Called to HOLINESS #2 We must seek a level of holiness that brings the Glory of God into our lives. Discuss what is Holiness: Holiness is not: Being perfect, never sinning, never being tempted to sin its: To be different Set apart To fulfill His purpose To live our lives in a way that reflects God's glory John 1:14(Amp) – And the word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honour, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favour, loving-kindness) and truth.   Ephesians 1:4 (NIV) - For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love    Glory of God is prioritizing His honor, beauty, and magnificence above all else in your life. It involves aligning your actions, words, and thoughts with His will and purpose, ultimately reflecting His character and demonstrating His love and power to the world. It means choosing to glorify Goid in all you do, rather than seeking personal glory or recognition. This might involve saying no to opportunities that would bring you praise but not glorify God.   John 5:44 - How is it possible for you to believe [how can you learn to believe], you who [are content to seek and] receive praise and honor and glory from one another, and yet do not seek the praise and honor and glory which come from Him Who alone is God? This is a Crossroad scripture - Start good, end bad   Galatians 3:2-3 - “I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?   For so many Christians: They display a spirituality to impress man – compromising your values and principles to fit in with the ungodly. Seeking honor and recognition from others – wanting validation from man. Living to appear righteous As long as you are being patted, recognized, praised and fussed about and the honor and glory is flowing then… you are a happy Christian. Can one honestly say you are walking near to God when your motivation is the praise of man?   Here's a clear sign: We know we are relating correctly to God when our hunger for His glory makes us forsake the praise of man. Greek for Glory is “Doxa”:  Glory is: to please – to be of a good reputation – to give honor – full of grace – love – kindness and truth Hebrew for Glory is “Kavod”.  To show much splendor [prag, praal]. “A life of Holiness” is seeking to please God and seek His Glory.    John 5:44 – how is it possible for you to believe, when you thrive on being recognized and praised by one another. Jesus said it – Luke 16:15 -“He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God's sight. Who are you really trying to impress? When we truly desire a life of holiness – seeking God, no one will have to tell us to be humble, to convince us of our old natures – Colossians 3:2-7 - 2 Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. 3 For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 And when Christ, who is your[a] life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory. 5 So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don't be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. 6 Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming. 7 You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world.   Holiness comes from seeking His Glory - here's the promise:   If you take time to meet with God, you will meet Him Jeremiah 29:13 (Amp) - “Then you will seek me, enquire for, and require me (as a vital necessity) and find me when you search for me with all your heart.” Psalm 27:8(Amp) – you have said, seek my face (enquire for and require my presence as your vital need) my heart says to you your face (your presence) Lord will I seek. As you touch Him, something will come alive in you.  Your life will become significant. You'll become effective in all you do and say. People will be drawn to Jesus because of you. We are talking about “Called to Holiness”. The sad thing is many Christians have NO higher goal, NO greater aspiration than to live a normal in-effective, fairly boring Christian life. 1 Corinthians 3:3 – Paul rebuked the church in Corinth because they walked “LIKE mere man”. (A holy life is a set apart life) He asks – where is the holiness – difference?. Listen – God has so much more for us than just becoming better people. Romans 8:11 – He wants to flood our lives with the same power that raised Christ from the dead. If we are going to be Holy, we must break away from desiring just an average life. We must seek a level of Holiness that brings the Glory of God into our lives. Jonathan Edwards – 18th century revivalist: ”Grace is but glory begun, and glory is but grace perfected.” The means to holiness is grace.  Holiness is a product of grace. You may be thinking, I'll never achieve this teaching in my condition.  Then you have only heard half the message. Grace is in the heart of all Gods' truth.  Truth without grace is only half-true. John 1:17 - Grace and truth are in JESUS. For while the law was given through Moses, grace (unearned, undeserved favor and spiritual blessing) and truth came through Jesus Christ. What God's truth demands, His grace will provide. Romans 6:22 – But now since you have been set free from sin and have become the slaves of God, you have your present reward in Holiness and its end is eternal life. “Holiness is a lifestyle” Seeking to walk close to the Glory of God.  Holiness is doing all within one's power to become more like Jesus. 2 Corinthians 3:18(Amp) – And all of us, as with unveiled face [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from on degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.  

