Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hi, I’m Kerry Duke, host of My Godand My Neighbor podcast from Tennessee
Bible College, where we see the Bibleas not just another book, but the Book.
Join us in a study of the inspiredWord to strengthen your faith and to
share what you've learned with others.
What would you say if I told youthere’s a short book in the Bible that
teaches us how to face three of thegreatest challenges of Christian living?

(00:24):
It only takes a fewminutes to read this book.
But it takes a lifetime even to beginto apply what you can learn from it.
And, after today, we’ll bestudying that very book.
But first, let’s take a look atthose three areas in our lives.
We’ll start with a questionabout the first challenge.
What would you say iswrong with people today?

(00:46):
That they don’t believe in God?
That they’re too busy?
That they just don’t care?
We may have different answers, butone thing we most likely agree on is
that people are just plain selfish.
They live their life byone rule: It’s about me.
It’s all about me.
Name almost any problem andselfishness is at the root of it.

(01:09):
Paul gave a long list of sinsin the last letter he wrote:
the book of Second Timothy.
He told this younger preacher thathard times were coming because
there would be a lot of bad people.
He wrote in Second Timothy 3 verses 2through 5, “For men will be lovers of
themselves, lovers of money, boasters,proud, blasphemers, disobedient to

(01:32):
parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving”[I’m reading from the New King James
Version which is more clear in somepassages than the King James Version,
but sometimes it’s not as accurate; thisis a case in point—the word “unloving”
is too general because the Greek wordhere refers to a specific kind of love,

(01:53):
and that is the love we have for our ownflesh and blood family, and Paul says
these people didn’t even have that kindof love, which is a natural love], but

Paul continues (02:02):
“unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers
of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty,lovers of pleasure rather than lovers
of God, having a form of godliness butdenying its power.” The first thing he
mentioned in II Timothy 3 verse 2 andone of the last things he warned about

(02:26):
before he died was that men will be“lovers of themselves.” That says it all.
And that was almost 2,000 years ago.
People haven’t changed, have they?
But that’s the story of mankind.
We come into this world helpless.
We must have others to take careof us until we can take care of
ourselves and hopefully help others.

(02:48):
But a lot of peoplenever reach that point.
When they reach adulthood,they think everybody owes them.
And as long as the world stands,selfish people will be in it.
Let’s bring this downto a different level.
Would you say that all ofus have a selfish side?
I don’t mean that we’re all likethe people in Second Timothy three

(03:08):
that are lovers of themselves.
I mean that all of usare selfish sometimes.
Christians are not exempt from this.
We struggle with selfishness too.
Even the apostles of JesusChrist were selfish sometimes.
They argued about who was goingto be the greatest in the kingdom.
That happened more than once.

(03:29):
In Mark chapter 9 Jesus askedHis disciples a question.
They knew the answerbut they wouldn’t say.
Not even Peter, who was usually quickto speak up, would say anything.
Here’s that story.
In Mark chapter 9 verses 33 and 34the Bible says: “And when He was in
the house He asked them, "What was itthat you disputed among yourselves on

(03:51):
the road?” But they kept silent, foron the road they had disputed among
themselves who would be the greatest.”No wonder they wouldn’t answer Jesus.
In Luke chapter 22, the night beforeJesus was crucified, the most important
day in all of history, and, humanlyspeaking, an extremely stressful

(04:11):
time for Jesus, the disciples arguedthat very night about who was going
to be the greatest in the kingdom.
Of all the times to be arguing about that!
But that’s what selfishness does.
How many times have you thoughtabout that with children.
They can’t se the bigger picture.
They are too busy getting what they want.
If you have them in the waiting roomof a hospital where a loved one is at

(04:33):
the point of death, they argue aboutsomething petty and want you to solve it.
It doesn’t matter how you feelor what you’re going through.
Of course, it doesn’t surpriseus when children do that.
They need to be corrected and taught.
But when adults act this way,they ought to be ashamed.
And after being with Jesus for over threeyears, after seeing His miracles and

