When the trucks moved out of Ottawa in 2022, our public discourse changed. Grievance politics thrived, and our political parties adapted.Supporters of the convoy splintered into different groups. They became very politically engaged in causes like the 1 Million March for Children, the Save the Children Convoy, Canadians for Truth and even a grassroots lobby group - Take Back Alberta. As the organizers' trials reach their end, we look at the movement's lingering effects. Where are the members now? Do they represent a significant part of the country? How do we address this fundamental change in discourse? To find out, Mattea Roach asked David Fraser, a CBC Ottawa reporter who's been covering the convoy for years, and David Moscrop, a political scientist and columnist based in Ottawa.Host: Mattea RoachCredits: Aviva Lessard (Producer), Sam Konnert (Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), André Proulx (Production Coordinator), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Guests: David Moscrop, David FraserBackground reading:What is the ‘Save the Children Convoy' and What Do They Really Believe? - Press ProgressAnti-LGBTQ+ ‘Million Man Marches' Are Being Held Across Canada.

Discipline, Rebuke, and Godly Counsellors Thank you… and thank you to David Fraser for bringing God's Word last week. Always a blessing. You'll see there is a second insert in the bulletin beside the hymn sheet. On the front is a chart of the themes in Proverbs that we'll be covering this winter and spring. Last fall, we worked through Solomon's 12 wisdom lessons to his son, which are found in chapters 1-9. But in Proverbs, once you get to chapter 10, there's a change from focused lessons, to wisdom nuggets. And so rather than work through chapters 10-31 sequentially, we'll be working through different wisdom categories. Besides the themes listed on the first page, you can also see the number of verses in each theme. Let me note that most of the verses in Proverbs 10-31 are organized in poetic couplets. They start with a statement and then are followed by either a contrast, or a comparison, or an affirmation. For example here's one for today: “Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed.” You can hear the two sides of the couplet. That brings us to our focus today. We'll be considering the theme of rebuke, discipline, and counsellors. In a few minutes I'll explain why we're beginning there. If you would turn to the inside of the insert. You'll note the initial 5 verses are from Proverbs 22. If you want to read those from your Bibles, you can do that. In the pew Bible, you'll find them on page 645. For the rest, I'll be reading from the insert. As we come to God's Word, know that this is the inspired and authoritative word of the Living God. Please stand as we give reverence.Proverbs 22:17-21Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my knowledge,for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips.That your trust may be in the LORD, I have made them known to you today, even to you.Have I not written for you thirty sayings of counsel and knowledge, to make you know what is right and true, that you may give a true answer to those who sent you? 10:17 Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life, but he who rejects reproof leads others astray.11:14 Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.12:1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid.13:1 A wise son hears his father's instruction, but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.13:18 Poverty and disgrace come to him who ignores instruction, but whoever heeds reproof is honored.13:24 Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.15:5 A fool despises his father's instruction, but whoever heeds reproof is prudent.15:10 There is severe discipline for him who forsakes the way; whoever hates reproof will die.15:12 A scoffer does not like to be reproved; he will not go to the wise.15:22 Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed.15:31 The ear that listens to life-giving reproof will dwell among the wise.15:32 Whoever ignores instruction despises himself, but he who listens to reproof gains intelligence.17:10 A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred blows into a fool.18:1 Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.19:20 Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future.19:25 Strike a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; reprove a man of understanding, and he will gain knowledge.19:27 Cease to hear instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge.20:30 Blows that wound cleanse away evil; strokes make clean the innermost parts.23:12 Apply your heart to instruction and your ear to words of knowledge.23:19 Hear, my son, and be wise, and direct your heart in the way.23:23 Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.25:12 Like a gold ring or an ornament of gold is a wise reprover to a listening ear.25:28 A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.27:5 Better is open rebuke than hidden love.27:9 Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.27:23-24 Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds, for riches do not last forever; and does a crown endure to all generations?29:1 He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck, will suddenly be broken beyond healing.29:18-19 Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law.By mere words a servant is not disciplined, for though he understands, he will not respond.29:21 Whoever pampers his servant from childhood will in the end find him his heir.Prayer Several years ago, I was at a co-worker's home for a company event. And I remember at one point he asked his 8-year-old daughter to help with something. And she responded, “You're not the boss of me!” My jaw dropped. But my co-worker, without missing a beat, said to his daughter, “Oh yes, I am.” And he took her aside and lovingly rebuked her, explaining his responsibility over her and her responsibility to