    What The Good Life Really Is

    Welcome to episode 236 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, Pastor Drew continues our study entitled Kingdom Logic. Today we will cover: • What the Good Life really is. • “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 5:3 Key Takeaways: · The Good Life is not normal — it is faith-full. · The world defines the good life as normal, but normal is wicked and chaff. · The Blessed Life comes from God to the faithful. · The Good Life delights in God’s Word — faithful people pray and read Scripture. · The Beatitudes are a self-portrait of Jesus. · The Beatitudes are also a portrait of us that is still being completed. · Poor in spirit means recognizing one’s spiritual poverty before God. · There is no middle ground — rich in pride or poor in spirit. · God opposes the proud. · Poor in spirit is the starting point. · The blessing of poverty in spirit is the kingdom of heaven. Quotable: · “The Good Life is not normal — it’s faith-full.” · “The Beatitudes are a self-portrait of Jesus and a portrait of us that is still being completed.” · “Poor in Spirit is the starting point.” · “There is no middle ground.” Application: · Reject normal — pursue faithfulness. · Become an empty vessel before God. · Recognize your spiritual poverty instead of living rich in pride. · Delight in God’s Word — pray and walk in the Spirit. · Make the daily choice to walk in Kingdom Logic.

    Digital Discipleship

    Welcome to episode 235 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we will examine the topic of digital discipleship.    Key takeaways:    Technology isn’t just a tool we use; it’s a tool that uses us—or more precisely, it shapes our habits, expectations, attention, and relationships. If we don’t anchor identity in Christ, we will anchor it in public approval, and that becomes a new form of slavery. Sometimes what looks like a “spiritual problem” is also a formed habit problem—people are exhausted and overstimulated. The challenge isn't to reject technology completely, but to use it in ways that honor God and build His kingdom.   Quotable:    We become what we repeatedly do.    Application:    The phrase "think on these things" means to calculate, consider carefully, or meditate on. It's an accounting term—we should carefully evaluate what we allow into our minds through screens. The battle for your life is won or lost in your thought life. Guard your mind with the same vigilance you'd guard your home. There is no "off the clock" for the Christian. Your social media isn't a "free zone" where different rules apply. The same Lord who sees you in worship sees you on Facebook at 11 PM. You wouldn't let a thief into your house to steal your possessions. Why do you voluntarily hand him your phone and let him steal your hours? Evaluate your screen time with one question:  Is this helping me love God and love my neighbor—or training me to love myself and the world?   Connect with us:    Web site:  https://springbaptist.org    Facebook:    https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus)    https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus)    Need us to pray for you?
