Home sick today, so cannot be in church, but I can see both sides of the story. Has anyone considered a men's bible study based on the movie Courageous? There are a lot of "Shane's" out there. I work to many possible last minute nights to be in charge, but families are falling apart due to men just walking away. Did anyone catch how Shane ( from the movie Courageous ) was the one who lost it all in the movie? He lost his wife first ( implied infidelity/gave up on marriage ), then his marriage/family, then his relationship with his son, then his job ( now cannot support his family ) - he let go of the wheel, lost it all, and he referenced how his own father was a hypocrite. Men need to come back to being men and stop buying into the "worldly" non-Christian value system. The analogy from the movie about God's judgement and God being THE JUDGE..... is fantastic. Please preach on men being accountable, no matter how far they try to run. Just look at the church body..... families are falling apart and men need to step up if they are to call themselves Christians, and this is coming form a MAN ! Pastor Terry, please address this issue.

He used the example of how a Christian was technically FREE to rob a bank, but a real Christian would not want to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134143779763240356.post-69120413420344142972012-01-25T11:36:25.665-05:002012-01-25T11:36:25.665-05:00That's why we post the notes.

When I re-read what you wrote above as the out-line as opposed to what I heard in church I thought the sermon said something different, yet very much as the above person heard/interpreted as well. Not meaning to be critical , but it just sounded like bad behavior, attitudes, sin, etc... was just a non-accountable issue. Will wait for CD or watch again on TV. Maybe I wandered off during sermon adn missed the point :( -Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134143779763240356.post-31181019412358306972012-01-24T12:42:38.220-05:002012-01-24T12:42:38.220-05:00Thanks for your insightful comments. Look closely ...Thanks for your insightful comments. Look closely at the points under verse four, especially the last two. If a person has become a real believer, that impacts their bahavior. One evidence of salvation is turning from sin and to holy living. In the example you mentioned about a man who walked out on his family, part of turning to holy living would be doing something to make the situation right, or at least as right as he can after the fact.<br /><br />Likewise, the notes on verses five and 13 emphasize serving others in love. If we are really serving others in love, then it will impact how we treat those in our lives. If we love others better then we love ourselves, then that has practical applications to making things in our past right, at least as best as we can.<br /><br />What is not productive is if we have something in our past that we are unable to make right for some reason and we keep obsessing on it. That is what forgiveness is all about. For example, a person who had a really bad relationship with one of their parents, and now that parent has passed away. There is really no way to "fix" that relationship. Is the person supposed to feel bad about it for the rest of their lives? Sadly, many people do and then try to numb the pain with substance abuse, food, or some other unhealhy thing.<br /><br />What they should do is repent of the part in the bad relationship before the Lord, and then move forward trying to make their current relationships better than the old ones.<br /><br />Remember that this sermon is in a series of sermons from Galatians. One of those sermons was about learning from the past. Part of learning is not just intellectual understanding, but behavior modification. It's all part of the big picture.<br /><br />Thanks again for your insights. Hope that helps.<br /><br />TerryDr. Terry Dorsetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05964444127928103488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134143779763240356.post-9469759478788902212012-01-24T09:59:15.016-05:002012-01-24T09:59:15.016-05:00great sermon, but one flaw keeps biting me ..........great sermon, but one flaw keeps biting me ....... the repetitive angle of "escaping the past and shutting the door and moving forward "..... the implication ( from where I was sitting )was " there is no consequence to bad behavior and you should just move forward and shut the door to past mistakes "....i.e...... the man who walks out on his family? repentance? consequences? this is mentioned twice above and was mentioned in the sermon, yet form my perspective was left as a dangling "permission slip" for bad behavior. Maybe I am being picky, but I don't think so...... a couple of other people had the same comments after the sermon and I sense there was a BIG GREEN light to past mistakes/sin/bad choices..... just being overlooked and one JUST MOVES ON??? ON????? Please clairfy and possible a general church e-mail out there as to what that meant. Left myself and others , very uncomfortable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134143779763240356.post-4500662370521690242012-01-22T17:10:57.700-05:002012-01-22T17:10:57.700-05:00you were hilarious this morning. when you danced w...you were hilarious this morning. when you danced with the vaccum I thought I was going to fall on the floor laughing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
