How Our Beliefs Affect Our Emotions

October 21, 2014 by Katie Orr 3 Comments

Beliefs and Obedience.001After a local musical performance of The Little Mermaid, Jr., a little three-year-old girl, Tori, bounced excitedly out to the lobby to meet the actors. Still dressed in their costumes, the characters awaited Tori and the other members of the audience, who herded through the foyer to the front door of the theatre. Tori walked joyfully as she acknowledged the Poor Unfortunate Souls, the Sailors, and various Sea Creatures, until she encountered King Triton. One look at his commanding presence and seemingly sharp trident, and her excitement quickly turned into terror. An ear-piercing, show-stopping scream came out of the little child.

The lobby was completely silent.

The lines of fantasy and reality are still being drawn in Tori’s developing mind. The power of Triton was intimidating from a seat in the theatre, but standing two feet in front of him was all too scary for a child who believes the character is real. Her view of Triton—though incorrect—affected Tori’s emotions and actions in very real ways (and the ringing ears of dozens of onlookers can verify her reality!)

This phenomenon does not stop with childhood. We all hold faulty beliefs, and many of them are tucked away in our views of God.

The way you and I view God is so very, very important. If our mental portrait of God is off from what is true, it will affect our daily emotions and choices. When we have an opportunity for a closer encounter with God, one that requires a trust in His goodness, our true beliefs about who God is will come into play.

If I believe my God is mighty, in-control, all-knowing, and completely full of love for me, I will draw near to Him and follow His lead in faith, because I know His plan for me is safe.

If I believe my God is weak, unable to deliver, and doesn’t understand or care what I’m going through, I will cower in fear, maybe even run in the other direction, because I do not have confidence that God will provide for me.

See the difference?

Not only is the way I view God important, but how I think He views me, is crucial as well.

If I believe that God turns His back on me when I sin, or that He looks for ways to send punishment and judgement down on me, then I will run away and hide from Him when I mess up.

If I believe that my sin is paid for, through Christ, and that when God looks at me, He no longer sees my sin, but sees the righteousness of Christ which was given me at salvation, then I will joyfully and thankfully return to His presence.

For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous. — Romans 5:19

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. — Romans 8:1

If Tori knew the real person behind the Triton costume, she would know that he is indeed a gentle, kind boy who would never do her any harm. However, her beliefs were a powerful dictator of her emotions, and her emotions led her to act in such a way that was inconsistent with the real Triton’s character.

When we allow our faulty beliefs about God dictate our emotions and actions, we miss out on much of what He has provided for us through Christ.

Let’s believe better today, and thus experience a deeper intimacy with God as we see him more clearly for who He really is.

How have you seen your faulty beliefs affect your actions? What are some ways you fight to believe better about God?

(I’ve also podcasted about the importance of our beliefs in relation to our obedience, in my kick-off to a new series on the character of God in Psalm 46. If you are looking for ways to grab truth here and there—in under 15 minutes—the FOCUSed15 Podcast is for you!)

Find More Jesus

March 16, 2013 by Katie Orr Leave a Comment

Believe it or not, Easter is right around the corner! I love holidays but, unfortunately, I have found the days that should be most about Jesus (namely Easter and Christmas) are crowded out with many other things — good things like family and good eats — but not Jesus-things.

As a momma, my primary role is to lead my kids to Jesus. I long for my kids to be able to one day say that I gave them ample opportunities to believe in Jesus and that I continued to point them to Him throughout their childhood. If you are a mom, grandma, and/or aunt, I’m sure you share this longing.

If I am not careful, my children will grow up experiencing Easter as a sugar-filled day with fun activities and family dinner; they will get a new dress or pastel tie, a pretty basket, and probably a few cavities.

But no Jesus.

— Find More Jesus

So in my efforts to keep the gospel at the center of our family traditions, I created Find More Jesus: How to Make Easter All About Jesus. This e-guide is an easy — yet incredibly meaningful — Easter plan sure to point your children to real meaning of Easter.

Each day includes:

  • Short daily Bible reading.
  • Corresponding simple egg-activity.
  • Suggested prayer time.
  • Personal focus point for you to chat about with your family.

A supplies list (items you probably already have around the house) and thoughts on the Easter bunny from a Christian worldview are also included.

Hop on over to get your own copy today, and be sure to check out our Facebook page, where the Find More Jesus community will be sharing their Easter celebrations along the way.

My hope is that Find More Jesus will make your Easter season intentionally Christ-centered AND easy.

Katie has made it easy to purposefully share the real message of Easter with our children and grandchildren. This 8-day family devotional guide helps you teach children the foundational truths of the Easter story in a fun format. —Kathy Howard

Help End Bible Poverty

October 4, 2012 by Katie Orr Leave a Comment

It has been a year since Lara Williams and I first launched Savoring Living Water: How to Have an Effective Quiet Time. I thought we might sell a hundred or so copies of our little e-book. Yet here we are—thousands of copies later—with the book in print and a leader’s guide right around the corner.

