What must we do to be authentic? As members of a local body of believers, what must we do to keep our church authentic? I think we must actively examine our religion. We must always be on guard to make sure we are measuring up to the early Church. Again, how amazing it is God included the accounts in the book of Acts to show us how the Church began and how they continued in authentic living and fellowship. If we as individuals continue to do this, then the assemblies we are a part of will do the same.

First, examine your personal relationship with Jesus. Everything from the Garden of Eden to Revelation is about Jesus. If we believe in God, if we are agreeing with who he is and who we are, then we will take him at his Word about Jesus. He promised this from the beginning. He gave us many examples throughout the Old Testament how the Messiah would come and of what he would do. Then we have his arrival and his life, recorded for us in the Gospels. After he ascended, he gave explicit instructions on how we were to live until the day he returned. But example Jesus left was different than what was before. Before he came, you had to trust God in the process he provided. You had to continually live up to the expectations he gave for his people. These were the characteristics of God and what he required from his people. As you followed this and practiced this, you would be a people set apart and blessed by God. When you broke his requirements, you had to reenact that first sacrifice - a life substituted in place of your own - as God prescribed. They did this over and over as they worked to be his people, set apart from the world to show who God was.

Then God did a new thing. He fulfilled his promises. He sent the ultimate, perfect sacrifice that would make any further sacrifice not needed. Jesus came and lived the perfect life. He was perfectly in tune with God the Father. This was what was meant for Adam and Eve. This was what humanity was supposed to do from the beginning. Remember, God walked with them in the Garden. They reigned and ruled with God, walking in perfect harmony in God’s Will. Once that was broken, humanity could no longer work with God perfectly. Now Jesus came and restored that. He walked as humanity was meant to walk. He showed us how it was supposed to be done. Then, he willingly went and became that sin sacrifice for us, taking our place for what we deserved. Because he was innocent, God raised him and set him above all things. He was the firstfruit of what could be. He was the promise to humanity made by God long ago.

But not only did Jesus show us how to do it, he left instructions on how others could do it. It’s all about believing in Jesus. We must believe he was who he said he was. We must believe why he did the things he did. We must understand why he died and rose and ascended to heaven. If we place total trust in and surrender to Jesus, he said we could receive the Spirit of God. Just as Jesus had the Spirit on him, those who believe in him could have this same Spirit. This is what we have seen in Acts. Jesus gave evidence the Spirit of God was poured out on those who believed in and surrendered to his name. We now see in chapter eight it isn’t just Jews in Jerusalem, it’s Samaritans also! Jesus told them they would take this Good News of him to all parts of the world and that anyone who truly believed in his name would be saved.

So it’s not following a set of rules. It’s not joining a group. It’s not meeting expectations. It’s not calling yourself something. It’s a personal relationship with Jesus. You have to know who he is. How do you do this? Just like we do. You have to get to know them. You have to trust them. You have to get involved in each other’s life. How do we get to know Jesus? Read about his life. Listen to the things he said, watch the things he did, understand why he did them. We can look in Acts and the rest of the New Testament and we can read from the people who knew him best. We get to hear from the people he personally taught, the people he shared everything he wanted to share for all those who would follow. Want to know about Jesus, read his Word. How do we trust him? We take him at his word. We look back and see that he has always been truthful and faithful; he has never not been able to be trusted. That’s a pretty good track record; much better than mine! So the last step: if I know who he is and I know I can trust him, I have to decide to do life with him. Let him get involved in every part of my life. Every decision, every moment of every day. That’s the example Jesus left for us. That’s what he told us to do. And that’s why he sent the Holy Spirit. Even with all the right information and knowing it is true, it doesn’t make it possible for us to do this well. Just look at Simon. He believed it was true. He saw the evidence. He just didn’t make that relationship with Jesus the most important thing in his life. He still wanted to be in charge, just keep Jesus for when he needed it or it helped him. That’s not a personal relationship; that’s just friends with benefits. That’s not what Jesus wants or requires. We must have a true, deep, personal relationship with Jesus.

Now, in our churches, if anything takes the place of that, it’s not authentic. Many churches want to take part of what Jesus said and leave out other parts. That’s not trusting in Jesus as a personal savior; that’s a lucky rabbit’s foot. Some churches want to use the name of Jesus when it sounds good, then add what they want to add because it makes them feel good. That’s not the way of Jesus. Jesus was totally committed to God and his Word, all of it. Jesus never said “well, I think….”, he always went with what God said. If the assembly you are a part of puts the focus on anything above a personal relationship with Jesus or changes any part of what that truly means, it is not an authentic church after the pattern of the Church Jesus established.

