What in the WORLD is going on? Part 6
Mission Focus-
Exactly what is our mission as Christians who advocate a Biblical Worldview?
STANDING ORDERS FOR EVERY BELIEVER!
I. Be Salt and Light - Matthew 5:13-16
II. Occupy until Jesus comes- Luke 19:13
III. Be Ambassadors for Christ - 2 Corinthians 5:17-21
IV. Fulfill the Great Commission - Matthew 28:18-20
Effects all areas of our lives: Personal, Corporate (body), Civil, Economical, Relational...
1. Salt and Light:
Mat 5:13 "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
Mat 5:14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Mat 5:15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
Mat 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
2. Occupy until Jesus comes:
Luk 19:12 Therefore He said: "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
Luk 19:13 So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business (occupy) till I come.'
3. Be Ambassadors for Christ:
2Co 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
2Co 5:18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,
2Co 5:19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
2Co 5:20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.
2Co 5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
4. Fulfill the Great Commission:
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Mat 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Mat 28:20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
Today's focus: Salt and Light:
Salt both preserves and flavors.
Light obviously illuminates the darkness and shows the hidden dangers that would otherwise be obscured.
Mat 5:13 "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
"Loses its Flavor" -
moraino
mo-rah'ee-no
From G3474; to become insipid (adjective- lacking flavor or lacking vigor or interest, i/e., tasteless, boring); See Revelation 3:14-22
figuratively to make (passively act) as a simpleton (foolish or gullible person, someone lacking common sense or wisdom): - become fool, make foolish, lose savour.
See Galatians 3:1-3
Mat 5:14-16 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
Common sense at work here...
If a light is hidden, it doesn't shine into darkness! It doesn't light the house, nor does it shine forth to glorify our Father in heaven!
Here's the thing: Jesus said "You ARE salt" and "You ARE light"! He didn't say "Become salt and light" or "If you work real hard you might get to be salt and light"; No, He said you ARE salt and light!
What makes us salt and light? "Christ in you, the hope of glory".
City on a hill….. Still a city when the lights are off, but the effectiveness is non-existent….
Recent events and interaction with salt and light:
TARGET controversy.
Marketing "sexualization of children"
Conservative boycott
Moving of offensive displays to the back of some stores
viewed by many as a "win", discuss...
Gender mania,
From Helpful Professor.com:
How Many Genders Are There?
There are at least 80 ways to describe gender. That’s not to say there are 80 different genders, but there are at least 80 different cultural terms to describe gender constructs.
Not a Biblical worldview! This is mass confusion designed to separate mankind from our Creator.
How do we know?
Mat 19:4 And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE,'
Love vs affirm...
Pro 14:34 Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach to any people.
Do we want to be a part of this process or merely a by-stander?
See Romans 13:11
Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven!
