    Social Sway: Resisting The Old Ways | Galatians 4:8-9

    Social Sway: Resisting The Old Ways | Galatians 4:8-9

    Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods. But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more? — Galatians 4:8-9
    CALL OUT: I want to give a shout-out to Andrew Leck from Rosehill, KS. Thanks so much for your partnership in the Gospel. Your generosity is much appreciated.
    Paul thinks it is incomprehensible that believers would return to their weak and worthless ways. He cannot understand how they would go back to their old patterns and practices after knowing God and being known by him. He states it's as illogical as a slave who is freed, given sonship, and extended riches, and then returns to his former slavery.
    Even though this return is idiotic, we all know this is possible given the right amount of social pressure.
    This is because our social environments play a significant role in what we believe. Constant exposure to the same ideas, images, and messages will affect us. For example, if you are a recovering addict who is only spending time with other users, there's a pressure to conform that will eventually trigger those old patterns. Or, if you are working in corporate America and are constantly being conditioned by ideologies, agendas, training, and planned programs that you are forced to celebrate and promote, even though they are opposed to your faith, you will eventually buy into them.
    Eventually, you will be influenced by those around you. You can only hold the line so long before their attitudes and behaviors sway you. Immersing yourself in social environments where ungodly principles are celebrated and taught makes it increasingly challenging to resist their influence. The constant barrage of contrary messages will eventually erode your resolve and weaken your commitment to the Gospel truth. And then, you will cave, which is what the believers in the region of Galatia have done. They bought the woke lie.
    This is why believers need to do two things. First, we need to be in God's Word every day. We are doing that right here, renewing our minds with the Gospel Truth. Second, we need to be in the company of other believers. The influence of believers in our lives needs to proportionately outweigh the impact of unbelievers. For some, this may mean getting more involved in your local church or joining a small group. But it may also mean breaking free from some social environments and relationships affecting you. Some of you need to cut these relationships off and remove yourself from these environments.
    The challenge today is this: change your environment before your environment changes you.
    #FreedomInChrist #ResistThePull #RenewYourMind #ChooseYourInfluence #GuardYourHeart
    ASK THIS:
    How can you intentionally prioritize spending time in environments that strengthen your faith and resist those that weaken it? Reflect on any social circles or relationships in your life that may be subtly influencing you away from your commitment to the Gospel. What steps can you take to change your environment to align more closely with God's truth? DO THIS: Change your environment in some small way.
    PRAY THIS: Father, help me to remain steadfast in Your truth and resist the pull of worldly influences. Guide me in choosing environments and relationships that strengthen my faith and honor You. Amen.
    PLAY THIS: Changed.

    The Forgotten Significance of the Spirit | Galatians 4:6-7

    The Forgotten Significance of the Spirit | Galatians 4:6-7

    And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God. — Galatians 4:6-7
    CALL OUT: I want to give a shout-out to Larry Wargel from Columbia, SC. Thanks so much for your partnership in the Gospel. Your generosity is much appreciated.
    The Spirit is easily one of the most neglected topics in the church. Yet for Paul, the Spirit is significant and central. He is the sign of our sonship—not works of the flesh (e.g., circumcision) but the searing of our hearts by his Spirit. This is not something we do. It's something Christ did at the moment we believed. The Spirit was "sent into our hearts" with a clarion cry.
    This made me wonder if we resort to works-based righteousness because we are unaware of the Spirit that God seared into us. We lack awareness of his searing and spiritual work. This is what Paul is doing here, he is making the church aware of the Spirit within them.
    So let me do the same for you. If you believe in Jesus as your Savior and Lord, the Spirit of God lives in you. The sign of the Father is seared upon you, signifying your sonship. The Spirit makes you an infinitely rich son. There is no other thing you need, and there is nothing else you can do that will alter or increase this status. But you do need to learn to rely upon and rest in the Spirit. But it all begins by becoming aware that the Spirit of God lives in you. So acknowledge the Spirit today. Invite him to convict, teach, intercede, guide, comfort, and reveal the truth today.
    God, thank you for the Spirit you have sent into us. Help me to become more aware of his presence, and help me listen to him as he convicts, teaches, intercedes, guides, comforts, and reveals the truth. Amen.
    #SpiritualSonship #SpiritWithin #DivineInheritance #AwarenessOfGod #EmbracingTheSpirit
    ASK THIS:
    How does the awareness of the Spirit's presence within you change your perspective on your identity and inheritance as a child of God? In what practical ways can you invite the Spirit to work in your life today, trusting in His guidance, comfort, and truth? DO THIS: Invite the Spirit to work.
    PRAY THIS: Father, thank you for sealing me with your Spirit and making me your son. Help me to live each day aware of His presence and reliant on His guidance, comfort, and truth. Amen.
    PLAY THIS: Holy Spirit.

