A Cultural War Various Passages October 3, 2021 I. Introduction: A. We learned last week that truth basically means reality, something that is so real you can depend upon it, you can bet your life on it. Thus from this definition we have given the name to this series “Let's Get Real” 1. So let's get real this morning. What is really going on? What is so true and so real that I can build my life on it? 2. Do you want to get real? I need to warn you that this morning may be a bit like the movie A Few Good Men where Jack Nicholson speaking to Tom Cruise said (video from movie) a) Nicholson “you want answers?” b) Cruise: “I want the truth!” c) Nicholson: “you can't handle the truth!” B. Sometimes Christianity does not make you feel better but actually makes life harder rather than easier. That is hard for some people to handle! But this reality, this truth is something you can build your life on and depend upon! So let's get real! 1. First, there is a whole spiritual world and many spiritual beings that are real but they are all invisible. 2. That spiritual world touches our lives, our church our nation, and our world and is behind many of the struggles and problems we have experience in all of these arenas. a) Turn to and read Ephesians 6:11-12 b) We see in v12 that there is a struggle going on and it is not against other humans but ultimately against spiritual invisible beings, bad angels, demons whose desire is to destroy our world and us. c) We see here in v11 that Satan has schemes to try to get us to fall. He has many methods but one of his primary tricks is deception. Getting us to believe a lie. 3. Jesus calls Satan the father of lies, - read John 8:44bff a) Deception is the primary means he uses – read Revelation 12:9 b) That means Satan is working to get us to believe a lie! Something that is unreal and not dependable, an illusion that if you build your life on it, it will crumble. C. We learned last week that Jesus is the truth! The ultimate, dependable reality and truth! D. Thus, we have a spiritual war that is going on both in the heavenlies and here on earth between God and Satan, and we are right in the middle of the battlefield. 1. Satan wants to control us by his lies and use us as his instrument of lies to further his agenda 2. God wants to control us by His truth and use us as instruments of truth to further His agenda! E. God has provided for us powerful spiritual weapons for this spiritual battle for truth. Turn to 2 Corinthians 10:3 1. The context of this chapter was that false teachers were trying to discredit Paul and what he taught. So it was out of this context Paul writes what he says next. 2. Read v3-4 We see two things here a) While we are humans of flesh, the war we are in is not a human war but a spiritual war. b) Secondly, the weapons that God has provided for us are spiritual and powerful for destroying strongholds/fortresses 3. Now note in v5 that He tells us what are the strongholds/fortresses that He is destroying with these powerful spiritual weapons. Read v5 a) Simply this is a battle for truth b) A battle against anything, any teaching, philosophy, ideology, belief system even every single thought that is contrary to God and His Truth. F. That is the real world we live in and the real battle we fight for our families, our church, our nation and ourselves. That truth is so real you can build your life upon it. You are living in the middle of a battle for your mind; truth and lies are the primary weapons! • So today and next week I want to help us better understand this battle for truth in light of the postmodern world we live in II. Postmodern A. Many have called this war for truth a cultural war because the battle rages primarily in the seven institutions of culture. 1. Those institutions are family, religion, government, arts, media, education, and economy. 2. A cultural war happens when worldviews clash in the institutions of culture. Especially when one group who runs the institutions puts pressure upon other groups to accept their views! Dr Marcus Warner 3. Dr Warner goes on to say historically Christians have only been involved in two of the cultural institutions (family and religion) and because we have not been involved in the other five we are losing the battle for the culture! 4. As a result, many of the perspectives of our postmodern world stand in direct opposition to a truth centered biblical worldview! B. Voodie Bachman says the hallmark of postmodern thinking is the rejection of absolute truth – truth that is true for all people in all places at all times. 1. The three by products of that are pluralism, relativism, and tolerance. 2. Next week we will deal more with absolute truth, so today I just want to deal with the three byproducts. C. Pluralism simply means there can be two or more differing or opposing views that are equally valid and true. 1. That is why irrational thinking is not a problem in this day. 2. We struggle because the laws of logic tells us that truth cannot contradict itself, but the postmodern world is comfortable with and even celebrates contradictions in reasoning and logic. 