These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. (1 John 5:13-15, NKJV)

On a scale of 1-10, how would rate your allowing Christ complete control of life?

On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your fruit of the Spirit?

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering (patience), kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. (Galations 5:22-23, NKJV)

Be Equally Yoked in Business!

Dr. Joseph Peck — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 09:55:35 +0000

During the past few months, I have become good friends with Bill Murray and Rob Moss, the founders of the Christian Angel Capital Network (CACN).

A few weeks ago, our Founding Father’s tribe had the privilege of having Bill join us as a guest expert for one of our weekly Master’s Mind Marketing meetings. Bill shared the history of the CACN and showed the backend of the CACN website. That is first class.

It’s my personal belief that the CACN is heaven’s blueprint for angel capital investing.

It’s amazing how God has positioned the CACN as the largest angel capital network in the world in less than two years through Bill and Rob’s faithfulness in following the vision God laid out for them. .

Based on my knowledge of Bill, Rob, and the CACN, I give my highest recommendation to this organization. And the amazing thing is you can now join for free if you agree with their foundation values.

I believe it’s very important to be “equally yoked” in your faith as the basis for your future relationships.

In 2 Corinthians 6:14, the great apostle Paul warned us, “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?”

This principle of being equally yoked applies not only to our marriages and closest friendships, but also to our businesses, where many of us spend most of our waking hours.

The Christian Angel Capital Network (CACN) is a place Where Christian Angel Investors Meet Christian Entrepreneurs! You can be “equally yoked” with your Business Partners too!

Learn more about the CACN!!!

Blessings to be equally yoked in business!!!

Subject: New Tourism Brochure On the Cross!
To: Joseph Peck, M.D.

Dear Prayer Intercessors & Friends,

Attached is the new brochure on the Sculpture Prayer Garden that TCKF has prepared to attract thousands of tourists to see “The Empty Cross” here in Kerrville. Access from Benson Dr. is now open to the public. The contractor is still working on paving our main entrance, but for now we have temporary bypass road around the construction area, so people can reach the cross.

The new brochure does not picture all the other monumental Christian sculptures that have been donated by the Paddlefords, the Broussards and my family, since they have not been installed yet. We did not want to create false expectations of what tourists can see at this time.

Therefore, we focused on the one powerful sculpture that can be viewed now, which is the centerpiece of the entire 23 acre Garden. TCKF will update this tourism brochure when more sculptures are placed. However, we believe the massive, open cross alone will draw many people to Jesus and His cross now. Plus, miracles are happening everyday at the cross, to hundreds of people, so the Holy Spirit will use these true stories to draw people who are looking for the real God.

This particular brochure is designed to create curiosity in the minds of the public and a hunger for God, so people will actually come to Kerrville to see the massive cross.

Once tourists walk inside the monumental cross, they will be able to read the four wall plaques, which share the Gospel. People will then have the opportunity to reach out to God, inside the 77’7″ cross, in the 7′ wide holy place.

I am working on a second brochure now which will feature the text of the four plaques, so people can take this evangelistic message of the cross home with them. These tracts will be available at the Garden. The text is already available online, at our websites:

www.thecomingkingfoundation.org
www.pavethewaytothecross.net
www.thecrossatkerrville.org

Please pray that God uses these new brochures to bring thousands of people to the cross!

Thanks for your prayers!

In Jesus,

Max

Sunday Inspiration: STOP STRIVING

Dr. Joseph Peck — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 15:38:20 +0000

STOP STRIVING

Power for Life: Heidi Baker – The Power of Love

Dear friend,

Over the past few weeks, the LORD has been speaking to me in a variety of ways to STOP STRIVING. I even had a vivid dream on April 15 that woke me up about this. I sense strongly this message is intended for many other people too, perhaps you.

During our last Master’s Mind Marketing group meeting for the Founding Father’s Tribe on April 19, Jeff Clark had us reflect on Proverbs 10:22 – “The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow (labor) with it!”

Jeff went on to explain that the Hebrew word translated sorrow here actually means hard labor, hard toil, striving. He said another way to translate Proverbs 10:22 is “The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, and our labor adds nothing to it!”

According to Adam Clarke’s Commentary, “Whatever we receive in the way of providence, has God’s blessing in it, and will do us good. Cares, troubles, and difficulties come with all property not acquired in this way; but God’s blessing gives simple enjoyment, and levies no tax upon the comfort.”

According to Family Bible Notes, “True prosperity flows from God’s presence and blessing. Without this all apparent success will but multiply our troubles.”

The world says “Follow these steps to success,” but God says “Rest in Me, abide in Me, and I will take care of your needs.”

Psalm 127:1 admonishes us, “Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it;”

And in Deuteronomy 8:18, Moses warns “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth.”

Through Jesus Christ, we become adopted sons of Abba Father, being set free from the bondage of sin and death. After our spiritual rebirth, God wants us to live our lives as sons of His, not as slaves.

