In our podcast discussion with Todd Miles, we delved into the complex topic of marijuana from a Christian perspective. Todd, a theology professor and author of "Cannabis and the Christian: What the Bible Says about Marijuana," highlighted the shift in Christians' approach due to legalisation, urging a deeper reflection guided by biblical principles.Given that the Bible doesn't directly mention marijuana, we explored how Christians can navigate its recreational and medical use. Todd emphasized the importance of understanding cannabis's effects and aligning them with biblical teachings on discipleship, healing, suffering, and human nature.Ultimately, our discussion with Todd Miles provided a thoughtful exploration of marijuana through the lens of Christian faith, encouraging listeners to engage critically and compassionately with this complex issue.Get your copy of 'Cannabis and the Christian: What the Bible Says about Marijuana 'by Todd MilesCONNECT Sunburnt Souls Facebook YouTube PARTNERS Podcast Produced by Pretty Podcasts
We're releasing this episode a few weeks before Advent in order to help youth workers prepare well for Advent and Christmas… I think it goes without saying that it's absolutely essential for us to teach rightly about both the Person and the Work of Jesus Christ. Who is Jesus? Christians confess that Jesus is the Son of God. But what does that mean about his humanity? It's important for youth workers to call students to faith in Jesus, and to lead them into conversations about who (and what) Jesus is… fully God and fully human. This conversation with Dr. Todd Miles will help youth workers proclaim the nature of Christ in a way that teenagers can understand. Discussion Questions: What is Christology, how does good biblical Christology articulate the Person of Christ, and why is it important for teenagers? In your book, Superheroes Can't Save You, you explain some of the major heretical teachings about Christ by using different superheroes as representatives. Could you share a few examples with us… What's at stake when someone accidentally holds to one of these heretical interpretations? Is it really that big of a deal? As you look around today, what are some of the more common Christological heresies that can sneak into our churches without us noticing, and how can youth workers guard against those? As we approach Advent and Christmas, what recommendations do you have for youth workers about teaching the incarnation simply and with theological depth? Todd Miles is a Professor of Theology at Western Seminary and on pastoral staff at Gresham Bible Church, and is the author of some of my most-recommended books for youth pastors - Superheroes Can't Save You: Epic Examples of Historic Heresies, A God of Many Understandings? The Gospel and Theology of Religions, and most recently, Cannabis and the Christian: What the Bible says about Marijuana. Order Todd's books (and read them!)

EP 107 | Leaving Islam for Jesus w/ Al Fadi | Redeeming Truth Al Fadi: From Muslim Jihadist to Christian What does Islam think about Christianity? How did a Muslim jihadist turn to Jesus Christ? In this episode of the Redeeming Truth Podcast, we talk to Al Fadi about his journey from Islam to Christianity. Al Fadi was born and raised in Saudi Arabia. He was a devout Muslim and even considered joining a jihadist group. However, after a series of events, Al Fadi began to question his faith. He eventually came to know the love of Christ and that he could not reject God's Son. Al Fadi's story is a powerful testimony of God's grace and love. It is also a reminder that no one is beyond the reach of God's saving power.

Demetrye Isoldi grew up in a broken home. His mother was verbally, physically and psychologically abusive to him and his sister, and she would sometimes sleep with men in front of them. His biological dad was a rapist and pedophile who spent most of his time in and out of jail, and his brother today is serving three life sentences for murder. But it was the harm done to him by his mother that left the biggest mark. “All she knew was hurt. All she knew was pain. And that's what she gave me,” he said. Recovering from the pain of his childhood and eventually going to seminary inspired Demetrye to write his book “Son of a Whore.” It was in the seminary that he was finally able to leave survival mode, with all its scarcity and insecurities, behind him and embrace the man God wanted him to be. “I wrote that (book) because I wanted to give someone who may have had the same upbringing as me hope to realize that they can survive it, and not only survive but be the father, the husband and the individual that God created them to be,” he said. On this episode of True North Man, Paul and Demetrye talk about forgiveness and becoming the parent you didn’t have. What You’ll Learn How Demetrye’s faith has helped him overcome the scars of his childhood, including fear, insecurity and sex addiction What it means to live a heart-centered life as a Christian What it took for Demetrye to eventually forgive his parents And much more! Favorite Quote: “One of the things that I've really become comfortable with is embracing pain. We're quick to become averse to pain. We resist pain. We're quick to grab onto joy, happiness, all these things, because it feels good… look at Christ. He endured pain. if he hadn’t endured pain, we wouldn't have what we have today. So pain, if we allow it, can be a teacher to teach us something. Instead of avoiding the pain, sometimes you need to sit in that pain to learn whatever it is that we need to learn.” — Demetrye Isoldi Connect With Demetrye: demetryeisoldi.com How To Get Involved: Discover all that Paul Beam has to offer at www.true-north-ministries.com Enjoyed the episode?

