WEBVTT 00:00:00.020 --> 00:00:01.740 We don't need to be taught to do it. 00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:05.960 This is the LifeSpring One Year Bible Rewind, 00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:08.480 and coming to you from Riverside, California, 00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:11.300 I'm Steve Webb, your OG Godcaster. 00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:14.100 This is the podcast that comes to you every single day, 00:00:14.380 --> 00:00:17.000 and we're reading the entire Bible together in a year. 00:00:17.180 --> 00:00:18.360 I'm so glad you're here. 00:00:18.730 --> 00:00:18.840 Welcome. 00:00:19.420 --> 00:00:21.500 The website is lifespringmedia.com. 00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:24.300 Hey, if you're new to the show, I'm very glad you're here. 00:00:24.450 --> 00:00:25.580 I hope you like what you hear, 00:00:26.100 --> 00:00:28.300 and will join us on our journey through the Word of God. 00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:30.400 And don't worry about joining us late. 00:00:30.540 --> 00:00:34.620 If you'd like, you can go back anytime to listen to the earlier episodes and get caught up. 00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.520 And our way of reading through the Bible probably needs a little explanation. 00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:42.340 For our purposes, I've divided the Bible into seven sections. 00:00:42.860 --> 00:00:46.020 And we read from each section on specific days of the week. 00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:48.440 On Mondays, we read from the law. 00:00:48.940 --> 00:00:50.620 That's Genesis through Deuteronomy. 00:00:51.300 --> 00:00:52.660 On Tuesdays, we read from history. 00:00:53.180 --> 00:00:54.580 That's Joshua through Esther. 00:00:55.040 --> 00:00:57.260 And then on Wednesday, we read through Psalms. 00:00:57.660 --> 00:00:59.600 On Thursdays, we read through the books of poetry. 00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:03.880 That's Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs. 00:01:04.839 --> 00:01:09.920 On Friday, we read from books of prophecy, Isaiah, Jeremiah, etc., down to Revelation 00:01:10.170 --> 00:01:10.900 at the end of the year. 00:01:11.220 --> 00:01:13.140 On Saturdays, we read from the Gospels. 00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:16.180 And on Sundays, we read from the Epistles. 00:01:16.900 --> 00:01:17.660 And one more thing. 00:01:17.740 --> 00:01:19.120 We don't have listeners here. 00:01:19.150 --> 00:01:19.900 We have family. 00:01:20.030 --> 00:01:21.980 If you are here, you're part of the LifeSpring family. 00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:25.520 And if you've been with me for a while, make the newcomers feel welcome. 00:01:25.740 --> 00:01:26.360 Introduce yourself. 00:01:26.660 --> 00:01:27.240 Show them around. 00:01:27.320 --> 00:01:33.400 it. It's National Milk Day. Could there possibly be a better friend to chocolate chip cookies? I 00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:38.180 don't think so. And since it's Sunday, I call it Epistle Sunday. We'll read from the epistle of 00:01:38.380 --> 00:01:43.500 Paul to the Corinthians. We'll read 1 Corinthians 9 and 10. Plus, we'll have an On This Date in 00:01:43.580 --> 00:01:48.760 Church History segment and a time of prayer. Let's begin. Our Heavenly Father, we thank you so much 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:52.540 for our time together. We thank you for your word, and we pray, God, that you would teach us today. 00:01:52.860 --> 00:01:54.840 We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen. 00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:58.780 1 Corinthians chapter 9 00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:00.740 Am I not a free man? 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:02.420 Am I not an apostle? 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:05.000 Haven't I seen Jesus our Lord? 00:02:05.660 --> 00:02:07.860 And aren't you the result of my work for the Lord? 00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:12.260 Even if others do not accept me as an apostle, surely you do. 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:17.600 Because of your life in union with the Lord, you yourselves are proof of the fact that 00:02:17.600 --> 00:02:18.420 I am an apostle. 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.160 When people criticize me, this is how I defend myself. 00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:25.840 Don't I have the right to be given food and drink for my work? 00:02:26.460 --> 00:02:31.100 Don't I have the right to follow the example of the other apostles and the Lord's brothers in Peter 00:02:31.640 --> 00:02:33.940 by taking a Christian wife with me on my trips? 