3. Many believe this has grown out of the industrialization of our big cities as people of differing cultures, ethnicities, colors and religions have come in from all over the world to get work. a) Thus, the culture we live in now is pluralistic. b) Air travel and the internet have allowed the world to shrink so we have many interactions with people who are very different from us. 4. Thus, many differing views exist together in one place at the same time making our culture a pluralistic culture. 5. So the people we try to minister to, believe there are many different and opposing truths that are equally true and valid! D. Relativism means truth is not fixed for all people but is individually determined dependent upon a person's unique situation and beliefs. 1. So if each person's, each sub culture's and each group's situation and beliefs are different, and if there is no absolute truth then truth is in constant flux and all truths are valid and equal! 2. Thus, relativism and pluralism go hand and hand. That is why you hear from people today “that may be true for you, but it is not true for me!” E. Tolerance 1. Tolerance used to mean bearing with, accepting, and treating with respect someone who has a different view than you 2. Today tolerance means you not only accept and treat with respect someone who differs but you must embrace and celebrate their views. It demands that we value these views to the degree that we value our own and if we do not we are intolerant. 3. We must speak the truth in love; both must be present and not one without the other! 4. We must be ready to accept the rejection received for that as a badge of honor in the kingdom of God and be more concerned with what God thinks than what they think! Now we all must face that internal battle with ourselves! III. Application A. I love what Doctor Warner says about how we can engage in this war and act like Christians. 1. Love your enemies and do good to them (relational) 2. Oppose wicked spirits and pray for revival (spiritual ) 3. Validate, listen and validate first then speak the truth in love (conversational) 4. Engage with cultural institution (cultural) – we need more Daniels and Josephs in these days! 5. Then he goes on to say when we do this we may not save the world or even some relationships, but we will make inroads into some people's lives with relational breakthroughs B. Turn to Colossians 2:13-15 1. As I read note that Jesus at the cross, when he shed His blood disarmed and defeated Satan. Read v13-15 2. Listen to Revelation 12:10-11 3. It is the blood of Jesus that defeats and disarms the enemy. C. As communion is taken today would you get real by consider the war you are really in and where Satan has duped you with his lies. Then thank Jesus for shedding His blood. Then apply His blood by faith against the enemy where he has duped you, your mate, your children, your church, your nation!

Truth in Our World Today Various passages October 10 2021 I. Introduction: A. Read Proverbs 14:6,33 1. Simply the better you understand something, the easier it will be for you to know what to do and the wiser you will be! 2. So the better we understand our culture: a) We will better understand why people say what they say and do the things they do today. b) We will be wiser in contending for the faith c) We will be wiser to navigate these times without being squeezed into the mold of the world d) We will be wiser on how to impact others. B. We stated the first week that we are living in a very unique time as many have lived in two different cultural eras, which in many ways can be defined not by age or generation but more by the way, we perceive the world and particularly the way we think about truth. These two eras are called modern and post-modern • So I am going to start by simply reading to you a 30,000-foot view of the summary of my study of these. I would highly encourage you to download these notes from our webpage later in the week. II. Cultural eras A. Modernism began in the mid-17th century with the rise of the age of enlightenment - an age of reason where human understanding was used to define the universe. It was an intellectual movement that believed human reason and science gave us access to truth, with the ultimate goal that knowledge of the truth would better humankind. They could now ‘correct' and ‘improve' the political and social condition of humankind. Thus, the individual would no longer be at the mercy of religious and secular authorities of the middle ages who dictated people what was true, primarily long held traditions! B. Postmodernism found its beginning more in the 60's and 70's It is more an attitude towards truth claims than it is a generational thing. It began in response to the failure of the modernist to provide this new and better society. After two world wars, nonstop social revolutions, civil unrest and the cold war modernity was declared dead by the academic world! It was marked by questioning of reason, skepticism, radical uncertainty, celebration of difference, and the reassessment of modern principles. The modern age was marked by different large-scale theories, “grand narratives” - one ultimate