God has chosen to use our little e-book in a big way to help end Bible Poverty. We set a crazy big goal last year to bring 104 verses to the Vidunda people, through OneVerse, a Wycliff Bible Translators affiliate.

Today, we stand with only 16 verses left.

Sixteen!

To celebrate all the Lord has done, and to reach our goal near our one-year mark, we are going to give ALL PROFITS to OneVerse for every sale of the e-version sold today, and we would love for Y-O-U to be a part of the work God is doing in the lives of the Vidunda people!

Every PDF, Nook, and Kindle version sold on Thursday, October 4th (TODAY!) will bring $5 to a Bible for the Vidunda people.

How you can help!

The easiest way to help us meet our goal is to purchase your own e-copy of Savoring Living Water: How to have an effective quiet time. Be sure to do that TODAY so we can send the extra $3 to OneVerse. (We usually do $2 a copy.)

If you already have a copy, consider gifting a copy to someone who would enjoy the book, or donating directly to the Savoring Living Water OneVerse project.  Any gift amount is welcome!

Another way to help is to spread the word!

  • Click here to share on Twitter 
  • Click this Facebook link and copy/paste this (or whatever you feel like saying about it):

 Many people around the world do not have a single verse of Scripture in their own language. Want to help #endbiblepoverty AND get an ebook on how to have an effective time in the Bible? Follow the link to find out how.

 

Thank you for helping us bring God’s Word to the nations!

I Am Adopted

October 2, 2012 by Katie Orr 7 Comments

I’ve said it before, the most important thing about you and I is what we believe. Specifically, it is of utmost importance what we believe about God and what we believe about ourselves.

Our beliefs affect everything.

That’s why we love theology here at Do Not Depart. Because we know that if you and I  get our theology—what we believe—in line with Scripture, and walk forward with what we discover, our lives will truly be transformed.

This month we will be looking at the great doctrine of adoption. We’ll take a look at the heart of the One who chose us and all the implications for the God-adopted child.

What do you think about the reality that you were hand-picked by God to be a part of His family? What are some of your favorite “adoption” verses?

Share them with us, in the comments!

Love Like Him: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

June 4, 2012 by Katie Orr 2 Comments

I’ve shared this before over on my personal blog, but I saw so many of these great, personal versions of 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 this week shared in the #LoveLikeHim stream on Twitter, I thought I would share mine again.

IF I AM FULL OF LOVE…

I will persevere the offenses of others.

I will show kindness to those who have offended me.

I will not boil with envy.

I will not put myself on display.

I will not put my desires above the needs of others.

I will not demand my own way.

I will not be irritable towards those that I love.

I will not resent those that I love.

I will not enjoy sin, but take joy in what is right.

I will be a protective covering over those around me, as we weather together the storms that come our way.

I will choose to believe the best of those I love.

I will keep a confident expectation for good things to come

I will remain and not run away, even when the unthinkable happens.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 — as how I want this passage to be made true in my life

 

I would LOVE for  you to share yours as well! Just leave a link to your post, or copy out your “re-write” of these verses in the comments.

Here I Raise My Ebenezer: Waiting for “The One”

May 29, 2012 by Katie Orr 11 Comments

A college junior sits in a coffee shop in Myrtle Beach. She and a dear friend pull out their journals and spent some time listing. They each pray, asking God to open their eyes to what is most important. They write out characteristics, filled with a great hope for what is to come and a belief that such a man exists.

Then they share, feeling a little silly opening up their dreams to one another. But as they do, they declare their faith in a God who sees. A God who knows the longings of their hearts. A God who has incredible plans for each of them.

Reality hits.

One of those hope-filled girls was me. In the years to come, I found it hard to cling to the faithfulness of God.

It was difficult to wait when I was surrounded by couples, engagement rings, and I Dos. It was compounded by the fact that I hadn’t had a date in years.

There were days I wondered if there was something wrong with me. Maybe if I were more like her, someone would take notice? What can I change to be more desirable?

More years passed, and nothing.

Then one day, something happened—I fell in love with my best guy-friend.

And I was pissed.

Seriously.

Enter awkwardness.

You see, I had found this friend, this boy, who I was comfortable with. There were no pretenses, no games (minus a prank war or two.) We just got each other, and could talk and goof off for hours.

The coolest thing about it all? We didn’t like each other. 

It made the friendship so easy! There was no worrying about what he was thinking. I knew what he was thinking…he was pursuing another woman. And my heart was set an another guy.

Those prospects eventually fizzled for both of us, and months later I literally woke up and found myself liking this boy. I was frustrated because suddenly this great, simple friendship was not so simple.

