Do you live with the freedom of Christ?

God created each of us with free will, and we are each designed to desire freedom. Yet, every generation has had people who are enslaved in some ways. Some have been enslaved, but most submit their freedoms because of their personal choices. Paul described slavery as a “yoke.” The yoke was a heavy burden placed on the neck of an animal so it could then be forced to walk a certain path and work for someone else. Another type of yoke during that day was used to keep prisoners chained. When Paul wrote to the Galatians, he was speaking to some who had been unable to lay down the many Jewish laws of the Old Covenant and step into the freedom Christ had provided in the New Covenant. Paul was also speaking to some who had come to the Christian faith from a Gentile background. Before their salvation, they had been “free” to behave in some pagan practices they now knew were wrong. Their desire to keep some of their pagan practices had enslaved them to their wrong choices. The same is true for God’s people today. Our sin entangles our lives, and our consequences burden us with a yoke of slavery. If we stand firm in our faith, we can be free of those burdens. Paul encouraged all of them to seek the freedom Christ offered. Christians have freely chosen Jesus to be our Savior and Lord. We are truly free when we stand firm in our faith, when we choose to walk through life “in step with God’s Spirit” (Galatians 5:25). When you allow the word of Christ to dwell in you richly, you are most able to stand firm in your faith and live as the Lord intended. It was for freedom that Christ has set us free.

Why is wisdom a powerful weapon?

Those who do the work of the ministry understand that we are increasingly at “war” with the values and goals the world teaches. One of the earliest pictures in Scripture is the battle between Cain and Abel. Throughout Scripture we see God’s people advancing his cause through battles and defending their cause for the sake of his Kingdom purpose. Paul wrote, “For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ” (Galatians 1:10). If you want to serve God, it will be difficult not to accrue some animosity along the way. That’s why the advice of Proverbs 24:5–6 should be considered and highly valued. The proverb teaches God’s people to be wise because that places us at a position of strength and might. A person who knows God has increased their spiritual power so they can “wage war” against the world’s ideas that are counter to God’s plans and priorities. Satan has always been and will always be at work in the world perverting or redefining God’s word and will. God’s wisdom is our best guidance that will help us wage war against Satan and his armies. We don’t wage war alone. As the author of the proverbs says, “In an abundance of counselors there is victory.” The armed services have a “ranking” system for a reason. Some soldiers have the wisdom and experience to lead others into a battle and are given positions like sergeants, generals, or admirals. Others go to battle by following the direction of others. Victory depends on everyone fulfilling their important role. You have probably sung the hymn lyric, “Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus, going on before.” Christians are to follow our Lord into whatever battle he calls us toward. We are called to be soldiers and serve our General. We serve in an army that has already been promised victory. Good advice and careful instruction provide wisdom. As we gain wisdom, we gain spiritual might and, when necessary, we are able to wage war against anything that stands against God’s truth. We can sing the wisdom of the hymn hearing the call, “onward Christian soldier.” Wisdom is our powerful weapon in an important war.

Can you trust American institutions? A conversation with Curtis Chang

Curtis Chang joins Dr. Mark Turman to discuss our failing trust in institutions and how to redeem them, the role of Christians in politics and the workplace, election integrity, and how to combat anxiety. Show notes: Curtis Chang begins by talking about his ministry Redeeming Babel, which trains Christians to engage redemptively in different kinds of communities (2:19). Chang talks about the rising distrust of institutions, and how we can help redeem them, specifically pointing to Colossians 1:15–17 (9:47). In particular, Chang and Dr. Turman talk about work and the role of jobs in Christianity (20:27). They talk about the Trinity and how it helps us understand community (29:14). Chang delves more into how we can trust broken institutions, and how throwing them away will probably lead to greater destruction (38:00). They turn to converse about idolatry, politics, election integrity, and the boundaries of governments (48:53). Chang concludes by touching on anxiety and fear (58:37).

Do you choose to invest your life in God’s work?

Paul wrote the letter we know as 2 Timothy while confined to a prison he knew would likely lead to his death. These last words to Timothy, his protégé, have always been especially poignant. Paul was writing to Timothy about what he should expect in the “last days” from people who were godless. Paul described them as “always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth” (3:7). He then taught Timothy how to live differently from those who didn’t know God. Paul’s lesson to Timothy can be summed up in this way: “Remember what you have learned from me, from your family, and from others. We have taught you God’s truth.” That’s when Paul reminded Timothy that “all Scripture is breathed out by God and is profitable” to every area of our lives. Scripture is how God equips his children to accomplish the good work he has called us to do. If a financial investment came with a guaranteed return, we would do our best to be included. Scripture offers our lives a promise. If we invest our lives in God’s word, there will be a profit. If we want to fill our lives with “good work,” then we should fill our lives first with God’s word. Paul wanted Timothy to understand that the foundation of his ministry needed to be the word of God. When Paul wrote his letter he had no idea that he would continue to teach countless generations the important truth he taught his first-century protégé. The same Scripture that grounded Timothy’s ministry serves the Lord’s disciples today. The Lord gives wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. The words of your Bible were “breathed out” by God himself, and he has promised to use them to profit your life and ministry when you invest in his truth.

For what will you be eternally grateful?

How would you finish this sentence: “I will always be grateful for . . . ”? We have spent the month of November learning the wisdom of leading a life filled with gratitude for God. As we look ahead to December, is there anything or anyone higher on our list than Jesus? I will always be grateful to God for loving the world so much that he gave us his only Son. I will always be grateful that Jesus, though despising the cross, accepted its shame so that God could accept ours. I will always be grateful for the people who invested their knowledge of Jesus into a young, inexperienced pastor’s wife so that I could grow in wisdom and knowledge and in favor with God. I will always be grateful for God’s calling in my life to share his word and help others know the love and grace of God through Christ Jesus. I will always be grateful for God’s word that has carried me with the power of truth through some difficult days. I will always be grateful to God for blessing my life with more than I would ever have asked for or imagined. I will always be grateful to God for allowing me to finish my life with the assurance of my eternity in heaven. Wisdom is offering our gratitude to God. Will you take some time on this last day of November and make your list? You can wisely lay it at the foot of the throne as your sacrificial offering of praise to the One who deserves all praise. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
