How often do you pretend to be God?

If you understand Jesus's Sermon on The Mount, you understand that you do it very often.

When we elevate ourselves to a position of authority that isn't ours by taking the actions which belong to that position, we become rebelious to the rightful king.

Have your anger if it is just, but do not let the sun set upon it.
Revenge is not for us.

It belongs to God alone.
Don't be arrogant.

Revenge can feel therapeutic, but that does not make it righteous.

God is interested not only in what we do, but in what our hearts want to do.

The command, "an eye for an eye," was never permission for personal vengeance. It was a guardrail meant to restrain evil and keep punishment from exceeding the offense.

When we seize that rule for ourselves, guilt hides beneath the language of justice.

Kingdom citizens do not seek destruction first. We seek repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation.

Righteous hearts want justice, but they want it through the means God has given—not through revenge.

Nobody is saying that you're wrong.

I have no doubt that the other guy is rude and hateful and isn't acting very "Christianly."

What you need to understand that bloodthirty and overly-hostile behave isn't very Christ-like either.

There's a time for war, no doubt about it.
Jesus told us to buy a sword.

Know your station and be mindful of your circumstances as well as your heart's intention.
There's not a situation where you need to make yourself the avenger.
God can, and He will, punish appropriately.

Christians share some objectives with the Stoics.

For both groups, self-control is very important and highly sought after.

The Christian must be self-controlled so that their impulse for sin might be subdued to some degree.

It is the gift of the Spirit that we might not sin.

When someone slaps your cheek, takes you shirt, or sends you walking for miles,
it is not for us to become enraged and hateful toward our abuser.

Anger isn't evil. Neither is hatred for that when rightly understood.

What is certainly evil is usurping God's authority and assuming that we are qualified to be our own avenger.

That's why Jesus said, "Do not resist and evildoer."

He didn't mean be passive. He meant don't do something evil in response to the injustice.

There's supposed to be something different about God's people.
We don't have time for the whole list, but something most people forget about is being peaceful without being passive.

One or the other.

That's how most people are.

What you didn't learn in Sunday School is that wanting justice isn't the problem.
You just need to do it the right way.

"Turn the other cheek" wasn't a command to get bullied.
It wasn't even regarding that subject.

It was an example that demonstrated to people that they shouldn't be doing violence because they were technically wronged and "have a right to revenge."

You don't have a right to revenger.
God does.

Here's the rest of the story:

You know you're supposed to, but you still don't do it.

You also know your life would be different=better even-if you did.
That's what makes you so frustrated with yourself.

Here's the solution:

You need to realize what David knew.
You remember David?

King of Israel? Man-after-God's-own-heart?

He understood that the things of God, they all belong to God.
In fact, everything belongs to God, material and immaterial.

But those qualities you know you're supposed to have, the wisdom you need to manage your life rightly, and the ability to see those opportunities to God's work in the real world,

all that stuff is also God's stuff,

and you're missing out on it because you don't pray.

You could be in a whole different life right now if you were asking God for His help each day.

Here's how to be consistent:

Make a note for yourself right now, not later, but as soon as you finish reading this.
Make it a pretty note or at least a durable one that you can and will look at everyday.

Let it say this:
"Convice me that you shouldn't pray?"

Then write this beneath it, "If you ask not, you will have not. - James 4:2"

If you encounter that every day, you'll find yourself praying more because you know you're supposed to already. This is just reminding you of what you miss out on when you don't.

This clip is from a sermon about the "Turn the other cheek" passage and how preachers usually teach it incorrectly.

They probably do deserve it,
but I promise, you are not the avenger.

That doesn't mean you should lay down and tolerate abuse.
That means you shouldn't do something evil, like assuming God's authority to avenge, when you address abuse.

This is a complicated subject.

Few teachings have been as abused as "turn the other cheek."

For too long, cultural "christianity" has peddled a bubble-wrapped interpretation of this passage that renders Christians uneffective in personal altercations.

Jesus did not advocate for passivity.
He taught non-retaliation.
These are not the same.

In this sermon, we are studying the ever important subject of dealing with injustice in one's personal life and how Jesus ACTUALLY expects His people to deal with them.

Spoiler: laying down and having your ribs kicked in, isn't what He was talking about.

This sermon is thorough, and I pray that it is a helpful guide for anyone with the patience to listen.

Full Sermon: you're looking at it!

Don't try to be holier than God.
Humans shouldn't make rules that the Bible does not support, especially when they want to use the church's authority to enforce them.

Do not add to God's word.
Do not takeaway from God's word.

Else, you'll probably end up eating raw potatoes!

There's more to Christianity than waiting for Jesus.

A LOT more.

In fact, every aspect of your life on this earth will be considered on the last day,

the lawn, the car, your parents, your friends, the good you did, and all the errors.

But the most moving and powerful reflection will be over the good you didn't do, the light you didn't shine.

Don't wait idly like the lazy servant who buried the talent.

Go and make profit with what you have been given.

Be ye salt and light.
