Because Christ redeemed us, we must honor God with our spirits and our bodies.1. Christian liberty is important, but does not override the deeper fact that your body is both designed and redeemed for the Lord, not for immorality. (v.12-15)2. Immorality must be avoided with great effort and concern. (v.16-18)3. Your body is not yours to use however you choose. At the cross, your body and spirit were bought, making you a temple for The Holy Spirit! (v.19-20)Why is it important how we use our bodies?What are the parameters of Christian liberty? Rom. 14:15-23How far does it extend that the two become one? Gen. 2:24Who owns your body and why? 1 Peter 1:18-19

16And when he had taken him down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the land, eating and drinking and dancing, because of all the great spoil they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah. 17And David struck them down from twilight until the evening of the next day, and not a man of them escaped, except four hundred young men, who mounted camels and fled. 18David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives. 19Nothing was missing, whether small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything that had been taken. David brought back all. 20David also captured all the flocks and herds, and the people drove the livestock before him,c and said, “This is David's spoil.” 21Then David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow David, and who had been left at the brook Besor. And they went out to meet David and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near to the people he greeted them. 22Then all the wicked and worthless fellows among the men who had gone with David said, “Because they did not go with us, we will not give them any of the spoil that we have recovered, except that each man may lead away his wife and children, and depart.” 23But David said, “You shall not do so, my brothers, with what the LORD has given us. He has preserved us and given into our hand the band that came against us. 24Who would listen to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down into the battle, so shall his share be who stays by the baggage. They shall share alike.” 25And he made it a statute and a rule for Israel from that day forward to this day. 26When David came to Ziklag, he sent part of the spoil to his friends, the elders of Judah, saying, “Here is a present for you from the spoil of the enemies of the LORD.” 27It was for those in Bethel, in Ramoth of the Negeb, in Jattir, 28in Aroer, in Siphmoth, in Eshtemoa, 29in Racal, in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, in the cities of the Kenites, 30in Hormah, in Bor-ashan, in Athach, 31in Hebron, for all the places where David and his men had roamed.

In this episode Saso and Ben talk about the issue of forgiving one another because we've been forgiven so much.Forgiveness does not mean “bro, now you owe me a solid”. Forgiveness means the debt is canceled and now you no longer have a hook, the debtor does not owe anything. It's like paying the bill for your food at the restaurant. Once it's paid you don't owe anything else, there fore nothing else should be expected by the restaurant.The Lord's prayer speaking of forgiveness and an example of how we should pray for others who sin against usMatthew 6:12-15Colossians 3:13How often should we forgive?Matthew 18:21-22Examples of Forgiveness in Scripture Joseph - Genesis 50:19Stephen - Acts 7:59-60Simon Peter - Luke 24:34Jesus Christ - Luke 23:34The new covenant with the house of Israel and house of JudahHebrews 8:11-12John 8:3-11Forgiveness is a commandEphesians 4:30-32Since forgiveness is a command, we must willfully make the decision to obey God and forgive others.Forgivness is conditionalMatthew 6:14Also, the prerequisite to biblically forgiving others is to be forgiven. If you've not placed your faith in Christ, if you've not been born again as spoken of in John 3, then you are incapable of forgiving others as commanded in scripture.What about forgive and forget?This is a common question among Christians. We can't selectively choose what we want to forget. In fact there are many things stored in our brains that we'd like to delete but it's just not possible. Unfortunately there are things we do forget but we don't willfully forget them because it's impossible for us to forget things on demand.The bible never tells us to forget, however, the Bible tells us to be prudent.Proverbs 22:3Forgiveness and trust are two different things. Forgiveness means that you've released the person from any type of repayment or retribution. However, that means that the dynamics of the relationship may and will likely change until trust is regained which can take time and honestly, trust may never be regained.We are not instructed to forget but we are instructed to love and pray for enemies.Matthew 5:44Romans 12:18Consequences of unforgivenessThe bad thing about unforgiveness is that it leads to other sins like anger, jealousy, bitterness, and hate. Just think what the United States of America would be like if we just forgave each other. What would our world be like if forgiveness was a priority?The parable of the unmerciful servantMatthew 18:22-23What prevented the servant from forgiving his fellow servant? Pride and greed! And what was the consequence?Matthew 18:35Why is there a need for forgiveness?Romans 5:8Who are we to not forgive? After all I've been forgiven so much.Romans 6:23 Romans 5:12 Romans 6:23Psalm 51:5Forgiveness available for all of us2 Corinthians 5:21Prodigal SonLuke 15:18-24Who do you need to forgive?

