On today's episode of the podcast we're creating your end of year game plan for getting the most out of your tax savings. Don't forget, Tuesday, December 13, I'm hosting two free masterclasses titled "7 Legal & Tax Myths: Busting Through the B.S. That's Costing You Money" to help ease your nerves before tax season whether it's the end of year stress around bookkeeping, filing your LLC or S Corp in the New Year, and overall transitioning your business into a new year. This will be the last time you can join ProfitRx until it reopens next year AND I'll be giving away some never-before-seen bonuses. Register to join at www.bradendrake.com/masterclass As always, I want to remind you that the end of the year is NOT the time to start making big purchases and increasing your expenses to get a deduction. If it is a necessary business expense, maybe. But spending to spend is not it because you will not save as much as you spend. I explain this in detail in my latest blog post that was inspired by this episode titled, Your End of Year Action Plan. You also need to consider your tax rate and rate changes before you make any end of year purchases. Will your business grow next year? Will you have additional income sources from you or a spouse? These things all affect your tax bracket. If you are going to go up a tax bracket next year, save your expenses for January. The higher your bracket the more you save with each tax deduction. If you expect an increase in income, spending in December isn't the move. For more steps on getting maximum tax savings, check out the Your End of Year Action Plan blog post.

I don't know if you've heard, but Christ is risen. Christ is risen. Christ is risen. Praise God. I'm Jan, one of the pastors, and we're going to preach the word today, because there's power in the word of God. Would you pray with me over the preaching of God's holy word? Heavenly Father, we thank you that you are a great God and a holy God, blazing holiness. Not one of us can stand in your presence apart from the shielding of the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Jesus, we thank you that you lived a perfect life. Impeccable, no sin, perfect life of love toward God and love toward neighbor itself. And you loved us to the end, of going to a cross, bearing, excruciating physical anguish, and that was just the surface level of the pain as you bore the wrath of God on our behalf. We thank you, Jesus, that you didn't stay dead. Praise God. We thank you that you came back from the dead, and in the death of Christ, you dealt death a death blow.We praise you for that, and we thank you that you are the Great Conqueror, the Great Victor over Satan, sin, and death. And that when we trust in you by grace through faith, we are in you, shielded, protected. Your shield of favor covers us. We thank you for that. And I pray, Holy Spirit, you are with us, you are heavy in the room. I pray today for those who feel dead inside, for those who have experienced death of relationships or death of marriage. I pray today bring your resurrection power from the inside out, speak life to dry bones so that they come alive. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.My dear wife, Tanya, told me that in a suit I look like a funeral home director, which is appropriate because the title of sermon is Your End is Near, and we're all going to die. How much money do you have? You know the bottom line. You think about it all the time. Order magnitude. How much time do you have left? We have no idea. I don't have to be a mystic or a profit to know that every single one of us, our end is near, and on Good Friday we establish the fact that we're all sinners and we're guilty before a righteous and holy God. Ivan Turgenev said the following. He's a Russian poet writer. He says, "I do not know what the heart of a bad man is like, but I do know what the heart of a good man is like, and it's terrible." It's just terrible. The physical life is not all there is. We know that there's something that transcends the material life, that's God. So, the question before us is, how can a just, holy, righteous God accept unrighteous, sinful, unjust people?How can we be saved from the looming just punishment that's coming? Is there a way to get mercy? Mercy is when you say, "God, have mercy on me. Please forgive me of my sins." Not guilty. There's no punishment. All of your sins are forgiven. You're free to go home. You're free to live your life. Is that just why Jesus Christ died? To forgive us our sins and give us mercy? No, it's not just why he died. If you pause there, you only have half the gospel, and half the gospel is no gospel. Jesus Christ didn't just die to give you mercy. Jesus also died to give you grace. Well, what's the difference between mercy and grace?Mercy is when you are not given the punishment you deserve. Grace is when you are given something on top. Grace is when you get what you don't deserve. You're declared just. You're justified by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Just as if I'd not sinned. Justification by