truth that could explain the totality of human experience. The postmodern age was one of “micro-narratives” that focused on context/relativism, subcultures, and diversity, none of which can claim an ultimate truth. What is reality/truth? Rather than being an absolute objective truth, accessible by rational procedures and experimentation, reality was relative and depended on subjective experience. Truth is not something we discover out there that is beyond us but rather something we construct. There is no absolute truth The hallmark of postmodern thinking is the rejection of absolute truth. The three byproducts of that are pluralism relativism, and tolerance If anyone does not buy into these three byproducts then they are considered to have left their brains at the door. If there is no absolute truth then all truths are equally valid. • Before we go on, we need to understand some... III. Key definitions about truth A. This is important because to be able to contend for the faith we need to understand the words that are being used today in the battle for truth. Most of them are not common to us but to understand them opens up a deeper understanding about what truth and reality are B. Following are the PBP pocket dictionary 2nd edition definitions regarding truth – (see flyer) 1. Truth – what is real, that which correspond with reality. 2. Absolute – true for all people in all places at all times independent of any outside factors. 3. Relative – truth is not fixed for all but is individually determined dependent upon a person's unique situation. 4. Objective – truth based on how things really are whether we agree with it or not. 5. Subjective - truth based on a person's perspective, feelings, opinions and circumstances whether it is real or not. 6. Exclusive – truth that is limited and excludes others. 7. Pluralism – Two or more differing or opposing views that are equally valid and true. 8. Construct –every individual, group or subculture is free to create their own reality/truth. 9. Material – the material world and its laws. Materialism or naturalism is the belief that nature is all there is. • Now with a better understanding of these words next I tried to make a chart that puts the ideas of truth together through the lens of the modern and postmodern era and the eternal era of God! IV. Summary chart of truth V. The problem as I see it A. We see this kind of postmodern thinking all over our culture today. But my biggest concern right now is how it has hit three major institutions of culture – the media, politics and education. I believe it has hit both sides of the aisles in different ways whether you are watching Fox News or CNN or you are a Republican or Democrat. B. Many of these institutions are constructing truth. They do it through what they call talking points – 1. This is what we are going to talk about and this is what we want people to believe. a) So they talk about their talking points whether they are true or not and almost always just half the truth at best – that which sides with their view and never the whole truth. 2. Those who do not side with our truth are bullied, vilified, shamed or cancelled. 3. Which shuts down all intelligent conversations, getting to what really is the truth and what is real enough that we can build our life upon it! C. The goal is no longer communicating the facts or what is true but rather communicating their agenda! Bottom line – the loudest voice or the voice with the most people behind it wins! 1. Here is the problem with that (pp) “A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.” Booker T. Washington 2. People are entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts! Original source uncertain but repeated by many • So with this going on in our culture how can anyone depend upon what they are hearing in a way they can build their life on it? VI. Final app A. So that brings us back to what we have learned over the last few weeks. God and His Word are the only reality upon which we can rely upon to build our lives. 1. In a day and age where us common folk do not have access to all the facts and only hear what people want us to hear and believe to be true and there are so many contradictions we are hearing … 2. We need to make God's Word the source where we can find truth we can rely upon and build our lives upon! 3. The only “no spin” zone in the world that we can depend upon to build our life upon is the Word of God! 4. Read Psalm 1:1-3. Read and speak as God gives utterance B. I want to close this morning by giving you some books that can help you gain a better understanding into the things we have talked about the last four weeks. 1. Another Gospel – Alisa Childers – use to be in the group Zoegirl. She tells the story of how her faith was nearly destroyed by a progressive pastor and how God walked here through that time and taught her the truth. 2. The Truth War – John Macarthur - basically John's commentary on the book of Jude and how it applies to truth in a postmodern age. 3. The Ever loving Truth – Voddie Bauchman – talks about how a 21st century Christian can stand faithful and be a voice for truth in a postmodern world

