Another Chance Podcast: Bible Study “Training to Triumph”

The Another Chance Podcast Series illustrates the fact that The Everlasting Father is not just a God of a second chance, He’s the God of Another Chance.

This podcast series is dedicated to encourage your faith in Messiah Jesus, and equip you to be the follower He would have you to be.

In the current episode I team up with my buddy Jeff “The Swimming Monk” Langskov.  Jeff received another chance after his last cancer surgery. Ever since then he’s put aside every hindrance to tell people about the saving grace of Jesus the Messiah.

Jeff’s a Bible scholar and he’s going to be a regular feature on Another Chance. He and I lead a Bible Study each Saturday attended by men from around the world on Zoom. We love equipping these guys with God’s Word, just as we will love doing the same for you.

Below you will find the notes I presented to our men, as well as Jeff’s extensive notes on the subject as well.


                                                             Men’s Bible Study – February 13, 2021

                                                             Training to Triumph! Pt. 3

Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise (Proverbs 19:20)


As we venture into another week of unpacking the important concept of becoming disciplined disciples,
remember this: God’s discipline is not punishment, it’s training.
Opening Question: Over the past 2-weeks was there anything in your “chat room”
that has really stuck with you?

                                                                                    —————–

Discipline Through the Hard Times
– Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?(Hebrews 12:7).

– Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 2:3).

Question: How has the Lord used various forms of personal hardship to build your character?


Testing our Faith, Building Perseverance

– Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything (James 1:2-4).

– …we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance (Romans 5:3).

– Therefore, among God’s churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring (2 Thessalonians 1:4).

Questions: Describe some of the “trials of many kinds” you have experienced–how did they test your faith?
How has personal perseverance matured your walk with God?

 

Discipline through Temptation

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be temptedbeyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it (1 Corinthians 10:13).
Question: Temptation is unavoidable, but how can Jesus-based discipline help you evade certain tempting situations?

Discipline: The Follow Through

Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like (James 1:22-24).
Question: How do we become men who apply the Word of God into all aspects of our lives?

Discipline: Training to Slay Giants
David had undergone years of hard discipline and training prior to facing off and slaying Goliath. This account from 2ndSamuel is meant to encourage and equip us for all of the battles we may face:
King Saul says to young David: “You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.” But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God.The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine” (2 Samuel 17:33-37).
Questions: What positive disciplinary traits were instilled into your life even prior to coming to know Jesus as Savior?  What discipline/s do you possess that can help your brothers?
What Goliaths are attempting to stand in the way of the plan God has for your life?

________________________________

Jeff’s Extensive Notes:

Intro: The definition of ‘discipline’…All boiled down, at least in my mind, is this “As necessary, in accordance with God’s sovereign good will, discipline is the willingness to embrace pain and defer pleasure until the appropriate time of reward and celebration”.  I primarily get this from a couple sources in Scripture:

 

First, Heb.12:1-2…which basically says “Jesus endured the cross for the joy set before Him.” 12 Therefore, since we also have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let’s rid ourselves of every obstacle and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking only at Jesus, the originator and perfecter of the faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God…V11 For the moment, ALL discipline seems not to be pleasant, but painful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.

 

“Discipline” is a critical phase or step within the whole realm of Christian ‘spiritual formation” …which is the purpose of “being conformed to the likeness of Christ” with the goal being to “glorify God and enjoy Him forever”.

 

There is a divine “rhythm” in Scripture that includes the following Three truths …all of which begin with the letter “D”…each of these 3 truths perpetually and synergistically and kinetically  feed off each other in a very creative and dynamic manner.

 

(I came up with this slogan when my boys were young and involved in sports…the coaches knew I was a pastor and they would ask me to give “pep” talks or “motivational “ speeches to the baseball, football or basketball teams.)

 

3-D Discipleship

  • DESIRE…Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but desire realized is a tree of life. Which “tree” do we desire to eat from? The tree of the knowledge of good and evil or the tree of eternal life in Christ Jesus.  We must understand we have two campfires in us….we have the campfire of fellowship with Jesus on the road to His home and we have the campfire of Peter in the court of this world where we curse and  “deny the Lordship of Jesus” by yielding to our ungodly desires.
  • DISCIPLINE…requires a structure or an arena of verbal instruction, tools or equipment for training and opportunities or labs for testing.
  • DELIGHT…is both the motive and the reward of godly desires.

 

Ps.40:8

I delight to do Your will, my God; Your Law is within my heart.”