00:02:34.540 --> 00:02:37.680 Or are Barnabas and I the only ones who have to work for our living? 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.720 What soldiers ever have to pay their own expenses in the army? 00:02:42.380 --> 00:02:45.240 What farmers do not eat the grapes from their own vineyard? 00:02:45.940 --> 00:02:48.560 What shepherds do not use the milk from their own sheep? 00:02:49.420 --> 00:02:51.960 I don't have to limit myself to these everyday examples, 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:56.420 because the law says the same thing. We read in the Law of Moses, 00:02:56.910 --> 00:02:59.820 Do not muzzle an ox when you are using it to thresh grain. 00:03:00.740 --> 00:03:05.200 Now, is God concerned about oxen? Didn't He really mean us when He said that? 00:03:05.720 --> 00:03:11.040 Of course that was written for us. Anyone who plows and anyone who reaps should do their work 00:03:11.110 --> 00:03:16.700 in the hope of getting a share of the crop. We have sown spiritual seed among you. Is it too 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:22.040 much if we reap material benefits from you? If others have the right to expect this from you, 00:03:22.380 --> 00:03:27.400 don't we have an even greater right? But we haven't made use of this right. Instead, 00:03:28.040 --> 00:03:32.900 we have endured everything in order not to put any obstacle in the way of the good news about Christ. 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.600 Surely you know that the men who work in the temple get their food from the temple, 00:03:38.180 --> 00:03:42.060 and that those who offer the sacrifices on the altar get a share of the sacrifices. 00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:48.079 In the same way, the Lord has ordered that those who preach the gospel should get their living from 00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:54.120 But I haven't made use of any of these rights, nor am I writing this now in order to claim such rights for myself. 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:56.120 I would rather die first. 00:03:57.180 --> 00:04:00.460 Nobody is going to turn my rightful boast into empty words. 00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:03.920 I have no right to boast just because I preach the gospel. 00:04:04.380 --> 00:04:06.780 After all, I am under orders to do so. 00:04:07.460 --> 00:04:10.620 And how terrible it would be for me if I did not preach the gospel. 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.840 If I did my work as a matter of free choice, then I could expect to be paid. 00:04:16.340 --> 00:04:20.660 but I do it as a matter of duty because God has entrusted me with this task. 00:04:21.400 --> 00:04:22.520 What pay do I get then? 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:26.380 It is the privilege of preaching the good news without charging for it, 00:04:26.740 --> 00:04:29.140 without claiming my rights in my work for the gospel. 00:04:29.820 --> 00:04:32.020 I am a free man, nobody's slave, 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:36.800 but I make myself everybody's slave in order to win as many people as possible. 00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:41.100 While working with the Jews, I live like a Jew in order to win them, 00:04:41.540 --> 00:04:44.560 and even though I myself am not subject to the law of Moses, 00:04:44.900 --> 00:04:50.560 I live as though I were when working with those who are in order to win them. In the same way, 00:04:50.840 --> 00:04:57.360 when working with Gentiles, I live like a Gentile, outside the Jewish law, in order to win Gentiles. 00:04:58.100 --> 00:05:02.300 This does not mean that I don't obey God's law. I am really under Christ's law. 00:05:03.260 --> 00:05:07.480 Among the weak in faith, I become weak like one of them in order to win them. 00:05:08.440 --> 00:05:13.840 So I become all things to all people, that I may save some of them by whatever means are possible. 00:05:14.260 --> 00:05:18.180 All this I do for the gospel's sake in order to share in its blessings. 00:05:19.380 --> 00:05:24.080 Surely you know that many runners take part in a race, but only one of them wins the prize. 00:05:24.900 --> 00:05:27.180 Run, then, in such a way as to win the prize. 00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:33.860 Every athlete in training submits to strict discipline in order to be crowned with a wreath that will not last, 00:05:34.400 --> 00:05:36.460 but we do it for one that will last forever. 00:05:37.460 --> 00:05:39.660 That is why I run straight for the finish line. 00:05:40.300 --> 00:05:43.100 That is why I am like a boxer who does not waste his punches. 00:05:43.760 --> 00:05:52.480 I harden my body with blows and bring it under complete control to keep myself from being disqualified after having called others to the contest. 