(04:55):
hearing His teaching, and after having thepower from God to do miracles themselves,
these men argued about something thatconcerned them instead of focusing
on what the Lord was about to face.
Luke 22 verse 24 says, “Now there wasalso a dispute among them, as to which of
them should be considered the greatest.”When Jesus replied, He said among other

(05:18):
things, “For who is greater, he whosits at the table, or he who serves?
Is it not he who sits at the table?
Yet I am among you as the Onewho serves” [Luke 22 verse 27].
Jesus dealt with this problem intwo ways: in word and in deed.
He taught many things aboutthinking of others instead of

(05:40):
thinking about oneself all the time.
That’s what the Golden Rule inMatthew seven verse 12 is all about.
It has “unselfishness”written all over it.
He said, “Therefore, whatever youwant men to do to you, do also to
them, for this is the Law and theProphets.” That one verse—if most
people would do it—would change theworld for good more than all the money

(06:03):
governments throw at society’s problems.
That’s what Jesus is teaching us to doin the second greatest command of all in

Mark 12 verse 31 (06:11):
“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” He said that any
man who follows Him must be willing todeny himself in Matthew 16 verse 24.
He taught the story of the good Samaritanwho stopped and helped an injured man
after a selfish priest and a selfishlevite passed by and ignored him.

(06:32):
Those are just a few of all the lessonsJesus taught about unselfish living.
But He also taught by example.
He taught His disciples notto be selfish by His actions.
Three of them really stand out.
One was the time when some of Hisdisciples asked Him who was the
greatest in the kingdom of heaven inMatthew 18 verse one: “At that time

(06:53):
the disciples came to Jesus, saying,‘Who then is greatest in the kingdom
of heaven?’" The first thing Jesusdid was to call a little child to Him.
He set that little child in the midstof them and said, “"Assuredly, I say
to you, unless you are converted andbecome as little children, you will by
no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

(07:14):
Therefore whoever humbles himselfas this little child is the greatest
in the kingdom of heaven.” So in onesense we are not to be like children,
and in a different way we are.
Paul said this to theChristians at Corinth.
They were, in his ownwords, acting like children.
They were jealous of each other.
They had their own little cliques.

(07:35):
They showed out in the worship service.
So Paul said, “Brethren, do not bechildren in understanding; however, in
malice be babes, but in understanding bemature” [First Corinthians 14 verse 20].
They had great spiritual gifts at Corinth.
They could speak in tongues andprophesy and do all kinds of miracles.

(07:55):
But Paul told them in First Corinthians13 that none of those miracles meant
anything if they didn’t love each other.
So in Matthew chapter 18 Jesusrebuked the disciples by pointing
them to this little child.
Another thing Jesus did was that nightwhen the disciples had been arguing
about who would be the greatest.
The night before he was crucified.

(08:16):
That’s the night that Jesus didsomething that utterly surprised them.
Beginning in John 13 verse 1, we read,“Now before the feast of the Passover,
when Jesus knew that His hour had comethat He should depart from this world to
the Father, having loved His own who werein the world, He loved them to the end.
And supper being ended, the devil havingalready put it into the heart of Judas

(08:38):
Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him,Jesus, knowing that the Father had given
all things into His hands, and that Hehad come from God and was going to God,
rose from supper and laid aside Hisgarments, took a towel and girded Himself.
After that, He poured water into abasin and began to wash the disciples'

(08:59):
feet, and to wipe them with thetowel with which He was girded.
Then He came to Simon Peter.
And Peter said to Him, "Lord, areYou washing my feet?” Jesus answered
and said to him, "What I am doingyou do not understand now, but you
will know after this.” Peter said toHim, "You shall never wash my feet!"
Jesus answered him, "If I do notwash you, you have no part with Me."

(09:23):
Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, notmy feet only, but also my hands and my
head!” Jesus said to him, "He who isbathed needs only to wash his feet, but
is completely clean; and you are clean,but not all of you.” For He knew who
would betray Him; therefore He said,"You are not all clean.” So when He had

(09:45):
washed their feet, taken His garments,and sat down again, He said to them,
"Do you know what I have done to you?
You call me Teacher and Lord,and you say well, for so I am.
If I then, your Lord and Teacher,have washed your feet, you also
ought to wash one another's feet.
For I have given you an example, thatyou should do as I have done to you.