Heb.1: 9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;

Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You

With the oil of joy above Your companions.”

Scientifically, All Three of these words have Kinetic Energy relative to the principle of “motion” or “momentum”…an object in motion tends to stay in motion, an object at rest tends to stay at rest.  The amount of Kinetic energy released in proportional to the MASS of the object in motion. More Mass more Energy.

Desire: is the inner stirring of human spirit to do or achieve something.  This is why Jesus put such a premium focus on “hunger and thirst” for having a right relationship with God and people…His promise…”they will be satisfied” (or delighted, blessed).

Phil 2:12 So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who is at work in you, both to desire and to work for His good pleasure.

Discipline: THE Engagement phase…it  is the volitional, mental and physical or corporeal response of the body to direct that desire towards its intended goal.  These “spiritual “ disciplines….Jesus taught “obedience” was only complete with ‘action’.  He taught “when” you pray….”when” you fast…”when you give”…when you forgive, forgive from the heart etc.

Richard Foster, a theologian from the Quaker tradition. “The Celebration of Discipline” top 10 most influential books of the 20th century.

Inner disciplines: praying, fasting, watching, meditation, study,

Outward: solitude/silence, simplicity, and submission

corporates disciplines : of confession and worship

Delight: is the resulting character forged in the process of combining Desire plus Discipline….this delight can be sustained joy, love, righteousness, perseverance, gentleness…the character of Jesus manifest in the specific fruit of the Spirit.

 Blessed is the one you discipline, Lord, the one you teach from your law; you grant them relief from days of trouble (Psalm 94:12-13 NIV).

  • Context: God will avenge His enemies on behalf of His people. Vengeance belongs to the Lord. The wicked will not go unpunished. We must embrace the truth that the Sword of the Lord will accomplish His justice not our political or military sword.  “some boast in chariots and some in horses, but we will trust in the name of our LORD”.

Lord, God of vengeance,

God of vengeance, shine forth!

2 Rise up, Judge of the earth,

Pay back retribution to the proud.

3 How long, Lord, shall the wicked—

How long shall the wicked triumph?

4 They pour out words, they speak arrogantly;

All who do injustice boast.

5 They crush Your people, Lord,

And afflict Your inheritance.

  • The issue is “a blessed man” in the midst of great adversity around him, turns to the Lord in repentance and receives His correction from the word of God. Like a a “lone mourning dove” sitting on the peak of rooftop or the branch of tree,
  • The High Ground is humility marked by a teachable spirit in our current state of affairs in both the USA, worldwide and with in the Church itself.
  • Judgement begins in the household of God…God’s people’s best bet is ‘repentance’ to find grace, mercy and peace from the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • A Disciplined man turns to the Lord when all hell is breaking loose and embraces chaos as a season by which God trains his character to TRUST in the Lord’s righteousness and faithfulness.

As disciples of The Messiah, God appoints discipline upon us in order to build character into our lives.
This study is designed to enlighten, encourage, and equip us to be the mighty men our Father desires us to become.

God’s Discipline: Proof of our Salvation.
My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline (MUSAR)and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. (Proverbs 3:11-12; Heb.12:5).

 GK: PAIDEIA

HELPS Word-studies

3811 paideúō (from 3816 /país, “a child under development with strict training”) – properly, to train up a child (3816 /país), so they mature and realize their full potential (development). This requires necessary discipline (training), which includes administering chastisement (punishment).

 3811 /paideúō (“to instruct by training”) is the root of the English terms, “pedagogue, pedagogy.”

[Our English word “chasten” comes from “Latin castus, pure, chaste, and means to purify, cf. Heb 12:6f” (WP, 2, 282). See the root 3816 (pais, “a child under strict instruction”).]

 Divine Biblical Pedagogy:

New Testament Use of the Paideia Principle or Effect:

 

