Intro
Doubling down on a bad bet—sooner or later must turn cards over—but in middle it’s hard to stop—casinos configured to keep you in it
So it is with the devil and the flesh
We all prefer messages that affirm where we are comfortable (cf what they ask—cf Paul to Timothy keep talking, cf Isaiah’s call, heremiah’s…)
Cf disturb the dirt
This gets tested in positions in our life on all sorts of things—relational, poiltical, social, etc issues--
which side of history are you on
which side of the SCR are you on
which side of God’s ways of love are you on (loving God first) (Practice)
*** God brings us to a choice--
Q- more important to be right or to get right?
Two further considerations—real test--
What’s your nature of your motivation (self protection or other?
service?
Actual love?)
What’s the character of your tactic?
argument
personal attack
social triangulation (now well-meaning people been dragged in on wrong side)
** The choice with God is often about taking the side of grace
*** Pick a path, but be honest about the sign hanging above it (wanted to change the road sign that said 85N but that’s where I was headed)
*** What belongs to the way of grace?
the message of Jesus will either confirm or confront before it can ever comfort