Exodus 32: 21-24Who's fault is it when we sin? Who do we typically blame? Do we accept it is our fault and try to improve or do we blame it on some outside source and then play the victim? Is this passage we see an example of someone trying to dodge responsibility, so let's break it down and see what we can learn.

What is your disorder? *Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)At what age did your disorder become a daily issue? *24Who were you before your illness became debilitating? *I was a trained Barrister (lawyer), I was lecturing in Law and became Head of Law at a college. I was happy, content with life, in love with a gorgeous Armed Forces man, just bought our 1st house and we were looking at planning a familyWhat would you do if you were not dealing with your invisible illness? *I would have continued my legal career as a Barrister in Family lawWhat would you like people to know about your daily life? *I am now confined to a wheelchair and am an above knee amputee due to the CRPS. I live in extreme burning and freezing excessive pain every day and suffer from wild temperature issues, swollen stumps as well as suffering from tremors and spasms on a daily basis. It’s so difficult and simple tasks such as getting dressed can take so long to do. I have to be careful what clothes I wear as they have to be light due to the hypersensitivity of both my remaining stumps. But I have the fantastic support of my husband. I also founded a charity - Burning Nights CRPS Support in the U.K. which I run along with 6 other volunteers.What would make living and moving in the world easier for you? *Finding a cure for CRPS to get rid of the stabbing, burning pain and other signs and symptoms. Also Better access to buildings, shops, bars etc for wheelchairsDo you have any life hacks? *Using your iPhone to control the heating. Get a doorbell that comes through to your phone to tell the person where to leave the parcel or the doorbell that comes through to the iPhone and you press a button on your phone that opens the door. Learn to adapt clothes for your disability or use safety pins to help keep clothes stay shut! I’ve had to adapt clothes so they don’t get trapped in my wheelchair for example.What kind of support do you get from family or friends? *I get amazing support from my husband and sometimes from my family. I couldn’t do without my husband as he is my full-time carerWould you care to relate the details of what happened when someone didn't believe you were disabled?I was told that I couldn’t be in this much pain as I looked too well.

It’s been tough but I love him.Is there anything you are afraid to tell even the people closest to you? *When I’m feeling low and depressed I don’t like telling my husband and Family because I feel I’m burdening them. I always try not to tell them how much pain I’m in. I always say I’m fine.Does the fact that your disease is invisible change how healthcare professionals treat you? *YesWhat is your best coping mechanism? *Distraction techniques - definitelyWhat are you the most fearful of and hopeful for in the future? *I would like to hope that the condition would get either a specific medication or cure. However, I’m fearful that it won’t happen. I also hope that my condition does not worsen at any time in the futureWhat is your favorite swear word?ShitIs there anything you want to make sure we talk about during the interview?

