Podcasts about self-justification

But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. — Galatians 2:17-18 CALL OUT: Call out today to all the Leaders from Forged, our leadership training event in Florida. What a powerful group of men's leaders. The point of this text is so simple and yet so profound. Paul is saying that it is not my work that matters. It's Jesus's work. I tried my hand at building my life. It didn't work. All my work (the best of it and the worst of it) had to be torn down so that Jesus could build something new in me. He's the master carpenter. He always has been. I am not. I am merely the work of his hands. Therefore, my job is not rebuilding my life. It is living in the house he has already built. In addition, it's now living in this house with His Spirit, enjoying the work he has accomplished in me. Too many believers accept Jesus and return to the same old patterns. A justified man who behaves like an unjustified man is exerting useless energy. They have failed to see the point of justification, and rather than enjoying the justifying work of Jesus, they work to add their justification to Jesus' work because they are failing to let him be Lord and Savior. This is the point Paul is making about the Judaizers. They are teaching a Gospel of addition to Jesus's work, which is no Gospel at all. It's a man trying to play God. So don't play God today. Enjoy the justification of Jesus. Live by faith. Keep in step with the Spirit. Let others see the power of a life justified by Jesus Christ. #JustificationByFaith #ChristCenteredLife #LivingInHisWork #SpiritLedLiving #NoSelfJustification ASK THIS: How can we actively surrender our own efforts to rebuild our lives and instead embrace the work of Jesus in our daily walk? In what areas of our lives are we prone to revert to self-justification rather than trusting in the justification provided by Jesus? How can we shift our focus to living in the freedom of His grace? DO THIS: Enjoy the house Jesus built. PRAY THIS: Lord, help me to fully surrender my efforts to rebuild my life and to embrace the work you have already accomplished in me through Jesus Christ. Grant me the strength to walk in faith, keeping in step with your Spirit, and to reflect your justifying grace to those around me. Amen. PLAY THIS: Build My Life.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of being justified by God. By Him  we obtain a complete justification, for by him a complete atonement was made for sin. We are justified, not only by him as our judge, but by Him as our righteousness.  Our faith leads us to obey His word that leads to justification. We fall short when we try to justify ourselves by trying to do things our way. Scriptures:Romans 3, Romans 8Galatians 2:16-21James 2:17-26Luke 18:9-14Contact us at: lifeinspiredproductions@gmail.comFind us on Apple iTunes, SpotifyFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/EnrichedPInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/enriched_perspectives/YouTube: @Enriched_Perspectives    

Are you having thoughts of self-justification today? If so, listen, proceed with caution. A daily devotional through the Gospel of John with author and speaker Vince Miller.

I've been married long enough to know that when I get that look from my wife, without her saying a word, she is saying, "are you really going out looking like that?"I think I look just fine, but I know if I'm going to leave the house I'm going to have to at least change the shirt that I'm wearing, especially if I'm going somewhere with her! As Christians, we can become really comfortable with our casual Christian walk and lifestyle, but the Holy Spirit is saying, "are you really going to represent Me in the world you are living in looking like that?"There are two main outfits (if I can use this analogy) that we can put on as Christians. We can put on the righteousness of Christ, that He has given to us through His finished work on the cross, or we can put on our self-righteousness, as we continue attempting to prove we are okay and acceptable to God.To us, they can appear indistinguishable, but to God, they are so far apart. Let's discover what the Word of God has to say about these two outfits, and how we can tell which one we have on.

The letter of Romans was written to a people the author, the Apostle Paul, had never met. This may explain why it resonates with us today. It reads like a lantern for those searching for theological clarity in this often dark cavernous world. This letter trains, equips, empowers, and reveals the heart of what it means to follow Jesus and have a relationship with God. This week we work through Romans 2 and the consequences of self-justification. Speaker: Michael Bayne Text: Romans 2:1-16 ESV

On this episode, Ameé has an amazing guest on the show. Dr. Carol Tavris's work as a writer, teacher, and lecturer has been devoted to educating the public about psychological science. Her book with Elliot Aronson, "Mistakes Were Made (But Not by ME): Why we justify foolish beliefs, bad decisions, and hurtful acts" (revised edition, 2015, and most recently updated in 2020 with a new chapter--"Dissonance, Democracy, and the Demagogue"), applies cognitive dissonance theory to a wide variety of topics, including politics, conflicts of interest, memory, the criminal justice system, police interrogation, the daycare sex-abuse epidemic, family quarrels, international conflicts, and business. She speaks to many people on the topics of self-justification; science and pseudoscience in psychology; gender and sexuality; critical thinking; and anger. And on this episode, Ameé and Carol talk about cognitive dissonance, what it is and why we ALL tend to justify our actions, behaviors and beliefs, no matter what anybody tells us. In this episode, you will hear: A definition of Dissonance Theory and what it is The Pyramid of Choice that pushes people further apart over timeIdentify our pre-packaged blind spots and biases, in particular naive realism, and privilege Applying cognitive dissonance theory to all of the events of 2020, including Black Lives Matter, anti-racism, and the US Presidential electionsHow we can use social media differently if we know we really aren't going to change other people's minds & in fact, could be making matters worse How we can become more skeptical and more aware of our biases so that we can be sure we are on the right side of the coin that is truth and dishonesty Resources:Mistakes Were Made (but Not by Me) Third Edition: Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful ActsAnger: The Misunderstood Emotion

God helps those who help themselves. Right? It may be beneficial to read these chapters before listening.