Did you know that the most powerful weapon in the universe is at the disposal of every single Christian- What is this power, how is it to be used, and what is the Christian to use it for- Ryan explains in the following message from Matthew 17-14-23 entitled -The Most Powerful Weapon in the Universe.-
A few months ago, one of our most faithful listeners and favorite supporters Tanner Billson asked a question about apologetics and the impassibility of God. It was a difficult dilemma, so Garrick and Timothy headed to the best place in the world to determine how to deal with difficult dilemmas: superhero comics. That’s because, in superhero comics, the world is always about to be destroyed and there’s no hope of saving it, which most people would classify as a rather difficult dilemma, especially for those of us who live on the earth which is a very high percentage of human beings. As Garrick and Timothy read their superhero comics, looking for the answer, it occurred to them that—whenever a dilemma is particularly difficult—there is one thing that almost always happens. Lots of explosions. However, pyrotechnics didn’t seem to be a very good way to answer Tanner’s question. So, they kept reading. Right before Garrick reached the end of his attention span, which typically happens after approximately eight seconds, Garrick and Timothy glimpsed the answer to their dilemma, gleaming gloriously in the darkness just like Bill and Ted’s telephone booth in front of the Circle K. They needed a team-up. That’s right: Like the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy, like DC and Marvel, like Falcon and the Winter Soldier, but not so much like Batman and Superman since they tried to kill each other right before they teamed up, the dynamic duo decided to find some likeminded compatriots and team up with them for a crossover episode. And who better to team up with on a superpowered episode than someone who’s already written a book about superheroes? And so, they called Stan Lee. But, since Stan had already passed away, he was regretfully unable to appear on the podcast. That's when Garrick and Timothy did the next best thing: They called Todd Miles, systematic theologian and acclaimed author of Superheroes Can’t Save You: Epic Examples of Historic Heresies. And so, two years after he first appeared on the podcast, Todd is now back and better than ever. This time, Todd teams up with Garrick and Timothy as cohost of the podcast Food Trucks in Babylon. Which means that he also brings with him another systematic theologian, J. Ryan Lister. The results are nothing short of breathtaking. Except for that one moment when Ryan looked wistfully at Todd and pleaded with him, “Oh, Batman, please let me be your Robin,” this crossover episode turned out to be one of the least awkward episodes of Three Chords and the Truth that your intrepid cohosts have ever produced. Not only did Ryan and Todd answer questions about apologetics and the impassibility of God but they also discussed such pressing questions as how ethics should shape twenty-first century apologetics, what instrument Herman Bavinck would have played if he’d joined his fellow Dutchmen Eddie and Alex Van Halen in a band, and how Pearl Jam can help your prayer life. (Also, "Bavinck" would be the perfect name for a theologically-inclined industrial metal band.) If you listen all the way to the end, you’ll also hear Todd’s personal reflections on the profundity of Christian artist Michael W. Smith’s spiritual gifts.

In this episode, Christian Railsback and co-host Dr. Kimothy Smith one another's virtues and conduct a shallow dive into the molecular machinery, persistence, and epidemiology of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the first of several waterborne pathogens discussed this season. A transcript of the conversation appears below.