grace through faith. That's what we're talking about. We're talking about grace, and every single one of us needs grace. God's unmerited favor. Roman's 3:21-31. Would you look at the text with me, either in your Bible or in your app or on the screen? By the way, we're in the Sermon Series through Romans. And if this is your first time, it's been one of the most powerful sermon series ever at this church. You can get it in the app. You can get all the sermons online, on the website. Today, we're in Romans 3:21-31."But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it - the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and false short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.""Then what becomes of our boasting? It's excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, since God has one - who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law."This is the reading of God's holy and infallible authoritative word. May you write these eternal truths upon our lives. St. Paul begins this stream of thought in verse 20. "For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin." We talked about this last week that God gave the 10 commandments. It's a moral law. It's written on every single one of our hearts. We know that it's true. And every single one of us, we've broken the commandments. Therefore, we are guilty. We can't be justified through obedience because no one's been obedient except for Jesus Christ. So, the question before us is, how are sinners justified? Martin Luther, the great reformer in the 16th century, he coined this phrase. By the way, he said that this text, this is the greatest text explaining the gospel, because if you don't understand this text, you most likely do not understand the gospel. He coined the phrase called "Simul justus et peccator," in Latin.'Simul,' we get the word 'simultaneously' from it. 'Justus,' 'just,' 'simultaneously just.' 'Et,' E-T, 'and.' 'Peccator' means sinner. We get the word 'impeccable.' That's someone without sin. That's why I don't like the word 'impeccable,' because only Jesus is impeccable. Not your car. And we're sinners. But, we can be simultaneously just. How? That's the question before us. Thanks to Jesus Christ, life, death, and resurrection, we can be judiciously declared just by God while still sinners. This is the very heart of the gospel. That you are a wicked sinner, that's the bad news. You're so much worse than you ever even thought. Just ask your mom. You're terrible. We are all sinners, just terrible, but we don't have to clean ourselves up before we come to God.You don't have to clean up your sin before you come to God. You don't have to be righteous in order to be accepted by God. You need to come to God the way you are. Just the way you are. Come just as you are to Jesus Christ and say, "Jesus, you promised I can be justified even as a sinner. You promised. I name and claim your word. I believe your word. I can be just, I can be declared just because of Jesus Christ."Romans 3:21. "But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it." Righteousness of God, apart from the law? Paul, what are you talking about? You just made the case that the law, the law, the law, it's still enforced. We need to obey the law. And then, you're telling us that we can't do it. We can't make ourselves righteous. We need a righteousness apart from the law. Whose righteousness is that? It's the righteousness of God. It's the righteousness of Jesus Christ.Jesus Christ is the only person who lived a life good enough to get into heaven. No one else comes even close. Not even Mother Teresa. Nobody comes close. No one can get into heaven on their own merit, on their own work. This isn't a Christian idea, as the verse tells us. It wasn't something made up by Jesus Christ. It wasn't something made up by the Apostle Paul or any of the other apostles. He said that it was in the Law and the Prophets, the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it. He's talking about the Hebrew scriptures. He's talking about the Jewish sacred scriptures, that the doctrine of justification by grace through faith from the reformation. He's saying it was in the Hebrew Bible the whole time. It was in the Torah the whole time. He's like, "Yeah."When God comes to Abraham, a pagan, and says, "You're mine. I choose to pour my life and my love out on you. You are mine." And Abraham believed. That's all it took. And this is Genesis 15:6. "And he believed the Lord, and he, the Lord, counted it to him as righteousness." Was Abraham righteous the rest of his life? No, he made mistake after mistake, but this is the beauty of why you can bounce back when you sinned. You can repent and immediately receive grace from God and you can keep going. The righteous person falls down seven times and keeps getting up because of this.By the way, you can't have any relationship unless you understand grace. You can't understand any relationship, in particular, marriage. I've been thinking of marriage a lot recently, because it's springtime in Boston, the best time of the year, and