Send us a textWhat legacy will you leave behind when you're gone? The question haunts us all in quiet moments, but we typically frame it in terms of material possessions—property, money, heirlooms. Today's exploration upends that notion completely, inviting us to consider that the most profound inheritance may not be tangible at all.Drawing from powerful scriptural foundations in Genesis, Psalms, and Proverbs, we uncover how biblical figures like Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, and Daniel weren't primarily beneficiaries of material inheritance. Rather, they received something far more enduring—a spiritual legacy, a blessing, a covenant relationship with God that transformed not just their lives but generations that followed. "A righteous man leaves an inheritance to his children's children," Proverbs tells us, but what is that inheritance exactly?The answer comes through a remarkable historical comparison between Jonathan Edwards and Max Jukes—contemporaries born in the early 1700s who left dramatically different imprints on the world. Edwards, the renowned theologian whose descendants included 100+ lawyers, multiple senators, governors, college presidents, and even a U.S. Vice President, versus Jukes, whose family line produced hundreds of premature deaths, imprisoned individuals, and societal burdens costing millions. Their contrasting legacies offer a profound lesson: "Your biology cannot stand your spirituality." The spiritual DNA we pass down often proves more influential than genetic inheritance.This truth challenges us all. What are we preparing to leave behind? A force of blessing that empowers generations, or patterns that perpetuate struggle? As the poem concludes: "Legacy is not left behind, it's passed on voice to mind. Choose your seed, choose your soil, choose your sun. The story is told when life is done."

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“I believe that the whole universe, heaven and earth, air and seas, and the divine constitution and history of the holy Scriptures, be full of images of divine things, as full as a language is of words; and that the multitude of those things that I have mentioned are but a very small part of what is really intended to be signified and typified by these things: but that there is room for persons to be learning more and more of this language and seeing more of that which is declared in it to the end of the world without discovering all.”~Jonathan Edwards, Typological Writings “For each man spoke well in proportion to the share he had of the seed of the Word, seeing what was related to it….Whatever things were rightly said among all peoples are the property of us Christians….For all the writers were able to see realities darkly through the sowing of the implanted word that was in them.”~Justin Martyr, Second Apology “I see things behind things behind things.”~Bon Iver, SABLE, fABLE SERMON PASSAGEHebrews 8:1-13 (ESV) 1 Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, 2 a minister in the holy places, in the true tent that the Lord set up, not man. 3 For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; thus it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. 4 Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law. 5 They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things. For when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, “See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.” 6 But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second. 8 For he finds fault with them when he says:  “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord,    when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel    and with the house of Judah, 9 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers    on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt.    For they did not continue in my covenant,    and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel    after those days, declares the Lord:    I will put my laws into their minds,    and write them on their hearts,    and I will be their God,    and they shall be my people. 11 And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor    and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,'    for they shall all know me,    from the least of them to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,    and I will remember their sins no more.” 13 In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

El sacramento de la Santa Cena, también llamado la Mesa del Señor, es uno de los momentos más sagrados y profundos en la vida de la iglesia cristiana. Instituido por nuestro Señor Jesucristo la noche en que fue entregado, este sacramento no es una simple ceremonia simbólica ni una tradición vacía, sino un medio de gracia por el cual Cristo mismo se nos da espiritualmente para fortalecernos en la fe.La advertencia apostólica: “Por tanto, pruébese cada uno a sí mismo, y coma así del pan, y beba de la copa” (1 Corintios 11:28), no es un llamado al legalismo o al perfeccionismo, sino a una reflexión reverente y evangélica. Por ello, urge responder con claridad: ¿qué significa participar “dignamente”? ¿Qué nos hace dignos de participar de la Mesa del Señor?¿QUÉ NOS HACE “DIGNOS” DE PARTICIPAR DE LA MESA DEL SEÑOR?1. No nuestros méritos, sino nuestras carenciasContrario a la lógica del mundo, en la Mesa del Señor no se honra al fuerte, al exitoso o al justo, sino al necesitado, al humilde y al pecador arrepentido. No nos acercamos como quienes merecen un premio, sino como mendigos que extienden la mano para recibir misericordia.Como afirma el Catecismo de Heidelberg: “¿Quién debe venir a la Mesa del Señor? Aquel que está descontento consigo mismo por sus pecados, pero confía que estos le son perdonados por Dios por causa de Cristo” (Pregunta 81).2. No nuestra justicia, sino nuestra necesidad de perdónSomos "dignos" no por la ausencia de pecado, sino por la conciencia profunda de nuestro pecado y la fe viva en el perdón de Dios. Tal como los pobres son dignos de compasión y los enfermos de cuidados, los pecadores contritos son dignos del consuelo de Cristo.Jonathan Edwards lo expresó así: “Los sacramentos no son premios para los santos, sino alimentos para los hambrientos”. Participar indignamente es hacerlo con arrogancia o hipocresía, no con necesidad.3. Nuestra condición de miserables nos lleva a la mesa, no para exaltarnos, sino para humillarnosLa dignidad del creyente en la Cena no nace de sí mismo, sino de la dignidad de Cristo. Somos como el leproso que clama: “Si quieres, puedes limpiarme” (Marcos 1:40). No venimos con la frente en alto, sino con el rostro en tierra, como el publicano que se golpeaba el pecho diciendo: “Dios, ten misericordia de mí, pecador” (Lucas 18:13).Y he aquí el misterio glorioso: Dios no desprecia al corazón quebrantado. Cristo no vino a llamar a justos, sino a pecadores al arrepentimiento (Lucas 5:32). Entonces, la gloria, la alabanza y el mérito pertenecen enteramente a Él. Nuestra dignidad es la gracia de Cristo aplicada a indignos.