him. That was the first time I had heard that phrase. I thought, where did that come from? Was it a refrain in a hit song? Or some movie line? But after some research, I found that it's a phrase that's been around for decades. And then I realized, that independent-minded, self-autonomous idea has been around since the garden… since the moment that man rejected the authority of God. In fact, it's in every single one of us. It's intrinsic to our fallen nature. We don't want others to tell us what to do. We don't want to be told we're wrong. Or that we're hypocritical or selfish or prideful. Instead, when we're told one of those things, our natural reaction is to be defensive or dismissive or to lash out at the one who said it. “You're not the boss of me!” It's in my heart. As much as I want to believe I can receive rebuke, I can tell you my knee-jerk reaction is often denial or dismissal. So, why begin here? Why begin this section of Proverbs with these verses on rebuke and discipline? Well, turn back to the front of the Proverbs insert. This book will be getting into your business. To be sure, every text of Scripture deals with us in some way. Our beliefs, our faith, our sin … but you can't read Proverbs without being confronted with the state of your heart, with the inconsistency of your life, with your words, and your actions, and your relationships. And the question is, will you receive this word? When we get to the verses on integrity (you see that in the list), will you examine yourself? When we get to the verses on honoring your parents, will you resent it? What about anger and justice and greed? Will you dismiss these words? What about sloth? Will you justify the hours you spend watching and talking about SEC or ACC football or playing video games or watching the Hallmark channel? I see some of you getting a little nervous. Now, to be sure, the opening 9 chapters did speak to our hearts and words and actions. Some of them were very pointed, but these chapters cover a much broader application. You see what I'm saying? Being willing to apply each of these themes to your life begins with being willing to listen, and being willing to be rebuked by God's Word. Committing yourself to godly change. In other words, studying these Proverbs needs to begin with a heart receptive to reproof. Really, it begins with having the heart of Christ. We'll be coming back to that, of course. So, we're beginning here because we need to begin here. We need to allow other people to speak God's Word deep into our lives. We need to humbly desire that. And when we do, God will be more glorified in our lives. We will be conformed more and more to the image of Christ. And we will be able to walk alongside one another on the rocky path of life. Before we continue, I want to revisit King Solomon and his son. We talked plenty about Solomon last fall. God spoke through him to give us this wisdom. And at the time, three thousand years ago, Solomon was renowned. He was known all throughout the world for the wisdom God had given to him. But do you remember this… Sadly, he turned away from the one true God and began worshiping foreign Gods. In other words, he did not keep the wisdom that God had given him. And also sadly, it was similar for Solomon's son, Rehoboam. The first 9 chapters of Proverbs were written explicitly to him. Solomon penned these words for Rehoboam, his first-born son, heir to the throne. But Rehoboam witnessed his father's decline. As we read earlier in the service in 1 Kings 11 and 12, Rehoboam witnessed the increased burden that his father inflicted on the people. And after Solomon passed away, Rehoboam had a choice to make. Would he listen? Would he listen to the wisdom of God through what his father had written? Would he listen to the counsel of the older men who said to him, “serve the people and speak good words to them.” No, he wouldn't. We know the path that Rehoboam took. He essentially said, “you're not the boss of me.” He rejected God's wisdom. He increased the burden on the people, and it led to tragic results - the splitting of the kingdom. Besides the impact on his own life and reign, it also led to 350 years of struggle in Judah until Babylon overthrew the nation. Much of it can be traced back to Rehoboam's decision not to listen to wisdom. Now, you may remember, we came across the idea listening to wisdom all throughout the opening chapters. But I want to point out something out. The emphasis in these verses today is more than just listening to wisdom that you may stay on the path of wisdom. No, it's also heeding wisdom to bring you back to the path. Let me note a few words that are repeated over and over, and then I'll define them. · First look at verse 13:1. You'll see the words “instruction” and “rebuke.” “A wise son hears his father's instruction, but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.” That word instruction is used 9 times in these verses. The word “rebuke” is used 3 times. · Next the words “reproof” and “discipline.” Look down at verse 15:10. “There is severe discipline for him who forsakes the way; whoever hates reproof will die.” The word “reproof” or “reprove” is used 11 times in these verses, and the word “discipline” is found 4 times. Here's the continuum. · Instruction is conveying God's truth and righteousness. Remember, wisdom has a moral component to it. We see that all throughout the Proverbs. That's instruction. · Next rebuke. The Hebrew word for rebuke means a verbal correction. It's telling someone that what they believe or what they are saying or doing does not conform to God's law or his Word. Rebuke does not have an associated punishment with it other than the weight of the verbal correction. · But the words discipline and reproof do. In fact, they are very similar in the Hebrew. Reproof is instruction or rebuke plus some kind of just penalty or direction. In English, we think of rebuke as more pointed than reproof. But in the Hebrew, reproof is more intense and includes consequences. · And last, the word discipline is similar. Discipline is a path of correction. It may include making amends for something or it may include a punishment for something said or done. · So, instruction, rebuke, reproof, and discipline. All of it is to help the one receiving the correction. The point is to bring one back to what God has ordained as good, right, and true. In other words, rebuke and discipline are intended to restore and not push away. Hopefully that clarifies the words here. With that said, let me give you 3 principles from these verses. By the way, they all start with the word love. 1. Love instruction, rebuke, and discipline. 