1. 0:13

   Welcome to the good Christian talks podcast. I’m Levi. And I’m Chris. Thank you so much for joining us this week. On this podcast, we select one taco week to help each one of us. Get the Bible in our daily news feed. We post at the start of each week for you to listen. With a short intro beforehand to kind of set the stage for the talk here about to here.

2. 0:33

   And now, let’s hear more about this week’s talk. This week marked episode number 20 of the podcast which is incredible. And I want to personally again, say thank you to everyone who has been listening and sending us feedback. We have had several really heartfelt messages about the talks from people about how easily these talks are available to people and how much people are enjoying them. Even some messages from members of smaller, Ecclesia as where they don’t have access to as many speakers, and they’ve been really enjoying them and appreciating them and hearing that means so much to us and So glad that people are finding these talks to be useful for the podcast this week. We are again drawing from the Verdugo Hills, Ecclesia. Sorry, it’s the Ecclesia.

3. 1:22

   I’m from based on a suggestion from a listener. Actually, not me for an excitation that was given their last year in 2018 by our brother. Richard Morgan from the Simi Hills. Ecclesia in California in his excitation brother, Richard examines, why we do the things, we do every Sunday and throughout the week and what are our motivations behind those things. He really forces us to take a hard look at why we do the things we do.

4. 1:47

   And the traditional sometimes almost ritualistic way that we approach our worship, Brother, Richard is trying to drive us to not be like the Pharisees not to be checking off the boxes, every Sunday and on midweek, Bible class and every day when we say prayers and do readings. But instead looking at the motivation behind what we’re doing and the faith that should be driving those actions rather than Than just doing it because we’re supposed to or out of habit.

5. 2:17

   I found the talk was really powerful and similar to last week’s talk gave me a lot to reflect on, after listening to it without giving away. All the little nuggets that Brother, Richard brings out in his talk in the middle. I really like the point that he made, where he said, we know the things that were supposed to do, go to bible class, say prayers before meals, do daily readings, go to Sunday school, go to meeting all those things, but if those behaviors aren’t driven, Reinforced by underlying faith and a love of God.

6. 2:45

   Then, as our brother put it, they are Hollow actions with no substance and not what God desires from us at all near the last third of the excitation Brother. Richard really gets going, you can feel the passion and the enthusiasm that he has as he’s driving through the end of the excitation. I won’t spoil any more about it, but make sure that you’re paying attention, you’re the end because he he really gets going, he makes some awesome points.

7. 3:09

   I hope you’re as excited now to hear this talk, as we are to share it with you. You. So I will now turn it over to her brother. Richard Morgan for his excitation on the theme of the motivations behind our behaviors. Very good morning. To you all my beloved brothers and sisters. Very happy to be with you here.

8. 3:25

   This morning to share this time together and we bring with us the love of your brothers and sisters in see me, and it’s good for us to be here this morning. Isn’t it? Brother and sisters. It’s good for us to remember our law. To break bread together to sing, hymns, to read the word of God. Meet in Fellowship.

9. 3:45

   Brothers sisters, there’s something far more important that we need to understand that simply doing that which is on the surface something which is good and right. And that’s Paul’s concern in Ephesians and at the end of chapter 4 of Ephesians and the beginning of chapter 5, Paul lays out a series of moral imperatives for us things which are good for us to do. But he underlines that behavior, with what should be far more important than the behavior itself? What is it?

10. 4:22

    That drives our Behavior because in one sense it’s very easy for us to do at least outwardly that which is right. But this morning brothers and sisters as we meet to remember our Lord and as he has commanded us to do to examine ourselves, I want us to be honest with ourselves as Paul counters us to do in Ephesians. He he counsels us to be people of Integrity, people of honesty. People of Truth, people of faithfulness. So let’s look deep into our hearts and examine. What is the motive behind the things that we do? Each day of Our Lives, not just here on a Sunday morning, but what is the underlying motivation behind our Behavior? That’s, that’s really what Paul is concerned with here as he lists a series of ways in which we put off the old man by putting on the new man.