    Sons Not Slaves | Galatians 4:1-5

    Sons Not Slaves | Galatians 4:1-5

    I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. — Galatians 4:1-5
    CALL OUT: I want to give a shout-out to the 1300 men at Men's Advance from Alexandria, MN. Thanks for letting me be with you over the weekend.
    If you remember back a few days, Paul had compared the Law to a "prison warden" and a "pedagogue." Now, he compares it to “guardians and managers” whose job was to supervise until the date of their status had ended.
    Here's Paul's illustration.
    There was a long period of time when your Father (God) used the Law to guard and manage you. During this time, you were like a son who was no different from a slave. You had borne the title "son" but were being guarded and managed, just like a "slave." However, that time is done. The "fullness of your time" as a son has come. You (the sons of Abraham) are now of age through the Father's provision of his Son born under the law, which frees you as slaves and adopts you as sons with all the rights of a pure-blooded heir.
    Here's Paul's point in context.
    In the same way, the Law was your former guardian and manager. But now that you are heirs, you don't serve the same guardian and manager. In fact, it would look foolish for you, as a pure-blooded heir adopted as a son, to go back to serving under a guardian and manager when you don't need one. You have a Father, a family, and the freedom to live as sons.
    Here's Paul's exhortation for the believers in Galatia:
    The discipleship and discipline of the Law had its time. Its purpose was to train and teach you the way of righteousness. But there comes a point when you no longer need this guardian and manager. By faith, the Father has adopted you as full heirs into his family. So don't go back to the old patterns of living like a slave when you are a son. Circumcision under the Law is one of those old signs that add nothing to your salvation by faith as heirs.
    Here's the exhortation for you today.
    By faith, you are an adopted son. By faith, you are a full heir of his righteousness. By faith, you are a son of the living God. If this is the case, why do you immediately return that voice of shame in moments of sin? Why do you let your shame rule over your sonship?
    This is similar to what the Galatians were doing. They were using former behaviors to fortify their current relationship. But when you let shame rule over your sonship, you are returning to the slavery of the Law.
    Stop listening to the voice of shame and letting it rule over you. Preach back to this voice, "I am no longer a slave to sin. I am a child of God." Consider singing this song to yourself. I posted it below.
    #FromSlaveryToSonship #EmbracingAdoption #NoLongerSlaves #IdentityInChrist #FreedByFaith
    ASK THIS:
    How does recognizing ourselves as adopted sons of God change the way we view our struggles with sin and shame?
    In what areas of our lives do we still tend to revert to a "slave mentality" instead of embracing our identity as sons of God, and how can we actively shift our perspective in those areas?
    DO THIS: Tell your shame, "I am no longer a slave to sin. I am a child of God."
    PRAY THIS: Father, thank you for adopting me as your son and freeing me from the bondage of sin and shame. Help me to live confidently in my identity as your child, rejecting the voice of shame and embracing the freedom you've given me through Christ. Amen.
    PLAY THIS: No Longer Slaves.

    Faithful In Your Impossible Situation | Daniel 2:1-3

    Faithful In Your Impossible Situation | Daniel 2:1-3

    GET THE BOOK: Daniel: A Strong Man Is Faithful here https://amzn.to/3ToZqOk
    What impossible situation do you need to bring to God today?
    In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; his spirit was troubled, and his sleep left him. Then the king commanded that the magicians, the enchanters, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans be summoned to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king. And the king said to them, "I had a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream." — Daniel 2:1-3
    I don't know about you, but there have been seasons of my life that have been troubled by my dreams. They tend to happen when my anxiety is high, and they are vivid and memorable, which is Nebuchadnezzar's experience here. He had a very vivid dream, which troubled his spirit and even prevented him from finding sleep.
    Yet, in the case of Nebuchadnezzar, we know that God gave him these dreams. God troubled him with ideas and images that were so vivid he knew there was a meaning behind them. So, what he wants from his seers is the meaning of the dream. But not just that. He wants them to tell him the details of a dream he has not told, which is a pretty impossible order.
    Have you ever been in a situation where someone has projected their anxiety onto you, demanding your help with an impossible task?
    I hate to say it, but I encounter this situation every day. 
    Every day, I talk to some man who finds themselves in an impossible predicament. They come to me with problems I cannot solve. Marriages in a mess. Careers in chaos. Families in ruin. Addictions that overwhelm them. And guess what? I feel the weight of these projected anxieties. More than anything, I would love to remove their anxiety and repair the situation so they can find sleep and peace again. But I can't. 
    But there is one thing I can do—and it’s something we can all do. We can ask a God who does impossible things to make what is impossible for us possible.
    In Matthew 19:26, Jesus said: "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." 
    If, at this moment, like Daniel, you are standing before an impossible situation, stop fretting about it and ask God to intervene. There is nothing impossible for him. Have faith. Be faithful. Trust in a faithful God.
    God, today, make what is impossible for me possible. I acknowledge you are able, and I am unable. In Jesus’s name, amen.