there's a lot of weddings happening at Mosaic. Praise God, praise God. And by the way, if you're single, today's a tremendous time to meet a godly person. To all the single people, there's going to be a mixer in the foyer or on the steps afterwards. Just be bold. The righteous are as courageous as lions. Ask someone out for a coffee at Tatte. Go to brunch.I've been rethinking how I am doing marital counseling and how I'm going to weddings upcoming. I don't want to say, "Are you going to love each other?" I don't want to say that because to love each other means that you are going to bear with this person's sin until death do you part. That's what we should be saying. "Do you, groom, take the bride with all of her baggage and carry-ons and you're going to carry them the rest of your life?" "Are you going to take his sin too?" And when you sin against each other, you give each other grace and you repent, but you start by repenting to the Lord. The law was given as a standard by which we will be held accountable. It was given to drive us to God and say, "God, have mercy on me, a sinner."And this is why the blood sacrifices are so important in the Old Testament, because it was a reminder to every single person every single time it was done that we cannot be made righteous by our works because our works have never enough. So, how do I get the righteousness of God? How can I be declared righteous? That's verse 22. "The righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe." All you need is faith in Christ. But, here I've got to pause, because we have to define what faith is. Let's talk about faith in Jesus Christ for a bit. Saving faith. Who is Jesus Christ? He's the second person of the Trinity, he's fully God, he's fully man. And Jesus Christ is the word, the word of God incarnate.John 1:1-5. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." Jesus Christ is the word. He is the light, and he shines this light into darkness, but we hate the light because the light exposes our sin. It's impossible to sin with the lights on, the light of God. The light, when you're in darkness and you're sinning, the lights come on and it's unpleasant. It's blinding. It's disorienting. You're shocked. People in Boston live in darkness, people in the whole world live in darkness. We're like hormone-disoriented middle schoolers.I'm thinking seventh and eighth grade at a school dance in the gym. Lights are off. You're having a good time. Just learned to dance. There're girls. And then, the gym teacher turns the lights on at 8:00 PM, tells everyone to go home. Oh no, you're crestfallen. The light comes into darkness. Unbelief is the darkness. It's the core division in our country, in our society, in our workplaces, in our homes. Faith was and is the core of Western civilization. It shaped the modern world, and you can see that faith in unbelief division. You can see it playing out in every single major debate and argument that we see in the world. Popular society has done everything it possibly can to banish Jesus, just getting rid of Jesus Christ from everything. Every single public space, you're trying to squeeze Jesus out completely. And how's that going for us? How's the reconstruction of a better morality working for us? It's not.We're living in darkness, and in darkness, you don't know what's true. We search for truth. Can we find truth without Jesus Christ? No, of course not. We deny the truth, and it's led to a whole manner of wickedness and perversion in our world. Moral corruption, and blindness, and lawlessness. Calling evil good and good evil. This is the darkness, and in the darkness, you can't tell which way is up or out. Disbelief is the darkness, and it leads to destruction and confusion, because all we have gone astray like sheep. We search for truth, is that search genuine? Because, when we find the truth, it's inconvenient, because now we have to orient our lives around the truth if we're going to be honest.Pontius Pilate searched for truth, genuinely or rhetorically, when he asked what is truth before letting the mob decide the answer to that question. John 18:37-40. "Then Pilate said to him, 'So you are king?' Jesus answered, 'You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world - to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.' Pilate said to him, 'What is truth?' After he said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, 'I find no guilt in him. But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?' They cried out again, 'Not this man, but Barabbas!' Now Barabbas was a robber."Pilate says, "What is truth?" And then, he says, "I see nothing wrong with this man. That's my truth," and then the mob comes at him and he cowers like a coward to the mob. He doesn't even stand... You want to know the truth? You don't even stand for your own truth. Because when the mob comes after you, it takes courage to stand in the truth. By the way, this is why some of you, perhaps, are not as open about your faith as you should be. You're afraid of what people might think. You're afraid of the