The Bible Various Passages October 17, 2021 I. Introduction: A. We are hitting a major turning point in our series about truth, which we are calling ‘Let's Get Real' because we learned that truth means reality; a reality you can rely upon and build your life upon. 1. We also have been looking at how people look at truth in this post-modern world we live in today because Proverbs 14 teaches us that the better we understand our culture the easier it will be for us to know what to do and the wiser we will be on how to live and impact others 2. Our whole series began through a verse that was part of our agenda at a board meeting 1 Chronicles 12:32 a) This is a section of Scripture where God was telling us who the different groups of people where who supported King David and what they did for him. b) The men of Issachar understood their times and they knew what Israel should do. c) Sounds like these men were special consultants for David as they had the special ability to take their times and God's Word and know exactly what they needed to do! B. Well so far in this series we have gained some understanding about our times, so today we are going to transition in this series to the second half of that verse and better understand God's Word, the other thing that the men of Issachar evidently knew so we can know what we need to do in these days. 1. My goal is not to pull out specific instructions that we need to apply today but to better understand the source of truth– the Word of God, the Bible, the word of truth! 2. A reality we can rely upon and build our lives upon, a reality that can stand through the storms of life • We will start with what the Bible says about itself. Then we will build upon that each week. Let's start with the II. Claims of the Bible A. Just to let you know up front, today there will be many power points because we are going to be looking at many different passages and we will be moving quickly through them. Again, you may want to download the notes off the web page midweek and look at these passages again for yourself. B. The writers of the Bible claim it is God's very words 1. It is called the Word of God a) Ephesians 6:17 – the sword of the Spirit is the Word of God – and we saw Jesus use that when he was tempted by the devil as every time Satan came at him Jesus backed him off by saying - “it is written” b) 1 Thessalonians 2:13 – clearly states that the word was both accepted by these people and affirmed by Paul to really be the Word of God and not the word of men! c) 1 Peter 1:23,25 – first called the Word of God then it is called the Word of the Lord 2. When prophets spoke and their words, which have been recorded in the Bible, they repeatedly said, “thus says the Lord.” So the words recorded are the very words that the Lord had them say. 3. 2 Timothy 3:16 is probably the strongest verse supporting that these words come directly from God. Turn and stay there! a) Read first 6 words b) Actually, the Greek word for scripture means writing, and it is used to refer to the written word of God, the Bible. c) The Greek word for inspired literally means God -breathed. These words written in Scripture have come from the very depths of God (1) (breath to illustrate) (2) God divinely influenced the human authors of the Scriptures in such a way that what they wrote was the very word of God. (3) We will come back to inspiration in another message. 4. This all means the Bible truly is the Word of God and makes the Bible unique among all other books. C. The Bible also claims that its words are truth, reality you can rely upon, that you can build your life upon, which is the point of this series. 1. It is called the word of truth - 2 Timothy 2:15, James 1:18 2. It also claims what it says is truth -John 17:17; 2 Samuel 7:28; Psalm 119:160 - God's words all add up to truth, the sum total of truth, the full meaning all of His Word is truth! 3. Bottom line, if God is truth and these words are His words then they need to be words of truth D. The Bible makes claims about the creation of the universe, the nature of the God and man and where this world is going. 1. Since the Bible is truth, that means the Bible is the most important book in the history of mankind and holds the answers to the most important questions in life: a) Where did I come from? b) Why am I here? c) What happens to me after I die? d) What is going on in this world? • So now that we know that the Bible claims to be the Word of God and the truth! Let's look at some of the III. The benefits and power of the Bible A. When I think of the benefits of the Bible 1. I cannot help but go to 2 Timothy 3:16 –17. Still there? Read a) V16 - profitable for teaching (the way we should go) reproof (tells us when we are off the way) correction (tells us how to get back on the way) training in righteousness (trains us so we can stay on the way without falling!) b) V17 - all this so that we would be adequate and equipped for every good work. (1) adequate means we have all we need to do what God wants us to do (2) equipped – completely furnished with the tools we need 2. Turn to 1 Peter 2:1-2 a) After telling us at the end of chapter 1 that we are born again by the Word of God, now here he tells us that we grow spiritually by the Word of God just as a baby grows from the milk they receive from their mother! 