(10:07):
Most assuredly, I say to you, a servantis not greater than his master; nor is he
who is sent greater than he who sent him.
If you know these things, blessedare you if you do them.” A simple
act of humble service like washingtheir feet rebuked their egos.
Of course the greatest and highest act ofunselfish love was His death on the cross.

(10:31):
Jesus didn’t get any pleasureout of being crucified.
He didn’t receive money or fame.
He did it for us, not for Himself.
And God GAVE His Son.
Every day God thinks of usfar more than we think of Him.
He gives to us constantly.
The Bible says, “He gives to all life,breath, and all things” [Acts chapter 17

(10:54):
verse 25]. He “gives us richly all thingsto enjoy” [First Timothy 6 verse 17].
“Every good gift and every perfect giftis from above, and comes down from the
Father of lights” [James 1 verse 17].
But those are all physical,material blessings.
The ultimate gift of God was when He sentHis sinless Son to die for sinful men.

(11:19):
“For when we were still withoutstrength, in due time Christ died
for the ungodly. For scarcely for arighteous man will one die; yet perhaps
for a good man someone would even dareto die. But God demonstrates His own
love toward us, in that while we werestill sinners, Christ died for us”

(11:41):
[Romans chapter 5 verses 6 through 8].
“For God so loved the world that Hegave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish buthave everlasting life” [John 3 verse 16].
The short little book I mentionedteaches us a lot about giving.
It gives us examples of giving.

(12:01):
It tells us how to be unselfish.
It shows us that selfishnessis an attitude, but that
unselfishness is also an attitude.
It's a habit of the heart.
We have to train ourselvesto think of others instead of
just thinking about ourselves.
That's why we need bookslike this little epistle.
It's just one of the manysections of the Bible that teach

(12:23):
us how to think as Christians.
Another huge challenge for Christiansis how to live in a world with
so many troubles without lettingthem weaken you, distract you,
or make you negative and bitter.
It’s hard to be concerned aboutthe problems of life, without
letting them overwhelm us.
And, ironically in regard tothe first challenge, it’s also a

(12:45):
challenge because if we refuse tothink about these troubles at all,
we’re in danger of becoming selfish.
Sometimes it’s hard for Christiansto have a good outlook on life.
Christians take the problems of life moredeeply and more seriously than others.
I don’t mean that if you’re nota Christian you don’t get hurt.
We’re all human.
But when you know and believe yourBible, you feel it more deeply.

(13:08):
One reason it bothers Christians moreis because Christians understand more.
The Bible says in Ecclesiastes chapter1, verse 18 that “in much wisdom is
much grief, and he that increasesknowledge increases sorrow.” Nobody
understands why the world is in the messthat it’s in better than Christians.

(13:28):
We know the way to change all that,but we don’t have the power to do it.
People have a mind of their own.
Ans that can be frustratingand discouraging.
Job said in Job chapter 14 verseone, “Man that is born of woman is
of few days and full of trouble.“That verse describes our lives well.
We know what the Bible says about the end.

(13:50):
We know how all this will turn out.
We know that the judgment day iscoming, we know this earth will be
destroyed, and we know that faithfulchildren of God will go to heaven.
But it’s easy to be distractedwhen troubles come crashing in.
There are so many books of theBible that tell us to persevere, to
keep your eye on the bright side oflife—this life and the life to come.

(14:13):
The book of Hebrews is agreat book on this subject.
The people in this bookhad suffered persecution.
Some of these Christians had fallen away.
Some were not assembling forworship like they should have.
Others were attending, but they werediscouraged or had lost their zeal.
There’s a long section in the bookof Hebrews that exhorts them to
hold their head up and keep going.