loss. You're afraid of not being liked. Jesus Christ said, "I'm the way and the truth and the life." His life and words speak the truth he's meaning itself. Picture Jesus has a bridge between the physical world and the immaterial meaning of the world. We live in the material world, but it's not all there is. We know that. We know that there are things that transcend the material. We all know that, but Jesus Christ is the only one that can speak meaning into this world, makes sense of things.Yesterday was my sister's birthday, and her second favorite place in the world... Her first favorite place in the world is Mosaic, because this is a house of prayer for all nations. Her second favorite in the world is Gillette stadium. So, yesterday we went to Gillette stadium. I took three of my daughters and we drove to Gillette stadium and we had some Five Guys. It was delicious, grabbed some ice cream. And then, we went to the Hall of Fame, the Patriots Hall of Fame. I saw this painting of Bill Belichick, and it moved me. That's the only way I can explain it. It moved me. It stirred my heart. I'm standing... Bill... It's just ugly. It's so ugly, like he's just pissed at you. He's like cussing you out without even saying anything with just his face. He's got the hoodie and he's just... And I'm staring at it and it's just moving me. I'm like...It's just a canvas with some paint. That's all it is. It looks nice, but why does art move us? Why does beauty move us? Because, it transcends the material. Truth transcends the material. Goodness transcends the material. And you take Jesus out, you banish him from society, well, that's why we can't make sense of any- that's why we have no idea what's true anymore. I stopped watching the news. I got no news. I'm off of social media. I go on Instagram because my sisters post my nieces and nephews. That's nice. I don't want to know anymore news. It's all terrible all the time, so I look to the word of God, which is truth. Michael Gazzaniga in The Consciousness Instinct, he's one of the leading experts in the human mind, and he says the metaphor is built into human consciousness. Human consciousness has an instinct for creating symbols to represent experiences to ourselves.In school, we were taught that simile is a comparison using 'like' or 'as.' Metaphor, which is so important to the human consciousness, doesn't use 'like' or 'as.' It uses 'is.' Jesus is the truth. He is the symbol of truth in a fallen world. But more than just a symbol, he is truth. Everything Jesus did was wholly true. He really historically lived. He really historically died, and he really historically physically came back from the dead. That's true. Now, because that's true, we can draw meaning from it. And the meaning is this, this is how wicked we are. The one time God decided to come into the universe to break through, break in, the immaterial becomes material, divine becomes human, the only time he did that, we killed him.And it wasn't just because back then they were more sinful than we are now. Yes, they were sinful. The Roman leaders killed him because they were Roman leaders and there was too much to lose if they were to allow him to speak the truth. The religious leaders killed him because they were religious leaders, because they were going to lose too much if he were true. The people killed him because he proclaimed the truth about their sin. If Jesus Christ came back today to the world, we would do the same exact thing. We would kill him. Sinful people would figure out a way to kill him, and probably make it look like a suicide. Why? Because, he exposes sin. He exposes the truth. He knows every single one of our dark secrets. He can speak it out loud. That's a dangerous, dangerous person. That's why they killed him. It still is the same way. It would happen all the same this very day.Do you believe in Jesus Christ? That's what we're talking about. Saving faith, and I don't mean, do you believe that Jesus Christ really lived as a human being? I don't mean, do you believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God? And I don't mean, do you believe that everything Jesus taught is true? What I do mean is, have you submitted every single aspect of your life to Jesus Christ, who is king? Is Jesus Christ on the throne of your heart and your life, not just on the throne in heaven? I'm not saying you do it perfectly, but I am saying that you strive to do it perfectly. A true Christian strives to be perfect as your Heavenly father is perfect, as Jesus has told us in the Sermon on the Mount.A lot of modern American Christians have been inoculated from true saving faith with a vaccine of cheap grace. "Oh, you're a sinner? Come, here's your first shot of forgiveness. Now go, live anyway you want, and come back for boosters." No. True faith in Christ is knowing him and doing the hard work of reorienting every single aspect of your life around the truth of Jesus Christ and his word. Some of you have been baptized, maybe members of churches, but one day you'll stand before Christ and hear Matthew 