11. 5:20

    As I said, he underlines that behavior with a sort of attitude of mind the motivation. What is it? That drives us to do that, which is right in the sight of God. So if we look at these very well-known words, Words in chapter 4 and verse 22. He says put off your old man, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires. So so how do we do that brothers and sisters? We know that mere suppression of sin does not work. If we try to overcome sin just by the law, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not covet, we know that does not work. It simply highlights in and makes in even more tempting, so suppression in itself, does not work. Work.

12. 6:04

    And the way in which Paul tells us to put off the old man is through distracting ourselves with that, which is positive. By replacing the old man with the new. So he says in verse 23, there be renewed in the spirit of your mind and put on the new Man created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and Holiness.

13. 6:27

    So we put off the old by putting on the new, we don’t just sit in the corner and say, I will not sin. We have to replace that sinfulness with that, which is positive. And then, in the next few verses starting in verse 25, through to the the beginning of chapter 5, Paul gives a series of examples that we can follow in which he illustrates this principle, put off the old man by putting on the new But each time what I want us to notice this morning brothers and sisters, is this underlying motivation behind the behavior that is expected of us? So for instance, in verse 25, he says, therefore Having put away falsehood.

14. 7:17

    How do we put away falsehood by each of one of you speaking truth with his neighbor, if we’re so busy. Speaking, the truth that pushes lies away, doesn’t it? We can’t speak falsehood at the same time of speaking truth. Truth replaces falsehood. So we overcome the old by putting on the new. It is a very simple exhortation.

15. 7:44

    But he says, at the end of verse 25, what is it? What is the reason behind us? Speaking the truth? Because ultimately speaking, the truth, doesn’t necessarily Express what we’re truly like we can kid ourselves. We can fool ourselves into thinking we’re doing the right thing, but if our underlying motive is all wrong, it’s meaningless. And so Paul says, the reason why we speak the truth, at the end of verse 25 is for, we are members one of another That’s the sort of attitude that should drive us to want to speak the truth.

16. 8:27

    Not just to say the truth for the truth sake. But because when members of each other because we’re in a community were in a family and we’re looking out for each other and we want to be people of integrity and faithfulness to each other because we love each other. and so, because when members of each of one another in one family that drives us to want to speak the truth, Let’s look at the example in verse 28, he says that the thief no longer steal and we stopped stealing well. We replace what our hands were previously doing by laboring doing honest.

17. 9:08

    Work with our own hands. But again why is it that we do this kind of behavior is it for the behavior sake so that we might give an appearance at least of righteousness but then he says at the end of verse 20, E8. The again, the underlying motivation so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.

18. 9:34

    That’s what drives us to do. What? Paul counsels us to do in that verse because we want to share, we are compassionate. We see somebody in need and that drives us then into this positive behavior.

19. 9:52

    Have a look at verse 29 For your next work. Verse it says let no corrupting talk come out of your mouth. How do we stop this – Behavior by doing the positive, but only such as is good for building up as fits the occasion. But why, why do we do that? Why do we speak in a good manner? And again, he gives the the reason behind their behavior, the end of verse 29, that it may give Grace to those who hear that’s the motivation brother and sisters. We want to build each other up.

20. 10:30

    We want to give Grace to each other. That’s what drives us to do these things. And so we could summarize the the motivation that Paul outlines in those that first set of moral imperatives by saying that it’s love for our neighbor, which is the underlying attitude of mind that drives us. We know that’s the second greatest commandment under the law.

21. 10:56

    And you’ll guess what the other moral imperative is, it’s the greatest commandment under the law. What is it? That drives behavior in the next few verses. It’s our relationship with God. And the fact that God loves us and we love God and that should be the motivation behind our Behavior. So he says, for instance, in verse 32, Be kind to one another tender-hearted forgiving one another as God in Christ.