A new MP3 sermon from Grace Audio Treasures is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: The most loathsome spectacle that ever was set before our eyes!

Your comments are welcome! Send a text my way!Without question, Jonathan Edwards is the greatest pastor/theologian in American history, and certainly one of the greatest in church history. Many, when they think of Edwards, believe he was no more than a "hellfire and brimstone preacher" because of his sermon, "Sinners In the Hands of an Angry God" that they read while in high school or college. Nothing could be further from the truth on this matter. Edwards could preach on heaven, the Christian life, salvation, love (as seen in his "Charity and Its Fruits" sermon series, along with many other topics of faith just as well as he preached on eternal punishment. This episode of 2Days Denarius gives the listener a glimpse of another side of Edwards that is often ignored. How he could preach about Christ, forgiveness of sin, and salvation in the two devotionals in this podcast with a gentle but total focus on the truth about God's forgiveness for the greatest of sinners will give great encouragement to the lost and those who are saved as well. This is great listening! And may help listeners with a new desire to explore other works by Edwards that are readily available to this day. In addition, this podcast includes Jonathan Edwards own personal testimony about how he came to faith in Christ in the beginning of this podcast. There is a special bonus at the end of this podcast too! Information for this podcast were used under the Fair Use Act of 1976 for commentary and education purposes.

The hymn we study this weekend was written by Timothy Dwight, a Reformed pastor and teacher at the time of the founding of our country. He was the grandson of revivalist, Jonathan Edwards, and a scholar by his own right. He was known by George Washington, and the President of Yale University.  This is the only hymn that we have by Dwight in our hymnal, and sadly, some of the greater verses have been dropped out of other hymnals to make in more palatable to modern sensitivities (notably verses 3 and 6). It is found in the "Communion of Saints" section of our hymnal and is full of Biblical imagery for the church. The church, or the communion of saints, all believers, is referred to as "her" based on the picture of the church as the Bride of Christ (Ephesians 5). The hymn is a reminder that every Christian is a part of the whole of God's church. We are connected, not only to God, but also to one another. Because of this we join together in prayer and praise and encourage and support one another with our prayers as well as support. It is also through the visible church that the LORD imparts His gifts to His people through the "blest communion" and the Word by which God make rich promises to us of forgiveness and life, and in response we make promises to Him to be faithful to Him and in our use of His gifts. We dare not abuse His altar either by neglect or by aggression against Him or His people.  The hymn points us to Jesus as our Redeemer, as True God, our Savior and the victory He has secured for us over our enemies. So we declare His word of Truth in confidence of His return on the Last Day and our joyful reunion with Him and all His people for eternity! Isaiah says “The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever” (Isaiah 40:8). As sure as we are that God's Word of Truth will last, we can also be certain that the church will finally inherit the eternal life Jesus came to win.  Join us this weekend as join together with our fellow believers to rejoice in God's gift of the CHURCH, both the fellowship that we have with Him through His Word and Sacraments, and the fellowship that He had created between believers united in faith and confession. What great blessings are ours! May the LORD bless your hymns of praise and thanksgiving to the True God this weekend!

Luke 13: 6-9NOTE: The reference to fear and pride at 16:01-16:46 is from Jonathan Edwards teaching on true virtue, cited by Timothy Keller. I've mentioned it many times, but forgot to cite it in this sermon:“The gospel destroys both the pride and the fearfulness that fuel moralistic behavior change. The gospel destroys pride, because it tells us we are so lost that Jesus had to die for us. And it also destroys fearfulness, because it tells us that nothing we can do will exhaust his love for us.”― Timothy Keller, Center Church: Doing Balanced, Gospel-Centered Ministry in Your City⁠

How do Christians pray when we aren't sure God is going to answer positively what we pray for? That is the heart of the discussion this week between Dr. John Snyder and Hugh Morrison, pastor and HeartCry missionary in Canada. As Hugh says in the podcast, our role in prayer is to ask; God's role is to answer. So how do we ask? We bring questions God has told us to ask. He has told us to pray for the salvation of loved ones. He has told us to pray for the healing of the sick. He has told us to pray for sanctification and holiness. And he has told us to pray for all of those things without doubting. But when it comes to praying for healing or for the salvation of a loved one, how do we persevere when we doubt? We begin by confessing the doubt to God and giving it up to him. As Hugh later said during one of his sermons at Christ Church New Albany, we reject what we see as reality and replace it with God's reality. This is not an easy task to accomplish. But it is one that God has obligated himself to help his children do. So cry out to him for help, and he will, like a loving father, walk alongside you and help you pray to him.