7:21. "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,'" words of Christ, "will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then I would declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'"Saving faith is when you realize that you have not kept the law, the 10 commandments, you've broken them, and then you turn to Christ and say, "Christ, I need to be forgiven and also I need your righteousness," and by grace through faith, he gives it to you. And then, you do everything you possibly can to do the will of God and follow the way of God as you read in the word of God. So, back to Gillette stadium. My daughter, Milana, she's four. She didn't take a nap yesterday because she was so excited to go to Gillette stadium. And as soon as I got there, I saw my sister. I was like, "We're going to have a meltdown at 5:00 PM." And it was 5:47, she's got a meltdown. We're walking back to the vehicle. She got a meltdown because her sister, Ekaterina, who's seven, went to spend the night at her cousin's house, and Milana started weeping. And I told her, "Baby, you just broken the commandment. Number 10. Thou shalt not covet your sister's sleepover. You wicked little sinner. You are to repent."Instead of repenting, she took a nap. Didn't get to the repentance. We've broken the law, Jesus has fulfilled the law, paid the penalty for our breaking the law. We believe in him, his righteousness gets counted to us, judicially, legally, and then we are to set out to live a life of obedience. That's true saving faith. That's Romans 1:5, that he wrote everything he wrote, Paul wrote everything he wrote for the obedience of faith.Matthew 7:24-27. "Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it."Andrew Klavan in The Truth and Beauty writes the following. "If you do not believe that life is more than life, it would be sadness to do anything but seize the day and live from pleasure to treasure. Better to kowtow tell to the money man and make your pile. Better to kill an inconvenient unborn child and live unfettered. Better to silence your opponents and seize their fortune than to live in mutual freedom. Better to ditch your promises to your spouse and have a sweet new affair. Better to trade your integrity for success and its trappings. Better to keep your head down and your mouth shut in times of danger. To choose instead the tragedy of love is to proclaim with your whole life that this kingdom of heaven within you is a kingdom that never ends. When your cross looms in front of you, it won't be enough to act as if there were a God. You will have to believe, or you will crater."That's saving faith. Saving faith is when we place our trust in Jesus Christ, his righteousness, and not our own, because we don't have enough, we'll never have enough to meet the holy demands of God. And when you trust in Jesus Christ, God judicially transfers the righteousness of Jesus to you. Our sins transferred to Christ, his righteousness is transferred to us. He takes off our sinful rags and he clothe us in his robe of righteousness.A few years ago, I went to buy a shirt at T.J.Maxx, a preaching shirt. It was white. I never do the fitting room, it's a waste the time. And I walk by faith, not by sight. So, I bought the shirt and I go home. I put it on and my wife's like, "What's that written on the back?" And I didn't even see. And it was like embroidered, gangster calligraphy. I don't know. And it said "King of Kings." I had to go preach and I was like, "Well, I don't have a shirt so let's do some theology." It's kind of arrogant to wear a shirt like this. I can pretend it doesn't say anything on the back, but people are observant. And then, I realized that this is what happens in the double exchange. He who knew no sin, Jesus, becomes our sin, our dirty rags are transferred to him. And then, his righteousness, we become his righteousness, so he clothe us in his robe of righteousness.Let's change the way you live. If you know that you are saved, that you are a Christian, that you are robed in the righteousness of Jesus, it changes the way you live. You walk around with a righteousness that is not your own and you want to do everything you possibly can to not dishonor it with sin. Romans 3:22-24. "For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus."We have all sinned. We've all missed, this is what sin means. It means you missed the mark. Hamartia. You missed the mark. The problem... What's the mark? The mark is the glory of God. God created us in his image so that we image forth his glory. We are created to live for God's glory, God's honor, God's reputation, not our own. And you know that you are a child of God, a follower of Jesus Christ, when God's glory is more important to you than your own, or God's reputation, God's honor is more important to you than your own. Here I've got to pause and ask the following. Dear Christian, are you paralyzed by the idol of being liked? That's why you're so nice to people and you're only nice to people. It's good to be nice to people, but once in a while, you have to speak truth in love because you love