Click to See Francis' Blog QuestionsWhat is your disorder? *CFS (and PCOS) Please read Frances' blog post about CFS at her blog Fancy Like That and follow all of her social media I spent close to stalker-like hours on her Pinterest page.At what age did your disorder become a daily issue? *24Who were you before your illness became debilitating? *I was a quote-unquote 'normal' twenty-something with a lot of plansWhat would you do if you were not dealing with your invisible illness? *I would probably be working hard on my career and I would spend most of my spare time painting and be decorating our new house (instead of directing my partner to do it from the sofa...)What would you like people to know about your daily life? *Although it may seem like fun and games to be permanently having a sick day, it gets boring fast... especially when you don't always even have the brain capacity to do things like binge-watch great TV shows and read books that have been on your to-read pile forever. I'm currently working on a programme with my CFS clinic to raise my energy levels and while that is working it also means I have to take 15-minute breaks every half hour, no matter what, and I think that can be difficult for people to understand too.What would make living and moving in the world easier for you? *More energy! Ha. But seriously... since diving (slash being dunked) into the world of invisible illnesses I think the biggest thing that would make a difference for me is just more understanding - by doctors and the general public - of invisible illnesses and of how to talk to the people dealing with them.Do you have any life hacks? *Join a Facebook group! I wasn't sold on going to the support group my doctor found because of the travel and general energy usage it would involve, but I've felt a lot less alone since finding so many places online where I can talk to other people who have the same issues as me and actually understand what I mean when I say I'm having a bad day etc. I'm also really into bullet journaling at the moment - it's a great creative outlet for me (although it doesn't have to be decorative to work!) and I find it so helpful to have everything laid out in ways that make sense to me.What kind of support do you get from family or friends? *I'm incredibly lucky to have a bunch of amazingly supporting friends and family and my boyfriend, who I live with. The best kind of support is when people say that they've read up on your illness or ask questions that show they're really trying to understand. Having said that, I also really value the friends I have who don't bring it up at all unless I do - sometimes you need to be taken out of the chronic illness bubble and gossip about so-and-so's latest Instagram post or whatever and forget about everything for a while.Have you ever had someone not believe you have an invisible illness because of your appearance? *Not yet... and touch wood never. I've had people say to me that I look 'better' or 'well', but in context, they generally mean in comparison to when they last saw me (usually this only happens when I bother to put makeup on and/or do something with my hair other than my now-signature pineapple bun)Has this been a positive or negative experience? *It doesn't make me feel great, but I know that they mean well - I just need to work out a way to tell them that I'd rather not hear it without being rude!How has your invisible illness affected your relationships? *I've definitely had to change the way that I think about certain relationships. I'm usually someone who takes on the 'Organiser' role in friendship groups, and I've had to tell myself to step back from that because I know that logistics and things are going to drain my energy. And in my relationship with my boyfriend, I have to work hard not to feel like we've gone from equal partners to carer and patient sometimes, especially on my worse days when he not only has to go to work while I stay home, but also comes home and does all of the cooking and cleaning, plus looks after all of our pets. And when he goes away - on holiday with his friends, or for work - if it's for more than a couple of days I have to have my parents come to stay with me or go to them because it's too much to try and keep myself and the house going on my own for too long. I think for me the key is talking about that kind of stuff with the people involved and reminding myself constantly that they're doing it because they love me and not because they think I'm incapable. With my boyfriend, we've recently started having set-aside 'date nights' in the week, which is something I always thought was a bit cheesy before, but now it's good for us as a time to really spend time as a couple.Is there anything you are afraid to tell even the people closest to you? *Sometimes I'll try to hide how bad I'm feeling - emotionally and/or physically - but I'm trying to avoid doing that... it always comes out anyway, and it's not good for me to bottle things up!Does the fact that your disease is invisible change how healthcare professionals treat you? *Yes and no. I'm in a weird place where CFS/ME is sort of 'in vogue' at the moment - there have been a few features about it on the news and radio recently in the UK, so my doctors are keen for me to understand that they understand. However, I do find it difficult sometimes to go to appointments alone, especially when my brain fog is particularly active, and I've had difficulty in the pat conveying that to doctors.What is your best coping mechanism? *Humour, usually of the gallows variety, and listening to podcasts - usually about true crime.What are you the most fearful of and hopeful for in the future? *I'm hopeful that I'll find a way to manage my symptoms and that I can turn this whole period of my life into something positive and productive. I'm fearful of having a relapse into worse symptoms, and of my loved ones getting bored of my limitations.What is your favorite swear word?Fuck (ideally followed by 'you', 'it', or 'off')Is there anything you want to make sure we talk about during the interview?