David was a man after God’s heart, singled out by God in amazing ways! But David also sometimes chose spiritual blindness in ways completely contrary to God’s will. When confronted by the telling of a parable, David did not even recognize himself in the storyline. Join Kevin as he looks at the clear necessity of identifying and rooting out spiritual blindness. // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.

Well, I'd say it's about time! It's been weeks since I've posted a new podcast episode. In this episode I'm sharing the why. I've been wrestling a lot lately. But it's time to get back to sharing on this platform. I invite you to listen to this first episode back. You'll hear my heart and my confession and repentance. It's a raw episode. Not polished. But the goal, if there is one, is like always to spark in you a desire to be, live, and move with God. Seek His Face & Walk With HimScriptures mentioned: Genesis 3:4-6 TPTBut the snake said to her, “You certainly won’t die. God knows that the moment you eat it, you eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil. When the woman saw that the tree produced delicious fruit, delightful to look upon, and desirable to give one insight, she took its fruit and ate it. She gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he also ate it. 2 Corinthians 5:21 For God made the only one who did not know sin to become sin for us, so that we who did not know righteousness might become the righteousness of God through our union with him.2 Corinthians 7:9-11 TPTNow I’m over-joyed—not because I made you sad, but because your grief led you to a deep repentance. You experienced godly sorrow, and as God intended, it brought about gain for you, not loss, so that no harm has been done by us. God designed us to feel remorse over sin in order to produce repentance that leads to victory. This leaves us with no regrets. But the sorrow of the world works death.Can’t you see the good fruit that has come, as God intended, because of your remorse over sin? Now you are eager to do what is right! Look at the indignation you experienced over what happened and how alarmed you became. What holy longing it awakened, what passion for God, and how ready you were to bring justice to the offender. Your response has proved that you are free of blame in this matter.2 Timothy 2:25 TPT Then with meekness you’ll be able to carefully enlighten those who argue with you so they can see God’s gracious gift of repentance and be brought to the truth.New episodes every Tuesday!Thanks for subscribing and leaving a review!

It's high time we discussed some examples of self-deception (besides what we discussed in episodes 2 and 3). And why not just jump to a couple of the most important and universal - depression and anxiety?

I would like to propose that one great source of light we violate when we self-deceive is the light of Christ. Also known in scripture as the spirit of Christ, this light proceeds from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space, gives us our knowledge of right from wrong, is the very light and life of men, and is the very law by which all things are governed. To me this means that we can't escape it. When we go against this light, whether consciously or not, we must self-deceive, in order to justify ourselves. That's the theory--that we absolutely can't violate it without deceiving ourselves. This lays the groundwork for everything we'll discuss later. See what you think. Oh, and we just solved the whole philosophical problem of how we know what is moral or not.

Pastor Mike is continuing to speak on the holiness of God and His Love for us and how much He desires us to be Holy as He is. This week we are discussing the differences of the legalistic mindset and that of the Holy Conviction that the Holy Spirit brings. The enemy of our soul is very present in the world of legalism because he uses the law of God against us. Legalism steals the joy of an obedient heart, while holiness through proper understanding not only brings the Joy but it protects as well. Listen in to learn more about this very important topic of being set free in the thrill of being holy...

If there is a God and if His kingdom is on the earth, then it follows that if we act against His word or His anointed, we must of necessity justify our behavior, according to my theory (that we justify ourselves through self-deception whenever we go against the truth). The word becomes less valid and the anointed of God become less authoritative to us. In my growing up life I observed what seemed to me to be clear self-justification/self-deception of this type. I think it helped me be extra cautious of it in myself, and served as further evidence of the truth. For why would we act as if we were justifying ourselves, unless there was something true we were acting against?

This is going to be quite the podcast. As I write this I have 9 episodes recorded. They contain the clearest and most correct treatment of self-deception that I know of, and to me self-deception is a great missing key to psychology. I'm excited to share it with you and trust we will receive more knowledge and understanding as we continue on this journey. My methodology is a little different in that am seeking truth from sources way outside traditional psychology, but I believe that is where the gold is. I hope you enjoy and maybe benefit from these ideas, and I invite you to participate if you'd like by commenting or emailing. This first episode is just a short introduction to me as the creator of the podcast.

C. Terry Warner, a philosophy professor at Brigham Young University until his retirement, has made unprecedented strides in the area of self-deception, especially as it relates to social interactions. I have seen no one else treat his subject better. Studying self-deception without talking about Terry Warner would be a little like studying physics without talking about Einstein. I am greatly indebted to him for my knowledge in this area and will forever be grateful I was ever able to study under him.

Seventh in a sermon series on the Book of Ruth, Ruth 3.1-7.

Do you remember the first time you said "I love you" to someone? We are comfortable at saying I love you to family, friends who mean a great deal to us or your children, niece or nephew or brother or sister in Christ. But when was the last time you expressed love you to a total stranger?

Jealousy leads to anger. It is rooted in pride. Saul gave himself to his pride. It is a downward spiral.