(14:34):
It begins in Hebrews chapter 10 verse32: “But recall the former days in which,
after you were illuminated, you endureda great struggle with sufferings: partly
while you were made a spectacle both byreproaches and tribulations, and partly
while you became companions of those whowere so treated.” These Christians had

(14:56):
been through a lot. They were mocked,stared at, and made fun of. They were
made into a “spectacle” in verse 32.
That word is the word from whichwe get our English word theater.
Everybody in the theaterlooks at who’s on the stage.
This verse says we are on displaybefore the world—not so that they
can cheer for us, but so theycan stare at us and criticize us.

(15:21):
Verse 34 says, “for you had compassionon me in my chains, and joyfully accepted
the plundering of your goods, knowingthat you have a better and an enduring
possession for yourselves in heaven.”They lost their goods or possessions. That
was part of the persecution. The Bibledoesn’t say whether someone stole their
property or if greedy Jews confiscatedtheir property, but they lost it.

(15:45):
How did they take that?
How could there be a brightside to losing what you own?
But there was a bright side.
It helped them to realize evenmore that they had treasure
waiting for them in heaven.
This verse says what they would havein heaven is better and lasts longer
than anything they can have on earth.
So verse 35 tells them, “Therefore donot cast away your confidence, which

(16:08):
has great reward.” Don't give up.
Don't throw away everything you'velived for and worked for as Christians.
This takes patience, which isthe very thing he tells them
to have in the next verse.
“For you have need of endurance [or,patience], so that after you have done the
will of God, you may receive the promise.”Today, you need patience. You don’t need

(16:31):
for God to take away all your trials.
That wouldn’t be good anyway.
Those trials build our character.
They make us stronger.
They produce the patience we need.
James 1 verses 2 and 3 says, “Mybrethren, count it all joy when
you fall into various trials,
knowing that the testing ofyour faith produces patience.”

(16:53):
What follows chapter ten in the bookof Hebrews is called by many the
great “Hall of Faith” in the Bible.
It tells us about men andwomen of God who were tried and
tested in the Old Testament.
People like Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham,Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses,
Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David,Samuel and all the prophets of God

(17:19):
“who through faith subdued kingdoms,worked righteousness, obtained promises,
stopped the mouths of lions, quenchedthe violence of fire, escaped the edge
of the sword, out of weakness were madestrong, became valiant in battle, turned
to flight the armies of the aliens.
Women received their deadraised to life again.

(17:40):
And others were tortured, notaccepting deliverance, that they
might obtain a better resurrection.
Still others had trial ofmockings and scourgings, yes,
and of chains and imprisonment.
They were stoned, they were sawn in two,were tempted, were slain with the sword.
They wandered about in sheepskinsand goatskins, being destitute,

(18:01):
afflicted, tormented—of whomthe world was not worthy.
They wandered in deserts and mountains,in dens and caves of the earth
[Hebrews 11 verses 33 through 38].
But that’s not all.
In chapter 12 he tells them to rememberthese Old Testament saints and to keep
their eye on Jesus, not on the problems!

(18:23):
He says we need to look to Jesus in spiteof these troubles: “Looking unto Jesus the
author and finisher of our faith, who forthe joy that was set before Him endured
the cross, despising the shame, and hassat down at the right hand of the throne
of God. For consider Him who endured suchhostility from sinners against Himself,

(18:45):
lest you become weary and discouraged inyour souls” [Hebrews 12 verses 2 and 3].
And then he tells us to remember somethingwe are prone to forget: God corrects us.
He chastens us [Hebrews12 verses 5 through 11].
So instead of being down andsinging the blues, teach yourself
to be positive in a Christlike way.

(19:07):
A lot of people talk aboutbeing positive today.
Books and videos tell you how to do it.
But often their way isnot the Christian way.
God’s way is the only true way.
So look at verses 12 and 13 in Hebrewschapter 12: “Therefore strengthen
the hands which hang down, and thefeeble knees, and make straight paths

(19:28):
for your feet, so that what is lamemay not be dislocated, but rather be
healed.” That is Christian optimism.
The book of Genesis is anothertremendous book about enduring hardships.
It’s amazing to see how manytimes God brings good out of
bad situations in this book.
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob all facedadversity in their lives, and yet God