2. Love and listen to godly counsel And the last one… 3. Love others by rebuking and disciplining them Now, we are not going to end there. After considering these three principles, we'll consider some underlying assumptions which lead us to the Gospel. But let's spend the next few minutes on these principles. 1. Love instruction, rebuke, and discipline Again, number 1: Love instruction, rebuke, and discipline. Our heart disposition should be to desire these things. And we are called to not just receive or tolerate correction and reproof, but to seek them out. And I know, that is really difficult. I remember one of the times that I had asked Amy out on a date. She initially said yes, but later, she called me back and said no. I hung up the phone and in frustration, I kicked over one of my roommates dining room chairs. And he looked at me and he said “you have any anger problem.” That was rebuke. How do you think I took that? Let me highlight some of the verses here: · Look at 12:1 – “Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid.” Isn't there something raw about the Proverbs. · Consider 17:10 – “A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred blows into a fool.” If you have the wisdom of God in Christ, you will not only want to receive rebuke, but you will desire a heart change when you receive it. A fool, on the other hand, dismisses rebuke. · There are of course, several other verses here which are similar. Amy shared on our podcast a story about one of her College professors. He was talking about this very thing. And he said, when people come to him with feedback or a rebuke, here's what he says to them: “Thank you so much. But let me tell you, you don't know the half of it!” Instead of being defensive, he acknowledged that he did need correction – even beyond what the person was addressing. May we all have that mindset. Now, before we move on to the second principle, let me note a couple of negative examples: · Look at 15:12 “A scoffer does not like to be reproved; he will not go to the wise.” We've come across that word before. A scoffer is someone who mocks truth and righteousness. · And then one last example from 29:1 “He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck, will suddenly be broken beyond healing.” Here's what we do. We deny the loving correction from our parents or our spouse or friend or from another brother or sister in Christ, and instead, we set our mind against them. We reject their loving reproof and become angry. That's what it means to stiffen your neck. And that breaks relationships. It causes disunity and turns something that should have been good for us into something that breaks us. But beloved, this is not God will for you. No. Rather (and here's the principal again) we're called to love instruction, rebuke, and discipline. As hard as it is to do that, we're to have an open heart, listening to what God is speaking to us, through others. 2. Love and listen to godly counsel Principle number 2. Love and listen to godly counsel. Each of us has been or will be faced with important decisions in life. Should I marry this person? Should I move to this place? Should I take this job or go to this school? How do you decide? Well, part of your decision should be to seek advice from godly counsellors. · Look back down at chapter 15. This time verse 22. “Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed.” That's a well-known Proverb. · Jump down to 18:1 “Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.” If you isolate yourself, you will miss out on the godly wisdom of others. Others can help you see things you wouldn't have considered or thought. · And one more: 27:9 “Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.” A true friend give you loving and wise counsel. Ok for the kids. The older you get, the more decisions you will have to make in life. And what's so important is that you seek out godly advice… from your parents or perhaps others in the church who can direct you to God's Word in those decision. And part of it is listening to and evaluating that advice. I want you to remember that as you get older. Again, the principle: Love and listen to godly counsel. 3. Love others by rebuking and disciplining them That brings us to the last principal… number 3. Love others by rebuking and disciplining them. Honestly, I think this may be the hardest one for us. Some of us are people-pleasers. The Bible calls this the fear of man. Because of that, we tend to shy away from being honest with our family and friends. We worry about pointing out things in their lives that are contrary to God's Word. But others of us may be too comfortable with expressing criticism and rebuke. These verses direct us that love requires reproving and disciplining others, but from a position of humility. Think about this: If the call here is to receive rebuke, it means that we should also lovingly give rebuke. Again, lovingly. Let me highlight a couple of verses. · First, 19:25 “Strike a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; reprove a man of understanding, and he will gain knowledge.” That verse gives us the full scope from a scoffer to a man of understanding. In other words, we all need to rebuke and be rebuked. · Or consider 20:30 “Blows that wound cleanse away evil; strokes make clean the innermost parts.” That is, blows from a friend. Now, I'm not saying we