'He exercised this power in Christ by raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavens — far above every ruler and authority, power and dominion, and every title given, , not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he subjected everything under his feet , and appointed him as head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way.'
Ephesians 1:20-23 CSB

I just read yesterday about a large First Baptist Church in South Carolina which put out a carefully, and weirdly worded statement about how they chose to follow God and it included women in positions that the Southern Baptist Convention just stated were not acceptable to them. Again, that is a long conversation that is not for this short devotion/study, but I found it interesting how they chose to word their statement. It sounded good on the surface or at first reading, but when you actually looked at what is said, it was scary. So I will say again how very important it is to make sure we are practicing authentic examples of Jesus and our assemblies are made up of people doing that.

One way we looked at determining false believers and congregations was their importance placed on outward recognition. Sometimes it is about how religious/good you are. It’s how big and popular the church is with its members. How many programs does it have for members. How many ministries does it support in the community. Sometimes even how different they are from other churches or how inclusive they are compared to other churches. All of this comes down to how the church and the person wants to look on the outside. Saul was an extremely religious man. Simon was an extremely selfish man. They both thought that following a certain program would save them. Religion never saved anyone. It’s not how well you follow whatever accepted code you think is right. It’s not religious dogma, political rhetoric, or cultural assimilation. It always comes back to a personal relationship with God. It’s not fitting God into our lives, it’s surrendering our lives to God’s plan. To be an authentic Christian, this is the primary thing. To be an authentic Christian church, your church must believe the same. Do they preach this? Do they preach this only for salvation? Do they give you opportunities to grow in your personal relationship? Do they encourage members to grow? If not, if something else drives their mission statement, they may not be an authentic church.

The second danger is false doctrine. Saul’s was good. It had a lot of Words God said; it also included a lot of ideas added by well-meaning men. Simon didn’t have any doctrine. He was just in for what he could get out of it, what it could do for him and how it could make his life better. He could care less about doctrine. Scripture MUST be the standard! Any church that dismisses any of the Word of God or attempts to translate it in a way that is contrary with other parts of God’s Word, is not a church that truly follows God. Want to make up your own Scripture? Want to decipher the meaning in alternative ways? Fine; it’s your choice. Just don’t call yourself a follower of Jesus. There are no excuses: the Bible is God’s Word. Part of this for the individual is having a Biblical World View. We’ve discussed this some, but it’s basically you view the world around you and how you interact with it from the perspective of the Bible. Oh, here you go just being narrow-minded again. Again, it’s not me. I’d naturally rather change some things myself to benefit me! But if I am claiming to be an authentic, true follower of Jesus, I must follow all the Words God has spoken. To dismiss them makes me a follower of someone else, not Jesus. Anything that goes against the Bible should be viewed as untruth. If an assembled group of people calling themselves Christians does this at all, they are not an authentic Church.

The last danger we looked at was misplaced focus. If a personal relationship is not the most important thing and if you are dancing around with total obedience to the Word of God, it will show in misplaced focus. Saul was so concerned about attacks against his religion, he totally forgot the God of his religion and went after people. Simon couldn’t get over doing what was best for himself, he couldn’t see the real reason the Holy Spirit was being given to people. No matter how good it sounds or even how good it may actually be, if the focus is not on God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, it is misplaced. How does an individual and a church make sure to keep their focus where it should be? It’s only by the Spirit. Look at the example the early Church gave us: we can’t stop being witnesses to what we have seen and heard, the Spirit testifies to Jesus, whatever he leads us to do, we will do. Are we doing the same thing? Are we making sure we are connected to the Spirit of God? Are we making sure we are in tune with him, not grieving or quenching him but repenting and learning to walk more and more with him? Are we growing and maturing in our walk with the Spirit? There’s only one way to do this: Jesus said you must be connected to the vine, him, or there will be no fruit. If we are connected, he flows through us and produces the fruit that is the character of God. An authentic church is made up of people surrendered and committed to the Holy Spirit. The Church teaches this and encourages its members. It gives them opportunity to show their fruit. But we must have the first two to be where these early disciples were in relationship with the Spirit.