In one sense, prayer is the simplest thing for a Christian. It is simply a child going to his father and talking. But it is also mysterious because it is a relational transaction between our soul and the only uncreated being in the universe. We can have communion with the Redeemer of our souls. We can walk into the presence of almighty God to have his attention. Hugh Morrison, you may remember his talk to church leaders a few weeks ago, is on the podcast this week to discuss the labor of prayer with Dr. John Snyder. This will be a three-episode series with this opening discussion focused on the necessity of meeting with God in prayer. Because prayer is seldom studied, it is often seen as something to do as part of our morning devotion, part of a worship service, part of eating a meal. But prayer is much more. Prayer should be the heartbeat, the breathing of a Christian. It is a thread through which nearness and communion with God is woven into our lives. So how can we have the prayer life we yearn for? How can we perform that work of praying to God? One help is to read all that Scripture has to say about the issue. A secondary help is to find someone you know who practices prayer. A third help, particularly if you do not have someone who can disciple you in prayer, is the use of biographies. John and Hugh share how God had used several biographies to shape their prayer lives.

Christians can be confused about the role emotions and experiences should play in their faith. Is doctrine the only way through which one learns about God? In this sermon on the Baptism of the Spirit, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones gives further thoughts and Scriptural exposition on the baptism of the Holy Spirit and on why it is a mistake to rely too much on either experiences or doctrine when thinking through this aspect of Christian faith. By pointing to the examples of Jesus's disciples, Dr. Lloyd-Jones teaches that Scripture presents instances of people who believed in Jesus Christ and were saved, yet had not been baptized or filled with the Holy Spirit. The evidence is added to by the fact that several well-known, established Christians have gone decades (in some cases) before being filled with the Spirit— this list includes men like Jonathan Edwards and D.L. Moody. Dr. Lloyd-Jones teaches that this baptism is available to all Christians, but that many are afraid of being overly-emotional and have cut out all emotion from their walk with Christ. This is an error that is not Scriptural. Those who believe in Christ have received eternal life as a gift— what could possibly cause more joy than that realization?

Today we honor and celebrate Larry’s final sermon at Waterstone Church. We focus on Jesus and the gift of salvation, and marvel at how grief and hope coexist, particularly in the story of Lazarus. This reminds us that, even in our darkest moments, Jesus, the God-Man, embodies compassion and promises resurrection. We are encouraged to embrace our faith, because true joy and renewal come from accepting Jesus into our lives. He is the one that guides us toward a deeper understanding of love, grace, and the assurance of eternal life.

Honesty with God - What Can God Hear?  In this part of my conversation with Kyle Strobel we explore what it looks like to be honest with God, the very theme of the book Where Prayer Becomes Real. As Kyle says, "Prayer is the place we draw near in the truth to offer ourselves to the Lord." Being honest with God depends our view of God and one way to think about who God is, is to think about what God can hear.  Kyle Strobel is a systematic theologian who teaches spiritual theology for Talbot's Institute for Spiritual Formation and Spiritual Formation Focus programs. His areas of interest include systematic theology, Jonathan Edwards, spiritual formation and prayer. He writes both popular and academic books and articles, and is on the preaching team at Redeemer Church, La Mirada.

Church Life that Supports Spiritual Formation In this part of my conversation with Kyle Strobel, we consider the longing for depth of meaning and belonging. Many people are coming to recognize the thinness of their busy lives, which lack any real sense of transcendence, any space for self-examination and reflection, and any deep experience of belonging. We need a way of life that creates space for real connection with God and with others.

The world knows him as an “Angry Puritan.” But Jonathan Edwards had a deep love for Christ and the lost. And this pastor from the Great Awakening has much to say to us today.

The Messiness of Spiritual Formation This is part 1 of my conversation with Kyle Strobel. One of the major themes of this episode is the messiness of prayer and the messiness of spiritual formation. We explore why this is and that the remedy is NOT just adding spiritual disciplines to your life.  Kyle Strobel is a systematic theologian who teaches spiritual theology for Talbot's Institute for Spiritual Formation and Spiritual Formation Focus programs.