22. 11:26

    Forgave you So, being kind to one another is a good outward behavior, isn’t it? But the motivation behind it, is because we’ve developed this relationship with God, we’ve experienced the love of God, we’ve experienced his Mercy, his forgiveness, and that is what drives us to do the right thing. And again, in chapter 5 and verse 1, therefore be imitators of God. And the motivation behind that is as beloved children. It’s all very well being an imitator of God, but if it’s not based on our relationship with God, that were a child of God and we love our Father in heaven, and we want to do his will out of love for him.

23. 12:23

    Then that imitation of God should could be just a charade. And then verse 2 and walk in love as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us. A fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. So that love that, God has for us, that has been exhibited to us through his son that we remember. Now in the table that should be the fourth. The power that drives Us Now to respond in a similar way. It’s all about no motivation isn’t it? Brother and sisters we need to examine ourselves. What is it that causes me to behave in a certain kind of way. There’s something very much higher, much more important than merely coming to meeting.

24. 13:14

    Merely reading our Bibles saying, our prayers and even being kind to one another and being generous we can do all of those things brothers and sisters, but unless the motivation behind it is, right? It matters. Nothing at all. What God is looking for is character, what God is looking for is attitude? Or God is looking for is the right kind of motivation.

25. 13:44

    Vision. That’s a illustrate this a little bit more brothers and sisters. As we examine ourselves this morning, come back with me to chapter 4 verse 25 and as Paul often does in Ephesians, he quotes from the Old Testament, seemingly, sometimes quite random some of these quotations are. But when we look at the context, we can see what was going through. The Apostle.

26. 14:09

    Paul’s mind, when he quotes this time in 4:25 from the prophet of Zechariah, Shh. So it says, therefore having put away falsehood. Let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor for. We are members one of another now that phrase there to speak the truth with your neighbor is a quotation from the prophet Zechariah and chapter 8, and we need to turn back to Zechariah to figure out what is going through the Apostle, Paul’s mind.

27. 14:39

    So if you come back to Zechariah 8, The context of Zechariah it’s a vision ultimately of the kingdom of God is a vision of Jerusalem in the future, which is described as a city of righteousness, Holiness and faithfulness.

28. 15:04

    Characteristics, which should be the Hallmark of us. Now, as we journey toward Zion, And so, in that context, the prophet says, if that’s what we look forward to, ultimately, the city of righteousness, Holiness and faithfulness, what sort of people should we do, what should we be doing? And yes, this question in chapter 8 here in verse 16, the word of the Lord of hosts came to me saying sorry verse that was Verse 18, verse 16, these are the things that you shall do. You ever ask yourself the question? And what is it that I should be doing? Well.

29. 15:49

    We should as it says there in verse 16 speak the truth to one another. Those are the words that Paul quotes in Ephesians, very simple commandment for us to do, we ought to say things to each other, which are true. The speak the truth to one another and then rendering your gate. Judgments of the true and make for peace. So it’s good advice, brother and sisters but look what that he says.

30. 16:17

    In verse 17, look at the juxtaposition of these two principles, speak the truth in verse 16. But for some reason and the prophet says in verse 17, the very next verse, do not devise evil in your hearts against one another and love, no false oath for all these things, I hate declares the Lord. Now why do you suppose the prophet puts those? Those two things together and on one hand, he seen speak the truth with each other.

31. 16:49

    Render judgments that make for truth and peace. But then immediately reminds us not to devise evil in our heart against one another and don’t love any false oath. God hates that I think the reason why the prophet says this is because it’s so easy for us because of the deceitfulness of our hearts to exhibit this outward Behavior.

32. 17:16

    Even speaking the truth. But our hearts are far different from what that behavior represents. We can even in the midst of speaking. The truth at the same time being devising evil in our hearts against one another. And seeing Oaths, which are actually false and God hates that. God hates that hypocrisy. God, hates that outward behavior that has this veneer of righteousness if our hearts aren’t true to what we are seeing and what we are doing.