Subscribe to our show wherever you get your podcasts and find more info at weebeastiespodcast.com The Wee Beasties podcast is a production of Nephros, Inc., a leading water technology company providing filtration and pathogen detection solutions to the medical and commercial markets. *** SHOW TRANSCRIPT: Christian: I am here with Dr. Kimothy Smith. Kimothy, welcome! Christian: Kimothy, you are currently the Vice President of the Pathogen Detection Systems division at Nephros, but you have a pretty rich history. Can you give our listeners a summary of your professional life and what you're currently working on with Nephros? Kimothy: DVM, PhD, Biodefense, Consulting, Academia/DRI, Nephros, Pathogen Detection in potable water systems. Christian: So, the current technology that Nephros incorporates in its risk management portfolio identifies waterborne pathogens, but there must dozens, possibly hundreds of pathogens to identify? I imagine most people don't know these pathogens by name; maybe they've heard them mentioned, but are likely not acquainted with the specifics -- cellular structure, diseases they cause, target populations which are vulnerable, and recent outbreaks, etc. This series is meant to share information about waterborne pathogens and make otherwise unpalatable information about microorganisms more accessible. Kimothy: Yes, that's right Christian. There is an entire catalog of pathogens and it can get overwhelming quickly. It's difficult to know exactly where to start directing your attention. I thought we might start with pathogens that have been in the headlines as it pertains to outbreaks, but that people aren't screening for or aren't aware is a potential problem at all. Christian: Great; what should we start with? Kimothy: I was thinking Pseudomonas aeruginosa might be a good place to start. Christian: I realize there are other species of Pseudomonas that are important, but, what kind of waterborne pathogen is Pseudomonas aeruginosa and what kind of infection does it cause? Kimothy: This is a gram-negative, opportunistic pathogen, that can infect the blood and lungs and lead to pneumonia. It thrives in moist environments, so soil or water is where it's most commonly found. Christian: I'd like to get to the population of individuals most susceptible to this infection, but before we go there can you give everyone a sense of what type of bug this is at the cellular level? Kimothy: Sure, it's a motile, rod-shaped, gram-negative bacterium. It takes on a blue-green color when grown on a plate and has relatively low nutritional requirements. It can grow anaerobically, which means it does not use oxygen. It also produces a biofilm which combined with its highly adaptive environmental response makes this a fairly resilient bug. Christian: What do you mean by that? Kimothy: Well, the cell can modify itself very quickly to an antimicrobial environment. The cell's ability to modify its DNA (through mutation or from genes from other bacteria) allows it to resist most anti-microbial climates, while less robust microorganisms will die. The bacteria's efficiency in rapid adaptation combined with being able to obfuscate itself in biofilms makes it very difficult to eradicate. It can also provide a home for other microbes to establish themselves and live. This is why we have seen this bug among the more rapidly trending outbreaks when it comes to nosocomial infections. Christian: Okay, so nosocomial infections? These are infections that are acquired in healthcare environments, like hospitals, clinics, or long-term care facilities? Kimothy: That's right. Christian: Okay, so let's come back to my question from earlier – what kind of population of individuals are most susceptible to acquiring Pseudomonas aeruginosa? Kimothy: Well, the bacterium takes advantage of the vulnerable epithelium (i.e. skin). That is, a patient that has degraded, or underdeveloped epithelial tissue is going to be highly susceptible to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Babies in the PICU/NICU, for instance, or burn patients in particular. But anyone with a preexisting acute or chronic respiratory issue is also vulnerable. Ironically, since hospitals are where you find antibiotics and antimicrobial agents, antibacterial-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains find hospitals to be a favorable environment. Medical equipment, such as ventilators or catheters are good locations to harbor Pseudomonas. Christian: I see, so given the persistent and lethal nature of this bug, why are we still seeing it as a problem not being addressed in hospitals and healthcare facilities? For example, we know that if water isn't treated or filtered you can acquire cholera and die, so now we treat or filter the water and don't get sick. Why isn't the same approach taken to address Pseudomonas aeruginosa? Kimothy: Here in the United States, there is not a strict regulatory requirement to test water for pathogens other than for Legionella, so many facilities don't realize they have Pseudomonas aeruginosa in their water supply. Christian: Couldn't facilities just treat or filter the water without screening for it? In other words, isn't it unnecessary to know what's in the water if you implement methods to eliminate nosocomial infections, such as water treatment and filters? Kimothy: I think unfortunately it's slightly more nuanced than what you've described. Just like there is not one or two solutions your physician gives you when you go to the doctor when you're sick, there is no panacea to treat building water networks. Just like a physician, if you want to practice good medicine and develop a sound patient care plan, you need to know what you're dealing with before you start treating. Physicians run blood tests and take images -- x-ray, MRI, etc. We are doing something similar are Nephros. We are taking water samples and testing them using molecular assays and gene sequencing technology. This allows us to have, or give our clients, a clear picture of the building health. Treatment outcomes for the building – filters, UV, chlorine, copper, silver nitrate, etc. – largely depend on what we are diagnosing the problem to be. Christian: So, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, for example, isolated to a burn unit or NICU, may require a more robust remediation strategy for an Infectious Disease staff than say E. coli or addressing certain coliforms? Kimothy: That's right, Christian. And may I add that what we're doing is allowing the screening and diagnosis to occur in the field, on-site, which doesn't confine clients to only using feedback from lab cultures – which can take several days or weeks to get results. Christian: And that's PluraPath you're talking about there, correct? Kimothy: Correct Christian: Alright folks, well that was a nice little overview of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We'll see you next time for our next Pathogen Podcast here at Nephros. Thanks, Kimothy! Kimothy: You bet; thank you, Christian.
Welcome to part 2 of our three part series "UVC 101: Honest Answers To Frequently Asked Questions." This episode tackles tough questions about what it means to be a Christian: What does “being saved” mean? If I'm not sure I believe in God, do I still count as a Christian? Do I still want to be a Christian? Our panel includes Teaching Pastor Hannah Kardon, Church Planting Resident Juan Pablo, and UVC member John Sianghio. Join us every Sunday for online worship on Facebook and YouTube (/uvchurch) at 10:30 am (CST).
What is it like to be a Christian- What does it mean to know God as your God---David answers those questions in a way that invites every believer to enter in and exalt the Lord with him.--He begins with earnest recommendations- taste, see, trust, fear, seek the Lord. He makes a tragic comparison with the young lions, relying on themselves, who lack and suffer hunger. He brings a joyful conclusion, that the Lord, who is good and does good, blesses his people and bestows the richest favours on all who look to him.
What does it really mean to be a Christian? What is the defining attribute that moves someone from being Jesus-affirming to a follower of Jesus? Every Sunday people fill pews and stream content online claiming to be "Christians" but are really Unsaved Christians. People who prayed a sinner's prayer were baptized, read their Bible apps, give money to the church, volunteer at the church, and maybe even teach Bible stories, but are spiritually dead. Not only that, but they miss the joy that comes only from a real, deep, and meaningful relationship with Jesus. Today we look at the one attribute required for salvation and New Life in Jesus by looking at the story of a man who thought he knew but missed it - Simon Magnus.

18 While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 19 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him. 21 And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him. Have you ever played the word association game? Many of you have, but for those of you who haven't the game goes like this: someone gives you a word, and then you are to say the first thing that comes to your mind upon hearing that certain word. If we were to play that game today and I gave you a few words to associate how would you answer? If I were to say food, you might say Pizza. If I said instrument, you may say Guitar. If I said, “movie” what movie would pop into your mind? I may say Batman and you would respond with Robin. If I were to say “Tennessee Vols Football Fan”” you might say, “SAD”…. right???… Many of these would be pretty easy to associate with something else wouldn't they? But what about this one: Christian… What comes to mind when you hear the word “Christian”??? That term has become very vague in how we as a society use it hasn't it?? When speaking of being a Christian people often say things like “I'm Christian because my parents were Christian” or, “I'm a Christian because I'm from the south” Or “I'm a Christian… But I don't care about that church stuff.” “Christians do this” “Christians don't do that” “Someone is a Christian if they pray before their meals” “Someone is NOT a christian if they see an R Rated movie, unless it's the passion of the Christ” It seems as if in our world today it's tough to pin down what we associate with the term “Christian" because we've made it into a ton of things. Did you know that Jesus never used the term “Christian”? The first time we see the term “Christian” used in the scripture is in Acts 11:26 when it says, “26 in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians. “ So, if the followers of Jesus were not