should go around pointing fingers. “Do you know what your problem is? Well, I do” I am also not saying that children should discipline their parents. There's more to be said of course, about discipline and the structure of the family and church. But what I am saying is that we should have the mindset of being a community committed to one another. And part of loving one another is being willing to speak truth and righteousness to one another lovingly. Several years ago, I observed a friend of mine in the church struggling with a prideful attitude in a particular area of his life. So, I went to him, and I asked if we could get together for coffee for the purpose of sharing some feedback. He was willing to receive it. And so, we sat down. I said, “you know, I want to share this because I would want you to do the same for me.” Then, I explained what I thought the Scriptures taught in that area. I read them and then I gave him some examples that I observed in his life. Now, he didn't agree with everything. And that's ok. But there were things that I think were helpful for him to hear. I'm not the Holy Spirit, but I did feel my responsibility was to communicate those things. And we still occasionally talk or see each other. What I'm saying is that rebuking doesn't have to be painful – especially when we lovingly give it, and we lovingly receive it. Ok, let me make one last comment on this principle. The most famous Proverb in this whole batch is 13:24 “Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.” Parents, part of training your child up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord is discipline. Now, we can have a healthy conversation about how to discipline – there are different ways, but discipline is necessary. Every single one of us was born selfish. Parents know this. And disciplining children begins early. When your child talks back, or lashes out at a sibling, or is defiant in some ways, then that child needs to be disciplined. That could be a punishment, or it could be directing a child to practice righteousness or make something right. One time when I was in grade school, my parents made me write an apology letter for something I did… and I had to go over to the person's house, give it to them, and ask for forgiveness. I was mortified, but you better believe it made an impression. And children, because your parents have a responsibility to discipline you, you likewise have a responsibility to receive that discipline. That's difficult, isn't it. Your parents probably tell you this, but it's true “I'm disciplining you because I love you.” They are training you in righteousness. The more you respond to God's discipline now, the greater blessing that will result later in life. I know that's easy to say, but hard to do. Conclusion Ok, to recap: 1. Love instruction, rebuke, and discipline 2. Love and listen to godly counsel and 3. Love others by rebuking and disciplining them. Now, we cannot conclude here. Hopefully it's been ingrained in you from last fall that Proverbs is not a book of morality. Yes, it directs us to live a life honoring to God and receiving the blessing of living out his law. It certainly points us to that. But Proverbs fits in the broader narrative of Scripture by revealing faith. The beginning of chapter 3 was so clear that this book fits into the covenant framework of God promises fulfilled in Christ. And remember, where does wisdom begin? The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom – fear is the reverent faith that comes with knowing God in Christ. We've seen over and over how these chapters are fulfilled in Christ. He's the greater Solmon. He's the creator of all things, chapter 8. He's the faithful husband despite his wayward wife, the church, chapters 5, 6, and 7. So let me conclude by telling you how these verses fit into the narrative of the redemption found in Christ alone. · First, these verses presuppose sin. We can't read them without a recognition of our fallen nature. We need reproof. We need discipline because our hearts have gone astray, and we need to be called back. · Second, these verse point to a standard that is outside of us. God has established righteousness and truth. It's who he is. And the contrast to that is foolishness and wickedness. In other words, to be called to give and receive rebuke presupposes a standard upon which that rebuke is based. We can't read any of the Proverbs without this recognition. · Number 3, rebuke, reproof, and discipline are part of the call to repentance. Part of faith in God, is repenting of our wayward beliefs and life… and turning to the one true God who receives us. And remember, God receives us not because of our righteousness, but because of Christ's righteousness. · And that brings us to a final consideration. The call to respond to these verses is not so that God may save us. No. Instead, we respond by faith for what God has done for us in Christ. In other words, we can respond because of what Christ has done on the cross. By his grace and through his Spirit, we can receive rebuke. In closing, we still have a long way to go through Proverbs. But let's be reminded that it's not in our strength that we seek to be rebuked or disciplined but rather it's through the Holy Spirit in us. He enables us to pursue God, His Word, and receive correction. As we read from Hebrews 12 earlier, God disciplines his children. As painful as it may be at times, it testifies to God's work through Christ in you and me. May we receive God's love and discipline through others from his word out of hearts desiring to conform to Christ. Amen

The "thumbs up" is one of the most popular emojis in the world, but you've got to be careful with that thing. A court in Saskatchewan recently found a company liable for more than $80,000 in damages after they failed to deliver 86 tonnes of flaxseed — something it had agreed to by sending a text with the emoji. Mainstreet's Alex Mason called David Fraser, a Halifax internet and privacy lawyer, to get his reaction.