(19:51):
turned those troubles into something good.
The story of Joseph isespecially encouraging.
Sold as a slave by his own brothers at theage of 17, thrown into prison for no fault
of his own because of a wicked woman,he rose in the nation of Egypt to be the
second most powerful man in the land.
And a passage toward the end ofthat book tells us that the hand

(20:14):
of God was behind all of this.
In Genesis chapter 50 verse 20, Josephtold his brothers, “But as for you, you
meant evil against me; but God meant itfor good.” That’s so much like what Paul

said in Romans 8 verse 28 (20:29):
“And we know that all things work together for good
to those who love God, to those who arethe called according to His purpose.”
The book of Psalms is also a great bookof the Bible for adjusting our thinking.
It resets our broken hearts.
It picks us up from the pit of despair.
This is the book with the words “Yea,though I walk through the valley of the

(20:53):
shadow of death, I will fear no evil;for you are with me” [Psalm 23, verse 4].
It’s the book that says, “Weepingmay endure for a night, but joy comes
in the morning” [Psalm 30 verse 5].
There are few places in the Bible thatgive comfort like the book of Psalms.
The book of second Corinthians is alsoa wonderful book on keeping the right

(21:18):
frame of mind in a world of hardships.
Paul and others had sufferedmuch for the cause of Christ.
In Second Corinthians 4 verses 8 through10 he said, “We are hard pressed on
every side, yet not crushed; we areperplexed, but not in despair; persecuted,
but not forsaken; struck down, but notdestroyed—always carrying about in the

(21:43):
body the dying of the Lord Jesus, thatthe life of Jesus also may be manifested
in our body.” But Paul taught theCorinthians to look on the bright side.
In Second Corinthians 4verses 16 through 18, he said,
“Therefore we do not lose heart.
Even though our outward man isperishing, yet the inward man

(22:04):
is being renewed day by day.
For our light affliction, which isbut for a moment, is working for
us a far more exceeding and eternalweight of glory, while we do not look
at the things which are seen, butat the things which are not seen.
For the things which are seenare temporary, but the things
which are not seen are eternal.”

(22:26):
And Paul himself practicedwhat he preached to others.
You’ll have to look long andhard to find anyone besides Jesus
that suffered more than Paul.
In that same book of Second Corinthians,he goes into more detail about
everything that happened to him.
In chapter 1 he talks aboutan experience he had in Asia.
He thought he was going to die.
He said, “We were burdened beyondmeasure, above strength, so that we

(22:51):
despaired even of life” in verse 8.
But notice how quickly he turnsthat around in the next two verses.
He said, “Yes, we had the sentenceof death in ourselves, that we should
not trust in ourselves but in God whoraises the dead, who delivered us from
so great a death, and does deliver us;in whom we trust that He will still

(23:15):
deliver us” [verses 9 and 10]. That’swhat you’ll see Paul doing in all his
letters. He talks about his trials,but he doesn’t dwell on them very long.
He always turns to the higher good.
Here’s a remarkable verse where Paulshows that we can choose to have joy
in life regardless of what happens.

In Second Corinthians 7 verse 4, he wrote: “Great is my boldness of speech toward (23:34):
undefined
you, great is my boasting on your behalf.I am filled with comfort. I am exceedingly
joyful in all our tribulation.”
These books make for encouraging reading.
Spend time with them andthey will do you good.

(23:55):
And yet, these are not the books we’reabout to look at in the weeks to come.
We’ll refer to them, but we’ll focuson the book I’ve been talking about.
That little book we’re going to study isan excellent book on Christian optimism.
It tells us how to bepositive in a negative world.
It trains us to think optimisticallyin the face of setbacks,

(24:16):
disappointments, and tragedies.
It teaches us and reminds us thatno matter what happens, there’s
always a bright side, either to thatsituation or to the future as a whole.
And that brings us to a third challengewe face almost every day: how to
have peace of mind and Christian joy.
This is what everybody wantswhether they're Christians or not.

(24:39):
Everybody wants to be happy.
Everybody wants peace of mind,at least they want it deep
down and in the long run.
But they look for it in the wrong places.
They travel the wrong road to get to it.
Many people get selfish pleasureconfused with happiness.
They think if they can just please theirsenses enough, they will be happy people.