known as Christians what were they known as??? The text tells us… The disciples….. Consider this: The word Christian is used only 3 times in the entire bible… The word disciple is used 281 times in the New Testament alone… We see that even though our primary term would be “Christian” The authors of the New Testament, inspired by the Holy Spirit, primary term was “disciple” You may be thinking right now, “so what? Christian, disciple, tomato, tomAto, it's all the same…. Why does it matter if we changed our name from disciple to Christian?” Check out what Andy Stanley says of this when he says, “I want to suggest to you that in changing the primary word that we use to describe ourselves, we lost the clarity that the word disciple conveyed about what a follower of Jesus actually is.” So, if we know that “Christian” can mean a ton of things, what does disciple mean?” When looking at the word disciple in the original language we see that in the simplest of terms it means “learner”… or “follower” I hate to say this, but I believe that in our day and age, a lot of people who call themselves Christians are not actually disciples. Just because our parents went to church, does not make us a disciple. Just because we are from the south, that doesn't make us a disciple. Just because we choose not to watch R-rated movies does not make us a disciple. So, what does? One pastor says that, “Being a disciple is the process of becoming who Jesus would be if he were you.” And I believe that God is calling all of us to be His disciples. From the text here I believe we see 3 realties of being a disciple of Christ: First I believe we see the reality that…….. JESUS DOESN'T CHOOSE THE BEST, HE CHOOSES THE WILLING. 18 While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 19 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Here we see that Jesus is making his first selection of the disciples he's going to build his dream team with. If you were a religious fan back in this day, I can imagine you would have had your predictions of who Jesus was going to pick. Will it be one of the amazing scholars in Egypt? Or will it be one of the great philopshers from Athens? No. No. I know, it has to be one of the most powerful men from Rome… And the religious fans would've waited in anticipation to see who Jesus' first selection would be… Those of you who know me, know that I love sports… Especially, the eight time national champion Kentucky Wildcats. I sometimes become convicted though, that I get more excited about sports then I do about church… So, I started wondering. What would happen if people treated church like they do sports… Check out what Kyle Idleman has to say about this: See if you can imagine this one. People arrive hours early for church. On Sunday mornings, they don't just set a backup alarm on their cell phones to assure they wake up in time —they set a backup for the backup. Throughout the week, they talk about what happened the previous Sunday as excitement builds for the upcoming church service. There are all-day radio talk shows devoted to reviewing last week's service and breaking down the next one. There's even a TV show called “ChurchCenter” that runs highlight clips of church activities that have happened across the nation. When Sunday comes, the people load up their trucks, SUVs, and sedans hours before the service starts. “Hurry,” Dad says frantically. “We're behind again.” “It's 6:00 a.m.” Mom says. “Church doesn't start for five hours.” “Last time we left at this time, we had to park three miles from the sanctuary and sit in the nosebleed seats. Someday, I re- ally want to sit in the front row. But you have to camp out on the church lawn to have any chance of that.” The roads are really congested on the way to church, no matter how early you leave. At church, there are vehicles parked as far as the eye can see. Some members are tailgating, laying out elaborate spreads of barbequed meats on portable grills. Lawn chairs dot the church parking lot. Some people have television monitors and satellite dishes so they can catch updates from other worship services while they wait for their own to begin. Even in the dead of winter, they'll be out here in the same numbers. And once the church doors open, the masses begin fil- ing into the sanctuary, cheering with great passion and excite- ment. As the service starts, the people are all on their feet — not that they ever sit down. A bunch of young guys stand in the front row. None of them wears a shirt, but each one has a letter paint- ed on his chest. Together they spell J-E-S-U-S. After several hours of worship and an extra-long sermon, peo- ple start looking at their watches. Everyone is thinking the same thing: “I hope the service goes into overtime!” Did any of you go to the NFL draft in Nashville this year? They said it was somewhere around 500 thousands people in attendance. People love the draft…. One of the most outstanding draft selections in the history of football came at a very unexpected time in the year 2000. The person walks to the stage to represent the New England Patriots. He takes a deep breathe and says… “With the 199th pick of the 2000 NFL draft, the New England Patriots select… Tom Brady, QB from the university of Michigan…” And everyone looked at each other and said… “WHO!?!?!” Not knowing that he