33. 18:01

    And it was a problem with the children of Israel in these days. If you turn back one chapter to chapter 7, when the question here of good religious behavior of a sort here comes out in chapter 7 and if you turn to verse 2, it says, the people of Bethel had centuries are and reg. Amelia can they meant to entreat the favor of the Lord saying, to the priest to the house of the Lord of hosts, and the prophets, should I weep and abstain in the fifth month as I have done for so many years?

34. 18:40

    So the question is here, should I carry on with this ritual of fasting weeping abstaining, and so forth? the answer comes back in verse 4, then the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, say to all the people of the land and the priests, when you fasted and mourned in the fifth month, and in the seventh for the 70 years, was it for me that you fasted

35. 19:11

    For God is asking. He’s asking them to examine their true motives behind their outward Behavior. Yes. It was good that you wept and abstained that you mourned that. You fasted. But was it for me? Then he says in verse 6 and when you eat and when you drink, do you not eat for yourselves and drink for yourselves? And what the the prophet here is doing really is he’s exposing their hypocrisy.

36. 19:48

    They had all the outward Behavior, right? But they weren’t doing it for God, they were doing it for themselves. They were doing it for selfish motives. I don’t have love for God. No, no love for their neighbor they maybe just wanted to look righteous and at the appearance that they were doing the right thing. You see brothers sisters we can get the behavior right? And sometimes that’s the easy part. But God is not concerned with our Behavior so much as what is the motivation behind the things that we do. Now, of course, when we come back to the New Testament, if you come with me to Matthew, this was a common theme in Jesus interaction with the Pharisees.

37. 20:39

    And when you look at the Pharisees they are, As a group like a caricature of this problem of people having the right outward Behavior, but the motivations were all wrong. And Jesus as he interacts with these men over and over again, exposes their hypocrisy opens up their hearts for examination and finds that their behavior might have been right.

38. 21:10

    Well, had this veneer of righteousness? But their attitude of course is all wrong. And that’s not for us just to Simply point the finger at the Pharisee. We all have this problem. Don’t we brother and sisters we all tend to have our outward behavior that can be a veneer for the truth that lies within our hearts. So let’s have a look at this example here. In Matthew chapter 9 And verse 10. This is Jesus replied at table in the house. Behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples.

39. 21:55

    And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners? But when he heard it, he said those who are well have no need of a physician but those who are sick and of course there’s some underlying irony in the word Shiva, Jesus uses that the Pharisees of course, didn’t think that they needed a physician. They were already righteous, they did all the right things. But then he says, in verse 13, go and learn what this means and what he’s doing here.

40. 22:33

    Brothers sisters, he’s given the Pharisees a little bit of homework. He says go home. Open up your Scroll of Hozier. And read what this and try to figure out what this verse means. Go and learn what this means in verse 13, I desire mercy and not sacrifice for a key not to call the righteous but sinners Oh, go home. You Pharisees.

41. 22:59

    Open up Hozier. Find where it says, I will have mercy and not sacrifice and try to figure out what that means. Well, let’s do the homework for them. Let’s go to Hosea and the reading that we had Hosea chapter 6, And if the Pharisees, who listen to Jesus really contemplated what Hozier is saying here, it should have been absolutely mind-blowing for them.

42. 23:38

    Because their religion was all centered around that ritualistic behavior. Of things like sacrifice and burnt offerings and fasts and go in a meeting on a Sunday morning and reading the Bible and saying your prayers before meals and breaking bread and drinking wine. All those things that we do which are right and necessary.

43. 24:01

    But look what Hosea says in chapter 6 year I desire Mercy or steadfast love. Loving kindness and not sacrifice. The knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. And what the prophet says here, on behalf of God is, I’m not interested in sacrifices. I’m not interested in burnt offerings. What I want is character. And what I want is knowledge in the kind of knowledge. Your of course is that intimate knowledge that we have that we’ve developed this relationship with God and we know truly who he is, that’s what God wants. And ultimately doesn’t care about the sacrifices of the burnt offerings and all this.