I had always defined myself by my achievements — KarinaI have made choice of not doing just one or even two posts of a diagnosis (you might remember my interview). The reason is that each of us have a different experiance with our disorders and I want to show how wildly different stories can be even when they live under the same diagnosis. OK, off my soap box I have you really enjoy hear from Karina and hearing about her journey. You will learn so much from pain medication guilt, medical, marijuana, the niaviete before chronic illness, and I learned so much about socialized medicine in Germany and the differences with the ACA.What is your disorder? *Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and comorbid conditions (spinal instabilities, mast cell activation, small fiber neuropathy, dysautonomia and others) - 15 diagnoses by now.At what age did your disorder become a daily issue? *24Who were you before your illness became debilitating? *I would say that I was really naive. I thought nothing could ever hurt me. In 2009, I just started my career as a lab technician, moved into my first apartment, and everything was just fine. I was self-confident and a perfectionist. Moreover, I had a 5-year-plan that included marrying, building a house, working for doctors without borders, adopting a child, and many more. Playing volleyball and other sports were my life - I was super competitive and ambitious, which I still am, but in a different way, and other areas.What would you do if you were not dealing with your invisible illness? *There is a lot I would do if I were not sick! For example, traveling around the world (parts of the world are just not accessible for me anymore), dancing, bungee jumping, weird sports I cannot do anymore, building up a lab in Africa, learning how to sail, hiking the pacific crest trail. Anyway, I would want to have the knowledge that I gained due to my illness with, because only now can I really appreciate all those things I had when I was healthy.What would you like people to know about your daily life? *…that I try very hard to be the best friend I can be. …that I feel horrible every time I have to say the words," I am sorry, I have to cancel." …that there is no such thing as a good day. There are better or worse days, but no more good ones. …that every day brings new challenges. …that even the smallest thing, such as taking a shower, can cause major symptoms. …that even though I might not be working a full-time job, I still am not sitting on my couch and stare holes into the wall. And if I do, it is not my choice, and absolutely not because I am lazy, but because it is the only way to get through the day. …that having a doctors appointment is pretty dramatic for me sometimes, because I made so many bad experiences, but still need my doctors. …that work that is not paid is still valuable and important. …that I do my best to achieve my goals, but the goals are sometimes maybe as simple as getting out of bed in the morning. …that I do not need any special treatment. I do not expect anything, and I do not set rules how I want to be treated. I do not feel offended by things like "I pray for you" or "Get better soon“. While I am not very religious, and most likely will not get better, I appreciate any good wish and thought.What would make living and moving in the world easier for you? *People that are more tolerant. Let me tell you a story. A couple of weeks ago, I went grocery shopping with my husband on a Sunday, like we always do. I cannot go by myself, because we do not own a car, so someone has to carry 30 pounds of groceries home. Going shopping is kind of a huge activity for me. By the time we finished, we had to take the metro home. It is only two stops, so I managed to stand during the whole time. I was wearing my neck brace, and that was the only obvious sign of my disability. A man standing next to me looked confused to me a couple of times until he said, "Hey, that must hurt, do you want me to ask someone here to get up?" He was pointing at the disability seats that were already taken. I was super surprised because nobody ever asked me anything like this in San Francisco. Usually, if I sit on those seats reserved for people with disabilities, people tend to give me bad looks when I do not get up for an old lady. But this time someone else asked me if I needed to sit down. If all people were like this guy, my life would be a lot easier. I was moved to tears by his gesture.Do you have any life hacks? *What I love most is my Aspen neck brace and my memory foam seat cushion. I am not going anywhere without those two. The latter one literally saves my ass. Other than that, I am sleeping with a u-shaped pregnancy pillow that supports all my joints. I like shoes that go over my ankles, to give me additional support when walking. Pants that sit tight help with proprioception, and compression stockings work well for dysautonomia and stability too. I use other braces for almost all of my joints; and a backpack with support around my hips, so not all the weight is on my back.What kind of support do you get from family or friends? *Luckily, I only lost a couple of important people. The majority is still with me. Some friends could not really deal with the "new“ me, and one relationship did not survive my changes. Becoming a butterfly that grows out of a rope is a huge transition, and some loved ones could take it better than others. To be fair, I was not easy to handle - especially in the beginning (2010). I had no idea who I was anymore, so how could other people know? My family and friends support me physically, for example drive me to appointments since I cannot drive by myself; they pick me up if we want to have a coffee together; and they also support me mentally if I had a bad appointment or just a very shitty day.Would you care to relate the details of what happened when someone didn't believe you were disabled?That is pretty typical. People tend to judge quickly based on appearance. Not sure why, because every one of us knows how to smile even if we do not feel like smiling. It is not so hard to see below this surface of "I am ok," and to recognize how the person really feels. But that would take some effort, and many people just do not want to get to know the real "me". It affected me in a very negative way. Sometimes I would not go outside even though I had a better day, because I worried that I would meet people that could assume that I am healthy. I felt like I was proving them right if I left my house and enjoyed the day. At some point I understood that this was just stupid. People assume whatever they want, and they will judge you anyway. It is a waste of your good moments if you do not go out and live your life when you can.How has your invisible illness affected your relationships? *I do not think that the invisibility of my condition in particular affected my relationship. My husband is very supportive and my ex broke up with me because we both could not handle my disease during that time. I do not think that anyone close to me has a problem with the invisibility of my illnesses. They know exactly how I feel as soon as they look into my eyes. It is mainly people I do not know that act weird around me. But of course being chronically ill affects any relationship. There are always things to consider, even for the smallest activity, and there is always a problem.Is there anything you are afraid to tell even the people closest to you? *I am somehow afraid to tell them that I feel very alone sometimes. They would feel as if I just told them they did not try hard enough to be there for me, but that is not it. The problem is more that, even though everyone is there for me, some days just suck so much that I just feel completely alone on this planet. Also, I am scared like hell to be all alone at some point of my illness, because I really do not know how to survive without the physical support of my family and friends. Another thing I should not even think, and of course not say, is that I am jealous of some of their perfect lives. Of course, they deserve to be happy, and I hate myself for feeling this way occasionally. But sometimes it just hurts to see how my friends can have families and normal lives.What is your best coping mechanism? *Writing! Whether I only write for myself, for example in a diary, or in public, I write every minute I feel ok.