I struggled with what to do about it. Should I tell him? Should I act differently, to show him my feelings? What if he never sees that my heart toward him is different?

Before I had time to make a game-plan he said five words that I thought would kill me. “So, I’m thinking of pursuing Sharon.”

The wait.

So, I sat on my feelings. I told no one for a good month, when I finally fessed up to my best friend. (She knew already, of course.)

I had struggled since my high school days with the sin of manipulating situations, of trying to be someone I wasn’t, of taking matters in my own hands. The sin of not trusting in God. I had learned my lesson, and I was determined to—this time—truly trust God with this situation.

This was a man of God. He walked in prayerful confidence toward God’s leading. I had seen this man pursue other women.

I needed to trust that if this was God’s will, my heavenly Father would lead this man to me. And, if He chose not to there was a very good reason for it.

God did lead that man to pursue me. It took a couple of months, but in His perfect way and timing, He did.

God’s faithful timing.

We dated for about four months, were engaged for seven, and in less than a year before we had that “define the relationship” talk I had become Mrs. Chris Orr.

As I look back on the list I scribbled down one hope-filled day in Myrtle Beach, some thirteen years ago, I can see that He was faithful, every step of the way.

Chris Orr, my best friend, husband, and the father of my three beautiful children, has every one of those characteristics I had trusted God for.

He is all I ever wanted, and everything I never knew I needed.

I’m so glad I waited.

I waited for my faithful God to lead this man to me. 

What is your story? Where have you seen God’s faithfulness bring you exactly what you needed? I hope you’ll share a story or two with us!

The Love Like Him study starts TODAY!

May 14, 2012 by Katie Orr 3 Comments

It’s not too late to join in. We are looking at the context of 1 Corinthians 13 this week. Today is the LAST DAY to get the Love Like Him and the Focused15 study for free! Head over to Inspired to Action for more information about each Bible study. 

While you’re there, check out the HelloMornings challenge and join in if you can. Registration ends today! You do not have to be a part of the HelloMornings challenge to join the study, and all are welcome to download a copy and start with us today!

We’ll be here every Monday to discuss all we’ve learned the week before.

Great Online Bible Study Sites

Understanding the context of a passage of Scripture is very important. Many good study Bibles (the The ESV Study Bible is my favorite!) have a great introduction to each book, which gives us helpful information to understand the “why” behind the book’s writing.

Now, if you don’t have a study Bible, or if you still want to do some digging, there are loads of great sites online that can help you in your search!

  • eBible.com and biblegateway.com are two great sites in which you can easily switch translations, for day 1. (eBible also has an AWESOME iPad app.)
  • Bible.org typically has great introductions and outlines available for each book.
  • I will often just do a Google search for what I am looking for, in this case “context of 1 Corinthians”, then I will browse several of the results from familiar sites.

There are many other great Bible study sites to browse through, if you are looking for more! You may even find something to use on your iPhone or Android devices.

We are blessed to live in this age of technology, with an incredible amount of information literally at our fingertips!

We’re praying for you this summer, that God would continue to do a great work in each of us as we dive into His word and learn to love like Him!

See you next Monday, when we will chat about what we learned this week about the context of 1 Corinthians 13. If you are on Twitter, you can join in the conversation all week, using the hashtag #LoveLikeHim. Or, come and share what you are learning on the Do Not Depart Facebook page!

Have you done this type of study before? Is this intimidating to you? Exciting? What are you looking forward to in this Love Like Him study? Let us know in the comments!

I Praise Because He is Worthy (Run to Him – Psalm 148)

April 14, 2012 by Katie Orr 2 Comments

Praise the Lord

We’ve been in Psalm 148 this week. Everytime I read it, I get this Seeds Family Worship song stuck in my head. (Click here if you can’t see the video.) It’s my daughter’s favorite Seed’s song, and she asks for it almost every time we get in the car. So I’ve listened to it…a lot.

Praise the Lord!

There is no mistaking the main command in Psalm 148!  We are to praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord

I looked at the Hebrew word for praise this week; it is halal. I love the insight looking at the original language gives:

…to shine…to make a show, to boast; and thus to be (clamorously) foolish; to rave…celebrate, commend…glory, give (light)…(sing, be worthy of) praise…renowned, shine. (Strong’s Concordance via eBible)

How to Praise the Lord

One fun Bible study tool is to insert these synonyms into the verses, to get a fuller meaning of the text. Let’s try it together!

Shine the Lord!
Make a show about the Lord!
Boast about the Lord!
Be clamorously foolish about the Lord!
Rave about the Lord!
Celebrate the Lord!
Commend the Lord!
Give glory to the Lord!

Doesn’t this give a better idea of what it means to praise the Lord?

Let them praise the name of the Lord!

What can you praise God for today? Share it in the comments below!