them, but you have to speak truth and that truth might come as a rude awakening like this."Dear friend, I love you so much. I want the best for you. I want you to meet God. And what's in the way? Your sin, your selfishness, your self absorption, your virtue signaling, your sin. You've broken the law. Oh, you don't believe me? Let's look through the 10 commandments. Oh, you don't even know them? Then, you definitely broken them. But Jesus Christ, God incarnate, came, lived, paid the price for your sin, died, rose from the dead. And all you have to do is place your faith and trust in him and then commit the rest of your life to him. And that is the only hope for you to be saved from the wrath of God for all of eternity, from hell, for all of eternity. So, receive the gift."That's not impolite. That's not rude, because you want the best thing for the person. Grace is a gift. What's the best gift you've ever received? If you're married, you better say it's your spouse. You have to, you have to, you have to. My wife and I have been married, coming up on sweet 16, praise God. We love going Ukraine, but we can't go there. Might go to Colorado. Grace is a gift. It's the greatest gift God gives, because if you receive grace, you get God. This one is infinity times better than any other gift. Verse 24. "And are justified by the grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins."Propitiation, do you know that word? Well, we learn stuff at church here at Mosaic because we love the word of God so we learned stuff. And if you can figure out how to order coffee at Starbucks, you can learn theology. Propitiation means to satisfy the demands of justice. In the biblical terms, is to satisfy the demands of God's wrath, the penalty for law breaking is God's wrath. When holy scripture talks about being saved, we're not saved from just Satan. We're saved by God from God. We're saved by God, Jesus Christ, from the Father's wrath on us. We're saved by God from God for God. And Christ is the substitute who took upon himself the wrath that we deserve by his blood to be received by faith. And God will only pass over your sins of Jesus has paved for them.Jesus Christ didn't die in the cross for everyone's sins. Did you know that? Not everyone's sins. Not everyone sins. Jesus Christ died for the sins of the elect, whom he had chose. I don't know who the elect are, so whenever anyone listens to my sermons, I just assume everyone's elect. You should just assume you're elect and repent your sins and follow Jesus. But if you reject Jesus Christ, know your sins are not paid for. You will pay for your own sins for all eternity. So, repent, receive the gift of justification by grace through faith. Romans 3:26. "It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus."The gospel isn't just pardon of sin because God can't just forgive sin. If God could just forgive sin, Jesus Christ wouldn't have to die in the cross. God is just and he does not forget his holiness when he forgives us. He's not just some congenial old guy in the clouds, lonely and wants us to spend eternity with him. No. God is holy and he never negotiates his holiness. He demands and requires that sin be punished. So, how can a just God forgive us? Well, the justice of God and his love and mercy, they mean for God's wrath is poured out on his son. His son is on that cross because he loves us and gave himself for us, and he absorbs the wrath of God. So, God remains just and the justifier. Repent, receive the gift of justification by grace through faith, and then what? Well then, humbly follow Jesus Christ daily.Romans 3:27. "Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith." There is not one thing that you have added to your salvation if you're saved other than your sin. That's the only thing. You did nothing to be justified by God. You did nothing. That why it's called grace. It's a gift. You did nothing. You can't do a thing. What do we have to be proud of? Nothing. That's why Christians and followers of God should be the most humble of people. "I am nothing. I am wicked sinner. I'm saved by grace through faith." But, we're also the most confident. We should be. Because, your identity is secure in Jesus Christ. You are a child of God by grace through faith, and the righteous shall be as bold as lions. So, stay humble. Do God's will.Verse 28. "For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, since God is one - who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law." He talked about the Jewish people in the text on last Sunday, and now here he says, look, God is one. There's not a God of the Jews and a God of the Muslims and a God of the Buddhist and the God of the Christians and the Catholics and the Orthodox. There's only one God. And if you do not have the Son, you do not have the Father. And if you do not have the Son or the Father, you do not have the spirit of God, because God is one. That's what he say.What does he do with the law? Do we get rid of the law? Do we overthrow it? No, by no means. On the contrary, we uphold the law. Faith doesn't overthrow the law. We don't get rid of the 10 commandments. Faith actually reestablishes the law. Do you know the 10 commandments are still enforced on every single one of us? That's why Jesus Christ, when he summarized what the law is and he pointed the 10 commandments and he said, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind. Love your neighbor as yourself." That's how you summarized the 10 commandments, but the 10 commandments are still enforced. Read the oracles of God, that's what the Bible calls the Bible. Study, understand, believe, and obey.Matthew 5:17-20. "Do not think that I've come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not in iota, not a dot, will pass away from the Law until all is accomplished. Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."Do you want to be great in the kingdom of heaven? Follow the Lord. And again, community with other followers of Jesus Christ. We need each other. We need each other to fight the good fight of faith, together to fight sin. And I'm not just talking about Christian friends. A lot of people come to Mosaic saying, "I have no friends. Give me friends." And I'm like, "That's why no one wants to be friends with you. You're desperate. I can smell it." We need brothers and sisters. We need spiritual family that will help us grow as followers of Christ. So, join the church as a coveted member, commit, and allow yourself to be held accountable, officially accountable, and share the gospel. The tremendous news that we can be justified by grace through faith in Christ, and share the gospel with your family, friends, neighbors.If you are not concerned about their eternal souls and their faith, are you even saved? And we have a responsibility to proclaim the truth in a world that hates it and insists that we all have our own truth. Jesus Christ didn't just come to save you from the wrath of God. He also came to give you life, true life, and the fullness of life. Imagine living life without guilt, without shame. Imagine living life with a clean conscience. I slept the soundest I've ever slept in my whole life last night, which is a miracle because before Easter I always get nervous and I'm like, "I'm out of emotions, no more." And then, I woke up today, it was like the most tremendous sleep in my life. And then, a verse came to mind and it says, "God gives sleep to whom he loves." I was like, "Thank you, Lord. You love me. Praise God. Can we do it again tomorrow?"Imagine living a life where the spirit of God courses through you. Imagine living a life of eternal meaning, purpose, significance. Is this life easy? No, it's not. I'm actually 25. This life is not easy. This is the hardest thing you will ever do, but you get God, and God is with you. And the spirit of God is with you. And that's all that matters. Jesus lived, Jesus died, Jesus came back from the dead to show us the way, to tell us the truth, and to give us life. And also, don't forget, love. Everything he did, he did because he was motivated by love for God and love for people. The last supper, right before he gets on his knees and washes the dirty feet of his disciples, it said having loved his own who were in the world. He loved them to the end. That's true love.The love of this world does not love to the end because the love of this world is in love. It chews you up and spits you out when it's done with you. The love of this world is transactional. You're used for what you're good for. And when the time comes, you're done, you're canceled. There's no grace. There's no forgiveness. There's just perpetual confession and reparation. That's our culture. There's no grace, because there's no Christ. His story was a life that was beset on all sides by pain and suffering. He's a man of sorrows, emotional, mental, spiritual suffering. He was tired, hungry, misunderstood, mistreated, even by his friends and family. Betrayed, denied by those closest to him. But, he was obedient to the will of the Father.And because he was obedient to the will of the Father, that's why he died. It wasn't just the physical pain that killed Jesus Christ. Jesus died because the Father withdrew his love. "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Instead of love, all he got in the cross was wrath and hatred. Our Lord, though he died on the cross, did not die of the cross. He died of a broken heart, suffering for you. I'll never forget a sermon by Pastor Andy Davis who texted me right after I said this in my first sermon. He texted me. He's like, "Huh? Spirit of God, baby." Pastor Andy Davis, one of my mentor. I remember a sermon on Colossians where it says, the text is, "In Christ, all things hold together," and he said, "On the cross, Jesus Christ was keeping the nails together." The nails that were nailed through his hands and his feet, he was keeping them together. And he was keeping the cross together. He was keeping Golgotha together, he was keeping it all together, because he's God and God is love. So, Christ is love.Love is what keeps everything together, and love is the heart of the gospel. It's