  • How or by whom is “discipline” administered:
  1. By the Father’s Love (Heb.12)
  2. By the Friendship of Jesus (Rev.3:19)
  3. By Parents (Eph.6:4)
  4. By All Scripture (2 Tim.3:16)
  5. By 5-fold Ministries of Jesus (Eph.4:11-12).  As we submit to the authority and grace of God given to gifted brothers and sisters we are equipped and matured to fulfill our ministries.
  6. By Schools/Sports/Arts/Employment (Moses in Egypt; Paul by Gamaliel; ). This is the whole arena of education outside the main sphere’s listed above. This could be coaches, teachers, bosses etc.
  • What is the climate of “discipline”?
  1. In Love…”we love because He first loved us”!  The Father arranges many arena’s (Paideia) for our journey of transformation from “glory to glory” (2 Cor.3:16-17).
  2. In Grace (Titus 2:12)
  3. In Gentleness (2 Tim.2:20)
  4. In Season/Temporal (Heb.12:11)
  5. In Severity (Rom.11:22; 2 Cor.13:10).
  • What is the “purpose” of Discipline?
  1. For Growth in Holiness of Character/Maturation (Heb.12:10-11; Rom.5:1-5)…to Sin Less (Heb.12:4)
  2. For the fulfillment of ministry/ Good Works/His calling (Col.4:17; 2 Tim.3:17; Eph.4:
  3. To Glorify God and Enjoy HIm forever!
  • 12:5: “Despise “or treat lightly or habitually neglect…HELPS Word-studies
  • 3643 oligōréō (from 3641 /olígos, “little in number” and ōra, “concern, care”) – properly, caring too little (“in too few places”); to esteem lightly, neglect (LS).3643 /oligōréō (“neglect as a habit”) is used only in Heb 12:5 (an OT quote, cf. Job 5:17; Prov 3:11): “My son (i.e. true followers of the Lord), do not keep on neglecting (3643 /oligōréō, negated present imperative) the training (Paideia) of the Lord, nor go on becoming undone when you are internally convicted by Him.”

 

Old Testament Use of Discipline/chastisement:

  • HEB: MUSAR: The progression of Severity and Discipline:

First, the gentle voice of reason; the whisper ; the still small voice

Isa. 50:4 The Lord God has given Me the tongue of disciples,

So that I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word.

He awakens Me morning by morning,

He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.

5 The Lord God has opened My ear,

And I was not disobedient,

Nor did I turn back.

6 I gave My back to those who strike Me,

And My cheeks to those who pull out My beard;

I did not hide My face from insults and spitting.

  • Second, the Shout; the loud warning; “the open rebuke of a friend, a spouse, a brother etc. with love”; the bellowing Fog Horn or the Lighthouse that pierces the darkness and warns of potential shipwreck;
  • Third, the Rod; Thy Rod and Thy staff they comfort me; corporeal intervention of the Shepherd; (Psalm 23; Hosea 6:1-4)

The Cross of Jesus: Is.53:5

4 However, it was our sicknesses that He Himself bore,

And our pains that He carried;

Yet we ourselves assumed that He had been afflicted,

Struck down by God, and humiliated.

5 But He was pierced for our offenses,

He was crushed for our wrongdoings;

The punishment (MUSAR) for our well-being was laid upon Him,

And by His wounds we are healed.

6 All of us, like sheep, have gone astray,

Each of us has turned to his own way;

But the Lord has caused the wrongdoing of us all

To fall on Him.

These verses above reference the Messiah, Our Lord Jesus, the Suffering Servant.  In an ultimate manifestation of DISCIPLINE He did what we could NEVER discipline ourselves to do. He became our substitute, our sacrifice,…He became sin that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.  All our sin, sins, guilt and punishment fell undeservedly upon Him that we might by Grace be saved through faith!

Reuven Ross:  3 Questions to gain wisdom and discernment when undergoing discipline:

Often, it’s hard to sometimes discern between 3 things in a difficult season: (1) am I reaping what I have sowed, (2) is this an attack from the enemy or (3) is this a disciplinary action from God?  Part of our life-journey in discerning the difference.

 Discipline is a choice: It’s something we embrace or something God brings upon us!

Every difficulty that does not literally kill me, is meant to make me stronger.

Question: Have you ever despised or resented God’s discipline?  How did that work out for you?

 

Discipline Through the Hard Times
– Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?(Hebrews 12:7).

– Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 2:3).

Questions: How have “trials of many kinds” tested your faith?  How were you able to endure those trials?
Why is perseverance an important element to our faith?

 

Discipline through Temptation

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,  he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it
(1 Corinthians 10:13).

Questions: What positive discipline was instilled into your life even prior to coming to know Jesus as Savior?
Were there poor disciplinary traits that God had to remove once you yielded your heart to Him?
What Goliaths are attempting to stand in the way of the plan God has for your life?

Bible Study: Take Up Your Cross — what’s it mean and how do we do that?

This is a recent study I shared with my gathering of men from around the world (via Zoom).  It speaks to the day in which we live wherein so many are following ideologies and “isms” that have absolutely NO eternal value.