'But you have followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, and endurance, along with the persecutions and sufferings that came to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured — and yet the Lord rescued me from them all. In fact, all who want to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. Evil people and impostors will become worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and firmly believed. You know those who taught you, and you know that from infancy you have known the sacred Scriptures, which are able to give you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is inspired by God , and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. '
2 Timothy 3:10-17 CSB

This week we talked a little about authentic and inauthentic Christians and churches. Whoa, whoa, whoa, you say. Here goes another religious person judging other people! First, that statement gets used incorrectly by people who claim to be on both sides. Looking at the Bible, and especially these first chapters of Acts we have been studying these last weeks, we need to clarify this statement. We are not judging people. Those people who say “only God can judge me” are correct, he is the only one who is worthy to judge (and let us be careful what we ask for!) But we are to judge fruit. We should be producing fruit that can be judged and we can judge others by their fruit. So no, we are not supposed to judge people; that’s above our pay grade, but we are supposed to judge fruit. So yes, the best we can it is wise to judge a person’s fruit and also an organization’s fruit. Secondly, it’s not me providing the criteria for judging. I didn’t come up with a set of standards or moral living I am trying to force on anyone. That’s religion. I am surrendering my life to God. Part of surrendering and trusting this is the right way to live with him and others around us is agreeing with what he says is right and wrong. So it’s not my standard, it’s God’s. It’s not me telling others what they have to do, it’s just me agreeing with what God says is right to do. Everyone gets to make that decision for themselves. Since we are agreeing with God, we go to his Word to see what he says is authentic and inauthentic.

We started out yesterday with a humorous analogy about not knowing what authentic Italian food tastes like. So when we go into an Olive Garden, we don’t know the difference. We connected that to many well-meaning Christians, and others who don’t claim to be Christians, not knowing the difference between authentic and inauthentic Christianity and churches that claim to be Christian that may not be. We’ll spend the rest of the week talking about some of the ways we can be wise about this, from God’s Word and especially this eighth chapter of Acts, so we know how to recognize authentic Christianity and Christian assemblies. We should do this for our own, personal walking with God and for when we join together with other believers as we are commanded to do.

But the main point: what is the intent of your heart? When we looked through this chapter, we drew out four different people and looked at the intentions of their hearts. By this, and not the outward show, they showed what they truly believed. Not only can we apply these lessons to our own personal lives, but we can apply them to our churches as assembled bodies of like believers. When we do this, honestly and lovingly, and we use God himself and his Word as our guide, we will be able to know better the differences between authentic and inauthentic Christianity and churches.

' “Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged. For you will be judged by the same standard with which you judge others, and you will be measured by the same measure you use. Why do you look at the splinter in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the beam of wood in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the splinter out of your eye,’ and look, there’s a beam of wood in your own eye? Hypocrite! First take the beam of wood out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother’s eye. Don’t give what is holy to dogs or toss your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them under their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces.'
Matthew 7:1-6 CSB

' “Enter through the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who go through it. How narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to life, and few find it. “Be on your guard against false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravaging wolves. You’ll recognize them by their fruit. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes or figs from thistles? In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree can’t produce bad fruit; neither can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So you’ll recognize them by their fruit.'

I’ll combine the last two we talked about last Sunday: “what is fair” and “what is the character of God”.

“That’s not fair!” If I’ve heard that once, I’ve heard it a billion times. But here’s the thing: we really don’t want fair. Yes I do, you may say. No, you don’t. Because what is “fair”? It’s just, right? It’s getting what is just and right. That means we get exactly what is just and right for us to get according to our actions. Oh. Yea, let that sink in a little bit. Fair means always just, always right, no exceptions. If there were exceptions, then it wouldn’t be “fair”. So when we say “fair”, what we really mean is we think we didn’t get something we deserved. On that topic for a minute, many times we don’t. I worked hard, I didn’t get the grade I deserved. I completed the majority of that job, I didn’t get all the credit or pay for it. I didn’t do what they said I did, yet I got punished for it. I didn’t do something that bad to receive all that punishment. All these things can be true and happen in our fallen world. But look back at that again: fair is all the time. Yes, we sometimes miss some things we feel we should receive because we did good and we feel we sometimes get things we think we did not deserve. But perfectly fair would be perfectly just and right all the time. Not to continue too deeply in this, we don’t do perfectly good and really don’t deserve perfectly good outcomes, and we don’t want to get all the bad outcomes we do deserve when we aren’t perfectly good. We don’t really want fair and just, what we really want is mercy. Mercy is when we don’t get what we deserve. Be honest for a minute, we all know how and when we fall short. Do we truly want to receive all of the appropriate bad every time we do that? No, me either. Now when someone else messes up, especially towards or in relation to us, we definitely want justice. But for ourselves, no, we want mercy.