the greatest story ever told. It's the most tremendous news. That's what the gospel is. When you placed your trust in this man, Jesus Christ, who is God, God who chose to come down into the filth, into the dirt, into just the heartbreak of life, the human existence, and he died a criminal's death on a cross, the very moment you trust in him, your sins are all forgiven. You're loved. You're welcomed into the family of God. You're no longer spiritual orphan. You're adopted, and you are free and you will be transformed to bring that story of love into the lives of every person you'll ever encounter in this world, through your life, through your words, through your deeds, sharing Jesus' life and story.This is meaning, this is fulfillment. This is Jesus. That's truth. That's beauty. That's life. So yes, your end is near, but thanks be to God, your eternity is secure. When you die, you are just in heaven for all of eternity by the grace of God, because he will love you to the end and you can't even squirm out of his grasp. He's already proven his love for you, by living, by dying, and by rising from the dead. He is risen. He is risen. He is risen. Now live like it. And love like it. Let's pray.Lord Jesus, we thank you that you are the Great Conqueror. Our Lord, our Savior, our King, our Substitute, our Propitiation, our Shepherd, the word of God, the light of God. You are the truth. Lord, we repent that often we've rejected the truth. It's too inconvenient. We've rejected the light because we like our sins. We repent of all this Lord and we pray. Cleanse our mind and our heart. Purify our souls. Fill us with the Holy Spirit, and make us a people fervent for you, living for your glory, sharing your gospel, building your kingdom. And we pray all this in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Dr. Rob Pape, DC talks to Dr. Justin Trosclair, DC on A Doctor's Perspective Podcast Quadrant analysis helps practitioners navigate treatment based on a subclassification system breaking down biomechanical failure into traceable patterns. Dr. Pape was evidence based and patient centered before these were buzz words and before the internet made it easy to collaborate. It was like being on a chiropractic island and taking trips with different professions to iron out what he was seeing work. What is the reason that some doctors blame the patient when they don't get the results that the doctor assumes you would get? Should this be taught in schools with diagnosis and student clinic so they can apply these concepts (not cookie cutter programs)? This can help bridge the gap from being excellent at diagnosis and bridging all the techniques you know with practical application based on what the patient presents. Test - Treat - ReTest Are they hyper-mobile?Do they have Systemic Inflammation? (abdominal sub-classification)What's their motor control with dynamic stability like?Regional interdependence also plays a part We really are missing key components to injury and relief if we only focus on the area of chief complaint. When asking about ‘magical' areas that tend to be overlooked... what is his answer? Can we say mechanical dysfunction and drop the ‘subluxation' word? Dr Rob Pape may not have easy answers but he has easy ways to ask better questions. Do you want a n=1 shirt, hoodie, mug etc? Then head over to my spreadshirt account and pick one up. Codifying how you process and work on patients, while actually working on patients is a difficult endeavor but he managed to compile the quadrant analysis system and hopes you will see it as a way to be more efficient and effective with your patients. Pain with normal range of motion could be hypermobility or random pain all over, tender to touch, massage and exercise may make it worse could be systemic inflammation are just a few of the ideas you learn about in quadrant analysis. Relationship Advice: When you are having important conversations, slow it down and really listen and actively listen to fully understand what the other person is saying. The thing you are UPSET about, if you slow down, is probably something on Your End that You need to Own. Take time off - build a practice and a lifestyle that you can pre-plan vacations for the year. Here are links to his Quadrant Analysis courses. https://southeast-sports-seminars.thinkific.com/courses/quadrant-analysis-movement https://practice-mechanics.com/quadrant-analysis/ We discussed the anterior neck and here is a video on Practice Mechanics showing the basics of how Dr. Rob Pape approaches that. https://practice-mechanics.com/anterior-neck-manual-treatment/ As a summary and bridge to southeast seminars here is how all 3 fit together. You would take Dr. Riddle's FAKTR course to learn the myofascial release, cupping, bands etc and then transition the patient into rehab to fitness and functional loading with Dr. Teter. However you would learn Dr. Pape's Quadrant Analysis (breaking the body down into traceable patterns) to make a diagnosis and find functional deficits and patterns to apply those other two seminars to get the results.