Hope you enjoy and are blessed!
———————–

Following Jesus

“Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?” (Jesus speaking in Mark 8:34-36).

Taking Up Your Cross: what Jesus didn’t mean
Many people interpret “cross” as some burden they must carry in their personal lives: an illness, a bad relationship, a thankless job, a physical illness. Such an interpretation is not what Jesus meant when He said, “Take up your cross and follow Me.”

What did Jesus mean?

In Jesus’ day, the Romans forced convicted criminals to carry their own instruments of execution, crosses, to the place of their crucifixion.
“Take up your cross and follow Me” is a call to absolutely surrender to God’s will.

But practically, how do we do this?

We all have responsibilities, demands, and even delights.  But for all intents and purposes, how do we really live this Christian life?
A wonderful template for living like a genuine Follower of Jesus is found in Romans 12:9-17.
Take some time to meditate on this passage; each verse speaks volumes. As you do, ask yourself if you’re practicing each principle. If not, why? Is there some personal repentance that needs to take place?  I would also highly encourage you to pray for God’s Holy Spirit to fill you is such a way that you are indeed able to walk in each of these wonderful attributes.

–
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good (v. 9).
–
Be affectionate to one another with brotherly love, give preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord (v. 10, 11).
– Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, continue steadfastly in prayer (v. 12).
– Distribute to the needs of the saints, be given to hospitality (v. 13).
– Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse (v. 14).
– Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep (v. 15).
– Be of the same mind toward one another.  Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion (v. 16).
– Repay no one evil for evil (v. 17).

 

Limbaugh: the man who launched a movement

Rush Limbaugh has lost his battle with cancer.

The first time I heard Rush was on KGO in San Francisco. It was 1988. If I remember correctly Rush’s new syndicated show was broadcast out of Sacramento five days a week. KGO was running a replay of one of his shows on either Saturday or Sunday.

I was working in television in San Francisco (KPIX) and part-time for CBS in New York. I was stunned as I listened to the radio. It was as if Rush was saying what I had always been thinking!

Actually, given the year, I couldn’t believe someone could get away with the truth that this guy was throwing out. It was sooo politically incorrect.

Eventually, like probably hundreds of other wannabe local radio talk show hosts, his presence on the radio made me want to try my hand at this new type of show.  For me, that wouldn’t occur for another 13-years.

Michael Savage hit the local San Francisco airwaves with his brand of conservative radio in about 1994, also on KGO (by this time Rush had moved to KNBR in San Francisco and later to the station I eventually worked for, KSFO, in about 1998).

Between Rush and Savage my conservative opinions and thoughts about how to do talk radio were fashioned.

Rush was a mighty force in American conservatism, in fact the mightiest. He brought to the public sphere commentary and information that our representatives in elected office were incapable to putting forth. Rush spawned the proliferation of thousands of conservative radio shows, both on broadcast radio and Internet. For crying out loud, without Rush, Fox News wouldn’t even be a glint in the eye of Rupert Murdoch.

I heard that in recent years Rush repented of his sins (whatever those may have entailed) and turned his life over to the Lord and Messiah Jesus.

Awesome!

Looking forward to talking with him in Eternity.

Vaccines, Immunity Passports vs Personal Privacy

In a single year we’ve gone from masks, to social distancing, to statewide lockdowns, to vaccines, and now to serious talk about using proof of vaccination as passports (notice I didn’t even get into a stolen elections and the phony insurrection on January 6th).

Somewhere, early on, there was even a President of the United States who dared call the culprit illness “the China Virus,” because that’s where this virus was either created and launched, or just biologically appeared.  But now such a remark might get you cancelled.

Crazy.

But about the talk now: vaccine “immunity passports” as they’re called. Political and high profile people in Joe Biden’s Administration, as well as the UK, Italy, Chile, Germany (not to mention California, whose leaders think of this state as being it’s own country) have expressed interest in the so-called “immunity passports”—a system of requiring people to present proof of vaccination for COVID-19 in order to access public places, job sites, airports, schools, etc.

The proposed schemes generally include that vaccination authentication that can be stored in a digital token on a phone with various forms of two-step authorization as a safety mechanism. For those who don’t have a cell phone, or in parts of the world where cell phones are not widely available, plans have included invisible bar code-like tattoos, likely on the forehead or hand.

Gee, does the Mark of the Beast in the Book of Revelation come to mind?