00:05:53.520 --> 00:05:54.880 1 Corinthians chapter 10 00:05:55.940 --> 00:06:02.900 Brothers and sisters, I want you to be sure of the fact that our ancestors were all under the cloud, and they all went through the sea. 00:06:03.700 --> 00:06:06.760 All were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. 00:06:07.620 --> 00:06:12.060 All ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. 00:06:12.440 --> 00:06:16.520 They drank from the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ. 00:06:17.100 --> 00:06:21.480 However, God was unhappy with most of them, and they were struck down in the wilderness. 00:06:22.540 --> 00:06:26.700 These things were examples for us, so we don't crave evil things like they did. 00:06:27.400 --> 00:06:29.780 Don't worship false gods like some of them did. 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:34.600 As it is written, the people sat down to eat and drink, and they got up to play. 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:41.200 Let's not practice sexual immorality like some of them did, and 23,000 died in one day. 00:06:42.060 --> 00:06:45.900 Let's not test Christ like some of them did and were killed by the snakes. 00:06:46.900 --> 00:06:50.560 Let's not grumble like some of them did and were killed by the destroyer. 00:06:51.080 --> 00:06:56.180 These things happened to them as an example and were written as a warning for us to whom the end of time has come. 00:06:56.780 --> 00:07:00.500 So those who think they are standing need to watch out or else they may fall. 00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:03.980 No temptation has seized you that isn't common for people. 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:08.500 But God is faithful. He won't allow you to be tempted beyond your abilities. 00:07:09.200 --> 00:07:15.080 Instead, with the temptation, God will also supply a way out so that you will be able to endure it. 00:07:15.820 --> 00:07:19.620 So then, my dear friends, run away from the worship of false gods. 00:07:20.220 --> 00:07:22.380 I'm talking to you like you are sensible people. 00:07:23.180 --> 00:07:24.420 Think about what I'm saying. 00:07:25.060 --> 00:07:28.380 Isn't the cup of blessing that we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? 00:07:29.400 --> 00:07:32.640 Isn't the loaf of bread that we break a sharing of the body of Christ? 00:07:33.640 --> 00:07:37.440 Since there is one loaf of bread, we who are many are one body, 00:07:37.880 --> 00:07:43.860 because we all share the one loaf of bread. Look at the people of Israel. Don't those who eat the 00:07:44.100 --> 00:07:50.400 sacrifices share from the altar? What am I saying then? That food sacrificed to a false god is 00:07:50.540 --> 00:07:56.580 anything, or that a false god is anything? No, but this kind of sacrifice is sacrificed to demons 00:07:57.020 --> 00:08:02.800 and not to God. I don't want you to be sharing in demons. You can't drink the cup of the Lord and 00:08:02.860 --> 00:08:07.560 the cup of demons. You can't participate in the table of the Lord and the table of demons. 00:08:08.620 --> 00:08:13.560 Or should we make the Lord jealous? We aren't stronger than He is, are we? Everything is 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:19.280 permitted, but everything isn't beneficial. Everything is permitted, but everything doesn't 00:08:19.340 --> 00:08:24.260 build others up. No one should look out for their own advantage, but they should look out for each 00:08:24.420 --> 00:08:29.580 other. Eat everything that is sold in the marketplace without asking questions about it 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:36.319 because of your conscience. The earth and all that is in it belong to the Lord. If an unbeliever 00:08:36.340 --> 00:08:40.979 invites you to eat with them and you want to go, eat whatever is served without asking questions 00:08:41.280 --> 00:08:46.440 because of your conscience. But if someone says to you, this meat was sacrificed in a temple, 00:08:47.100 --> 00:08:50.980 then don't eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. 00:08:51.860 --> 00:08:55.240 Now when I say conscience, I don't mean yours, but the other person's. 00:08:56.040 --> 00:09:01.600 Why should my freedom be judged by someone else's conscience? If I participate with gratitude, 00:09:02.140 --> 00:09:07.700 why should I be blamed for food I thank God for? So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, 00:09:07.940 --> 00:09:13.180 you should do it all for God's glory. Don't offend either Jews or Greeks or God's church. 00:09:14.220 --> 00:09:19.420 This is the same thing that I do. I please everyone in everything I do. I don't look 00:09:19.420 --> 00:09:23.940 out for my own advantage, but I look out for many people so that they can be saved. 