EDIT: 06:32 I say "adoption" and mean to say "abortion"
Environmental circumstances do not dictate the value of life?
So there is my stance, now you know, but I wanted to talk about this from a different angle and ask a question. How does this change the responsibility we have as followers of Christ? I think it is great to celebrate the fact that the laws of our lands, if this is overturned, reflect a little bit more the heart of Jesus. But what does this change? Are we able to sit back and kick our feet up because this battle is won? Are men and women going to all of sudden stop having premarital sex and getting pregnant during an inconvenient time in their life?

Spencer Smithhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOoH5vqogLY&t=607sThis conversation is about individual consumption of worship music NOT should churches play it or should you use it for a conference you're hosting? But rather, can I listen to a biblically accurate, non heretical song, regardless of artist and still practice John 3:30 and exalt the LORD God Almighty? What is Worship?

Psalm 1:1-3
Luke 8:15
The belief that a person needs to “feel” something after reading their Bible or spending time with Jesus is one of my generation's greatest misconceptions. Even looking at a more macro level, this is the American culture at large. We are a society that glorifies consumerism. We offer our time, money, and resources for instant gratification and we most likely become loyal to that thing until another thing that gives us a better dopamine hit comes along....

A kick-off to a series I am super pumped about where we address and combat common misconceptions about reading God's Word.
-I don't have time.
-Historical and isn't relatable.
-I won't be able to understand it.
-Not smart enough.
-I can just learn from other people (pastor).
-I need to feel something when/after?
-Bible contradicts itself.
-Story made by man
-and more...

This Week in the News...
So it is safe to say that there has been a lot in the news lately. Kyle Rittenhouse was announced as not-guilty (along with Andrew Coffee IV), Julius Jones was let off of death-row, and the Ahmaud Arbury trial in full swing.

Withholding No Good Thing
- Ethos Sermon discussing Genesis 3 and the strategy of Satan.
- The strategy was that Satan convinced Adam and Eve that God was withholding something from them.
- Twisting what God said and planting this egocentric thinking into man and woman.
- Which we see the fruit of this disobedience today with culture and the world giving just about anything the stamp of approval if it is in the name of personal pleasure or “identity” allowing us to be our own gods.
- The strategy was that Satan convinced Adam and Eve that God was withholding something from them.
- I mean how easy is it for us to think that God is purposely withholding good things from us? I know I can so easily trend down that path!

***Lust: Channeling Desire
…*that word is epithymeo **which means to turn upon a thing, to desire, to lust, and to covet.
CORRECTION: Genesis 4:7 not Genesis 4:17 as stated in episode.**

Episode Outline Week 2
- If you are a Millennial or a fan of counter-cultural thought provokers then you probably have heard of Jordan Peterson.
- About Jordan B. Peterson
- One of his latest podcast episodes, featuring Jonathan Pageau, Jordan Peterson has this profound and emotional moment when meditating on the person of Jesus Christ.
- And regardless of his beliefs, what I admire about Jordan Peterson is that he is a thinker who is in pursuit of truth. Not politicized truth, not racial truth, or any brand of truth that is being pumped out of the factory...TRUTH!
- Re-cap video.
- Aragorn and these literary people we love and idolize. John Wick
- Jordan’s dream
- Song/verse worthy of it all
- Which I find refreshing if I am honest, because my insecurity with being a Christian is that people would look at me and suppose I am uneducated with how things “truly” are and just believe some cop-out fantasy story that allows me to neglect what goes on in the world and not think critically.
- The Acts of the Apostles
- Acts 17
- Persuading, proving (giving evidence for) etc.