Oh sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth!
Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
tell of his salvation from day to day.
Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised!
(Psalm 96:1-4 ESV)

I Obey Because He Instructs Righteousness (Run to Him – Psalm 119)

March 31, 2012 by Katie Orr 2 Comments

Picky

Obedience.

It’s hard for my four year old. (It’s also hard for that four-year-old’s momma.)

Though I long to live a life of obedience to His commands, I struggle daily to keep my feet on the narrow path.

Obedience is not simply a choice of the will, as our efforts will only bring us so far. Our beliefs come in to play as well.

When I disobey I am ultimately saying that I know better—just like my four year old. Now, I might never say so with my mouth—that I know better than God—but I say it daily when I choose my own way.

You do too.

Disobedience, even in the smallest of choices, is at its core rebellion against the God of those commands.

When I choose selfishness instead of sacrifice, I sin. When I “vent” my frustrations about a difficult person instead of holding my tongue, I disobey. When my thoughts drift to discontentment and dwell in an attitude of ungratefulness, I rebel.

In each of these situations, I say “Katie knows best.”

Obedience is saying “God knows best.”

Holiness is not a series of do’s and don’ts, but conformity to the character of God and obedience to the will of God. – Jerry Bridges, The Pursuit of Holiness

The Beliefs of the Psalmist

Your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soul keeps them. (Psalm 119:129)

The psalmist was not some super-Christian, who had more ability to obey than you or me. We have all been given everything we need for godliness (2 Peter 1). We just need to figure out what hinders us. Oftentimes it is because we don’t believe that God and His commands are good. The psalmist saw God’s commands as wonderful, and I fully believe that had all to do with his commitment to obedience.

Here is more of what the psalmist believed:

  • God’s words gives light and understanding. (Psalm 119:130)
  • His rules are forever right and faithful. (Psalm 119:138, 144)
  • God righteousness is everlasting. (Psalm 119:137,142)
  • His Word is very pure.  (Psalm 119:140)
  • His law is truth and well tried. (Psalm 119:142)

Because of these beliefs, the writer of this Psalm had a resolved commitment to the Word of God, and the God of those words. This commitment flows naturally into obedience.

The Actions of the Psalmist

Here are just a few actions I saw of the psalmist:

  • He longed for God’s commandments. (Psalm 119:131)
  • He prayed for God to teach him His statues, and direct his steps by the Word (Psalm 119:133, 135)
  • He loved the Word. (Psalm 119:140)
  • He delighted in God’s commands. DELIGHTED. (Psalm 119:35, 143)
  • He was determined to walk in obedience to God’s Word. (Psalm 119:33,34,57)

The psalmist understood the relationship between God and His commandments. They could not be separated. If He wanted to be near to God, He must walk in His commands. He saw God and His commandments as good, right, and trustworthy. That made all the difference in his obedience.

When we walk with the Lord

in the light of his word,

what a glory he sheds on our way!

While we do his good will,

he abides with us still,

and with all who will trust and obey.

Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at his feet,

or we’ll walk by his side in the way;

what he says we will do,

where he sends we will go;

never fear, only trust and obey.

Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

–John H. Sammis

Intentional Bible Study in Fifteen Minutes a Day

March 22, 2012 by Katie Orr Leave a Comment

The Bible is so much more than just another book. It is living. Active. Life-changing.

That’s why you are here, at Do Not Depart. You love the Word. You know it’s value. You crave time with your Savior.

Announcing a New Study Series

I’ve created a new Bible study series to help you in your time with God in His Word.

Many of you have been enjoying the Run to Him study.

I am thrilled!

Lara and I appreciate the positive feedback about the study, and we JUST LOVE hearing about how God is using the selected Psalms to speak truth to your soul.

Focused 15: Intentional Bible Study in Fifteen Minutes a Day uses a method of study similar to the studies of the past, but I’ve taken it up a notch.

Through the use of different “lenses,” Focused15 will teach you how to dig even deeper.

  • Day 1 – Portrait Lens – Seeing the big-picture through cross-referencing.
  • Day 2 – Immersion Lens – Discovering the original language.
  • Day 3 – Zoom Lens – Finding truths, promises, and commands.
  • Day 4 – Wide-angle Lens – Looking at the sentence structure.
  • Day 5 – Personal Lens –  Looking for God’s plan for us in these verses.

Focused15: 1 Corinthians 13 The first study—a four week study of 1 Corinthians 13—has “officially” launched today, and I would love to know what you think!

You can read all about it at the Focused15 site.

This Focused15 Bible study is available for immediate PDF download for only $3.99!

Add to Cart

It is also available for Kindle and Nook, and every Kindle and Nook ebook contains a free download link to the PDF, for easy printing!

My prayer for this book is to equip you to study the Bible on your own—to take one more step toward becoming a self-feeder—so you can enjoy Him more and more every day!