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:31.800 I've got thoughts today on chapters 9 and 10. In chapter 9, the Apostle Paul wrote 00:09:31.820 --> 00:09:37.060 that those who preach the gospel should get their living from it. In other words, those who are 00:09:37.260 --> 00:09:43.920 ministered to should support the one who ministers to them. He spent nearly the entire chapter on this 00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:49.120 point, making it in different ways because some in the church in Corinth were unwilling to support 00:09:49.160 --> 00:09:54.320 him. Paul did not insist on claiming the right to be supported by them, but he gave them several 00:09:54.460 --> 00:10:02.080 reasons that he could insist. After all, as he wrote in verse 14, the Lord has ordered that those 00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:07.560 who preach the gospel should get their living from it. Well, what do you think about that? 00:10:08.190 --> 00:10:13.660 Does that make sense? Does that seem right? What are you going to do about it? 00:10:15.660 --> 00:10:23.240 Chapter 10. You know, we humans have an astonishing ability to rationalize. You know what rationalization 00:10:23.260 --> 00:10:30.780 is, right? I like the definition at yourdictionary.com. It is to justify an immoral act or 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:37.420 illogical behavior, the process of thought by which one justifies a discreditable act, 00:10:37.780 --> 00:10:44.440 and by which one offers to oneself and the world a better motive for one's actions than the true 00:10:44.620 --> 00:10:50.839 motive. You know, it's a skill that we come by naturally, too. We don't need to be taught to do 00:10:50.860 --> 00:10:55.560 it. After a sandwich and a cookie, Johnny's mom tells the three-year-old, 00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:59.700 don't eat that other cookie. I'm going to give that to Daddy when he comes home. 00:11:00.560 --> 00:11:04.260 Well, then there's a knock at the door, so Johnny's mom leaves the kitchen for a moment 00:11:04.620 --> 00:11:09.580 to see who's at the door. While she's gone, Johnny does indeed eat the cookie, 00:11:10.280 --> 00:11:14.180 and Mom comes back just in time to see Johnny finish the last bite. 00:11:14.860 --> 00:11:18.740 I told you not to eat that cookie, she says. Three-year-old Johnny says, 00:11:18.980 --> 00:11:20.120 But I was hungry. 00:11:21.700 --> 00:11:23.020 Well, listen, Johnny wasn't hungry. 00:11:23.150 --> 00:11:24.700 He just had a sandwich and a cookie. 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:27.280 He just wanted the second cookie. 00:11:27.920 --> 00:11:32.420 So his three-year-old mentality rationalized to his mom that he was hungry. 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.200 Beloved, we do that too, don't we? 00:11:36.020 --> 00:11:40.600 We tell ourselves, well, it's okay to have an affair because my spouse doesn't appreciate me, 00:11:41.020 --> 00:11:44.220 doesn't understand me, doesn't give me enough attention. 00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:48.740 Or it's okay to steal this because the store owner has insurance. 00:11:49.880 --> 00:11:52.820 Or, it's okay to look at this website, no one will know. 00:11:53.820 --> 00:11:59.520 Or, it's okay to have someone else clock me in at work, I can be late because they don't pay me enough anyway. 00:12:00.400 --> 00:12:04.780 Or there's this famous one, how could it be wrong if it feels so right? 00:12:05.620 --> 00:12:06.520 And so it goes. 00:12:07.340 --> 00:12:13.060 Oh, and there's one more, I knew it was wrong, but I just couldn't help myself, I just had to. 00:12:13.760 --> 00:12:14.780 And then you fill it in. 00:12:15.760 --> 00:12:19.860 Okay, every rationalization is nothing but an excuse to sin. 00:12:20.260 --> 00:12:20.960 You know it. 00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:22.120 I know it. 00:12:22.800 --> 00:12:23.540 God knows it. 00:12:24.300 --> 00:12:26.540 Paul wrote in verse 13 of our chapter here, 00:12:26.880 --> 00:12:29.580 No temptation has seized you that is in common for people. 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:30.960 But God is faithful. 00:12:31.500 --> 00:12:34.160 He won't allow you to be tempted beyond your abilities. 00:12:34.940 --> 00:12:40.640 Instead, with temptation, God will also supply a way out so that you will be able to endure it. 00:12:41.220 --> 00:12:43.380 Beloved, your situation is not unique. 00:12:43.740 --> 00:12:49.060 You might tell yourself it is, but as the writer of Ecclesiastes said in chapter 1, verse 9, 00:12:49.700 --> 00:12:55.100 there is nothing new under the sun. God knows that we in ourselves are weak, 00:12:55.860 --> 00:13:01.580 and He will not allow temptation into our lives that will be too much to bear. We have that 00:13:01.740 --> 00:13:07.720 promise. So the excuse that we just had to give into the temptation just doesn't hold water. 