In the story of the Prodigal Son, the father reminds his oldest son after he complains about the favorable treatment of his younger brother, “Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.” (Luke 15:31)

Are you striving to make things happen? Are you complaining about the lot dealt in your life?

If so, then stop right now. And start flowing in the Spirit by following God’s game plan

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

P.S. Yesterday evening I received an email from Breaking Christian News announcing Chuck Colson’s death at age 80. That broke my heart because Chuck Colson was a spiritual giant and a champion for religious freedom. While I was deeply saddened by this news, I rejoice knowing he left a plan of succession. This morning I was led to writing this inspiring tribute to Chuck Colson

Chuck Colson of Prison Fellowship Dies at 80 Years Old

Julie A. Smith – Breaking Christian News/Chuck Colson and Prison Fellowship Ministries

One of the most wonderful things about being a Christian is that I don’t ever get up in the morning and wonder if what I do matters. I live every day to the fullest because I can live it through Christ and I know no matter what I do today, I’m going to do something to advance the Kingdom of God. -Charles Colson

Editor’s note: Let’s be praying for the legacy of this national evangelist to live on through his mission to “proclaim to inmates the love and the power of Jesus Christ” and let’s lift up the Colson family in their time of loss. -Julie A. Smith, BCN

Charles W. “Chuck” Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship and the Colson Center for Christian Worldview, died this afternoon from complications of a brain hemorrhage. Colson was 80 years old and was surrounded by his wife Patty and family as he graduated to Heaven. (Photo: Christian Post)

According to chuckcolson.org, “Colson spent the last years of his life in the dual role of leading Prison Fellowship, the world’s largest outreach to prisoners, ex-prisoners and their families, and the Colson Center, a teaching and training center focused on Christian worldview thought and application. Colson maintained that the greatest joy in life for him was to see those ‘living monuments’ to God’s grace: Prisoners transformed by the love of Jesus Christ.”

Colson was involved in the Watergate scandal in the early 70s, which lead him to spending a year in federal prison. It was there where his ministry and legacy was birthed. After being released, Chuck founded Prison Fellowship in 1976 to “proclaim to inmates the love and the power of Jesus Christ.” In 1977, he started a Biblically-based teaching seminar in prison which paved the way for hundreds of thousands of prisoners to receive Bible studies across the nation and has spread worldwide ever since. Prison Fellowship relies on more than 20,000 volunteers nationwide and is also an international ministry in more than 100 countries worldwide through the work of Prison Fellowship International.

From chuckcolson.org: The Colson family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Charles Colson Legacy Fund. Condolence cards may be sent to Prison Fellowship Ministries, 44180 Riverside Parkway, Lansdowne, VA 20176.

This morning as I was preparing this message to share with the world, I was led to do more research about Chuck. Here are some of the heart-grabbing resources I was led to:

Mission/Vision//Values of Prison Fellowship

Bio of Charles W. Colson

More than 30 years ago, Charles W. Colson was not thinking about reaching out to prison inmates or reforming the U.S. penal system.

In fact, this aide to President Richard Nixon was “incapable of humanitarian thought,” according to the media of the mid-1970s.

Colson was known as the White House “hatchet man,” a man feared by even the most powerful politicos during his four years of service to President Nixon.

When news of Colson’s conversion to Christianity leaked to the press in 1973, the Boston Globe reported, “If Mr. Colson can repent of his sins, there just has to be hope for everybody.”

Colson would agree. He admits he was guilty of political “dirty tricks” and willing to do almost anything for the cause of his president and his party.

In 1974, Colson entered a plea of guilty to Watergate-related charges; although not implicated in the Watergate burglary, he voluntarily pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice in the Daniel Ellsberg case.

He entered Alabama’s Maxwell Prison in 1974 as a new Christian and as the first member of the Nixon administration to be incarcerated for Watergate-related charges. He served seven months of a one-to-three year sentence before being released.

But Colson never really left prison. Haunted by the desperation and hopelessness he saw behind bars, Colson knew he had to do something to help the men he left behind. In fact, he had a promise to keep.

Chuck Colson Remembered

Amazing Grace was one of Chuck Colson’ favorite songs, especially when he visited prisons. Here is a video with Wintley Phipps sharing the history of Amazing Grace and then signing that famous song. This will touch your heart. Wintley Phipps is President of the US Dream Academy, an organization for children of prisoners.

Chuck Colson on Religious Freedom and Possible Necessity of Civil Disobedience

Chuck Colson speaks on the urgency of protecting our religious freedom and freedom of conscience. He addresses the present crisis stemming from the Department of Health and Human Services and Obama administration mandate to the Catholic church to include mandatory services in their health insurance, which go against Catholic teaching and conscience. He refers to the Manhattan Declaration as a platform for firm resistance and urges all to sign it and send links to others.