would go on to be the greatest football player of all time. What if there was a disciples draft??? “With the first pick in the very first disciples draft Jesus Christ of Nazareth selects…… Simon Peter & his brother Andrew, fishermen from the city of Capernaum.” And everyone looked at each other and said “WHO?!?!” Fisherman were not on the top of the board of the religious list back in this day. Most likely, they had little education, little spiritual perception, and little to none religious training. It was an unexpected pick… Little did they know, they would be the ones Jesus would use to turn the world upside down. John Macarthur: speaks of this when he says, “God skipped all the wise of the day! The great scholars were in Egypt; the great library was in Alexandria; the great philosophers were in Athens; the powerful were in Rome. He passed over Socrates the great thinker and Julius Caesar. He chose men so ordinary it was comical. No Rabbis, no teachers, no religious experts...” Don't miss what I am about to say: God may not always call the qaulified, but He always qualifies the called…. Paul describes it even better there in 1 Corinthians 1:26 when he says, 26 Consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong.” So, whether it is a lack of education, it's an insecurity you may have, a weary heart, or a sinful past, despite our shortcomings Jesus calls to everyone of us as he did Peter and Andrew and says, “Follow me… Be my disciples….” We see the reality that Jesus doesn't choose the best, He chooses the willing. Not only that, but we also see the reality that…… 2. TO FOLLOW HIM, WE HAVE TO LEAVE ALL. 21 And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him. Notice the two things they left in this passage. The Boat Their Father I think the author wants us to notice something here.. The boat is what the place they were most comfortable. Their father was one of their most significant relationships.. The author is trying to show us that a call to follow Jesus is one where He has to be of utmost importance to you, or it's not gonna work out. We see that Jesus says something similar in Luke 9:57. It says, “57 As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 58 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” In other words, being a disciple means being out of your comfort zone. We're not gonna stay in the boat the entire time. 59 To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 60 And Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” 61 Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” 62 Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.” Again Jesus shows us that we have to love Him above everything and everyone in order to follow Him. One of the most popular teachings on this subject would be when Jesus said in Matthew 10:38, “Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. What do we know about a cross? It's a death instrument. Jesus is saying, if you are not willing to die to yourself daily, then you can't follow me. A call to follow Jesus means dying to anything that would be a hindrance to the work he's called you to. A call to follow Jesus is one that requires anything living within' us that causes us to love something else more than Him, to be put to death. That's why Deitrech Bonnohefer so accurately said, “When Christ calls a man to follow Him, He bids him come and die.” I know what you are prolly thinking… “Wow.. This doesn't sound fun at all to me.” All this talk about dying… I thought that following Jesus meant to have abundant life, not all this talk of dying.. So, which one is it Noah, does being a disciple mean dying or living? Here's the answer: Yes…. Let me expound… Here we see one of the great paradoxes of Jesus. Taking up your cross means dying to yourself. Trading in your earthly desires for the heavenly desires Christ wants to give you. Trading in the lie of trying to be fulfilled by things of the world, and becoming fulfilled by the things of God. It is the process of dying to the flesh, and living by the spirit. Becoming less of who you were before you knew Christ, and more of who He is calling you to be. The Apostle Paul had this same idea when he wrote to the Galatians and said, “20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” I like the way a popular worship song puts it when one of the lyrics say, “I found my life, when I laid it down." A call to follow Jesus means that we are to leave all. We are to love Him and seek after His will more than anything else in our lives… When it comes to being a disciple, not only do we see the reality that Jesus doesn't choose the best, he chooses the willing; not only do we see the reality that he calls us to leave all, but lastly we see the reality that…. 3. HE COMMANDS US TO SPIRITUALLY REPRODUCE. 