- So this, in some ways, is a part II to “Feed My Sheep”. I was watching a video from a Youtuber I truly enjoy, Ruslan KD.
- He has a video that covers his insights and wisdom into the world of Mega Churches, Personality Pastors, and the whole gambit.
- What I agree with…
- I agree that these high-profile, personality pastors, never set out to become what they are today. I, like Ruslan, believe that there were humble and sincere beginnings.
- I agree with his biblical view of church, and getting back to the local congregations that are not focused on entertainment services but rather dedicating all they have to teaching the Word of God in fellowship with one another.
- What I disagree with…
- I disagree with how the conversation unfolds. It seems most or at least a lot of Christians see the overall direction of churches in America and maybe sees something wrong... idk maybe not! But it’s seemingly okay to talk all about these “churches” in a vague sense. These entertainment focused churches and rebuke the false ideologies harbored within. Ruslan even mentions the pastors BY NAME! Steven Furtick, Carl Lentz and I think another.
- YET, he is a fan of them both, or at least Steven Furtick, but not a fan of the church he shepherds. Let's call a spade a spade and not beat around the bush!

Freedom in Christ
- Context
- John 8:31-38
- Romans 8:2
- Romans 8:21
- Galatians 5:1
- So how do we reconcile this truth that we are set free, yet, like I said last episode, and the scriptures declare the fact that there are simply things we are commanded to not do.
- Deny ourselves, pick up our cross, watch our tongue, don’t curse, limit our drinking of alcohol, abstain from sexual relations until marriage, and the definition of marriage has limits, and the list goes on...
- Eleutheroo - Free from the dominion of sin.
- Groups of people (If people love one thing, it’s to be categorized into a group/type of person lol)
- Those who look upon Christianity as an institution that uses all of its “rules and regulations” to control the masses. It is restricting and ruins the full breadth of the human experience.
- So called Christians who, whether they admit it directly or not, think in some way their obedience to the commands of scripture dictates their holiness and salvation. 3.
- For me personally, the concept of freedom really sank in..
- Acts 24:16
- For the first time in my life, when I went to bed and rested my head on that pillow...I had a clear conscience before man, and now because of the work of Christ and this new relationship...God.

The Declaration of Independence is Wrong!
- The term ‘inalienable rights’ is probably extremely familiar with most people.
- These rights that are God-given, and therefore, cannot be taken away by any other individual or group of people.
- We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
- The conversation usually is surrounding politics and, in my experience, most often in response to government overreach.
- The reason I bring this up is because most political commentators, yes conservative, usually say this opening line of the Declaration of Independence and it always causes me to ponder…
- As a disciple of Christ Jesus, what rights are given to me? Do I have the right to free-speech? Do I have the right to bear arms and protect myself? Do I have the right to the pursuit of happiness?
- I ask these questions because what I hear from commentators like Michael Knowles, Rush, and these other conservative voices is that being a Christian and a political conservative are synonymous. Now they don’t go right out and say it but they defend the rhetoric of the Declaration of Independence and use the argument of, ‘these are God-given rights that the government is trying to take away’.
- The last thing I want is for people to not understand, or worse yet, misunderstand the Gospel of Jesus Christ and what it means to follow him or not follow him.
- So the question remains, as Christians, what truths do we hold self-evident?
- The Bill of Rights
- 1 - Nope!
- 2 - Nope!

InstagramWar of Whispers Book Series by J.E. Lowder
- Genesis 4:2-8
- It is absolutely incredible how profound and short this event is!
- What is the key lesson/aspect about God’s character from this infamous encounter between two brothers and God?
- I think it would be rather easy to sum this story up with Hebrews 11:4 and Romans 14:23 (which may be a topic for another time, but I am not so sure it directly applies).
- This story is so much deeper than, “oh well Cain sinned, Abel didn’t, if Cain just offered a better sacrifice all would be good”.
- My takeaway from this entire account is V.7!
- It’s interesting to note that God didn’t punish Cain, he didn’t rebuke until after Cain’s anger sept in.
- This passage, in my opinion, offers insights into the battle between sin and man versus displeasing God with maybe a half-hearted offering.
- Luke 15
- With the return of the prodigal son and the oldest’s reaction is anger (Luke 15:28).