    Beyond Your Messed Up Family | Galatians 3:29

    Beyond Your Messed Up Family | Galatians 3:29

    And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise. — Galatians 3:29
    CALL OUT: I want to give a shout-out to Mark Robinson from Slidell, LA, who is using our book 30 Men Who Lived With Conviction with his men. Thanks for leading men. We need men of conviction in the world today. Thanks for being that man.
    Yesterday, we learned how to exegete the previous verse more accurately than many do. We learned that our spiritual oneness in Christ is a status received by faith and celebrated in baptism. It superseded but did not absolve our ethnicity, status, and gender. The great part of being a believer is the blessing of a unified spiritual family.
    God knows you want and need a family. God knows your family is messed up. God sees the disobedience of your parents. God sees the rebellion of your children. God knows your family is infested with adultery, perversion, addiction, and abuse. God knows the pain of your broken relationships. He also knows the shame you've had to endure and its effects on everyone in your life. And in the shadow of all this darkness, God had a bright plan. His divine providence is so great he knew thousands of years ago that you would endure this. He saw how messed up your family would be, so he made a promise to a man named Abraham. The promise of a new family planned for you, paid for in blood.
    In Christ, you have a family—a spiritual family full of messed-up people redeemed by the Father.
    If this is the case, you need to attend church and enjoy the blessing.
    I know some churches are ridden with issues. Sometimes, these issues exhaust us. Even so, removing ourselves entirely is never the solution. Like Paul, we have to fight through the problems. Paul is fighting at this moment because he knows the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. He needs the family. The family needs him. It's not his family. It's God's. It has all kinds of blessings when it works well. God planned this family for you. So get to church. Get to know your family and receive the blessing planned and prepared for you in Christ.
    #AbrahamsOffspring #FamilyInChrist #RedeemedRelationships #ChurchCommunity #BlessedBelonging
    ASK THIS:
    Reflecting on your own journey, how has embracing your identity as a member of God's spiritual family impacted your perspective on the brokenness within your biological family? Considering the challenges you face in your church community, what steps can you take to actively participate in and contribute to the blessings of fellowship and unity that God has prepared for His family? DO THIS: Go to church.
    PRAY THIS: Father, thank you for the incredible blessing of belonging to Your spiritual family through Christ. Help me to actively engage with and contribute to my church community, embracing the blessings of fellowship and unity You have prepared for us. Amen.

    Exegesis Over Eisegesis: Spiritual Unity | Galatians 3:28

    Exegesis Over Eisegesis: Spiritual Unity | Galatians 3:28

    There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. — Galatians 3:28
    CALL OUT: I want to give a shout-out to Chris DeBoer in Peachtree, GA, who is a new monthly partner. I am thankful for you, Chris, and all who support us monthly and faithfully.
    So many people have taken this text entirely out of context. They use it to leverage ideological positions that this Scripture does not endorse. Let me be clear: This text in no way advocates for social equality and inclusion. It does not promote the fair treatment, opportunity, and acceptance of all individuals regardless of their background, identity, or circumstances. However, please do not hear me say this text endorses racism, slavery, economic oppression, and gender fluidity. It does not endorse either side of this argument because these issues are not what this text is about.
    Here is why: This text does not speak about social equality. It is speaking about spiritual equality.
    Sometimes, when we read Scripture, we are going to be tempted to read into a text from our own cultural perspective. This is called eisegesis. Eisegesis is an interesting word. It is a compound Greek word that forms one word and meaning. "Eis" means "into."  "Egesis" means "interpretation." Thus, eisegesis is when we interpret a text by reading into it our own presumptions and biases. This is something we should always avoid when reading Scripture. It is easy and tempting to do, especially when you have strong beliefs and convictions about specific social issues. There are people in our time who have some pretty strong opinions on social issues. They are triggered when they hear social references to race, ethnicity, economic disparity, slavery, and gender. Thus, it is very hard for them to put these ideas aside when reading the Scripture. When they encounter a text like this one that seems to defend or dismiss their position, they will pounce all over it.
    On the other hand, a skilled student of the Scripture exegetes the text. Exegesis is another compound word. "Ex" means "out from." Thus, exegesis is when we draw out the meaning of a text from the text. It's understanding what the text is saying based on its own words, context, and historical background instead of adding your own ideas. You're trying to uncover the original meaning intended by the author.
    So, if we exegete this text correctly, we will draw out the author's intent instead of importing, imputing, and inserting our intent. So let's do that. But let's reread the text:
    "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
    First, Paul lists three subordinate groupings that are transcended in Christ. They are ethnicity (Jew/Greek), economic status (slave/free), and gender (male/female). Paul never suggests that these categories cease to exist or are no longer a present reality. Our ethnicity, status, and gender are a part of our human existence. But there is something that supersedes them. This leads to Paul making one positive assertion. We (i.e., believers) experience a oneness (i.e., spiritual unity) found only in Christ. Our unity is not found in this world. It is made possible and encountered only in union with Christ. This means our spiritual unity takes precedence over social identity in Christ.
    If we now carefully place this exegesis into the greater context of the chapter, it will provide even more precise meaning. Paul says our spiritual oneness in Christ is a status received by faith, celebrated in baptism, superseding but not absolving our ethnicity, economic status, and gender. Spirit-filled believers enjoy the blessing of living in a new spiritual family that comes with serious spiritual blessings. The blessing is found in the next verse, which we will read together tomorrow.
    This is a sound exegesis of this text. As you can see, it d