19 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Jesus says, if you follow me, I will MAKE you fishers of men.. Not, “If you do this bible study, or you memorize this gospel presentation, then I'll make you fishers of men.” NO! In this text there's a command, and a result… The command: Follow Jesus. The result: become a fisher of men. Spiritually reproducing is not just something that a disciple does, spiritually reproducing is the main factor of who a disciple is… Have any of you heard of the Ennegram thing going around? It's basically like a personality test.. Like, a 7 is this. And if your result is a 4 then that means that you like this, but you don't like this… I don't know… I have to get my students to explain it to me… But, Jesus gives us a bit of a similar personality test in John 15:8.. “By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and prove to be my disciples.” How do you prove you are a disciple? By bearing fruit. And if you are not bearing fruit, you have reason to question whether you are a disciple at all. Jesus tells His disciples how to bear fruit in His famous Great Commission: Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” In his book, The Master Plan of Evangelism, Robert Coleman said: “When will the church learn this lesson? Preaching to the masses, although necessary, will never suffice in the work of preparing leaders for evangelism. Nor can occasional prayer meetings and training classes for Christian workers do this job... Individual women and men are God's method. God's plan for discipleship is not something, but someone.” Church, when it comes to making disciples, WE ARE PLAN A, AND THERE IS NO PLAN B. That's why we are happy to share with you guys this morning that we are launching what is called the “Who's Your One” campaign. We are encouraging every member of the church to identify one person whom they know that is spiritually seeking or lost, and commit to praying for that person, and taking the initiative in being the first piece of the puzzle that could help that person come to know Christ… Now, if you have been in church for a while, you may have heard of or been apart of something like this before. So, you may be wondering, what all this will entail. If it will be like the evangelistic campaign you did this time, or that time. I believe the best way I can explain what this campaign is, is to first tell you what it is not. 1. Who's Your One will not be motivated by guilt. Far too many times in the church culture we see a lot of these evangelist efforts driven by something of the effect “If you really love Jesus, you'll go knock on this door, hand them this gospel track, give this presentation” Who's Your One is not that… 2. Who's Your One will not simply be a leverage point for us to brag of our evangelist success. Will we be excited about people coming to Jesus? Yes! Will we be doing it all so that we can show everyone how amazing we are? No! We will do everything for the glory of God, and not ours. 3. Who's Your One will not be a process in which we turn people into projects… We will not approach people who do not know Jesus and turn them into our own little project that the church has us working on… Rather, we will love that person as Jesus would love them, and show them that we want them to know Christ because we love them, not simply because we are involved with a churches evangelist campaign. Through Who'sYourOne, I believe that God is going to show us that He is calling all of us to be His disciples. And we can jump into this season with confidence because we know that even though we may not be the best by the world's standard, God loves to use those who are weak to shame the strong. We know that if we follow Him and love Him above all else, he will in return give us a life that will truly satisfy and fulfill all we could ever long for. And by knowing these things, and believing them, we know that He will use as His disciples, to make disciples, all for the glory of His name.
It seems to me that commonplace things like gender and sex have been upended. But, that was not where this relativistic use of terms began. Many terms have turned into "what they mean to me," rather than what they actually mean. This makes for a confusing dialogue. Today, I'd like to see how we can come to agreement on the meaning of words and what that would do for our society. "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." -William Shakespeare "Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far to [audio src="https://conversationofourgeneration.files.wordpress.com/2020/03/08c6c-a-rose-by-any-other-name.mp3"][/audio]better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity." -Carl Jung Liberal and Conservative: These words have become tied to parties that are rarely aligned with what these mean. Now, it is true that there are plenty of liberals in the Democrat Party and conservatives in the Republican Party. However, the words liberal and conservative have lost their meaning by being tied to a party that does not hold to what the words actually mean. Capitalism and Socialism: The systems we think of as Capitalist and Socialist are rarely a truly pure system. Furthermore, they are often misunderstood entirely. Capitalism is not the banks running the government through a reserve system. Socialism isn't just sharing. They have definitions, and understanding these would drive down animus a lot. Christian: What it means to be a Christian, like any other faith, is to believe certain things. Now, it seems that thinking Jesus was a cool dude, who maybe existed, qualifies one as Christian. There can be differences among Christians, but there are essential Truths that must be there to be a Christian faith. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/conofourgen/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/conofourgen/support