Did God Set Us Up for Failure?: Genesis 1-3
- God the Trinity
- Genesis 1:2, 26
- John 1:1-3
- Colossians 1:16-18
- This perfect communion of God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit existed and exists forever
- We were not created to satisfy a “lonely” God who needed our relationship.
- God is perfectly sovereign
- Ephesians 1:11
- John 15:16
- Psalm 139:4
- So did God set us up for failure!?
- We know that the Trinity has and will always be in perfect communion with one another, we know that God is all knowing and perfectly sovereign, so it stands to question...if God knew that Adam and Eve would sin against him then why did he create this situation/relationship knowing that???
- Parental analogy
- Maybe a better question is what does the creation/fall story (TRUE STORY) teach us about the communion between God and man?
- My personal takeaway
- God was adamant in showing us the importance of heartfelt obedience towards him.
- Psalm 19:7-11
- John 14:15
- Psalm 16:11
- Not in some domineering way but showing us from day 1, in the most loving way, that anything outside of his word leads to separation from him.
- God was adamant in showing us the importance of heartfelt obedience towards him.

Redemption
- What comes to mind when you hear the word redemption, redeemed, or any other variants of the word?
- I first think of a coupon or winning lottery ticket.
- However, I think in a biblical sense, almost every Christian can agree that the concept of redemption is greatly more significant than the simple cashing in of a piece of paper.
- Old Testament Context
- Initial
- Exodus 6:6
- Redeeming of Israel from Egypt.
- Practical & Societal
- Leviticus 25
- Sabbath Year.
- Year of Jubilee (see quote below).
- You almost see this progressive, multi-level view of redemption.
- New Testament Context
- How does Jesus Christ fit into all of this?
- Romans 11:26 (Isaiah 59:20)
- Luke 4:18-19
- Romans 8:23
- Hebrews 8:6 (better promises of New Covenant).

Five Myths About Jubilee
https://tifwe.org/resource/five-myths-about-jubilee/
- This redemptive-historical approach has the advantage of avoiding the debates about capitalism or socialism that we might put forward. The purpose of Jubilee was not income equality but that no Israelite would permanently lose the enjoyment of sitting under “his vine and under his fig tree” (Mic. 4:4).

- The Marine Corps has a saying, “If it aint raining you aint training”. While this phrase does not really carry much substance, the idea of training in the spiritual sense has been fascinating me lately.
a. “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great god and savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works” (Titus 2:11-14, English Standard Version).
b. This concept of the grace of God training us (through his word and his people) is extremely motivating to me. It brings about the same dichotomy discussed in a previous episode…Grace and Works.
c. We are not trained by the grace of God sitting slothfully on our couch, watching Netflix, neglecting time in prayer, the word, and fellowship. All the while expecting some miraculous change in our lives to happen.
d. What are you training for…What do you practice?
-
Soccer Analogy
-
1 John 3:4-10
-
Passivity is indeed practicing. Do not be deceived by the fact that you are okay because you are not murdering, drinking, or doing these heavier sounding sins.
a. If I sit on the couch for a week, I choose to not practice soccer. I am not overtly “training” toward something else, but I am decaying athletically.
b. Do not be surprised if the depth of your relationship with Christ feels shallow because you spent 30 minutes a week in his word.
c. Galatians 6:7-9
d. The same way I am not surprised if I try out for Nashville FC and get told to leave after 10 minutes of sucking air through a straw, trying to survive until the next water break.
- What are you training for? What consumes your mind? What flows from your heart and ultimately out of your mouth?