(25:01):
That's the story of the human race again.
It happened to Adam andEve in the very beginning.
Eve knew that it was wrong to eat thefruit, but when she saw that it was
good for food, that it was pleasantto the eyes, and that it was a tree to
be desired to make one wise, she wentagainst what God said and ate it anyway.
But it was not what shethought it would be.

(25:23):
The same, of course was true with Adam.
In the beginning, they had ahappy, peaceful life in the garden.
But after they sinned, theyhad troubles and heartache.
The wisest man that everlived fell into this trap.
I'm talking about Solomon.
In Ecclesiastes, chapter 2, he tellsus that he used his money to entertain

(25:44):
himself in every way he could think of.
He built houses, hired musicalentertainers, ate the best of food and
had more riches than he could spend.
And spend he did.
But did it make him happy?
Here’s what He said, “Then I lookedon all the works that my hands had
done and on the labor in which I hadtoiled; and indeed all was vanity

(26:08):
and grasping for the wind. Therewas no profit under the sun” [Ecc.
2:11]. Throughout this book, Solomontells us that the best pleasures in
life are the simple ones—things likeputting in an honest, satisfying
day of work and enjoying a meal.
But the challenge to have peace ofmind and joy is not just a matter

(26:31):
of having the right attitude towardmoney and the things money can buy.
There are a lot of things thatcause grief besides the love of
money or the love of pleasure.
Many things happen thatare beyond our control.
We certainly don't choose them.
And they can make it very difficultfor us to be at peace inside.
Trouble with other people canmake life almost unbearable.

(26:53):
Sometimes this troublecomes from our own family.
In fact, some of the worstgrief comes from family.
Do you remember what Isaac’s wifeRebekah said about her daughters in law?
She said she was weary of her lifebecause of them in Genesis 27 verse 46.
In other words, they wereabout to worry her to death.

(27:16):
There's hardly anything that canrob a parent of peace of mind
worse than a rebellious child.
Solomon said the father of a foolhas no joy [Proverbs 17 verse 21].
If you’re going through this,you know how hard it is.
Nobody has to explainwhat this is like to you.
You feel it and youstruggle with it every day.

(27:37):
It's hard to smile much lesslaugh when your heart is breaking,
and when you're worried to deathabout one of your children.
And I know that words of adviceor words of encouragement
may not seem to do much good.
But my hope and prayer is that the studieswe plan to do in the future from the
little book we’ll be studying will help.
Sickness and death make it hard tohave a feeling of peace and joy inside.

(28:02):
Pain and suffering in the body,make it hard to enjoy life.
The stress and the anxiety of thingslike cancer and Alzheimer's and
strokes can take the joy out of living.
If you have one of these illnesses,it's a challenge to rejoice in the Lord.
And if you're taking care of a lovedone who is suffering, it can be just as
hard or even harder because you can'tdo anything to take away their pain.

(28:25):
You feel like your hands are tied.
And it can be easy for you toresent people around you who
are laughing and having fun andenjoying themselves, even if they’re
family or good Christian people.
And, when a loved one dies, our worldcan be turned so upside down that we
can't imagine ever having any joy again.

(28:45):
At first, we just feel numb inside.
It's like being shipwrecked at sea.
You float around in the water and feellike it will pull you under at any moment.
All you can do is try tostay afloat and gasp for air.
And then comes the feeling ofanger, fear, and pain inside
that cannot be put into words.
You'll think the grief is morethan any human being can stand.

(29:07):
Would you like to be able to deal withthese struggles better—the challenge
of overcoming your selfish side, thechallenge of being optimistic in a
negative world, and the challenge ofhaving peace of mind and happiness in
spite of the pain and grief in life?
Join us for the next episode aswe begin this series of lessons.
The Bible says in Second Peter 1 versethree that God has given to us all things

(29:30):
that pertain to life and godliness.
God gives us the teaching we need on theseand many other cares and issues of life.
Until the next episode, trust andobey the Lord, keep your head bowed
in prayer and your mind on His Word.
Thank you for listeningto My God and My Neighbor.