Romans 6:12-22Slaves to RighteousnessRev. Erik Veerman6/25/2023 A big thank you to David Fraser for preaching last week. Aren't we always blessed by his rich insights into the Gospel of Mark?A couple of weeks ago we started a summer sermon series in the book of Romans chapters 6 and 7. That will be our focus for the next 5 weeks. These are two chapters where the apostle Paul answers the question, “should we sin because we'll get more grace?” And as we considered two weeks ago, the emphatic answer is, “heaven forbid!” And he goes on to answer why.The reason we started with the first 11 verses are their emphasis on knowing. If you remember, that word “know” is used three times in those opening verses. Well, as we get to these next 11 verses it shifts to two things. • First, action. Over and over we're called to respond. As I read, listen for the word “present” as in “present yourself.” That's one emphasis, our responsibility. • But second, there's also an emphasis on something done to us. We've received action from God. Also listen for the phrase “have become” or “have been” as in “have been set free.”Those two ideas are interwoven throughout these verses. Our responsibility as a result of what God has done for us in Christ.Reading Romans 6:12-22 (Page 1120)PrayerI bought a lemon tree this week. It's too small right now to produce lemons, so I made some paper lemons so you can imagine it. This lemon tree is called a Meyer Lemon tree. The root system is not the original root system for this small tree. No, this stem with its branches had been cut off from its own roots and grafted into a new root structure. And as you can see, it's alive! One of the reasons for grafting fruit trees into new root stock is that it helps protect the fruit tree from disease and it gives it strength and durability in different environments.In the first 11 verses of Romans 6, we learned how believers in Christ have been grafted into him. The language used in verse 5 is “united.” We've been united to Christ. And let me say, it's one of the most theologically beautiful concepts in the whole of the Bible. Believers in Christ are united to him in a mysterious way. If you know and believe in Christ as your Savior, you have been grafted into him like this lemon tree has been grafted into a new root system. It's through that union that you receive the benefits of Jesus' death and resurrection. Through his death, you've died to your sin and its consequences, and through his resurrection you have assured hope beyond the grave.That's what the first 11 verses reveal - the great truth of your union with Christ; that your old self died with him and your new self is alive in him. Christ is now the source of your strength. All the nutrients and blessings of Christ are flowing through you because you are in him and he is in you.So, with that truth, the rest of this chapter now turns to the consequences of your union with Christ.And when you think about it, it's profound! Knowing that when you came to Christ as Lord and Savior, the change in your life was more than just setting your mind and heart on God. You became one with him, as a branch that has been grafted into the vine. The Holy Spirit united you to him. Even though we can't comprehend how that union that happens, it's true, andd it has deep implications for how we live our lives. And that's what this second half of chapter 6 focuses on.Two points. [CHECK: They are on the back of your bulletin.] I also included some of the related verses that go with each.1. First, You've been freed from your slavery to sin. (Romans 6:14, 17, 18, 20, 22)2. Second, Therefore, live as slaves to righteousness (Romans 6:12, 13, 16, 19, 21)You've been freed from your slavery to sin. Therefore, live as slaves to righteousness.1. You've been freed from your slavery to sin (Romans 6:14, 17, 18, 20, 22)Another way to describe point #1 is your status. You are freed. Or another word: redeemed. Or rescued. Or delivered. It's not something that you've accomplished yourself, rather, it's something that God has accomplished on your behalf.Look down at verse 14. This is right after that apostle Paul says you are to be an “instrument for righteousness.” We're going to come back to that in point 2. But look at what he says in verse 14. “For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.” Do you see how this is a statement of your status? Sin “will not have dominion over you.” “will not.” It's referring to the fact that because of your union with Christ, sin is no longer in control. And let me define sin again. Sin is when you break God's commands in what you think, say, or do… or in what you don't think, or don't say, or don't do.In other words, sin used to be in control of your life, but since you are in Christ, sin is no longer in control. The end of verse 14 further explains. “You are not under law but under grace.” If Christ is your Lord and Savior, your status is no longer condemned by God's law, but rather your status is redeemed by God's grace. Grace is God's free and underserved gift of salvation.Imagine chains tied to your arms and legs and secured to the wall of a prison cell. That's an image of your old self under the power of sin. You were bound by it.I was thinking of Les Mis this week. I've used this illustration