- Background
- The phrase, “whole heart” stood out to me during my morning quiet time. With the same phrase being a key component to the podcast’s mission statement, I thought it appropriate to explore this phrase further.
- Probably the most famous use of this phrase is in Matthew 22:37, Mark 12:30, or Luke 10:27 where Jesus reiterates Deuteronomy 6:5 when asked which is the greatest commandment of the Law.
- “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.”
- Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.”
- Isaiah 38:3 “Please, O LORD, remember how I have walked before you in faithfulness and with a whole heart, and have done what is good in your sight.”
- Translation
- Hebrew - Shalem
- Proverbs 11:1 “A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, but a just weight is his delight.”
- This isn’t just saying a broken balance...but rather a deceitful one!
- 2 Chronicles 25:2 “And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, yet not with a whole heart.”
- Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’”

Satisfaction/Contentment is the word of the day!
-
Can we first point out how ridiculous these marketing/advertising statements are!?
a. “Your satisfaction guaranteed” -
Being content, in my observation, is something that the world does not really talk too much about.
a. If anything, it is the notion that discontentment fuels success and forward motion. While I agree with a portion of this notion, this idea of satisfaction/contentment has been pressing on my heart for a few weeks.

Wait for the Lord: Trust & Be Still
- What does it mean to wait for the Lord?
a.We, as believers, are commanded to trust, wait, and be still.
b.“Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness…Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act…Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him…” (Psalm 37:3,5,7).
c.I feel like this message can be perpetuated in a variety of ways. The passive and insensitive response to another person’s sorrows and calamity, “Just trust in the Lord and everything will be fine. Be still and know that God is God”. Or false promises are spoken in these “seasons” that make it seem like we are guaranteed something because of trusting, waiting, and being still. “The best is yet to come…God wants you to prosper…God wants you to be successful etc” which perpetuate this prosperity narrative and does not exactly line up with the Gospel.
d.I wanted to take a fresh look and dive deeper than the Christianese we have all heard.
e.Current situation.
- I would argue that these commands of trusting, waiting, and being still are not words of encouragement to hold you over until a coming blessing arrives. But rather to focus on the eternal promises of God made in Christ.
a.“Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the earth!” (Psalm 46:10).
i.I would argue that the commands of trust, waiting, and being still are provocations to shed one’s self and know God. Not putting hope in your immediate or even distant situation in this world but rather trusting, being still, and clinging to the hope found in Jesus Christ.
ii.“Look among the nations and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told” (Habakkuk 1:5).
iii.“Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end – it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay” (Habakkuk 2:2-3).
iv.“But the LORD in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before him” (Habakkuk 2:20).
v.“Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. GOD, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my fee like the deer’s; he makes me tread on my high places” (Habakkuk 3:17-19).
b.Dietrich Bonhoeffer says “The question of trust, which is so closely related to that of authority, is determined by the faithfulness with which a man serves Jesus Christ, never by the extraordinary talents he or she possesses” (Life Together).
c.Am I trying to trust in Christ without acknowledging the authority he has?
d.It is fun to re-examine trust through the lens of authority. I so often think of it like some lottery, hoping for some blessing to hold me over until I get tired of it and want another.
e.“One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple” (Psalm 24:7)

Unity in Christ
-
This episode, in some way, is a continuation and further explanation to my most recent episode, “Do Justice”. If you have not listened to it go check it out! But I explain why believers should be weary of being swept up in these various ideological movements that are beginning to drip their influence into the church.
-
Why is this important? Jesus and the NT writers makes it abundantly clear that false doctrines and the ways of the world are going to deceive and distract from the truth.
-
I do not necessarily believe that Christians can never disagree or adopt a variety of techniques and strategies to present the Gospel, but it seems more and more each day the church is forsaking foundational theology for worldly wisdom and inclusion. Those in Christ should be more united then divided. If you are in Christ, someone saying they do not support a LGBTQ affirming, family dismantling organization should not offend you in the least bit!
-
Peter says in 1 Peter 3:8 we are to have unity of mind. That word unity is translated exactly as it reads when it is used (harmonious, union, of one mind).