00:13:08.100 --> 00:13:10.880 He always gives us a way of escape from temptation. 00:13:11.980 --> 00:13:15.740 As we recently read, Joseph fled the temptations of Potiphar's wife. 00:13:16.280 --> 00:13:20.760 He didn't hang around long enough to weigh the pros and cons of succumbing to her advances. 00:13:21.400 --> 00:13:22.120 He skedaddled. 00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:26.520 Sometimes the way of escape comes with a cost, as it did for Joseph. 00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:32.600 But we can't use the cost as yet another reason to rationalize the sinful behavior. 00:13:33.680 --> 00:13:36.440 And by the way, the temptation itself is not a sin. 00:13:37.060 --> 00:13:42.720 Jesus was tempted in the desert, right? And he was without sin. So temptation is not the problem. 00:13:43.540 --> 00:13:50.900 The problem comes when we entertain temptation, when we fantasize about it. That's the wrong way 00:13:50.900 --> 00:13:58.080 to deal with it because that feeds the temptation. How did Jesus deal with the temptation? He used 00:13:58.150 --> 00:14:04.279 the word of God. Every answer he gave to the enemy began with, it is written, and then he quoted the 00:14:04.300 --> 00:14:10.340 scripture. Three temptations, three scriptures, and then what happened? Satan left him. 00:14:11.920 --> 00:14:16.400 We live in a fallen world, beloved. All of us are faced with temptation from time to time. 00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:21.120 There isn't enough time here to deal with every situation, but you need to know that God will 00:14:21.340 --> 00:14:27.260 never allow more than you can bear, and He will always make a way of escape. And take it from me, 00:14:27.800 --> 00:14:33.000 making the escape is far, far, far better than giving in to the temptation. 00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:34.600 What are your thoughts? 00:14:35.420 --> 00:14:37.440 Tomorrow we'll complete the book of Genesis. 00:14:38.110 --> 00:14:40.040 We'll read chapters 48 through 50. 00:14:40.820 --> 00:14:43.080 Here's the verse of the day. 00:14:45.620 --> 00:14:47.160 1 Corinthians 10.13 00:14:47.640 --> 00:14:51.240 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. 00:14:51.940 --> 00:14:55.880 God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability. 00:14:56.400 --> 00:14:59.660 But with the temptation, He will also provide the way of escape, 00:15:00.090 --> 00:15:01.840 that you may be able to endure it. 00:15:02.400 --> 00:15:04.000 1 Corinthians 10.13 00:15:08.940 --> 00:15:13.400 Beloved, if you find that the Lifespring One-Year Bible Rewind is an important part of your day, 00:15:13.820 --> 00:15:15.460 if it's helping you to read through the Bible, 00:15:15.860 --> 00:15:18.200 if you enjoy the comments I bring to you each day, 00:15:18.660 --> 00:15:21.700 if the show has value for you, I need your support. 00:15:22.380 --> 00:15:24.100 Find out how easy it is to give at 00:15:25.660 --> 00:15:26.620 Lifespringmedia.com 00:15:28.420 --> 00:15:30.779 LifeSpring family Berean brother Michael Hainer 00:15:30.800 --> 00:15:37.920 is today's associate producer. He sent in his weekly $7.77, in addition to streaming 10 sats 00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:42.880 a minute as he listens on the Fountain Podcast app. I also want to thank Minion for his daily 00:15:43.140 --> 00:15:49.520 boosts, averaging about 230 sats a day. Thank you so much for supporting the show, guys. God bless you. 00:15:55.320 --> 00:16:00.760 On this date in church history, January 11th is observed in much of the Christian calendar 00:16:00.780 --> 00:16:06.380 as the baptism of the Lord, marking the moment when Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist in 00:16:06.380 --> 00:16:11.100 the Jordan River. This event stands at the very beginning of Jesus' public ministry, of course. 00:16:11.680 --> 00:16:15.060 As He came up out of the water, the Gospels tells us that the heavens opened, 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.780 the Spirit descended like a dove, and the Father's voice declared, 00:16:19.220 --> 00:16:24.660 This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. It was a moment of public identification, 00:16:25.220 --> 00:16:30.520 not repentance, but obedience. Before Jesus preached, taught, or performed miracle, 00:16:31.340 --> 00:16:35.060 he was baptized. He stepped forward in obedience to the Father's will, 00:16:35.540 --> 00:16:38.180 openly committing himself to the mission he had been given. 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:46.040 Praises and prayer requests. We don't have any praises or prayer requests from the LifeSpring 00:16:46.210 --> 00:16:49.920 family today, but if you have a prayer request or praise that you'd like to share, 00:16:50.330 --> 00:16:57.220 go to prayer.lifespringmedia.com.