3. We know from Ephesians 6 and the example of Jesus in Matthew 4 it is the sword we need to defeat the work of the devil in our life. 4. Also in this book, we find all of God's promises – the commitments that God has made to us to help us through various difficult situations and personal needs we have. 5. Freedom for your soul and life is found by staying in this book, especially freedom from the bondage of sin - which entangles us and steals life from us –John 8:31-32 6. In this book we learn of Jesus – our savior and lord, our guardian and shepherd, our life who actually is everything we need in every situation in which we find ourselves – He is our all in all. John 5:39 B. I could go on and on about the benefits of the Bible but let me share a bit of its power. 1. Hebrews 4:12– alive, active, sharp, piercing, judging 2. Jeremiah 23:28-29 says it's like grain, like fire, like a hammer 3. Ephesians 5:26 tells us it has the power to cleanse 4. Romans 12:2 – has the power to transform 5. Romans 10:17 – faith comes by hearing the Word of God 6. John 17:17 – it sanctifies us – bottom line that means it breaks the power of sin and Satan in my life and builds more of the life of Jesus in me 7. Bottom line, we should not be surprised by the power of God's Word. If God is omnipotent – a big theological term that simply means that God has unlimited power and authority, then His words would be powerful as well. • So today, we are just introducing the Bible to ourselves, as there is so much more we need to address on this topic in weeks to come. IV. Conclusion A. We have learned that 1. These words are the very words of God Himself 2. These words are truth – no surprise there if the God of truth was to speak words would you not expect them to be words of truth – reality upon which that you can rely and build your life! 3. We learned these words are beneficial to us both in our relationship with God and in our personal lives 4. Finally, that these words are powerful – powerful life changing words from a powerful life changing God! B. So my final exhortation to you today is from 1 Thessalonians 2:13 – performs its work within us. Turn to it read it 1. When you hear this book proclaimed or when you read it or listen to it for yourself; recognize, receive and respect it for what it is – not the word of men, but for what it really is, the Word of God 2. Secondly, do not try to squeeze God's Word into your schedule but build your schedule around God's Word first then plan everything else. Read it, listen to it, study it, memorize it, meditate on it (simply means to think deeply and repeatedly about it) because it performs numerous powerful life changing works at the core of our being for those who believe it! a) I recognize for some of you young moms or home schooling moms who think I am out of touch with the real world – I would encourage you to take a verse or two a day and write it on a 3x5 card and carry it around with you. Glance at it repeatedly during the day when you get just a moment. Thirty 30 second glances and reflections are like 15 minutes in God's Word!

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley. Mary's first guest of this season is Samantha Kelen appearing in “Let's Get Real”. The two GWIC have gotten to know each other through their volunteer work on the leadership team of Compliance Career Connection, another wonderful example of how when you choose to send the elevator back down, inevitably you will be enriched as well. Sam's episode has a focus on being genuine, authentic and quite simply, human in this week's episode, not only in respect of being a Compliance professional, which is a fairly commonly accepted key to being successful in the field, but also as a leader in Compliance with responsibility setting tone and a role modeling example for a team. Samantha and Mary discuss some of the limitations of the concept of bringing your whole self to work, how vulnerability needs to be tempered with a filter and maintaining some semblance of professionalism. They also talk about how women oftentimes need to consider the repercussions about being direct or offering alternative opinions as coming across negatively, fairly or not. The Great Women in Compliance Podcast is on the Compliance Podcast Network with a selection of other Compliance related offerings to listen in to. If you are enjoying this episode, please rate it on your preferred podcast player to help other likeminded Ethics and Compliance professionals find it. You can also find the GWIC podcast on Corporate Compliance Insights where Lisa and Mary have a landing page with additional information about them and the story of the podcast. Corporate Compliance Insights is a much appreciated sponsor and supporter of GWIC, including affiliate organization CCI Press publishing the related book; “Sending the Elevator Back Down: What We've Learned from Great Women in Compliance” (CCI Press, 2020).