- Psalm 89:14 | Micah 6:8 | Deuteronomy 27:19
a. Is what we are seeing a true exemplification or pursuit of justice? - When there is a marginalized community, is seeking change through a counter-biblical political movement the answer?
a. As believers if we look to anything outside of the scriptures to help us understand justice then we have already lost. - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
a. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. claimed, in his speech during the March on Washington, that “today will go down in history as the greatest demonstration of freedom in the history of our nation” (I Have a Dream transcript).
i. “The discipleship advocated respectively by Bonhoeffer and King was very similar; they championed an interpretation of the way of Jesus that can be described by Glen Stassen’s description of the connection between love and justice in his interpretation of agape as “delivering love” (Williams, 2014).
b. “For King, the means we employ to resist injustice must be the same means that will guide our social relations once the injustice is removed. Christ provided the means: love, mutual concern, and peace-making are what he understood as the means and the goals of the beloved community” (Williams, 2014).
c. “We must not allow our creative protests to degenerate into physical violence. Again, and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to distrust all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny” (I Have a Dream transcript).
d. “In a sense we’ve come to our nations capital to cash a check. When the architects of our Republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men – yes, black men as well as white men – would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note” (I Have a Dream transcript).
e. Isaiah 40:5 | Amos 5:24

- I figured if I cowered away from this topic then I would be feeding into the taboo nature this topic has become.
a. My heart goes out to all in the LGBTQ community for how the Church has forsaken love for self-righteous judgement.
b. I do not claim to have all the answers or understand completely what it means to be attracted to the same sex, but what we have is God’s Word and what he has/is intending for his people.
- Context
a. Leviticus 18:22 & Leviticus 20:13
i. Sounds harsh but God was setting his people apart from the surrounding nations.
b. There is a great contemporary linguistic debate going on over the origins and proper meaning of arsenokoitai, the Greek word Paul uses in 1 Corinthians 6:9 and 1 Timothy 1:10.
i. Most scholars believe Paul, an educated Jew writing to Gentiles, was reinforcing what was instructed in Leviticus.
c. Both Jesus and Paul make no attempt to nullify ‘man lying with man’. In fact, Christ would take the law even further to express humanity’s need for a savior and the grace that was coming from his death/resurrection (Matthew 5:28).
- My issues with the argument
a. Christians think it is a sin set apart from other sins
b. LGBTQ community argues that because it is how they were born or wired, and its true love how can it be a sin?
i. Born with certain inclinations does not justify the action
ii. Using “love” as justification
iii. Mark 8:34-38
- Not to glorify God as God is in effect, not to glorify him at all…
a. Jeremiah 29:13
b. Psalm 119:97-104
c. 1 John 5:3

- What comes to mind when I hear the word meditate/meditation.
a. Legs crossed, hands folded, diffuser up and running, complete silence, and absence from all distraction. Pursuing inner peace through the clearing of the mind.
- Preface
a. Meditation should be done with your Bible open!
b. For biblical meditation, one must believe the Bible is in fact the inerrant Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17, John 17:17, 1 Thessalonians 2:13).
- Psalm 104:34 (English Standard Version).
a. Siyach – meditation, complaining, musing.
b. Littered throughout the book of Job and Psalms
i. Most use complaint.
-
Eat This Book: A Conversation in the Art of Spiritual Readingby Eugene H. Peterson.
-
Isaiah 31:4
a. Hagah – to moan, growl, utter, muse, mutter, meditate.
b. Joshua 1:8 and littered throughout the Psalms (Psalm 34:8, “Oh taste and see..”)
-
When you take a holistic look at the usage of Hagah/Siyach in the Scriptures, its not pretty. It is rough, its passionate, its in the words of Eugene H. Peterson, “a dog-with-a bone” kind of act.
-
Questions & So What…
a. How does this shift the believer’s perception toward meditation/meditating?
b. Is there too much pressure we as Christians put on ourselves in hopes of cultivating the “perfect” environment to “feel the presence of God”?