before but there's an angle that connects really well with Romans 6. Jean Valjean is the protagonist. And the story starts out with Valjean in prison. We learn he had stolen bread to feed his sister's family.And his punishment is forced labor for years and years. He's consigned to grueling work in the galley and quarry. The guards constantly driving the prisoners like cattle. There's no escaping. That's like our old self, bound by sin, slaves of sin. But something happens to Jean Valjean when he's release. As a former prisoner, he was considered tainted and unworthy of being hired or helped. He had nowhere to go. But a bishop takes him in and feeds him. Despite that, in Valjean's desperation, he steals the bishop's silver utensils. Well, soon after he left, he's arrested and brought back to the bishop. But in an overwhelming display of grace, the bishop gives Valjean his silver candlesticks as well. Had the bishop spoken up, Valjean would have been condemned to live out his days as a slave. But instead, he's shown favor and love. And that grace changed him. In the musical, the Bishop sings to Valjean, “I have bought your soul for God.” A little bit later, Valjean responds that this man offers me freedom. And he concludes that out of the whirlpool of my sin, a new story must begin.Romans 6 over and over declares that your old self had been a slave to sin, or a slave to lawlessness and impurity. But, Christ bought your soul for God. You have been set free by him. That's the language here. Verses 17 and 18 and 20 and 22. You've been set free. It's a passive action that has happened to you. You see, you didn't set yourself free. You didn't break the power of sin. No, God has done that for you. It says, “you have been set free.”This language of slavery and freedom is Paul illustrating your union with Christ. He's using a metaphor. He says that right there in verse 19. “I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations.” In other word, “I'm using this life example because this is a difficult concept to understand.” You see, in the Roman Empire in the first century, indentured servitude was very common. Paul's audience would have been very familiar with slavery. A slave was forced to obey his master. And furthermore, the terms of the slavery and freedom were not in the control of the slave. I think we all get that. The metaphor teaches that before you were united to Christ, you were bound by sin to death (verse 16). Your branch was not grafted into the life-giving source of Christ, but rather it was bound to your former self. Your old root system was dead in your sin. There was nothing you could do to come alive. But God made you alive in Christ. You were cut from that old dead root and grafted into Christ into his life-giving root structure.The summary of point #1 is this. Sin no longer has dominion over you. God has given you his grace in Christ. You've been freed from your slavery to sin through your union with Christ. It's God's work, not your work. It's grace because you didn't deserve to be freed, but God has freed you.2. Therefore, live as slaves to righteousness (Romans 6:12, 13, 16, 19, 21)That brings us to point number 2. Therefore, live as slaves to righteousness.The implication of the grace that we have in Christ is to live, not as slaves to sin, but instead as slaves to righteousness.You probably noticed that the question in verse 15 is virtually the same question as in verse 1. “Are we to sin because we are not under the law but under grace?” And his answer is the same, “by no means!”To put the answer in another way. Since God gave you his underserved grace by freeing you from sin, then why would you want to continue to be in sin?Sometimes we call this misunderstanding “cheap grace.” The idea that because God is so gracious, we don't need to worry about how we live. We can willfully continue to sin knowing that God will forgive us. That's cheap grace.Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German pastor who opposed the Nazi regime, wrote these words:“Cheap grace is the grace we bestow on ourselves. Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, communion without confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, [and] grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.” In fact, I don't think we can even call it cheap grace. It totally misunderstands the purpose of grace.Bonhoeffer then writes about true grace which he calls costly grace. “Costly grace ... is the kingly rule of Christ, for whose sake a man will pluck out the eye which causes him to stumble… it is the call of Jesus Christ at which the disciple leaves his nets and follows him.”You see, the true grace of God causes us to pursue righteousness.To put it in another way, as a response to God's work in us, uniting us to Christ, we are therefore enabled and called to pursue him and his righteousness.That idea is captured in the language of verses 12 and 13 and 19. In verse 12, Paul writes, “Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions.” Your ears, your eyes, your mouth, your hands… each part of your body is directed by your mind and heart. God is saying in Romans 6 that as new creations in Christ, pursue the righteousness of God and not the sinful passions of your heart which are worked on in your mind, and mouth, and hands, etc.That word “present,” as you heard, is used multiple times in these verses.• Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, • but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life“Present” meaning “to offer” or “to give yourselves in service to.” So it's saying, because God has grafted you into Christ, so now give yourself in service to him and his righteousness. • If you look down at verse 19, its similar. “Just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity… • so now present your members as slaves to righteousness”There's that language again of slavery. This time, not a slave to sin, but as a slave to righteousness. The beautiful think about Jean Valjean's life is how he changed. After Valjean received that undeserved grace, he dedicated his life to helping and showing grace to others. He started a business that provided for many his town. He cared for Cosette, acting as her father after Cosette's mother passed away. He rescued Marius from the drama of the French Revolution, carrying him through the sewers of Paris to freedom. Yet the whole time he was being pursued by Javert, the inspector seeking to throw Valjean back into prison and slavery. But Valjean was a new man, with a new freedom, enslaved by grace. The ultimate picture of this was when the revolutionaries captured Javert, they planned to kill him, but Jean Valjean spared Javert's life. Valjean had the opportunity to take revenge on the man who had hunted him through the years. But instead, Valjean returned the grace given to him so long ago. He was now a slave to righteousness.His heart had been changed and there was a new master to serve.There's a word at the end of verse 19 that really captures the theological heart of our response. It says, “present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.” Sanctification is God's ongoing work in us. If you will, conforming us more and more, each day, to Christ. Sanctification is also a work of grace. But we have an active part in that. Our responsibility is to respond to the Holy Spirit's work in us through our union with Christ. That is sanctification. And look at verse 22. It continues that emphasis on God's sanctifying grace in our lives. It says, “But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification...”I love that phrase there. “The fruit you get.” It does not say “your fruit.” Imagine that you are this lemon tree, and you are growing yummy lemons. The thing is, you have a new root system. The nutrients that are causing those lemons to grow are flowing through you and in you to produce those lemons.You see, it's God working in you through your union with Christ that produces the fruit in your life.For a long time, I misunderstood this idea of fruit in the Christian life. When people would ask if I was displaying fruit, I would always think of things external to me. Like, are people coming to faith, am I seeing others grow in discipleship. But I came to realize that the fruit of the Christian life is an internal thing. It is God working in you. Galatians 5 captures it well, “the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.”Let me put it this way, bearing fruit is allowing God to work his sanctification in you. Now, you can constrict it. Imagine you are a branch, and you say, “I don't want fruit, I'm going to cut off the flow of nutrients to my branches.” But what will happen? Well, your leaves are also going to turn brown. And that's going to lead to a branch that is in poor spiritual health. But that's not what we're called to!Let me read our two points again and then summarize.#1 You've been freed from your slavery to sin. #2 Therefore, live as slaves to righteousness.What I'm saying is that God has taken you from death to life. Because he now lives in you, you can now live in his righteousness. It's still God working in you. It's God's fruit. Don't believe that it's you who are producing the fruit. But you are responsible to present yourselves to God in obedience. That's what it means to live as slaves to God and his righteousness.ConclusionNow, I think it's important for me to answer the how question. In other words, how do we do this? Where do we start? Where do we go to fulfill this call to live as slaves to righteousness?Well, part of the answer is right in verse 17. “But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart” (and here's the answer), “to the standard of teaching to which you were committed.” When God unites you to Christ, you become obedient from the heart (from within) to what? “to the standard of teaching to which you were committed.” It's saying, we go to God's Word. God commits us to it. In other words, he brings us to his standard of righteousness which is his Word. So, we read the Bible, we seek to know it, to understand it, and to apply it in our lives. And through that endeavor, God will produce that fruit which leads to sanctification.Now, every single one of us struggles with certain temptations and sin. The journey of sanctification is not an easy one. For example, addictions are very difficult to overcome. It takes prayer and outside help and the body of Christ supporting you. Also, the impact of past situations and broken relationships and grief is hard to navigate as we seek to pursue