That brings us to the character of God. Often you may hear, “a good, loving God wouldn’t punish people”. First, why do you say God is good and loving? Is nature good and loving? Is biology good and loving? Are societies and culture good and loving? Were ancient religions good and loving? No. The reason you believe God is good and loving is because of Jesus. He came and said this and taught this. So you are basing your argument on the person of Jesus for one. Secondly, why did Jesus say he had come? To bring forgiveness for our sins. What are sins? The times we miss the perfection of God. So God is good, he is perfect. When we are not good and perfect, what should happen? Should a good and perfect God ignore that? Should he just allow imperfection to go on unpunished? Well, that’s not fair…. No, we all would expect a perfect, almighty God to require perfection and to deal with anything that falls short. We expect that of our governments, our relationships, our jobs, when we deal with other people, why would we not expect the same, yet in perfection, from an all-powerful God? So God is good, how is he loving? He sent his Son! He loves us so much, he made a way for us to be able to come back to him. But we can’t do all right all the time and we can’t do completely away with the wrong we have done in the past; we fairly and justly deserve punishment. But that is why God is also love. He does not want us to remain there. He doesn’t want us to remain in the mess we have created. He doesn’t want us to have to always be dealing with the consequences of not being able to live up to a better standard. So made a way where we couldn’t. And, he offered it freely! All we have to do is believe in his son Jesus. Turn from our way and turn to his, trusting he will lead and take care of all the rest. But what if I choose to do it another way? What if I just try to be better, do less bad, try another religious or moral path to perfection? Then you are choosing to place your trust in something other than God’s plan. But a good, loving God wouldn’t punish someone who was really trying, they just chose another path, would he? To God it’s the same: his perfection or not. If we are not choosing to trust his way as the way back to him, we are not choosing him. We might as well remain where we are trying our best to get the best we can. God doesn’t send people to hell. People choose to do things their own way, knowing better than God, and they choose to be separated from God. If they continue in this, they will continue to be separated for eternity.

God doesn’t want that. He has done everything in his power to make it freely available to everyone. As a good and loving God, his greatest desire is for you to come to him. But it’s our choice. We all have free will. God doesn’t decide, we do. Make an informed decision.

' “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. “There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son. And the judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants.” '
John 3:16-21 NLT

Another question we hear today is “am I made this way”. It’s not quite asked or declared that way, but that essentially is the question. Am I the way I am supposed to be and is there anything that can change it? There is a lot to that question and it covers a lot of territory!

To get to the heart of the question we have to go back to our question from yesterday: is God in charge? If he’s not, then it’s just biology. So then you are what you are and you are subject to the desires of your biology. If you are predisposed to be unhealthy, there’s not much you can do to change it. (Sure, we have medicine and we can work on that, but you still are what you are.) If you’re angry, you’re just angry. If you’re promiscuous, that’s just you. If you are more likely to be addicted, you will. Depression, anxiety, self-consciousness, any of the issues we face - that is who and what you are. It goes into the mental and emotional areas as well. Straight, bi, gay, choose from the ever growing list of “what I ams”, and that is what you are. That defines you. A liar, murderer, abuser, it’s just who you are. Now wait, we have medicine, we have therapy, we have cultural expectations that guide and correct bad behaviors. Again from yesterday, do we want to ride the wild waves that are cultural expectations? Yes, this discussion goes much deeper and can go on for much longer; the point. If God is not in control, if he is not the designer and creator, then we are just at the mercy of our biology. So then we just have to do what brings us the most personal fulfillment and the least harm …. wait, we’ve been here before.

Here’s another option. God designed and created humanity and the world we live in. He set up the rules, he set it all in motion, he designed it to work a certain way. Now enter humanity. We don’t live in right relation to God. We don’t live in right relationship with the world around us. And we don’t live in right relationship with others or even ourselves. We have brought in imperfection into what God created. God calls this Sin. Because of Sin, there are consequences. We see these in the world around us, the relationships we have with others, and even in our own selves. This is not what God planned; this is what we chose. When we know this, and continue to choose this, we continue in that direction. Then it’s all just the consequences of our actions. We are just following our biology.

But God designed us for something different. God desires something different. He wants us to be in a right relationship with him. He wants us to be in a right relationship with the world around us, the people around us, and with ourselves. When we choose that option, we come back to what God had planned: we reign and rule with him. We see what we were designed for and what we were designed to do. We can achieve the things he wants for us and not just spend our time chasing our biology. We see real fulfillment and joy, not the consequences of Sin.

