Today's Meditation: Live With Jesus's Return in Mind!
The PROCESS Driving the 5 Crowns of Reward
The New Testament outlines #5CrownsofReward , and we have been expounding on each of them from our upcoming book, Crowns of Valor--Bold Leaders, Arise! (See Barnes & Noble), as well as the 2nd and 3rd orders of effects from using them to guide ministry. But in this brief article, we will cover the gleaming jewel that is hidden in plain sight amidst the 5 Crowns of Reward themselves, namely, the process driving these crowns! There's no technical or special name for it; you won't find this process directly referenced in any specific verse of Scripture, nor will you find any preacher identifying it through a sermon series. No. But you will find that once you SEE what this process does for your Christian faith and maturity, you can never UNSEE it!! As we summarize each crown, try to picture a flow to the big picture toward Christian maturity. See https://authors.tertulia.com/drjustinrwoods-drafteldm83 for links to get our book, Crowns of Valor. Firstly, let's summarize each of the 5 Crowns of Reward, and that will give us the roadmap to uncover what drives them. We start with #1 the Crown of Righteousness (2 Tim 4:8), which keeps us reading the Scripture daily. This practice fills us with the remembrance of the Holy Spirit leading us through all truth (Jn 16:13), and it holds us in the love for Jesus's return. #2 is the Imperishable Crown for disciplining our bodies in service to the Lord and the members of the Church. This holds in place our agreement with one another on God's vision over the congregation, and calls each of us to edify one another with our gifts and calling as the Body of Christ. #3 is the Crown of Life. When we are filled with the Holy Spirit's word, transforming our lives, and come together in allegiance to Christ's mission, the world will notice and throw all the attacks of the enemy in response. Paul warns that everyone who lives a godly life will suffer for the gospel and Christ's name's sake.

What is Faith in God's Word?
The Crown of Rejoicing is about winning souls, but how do we do that? Jesus Christ plainly referred to the Word of God as the "seed" which is planted in people (Luke 8:11): "The seed is the word of God." He used this metaphor to point out the relationship between humanity's reception in time and God's Word from eternity. While Jesus talked about 4 different types of reaction in the parable of the sower, the entire parable was used to inspire one common reaction that believers ought to take toward sowing the word in others: absolute, unwavering faith that after you sow the seed of God's Word in anyone, it will produce a reaction from them by the power of God's Holy Spirit. That is the topic of this article: placing our faith in God's Word to produce in others. Firstly, many places in Scripture reveal the same category of power from God's Word. Of that, we may place our faith. And when we do, that faith will invigorate our efforts to sow in every person. Let's look at a few examples. One of the most prominent examples, as well as the most elaborate, comes out of the Book of Hebrews (4:12-13). For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account. The Holy Spirit has communicated several critical ideas that inform our faith in the work of God's Word, the power of God to which people are exposed: 1. God's Word holds humanity accountable, 2. God's Word discerns the thoughts and intents of the heart, and 3. God's Word is a living, active force that humanity cannot avoid, thwart, or hide from. Firstly, it is by the Word of God that people know they will give an account of themselves. This is not just speaking of the Scriptures that overtly communicate about judgment day, either. This aspect speaks of any part of the Word of God shared by a believer, because regardless of which truth you share, the unbeliever must hold in their conscience whether they accept or reject it. They decide whether they will retain it in their knowledge of God or turn to other sources. Paul's letter to the Romans, chapter 1, covers this concept well. For believers, the Word of God begins the sanctifying work of the Spirit in their lives (1 Thess 2:13). But unbelievers rejecting the Word of God only go from bad to worse (2 Tim 3:13). Even believers are not immune from deception's crafty schemes, which can lead them in a downward spiral, finally becoming enemies of the cross (Phil 3:18-19).