While these immunity passports are supposedly intended to help combat the spread of COVID-19, they are clearly a threat to our privacy and information security.

However, the propaganda campaign supporting the immunity passports is so robust that millions of Americans don’t seem to care that this would be a giant leap toward a system of trans-national digital identification that could (and would) be used to collect and store all of our personal information and monitor our location.

Let’s be clear, there is currently no test that will prove for COVID-19 immunity. Instead what we have are antibody tests. In other words, even if you get the vaccination you’re still capable of catching the virus and spreading the virus.

The only thing the vaccination sort of guarantees is that you may not get a severe case of the Covid.

Did anyone hear what I just said? Even if you take the vaccination you’re still potentially able to get the virus and possibly spread the virus.

The big problem is, we don’t know whether people with antibodies have immunity. Meanwhile, there has been a flood of flawed COVID -19 tests and fraudulent marketing schemes about antibody tests. Even when validated tests are widely available, they may not be 100 percent accurate. The idea of an immunity passport should be a total non-starter unless it can guarantee accurate test results AND due process for those who want to challenge their test results.

But the problem with immunity passports isn’t just medical—it’s ethical.  Analysis has shown that African Americans are far less likely than white, Hispanic, or Asian patients to be tested before they end up in the emergency room. Mobile testing sites administered by Verily Life Sciences (a subsidiary of Google’s parent Alphabet) require people to have a smartphone and a Google account before getting tested. Residents in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district, one of the city’s poorest neighborhoods, were turned away from testing sites because they didn’t have cell phones.

By the way, Google’s entire business model  is based upon gathering your information for marketing purposes (it’s almost impossible to find this in an online search anymore, but one of their slogans used to be, We know you better than you know yourself).

Requiring smartphone-based immunity verification to access public spaces like offices and schools would exacerbate financial inequities and create a two-tiered system of the privileged, who can move about freely in society, and the vulnerable, who can’t work, shop, or attend school because they don’t have a cell phone or access to testing.

And there are people who contend if they’re going to get the vaccine they want it to work. In other words they want to have assurance that they will not contract the Coronavirus and therefore will not be a carrier of the virus. Ideally, in an immunity passport society carriers will be shunned. Then there are others who would contend that they do not want to share their personal health information with the likes of a private for-profit corporation like Google. These too will get the cold-shoulder.

It’s Called, The Slippery Slope

Digital-format immunity passports could normalize digital-format proof-of-status documents more generally. I recall a few decades ago NO ONE would dare give out their Social Security number to anyone. Now look where we are.  Millions have had their identities compromised from as result of the widespread practice of sharing Social Security numbers with a wide range of vendors.  Advocates of immunity passports visualize a world where we can’t pass through a door to a workplace, school, or restaurant until the gatekeeper scans our credentials. This would habituate gatekeepers to demand such status credentials, and habituate the public to submit to these demands.

Do most realize that attorneys advise we never hand our cell phones to police officers, lock or unlocked?  Why?  Because it includes significant risks that could lead to unintended consequences for the presenter and a potential abuse of power by law enforcement.

This digital system could easily be expanded to check not just a person’s immunity status, but any other bit of personal information that a gatekeeper might deem relevant, such as banking information, age, pregnancy, HIV status, or criminal history; and all data–your data–could be accumulated into one database.  And could we really trust those overseeing the databases?  Just last year,  an HIV database in Singapore leaked the personal information of more than 14,000 individuals living with HIV.

Our government is designed to protect our liberties, not recklessly abuse them.

Latest Hidden Headlines Podcast: Separating Reality from the Left’s Propaganda

America is living in a world of fiction, created by unseen public relations masters who are assaulting our senses with propaganda.

In this episode of Hidden Headlines I unpack how the father of modern propaganda, Edward Bernays, aptly illustrated how to pull the wool over the eyes of the masses. He did this in 1929 with the concepts written in his book, Propaganda.

Bernays was a public relations genius. He could devise a scheme to sell any product or any idea.  In his push to sell he would even go so far as to create events that really had no basis in reality. So successful were his plans, Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, used the book Propaganda to sell the Nazi’s version of socialism to the masses.

And guess who else uses Bernay’s playbook?  The Democrat Party.

Plandemics (yes, I said plandemics) climate change, social justice, the January 6th “insurrection” and the subsequent impeachment “trial.” These are all big ticket items critical to the Democrats agenda.  And they’re all loaded with fiction.

Take a listen.  I hope you’ll be enlightened.