righteousness. The apostle Paul is not saying that the journey is easy. In fact, in the next chapter, he's going to be very clear about his struggles and how he looks to God's grace.But how do we take steps forward? Well, I want you to think about one or two areas of sin in your life. Is it sexual temptations that you act upon in your heart or mind or in pornography or adultery? Or is it anger or anxiety or covetousness? Or are there cultural idols that are distracting you from God – the love of money or you reputation or your appearance? What is it?Now let's apply Romans 6 to that sin. If you are a believer in Christ, you are united to him. And that gives you three things that will both challenge you and help you. • First, when you sin, or to use the words here, “when you present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness.” When you do that, you are sinning against Christ. Remember, he is in you. Actually, this is helpful to think about that when you are tempted… remembering that Christ is in you and you in him.• Second, and related to that. Because you are united to Christ, you can draw on the deep nutrients of his righteousness in your life. You can allow his fruit to develop in your life as you grow in sanctification. So, go to him with your sin. Go to his Word. Seek his righteousness which in you.• And third, because you are united to Christ, you have his grace… the grace of Jesus death and resurrection. I want you to hear me if you are struggling right now. God's grace should not be used to justify your sin. But that does not mean that God's grace is not sufficient for when you do sin. It is. Through your union with Christ, you are assured that you have been brought from death to life for eternity.As we close, you probably noticed - I did not include verse 23 this morning. Romans 6:23 is one of those well know verses in the Bible. So, we're going to consider it next week. And of course, it very much connects to the rest of chapter.To wrap up. If you know God in Christ. If you have professed faith in him, repenting of your sin, then you have been freed from your slavery to sin. In that new life, united to Christ, your call is to live no longer as a slave to sin, but as a slave to righteousness. If that's you, allow God to work his fruit in you, the fruit of sanctification.But if you do not know God in Christ. You need him. You need to be united to him by faith, you need him to free you from your slavery to sin. And you need to instead be his servant. He is a loving, gracious Lord to who will free you forever.
Former governor general David Johnston — now serving as a special rapporteur — says a public inquiry into foreign interference in Canadian elections would not satisfy the public, because so much of the material is classified and can't be shared. Will the decision to reject a public inquiry on foreign interference in Canadian elections darken the cloud of mistrust, or help clear it? On this episode, David Fraser, a reporter with the Canadian Press, details what Johnston is recommending instead of an inquiry.

As a rule I don't discuss PR agency's values on the show. They are for staff and should stay on slides or post-its. But when I heard this story of how one ‘agency value' resulted in a team helping to evacuate 54 orphans from Ukraine, I broke that rule and dedicated a whole episode to it! I interview David Fraser, the Founder & Managing Director of Ready10, who are a consumer agency, best known for creative digital PR for the likes of McDonald's, Paddy Power, Flora and Brewdog. However it's the launch of their for-good arm ‘Ready to Help' that we cover and specifically their (no-fee) project with Save a Child and Magen David Adom, that saw them helping to evacuate a group of children from Ukraine. David shares the full account of how one phone call turned into the most complex but rewarding project the agency had worked on How the whole team (with other clients understanding) pulled together to help Save a Child and Magen David Adom How David's past crisis management experience came into play And importantly whether it was a success and how the children are now David also reveals how the agency survived COVID, didn't accept UK government furlough grants, paid bonuses and managed to carry out this amazing project on zero budget. This story is an inspiration. Special Guest: David Fraser.

Best Pick with Tom Salinsky and guests Anthony Asbury, Sue Dacre, Nigel Plaskitt and Robert Tygner Episode 223: Mean Green Mother From Outer Space Released 29 June 2022 For this episode, we took a deep dive into the creation of one scene in the movie Little Shop of Horrors. The movie was directed by Frank Oz, adapted by Howard Ashman from his off-Broadway play, with music by Alan Menken. In the climactic scene, the malevolent flesh-eating plant Audrey II has grown to 12 feet high and poor benighted Seymour Krelborn (Rick Moranis) is engaged in a battle to the death. Thus begins the song “Mean Green Mother From Outer Space” which was nominated for an Oscar. Every aspect of Audrey II was brought to life on set with a vast team of puppeteers working behind (and very often underneath) the scenes. You can hear how this all worked from plant performers Anthony Asbury, Sue Dacre, Nigel Plaskitt and Robert Tygner.