So, am I made this way? Which way are you talking about? Are you asking if you were made to follow after your biological desires and live in the consequences of those actions? Or, are you asking if you were made to come back to God and follow after his desires and get his outcomes?

'O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand! I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night— but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you. You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. '
Psalms 139:1-16 NLT

This last Sunday we mentioned a few of the arguments we may hear in our world today and some of the possible ways we should approach them. We’ll look at this again today and tomorrow. Remember: we must be where God leads us, we must only be concerned about pointing to Jesus, and afterwards, we must be able to know we are standing in God’s right place in all we have done and said.

One question is “who gets to dictate right and wrong”. There is a whole separate discussion we can have on the proof and authenticity of God and the Bible. We have had it here a few times. But for much of society, “the Bible says ….” is not an acceptable answer and many times is an immediate turn off for the hearer. Culture todays sees itself as evolving past those old beliefs. Those are ancient rules and practices. We are a more modern, pluralistic society and trying to implement those old ways of thinking is regressive and harmful. Individuals should get to have full autonomy to determine their own identity, purpose, and moral framework. The most important factors in deciding this are what brings the individual the most personal fulfillment and what causes themselves and others the least harm. Here’s a quick survey: how many times were you present for your past, worst decisions? What were you thinking at the time? Well, obviously we were present for all of them! I heard someone share the line “all of my past bad decisions have one thing in common, I was present for them all”. And what was I thinking? I was thinking this would bring me the most personal fulfillment and cause the least amount of harm. Hmm, seems this line of thinking just leads to all the wrong things I have done in my life. Then who gets to decide? The government? Ha! Anyone who thinks the government solves all our problems hides their head in the sand. The church? Be careful who you place your trust in! Stephen’s whole attack was against the leaders of the religion of that day. Should the modern culture of the day decide? They can’t even decide on what a woman is. And modern culture is so fickle and varies greatly around the world, you would be unwise to just ride the wave of popular sentiment to determine what is right and wrong; just briefly investigate any time in world history. So we’re lost for an answer, who gets to decide?!

Here is Stephen’s answer: God. God was before their nation was established, he was before they were freed from bo***ge, before they had a Law, a Tabernacle, a Promised Land. And he was after all that as well. In that same section of Mark we read yesterday, Jesus said all this will be torn down. But he remains. God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He is perfection. He is above all our less than best desires and attempts. He always has been this way and will always continue. Since he is above us and unable to do evil, shouldn’t he be the one to decide what is right and wrong? But therein lies the problem: we don’t want to give up control. I want to do what I want to do. I don’t want anyone to tell me I have to do one thing or I can’t do another. And we know if God is in charge, then he is in charge of everything. If I admit there is a God who is in charge, then I have to admit that I don’t want to follow what he says. That puts me into conflict with God; no one wants that! So we either say he wants something else, we ignore what he says, or we even just say he doesn’t exist. Then we go off, trying to justify some other kind of answer that doesn’t truly make sense so we can continue doing what we really want to do: bring what we think is the most personal fulfillment and does the least harm to others and ourselves. Continuing to fail over and over again, refusing to acknowledge the true reason.

Jesus was speaking one time and he said come to me all who are burdened down by heavy loads and I will give you rest from them for my load is light. You think, light?! Sin is a heavy word! Accusing me of all this and making me do what you say isn’t light! But take a second, step back, look again: what is causing your heavy loads? Is it God or is it what we are trying to do to gain that “good enough” status? Isn’t it the guilt of knowing we are not doing all we should, not behaving as we should, not doing the good that we ourselves think we should be doing? Is it a set of religious expectations or lifestyle we are trying to meet? Is it an accepted moral code we are trying to live up to? Isn’t it all these types of things, knowing we cannot do them well enough to feel like we are good and right? So, what was Jesus talking about, light? It’s God’s grace! He knows we can’t. He has seen we can’t. But he can! He made a way, when we couldn’t. He provided the answer while we were chasing after it. He loves us so much he did what we could never do, for us. Jesus takes the heavy load. He takes all the Sin and guilt. He carries that. When you turn to him, he has already taken all of that onto his shoulders so you don’t have to carry it any longer. Give it to him; don’t pick it back up. Turn to and trust in Jesus to be both your Savior and Lord.

'Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”'
Matthew 11:28-30 NLT