44. 24:52

    This outward stuff that we do, which is completely meaningless without the right motivation behind it. And that’s of course what the Pharisees should have learned by going to who Hosea. Insert. Sorry character in verse 6 and knowledge of God. This is a theme that runs all the way through the book of Hosea Hosea keeps hammering. This point home.

45. 25:20

    It’s not about the sacrifices, it’s not about the outward Behavior. It has its place but as useless pointless without Mercy and knowledge of God.

46. 25:38

    Let’s come back to chapter 4 of Hosea. Look What God Says through the prophet here. And verse 19. What the Hosea says in, leading up to chapter 6 in chapters 4 and 5, he lists the sins of the people sins that they they try to cover up. They have this kind of fig Leaf religion, as I like to call it, they were just like Adam and Eve in the garden.

47. 26:10

    Who when their sin was exposed, instead of Simply admitting their sin, they try to cover over there. Shame of your nakedness with fig leaves and that’s what we tend to do, isn’t it? Brother and sisters. We like to present ourselves as righteous and holy people hiding away. The fact that when we go to our homes, that were not quite as righteous and holy as we appear.

48. 26:36

    So he says, in verse 19, ultimately, at the end of the verse, they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices. They tried to cover their Sheen by this fig. Leaf religion, by doing all the outward, right things. But ultimately they shall be ashamed. Their nakedness shall be exposed.

49. 27:02

    No, what was the problem? Well, let’s look at the first couple of verses of chapter 4, hear the word of the Lord O children of Israel for the Lord has a controversy with the inhabitants of the Land. There is no faithfulness or steadfast love. And no knowledge of God In the Land. There is swearing lying, murder stealing, and committing adultery.

50. 27:26

    They break all bounds and bloodshed follows Bloodshed. So yes, they were doing the rituals they I would perform in the sacrifices they were going to the temple. That would go in a meeting on a Sunday morning. They were going to bible class. They were going to cyc, they were doing their readings. They were saying their prayers before their meals. They were writing cards to those who are sick, they were doing all the things that are good and right? And just, but without the character and knowledge of God, there was no faithfulness, no steadfast love, no knowledge of God.

51. 28:05

    And instead the list of sins in verse 2, so that was the problem with the people, and that’s why it leads up into chapter 6, that where God says, I have no use for your sacrifices, no use if you go into the temple and performing a sacrifice, it’s it’s meaningless to me because your hearts are not in the right place and then quite eerily in this verse that Jesus quotes, back in chapter 6, verse 6, accordingly, then goes on to say, In a prophecy of the, the very thing that Jesus was experiencing as he battled with these Hypocrites in verse 7.

52. 28:48

    But like Adam, they transgressed the Covenant, there, they dealt faith. Faith Leslie with me, Gilead has a city of evildoers tract with blood as robbers. Lie in wait for a man. So the priests band together, they murder on the way to shechem. They commit villainy. That’s exactly what Jesus was going to experience as the priests did band together and murdered him. So let’s come back.

53. 29:19

    If you would to Matthew, Jesus has given the Pharisees this this homework to do. a little while later, if you go over to chapter 12, He meets up with them again. Three chapters later, Matthew, chapter 12, And this time, it’s on the Sabbath. And at least according to the interpretation of the Pharisees, these men were disobeying the rules of the Sabbath day as they were hungry.

54. 29:56

    And the disciples in verse 1, began to pluck, heads of green and to eat. And we know the rest of the story that Jesus get into this argument, where the Pharisee say, look, what your disciples are doing their eat, they’re working on a Sabbath day. This is, this is ridiculous.

55. 30:13

    Jesus gives the answer in verse 3. Have you not read what David did when he was hungry and those who were with him, how we enter the house of God and ate the bread of the presence which was not lawful for him to eat and for those who are with him but only for the priests.

56. 30:27

    And and what Jesus is doing among other things, here is tell him the Pharisees that you, you fail to understand that sometimes one principle is higher than another.

57. 30:41

    And the fact that David was on the run from the enemy here and needed some bread was more important than the fact that strictly speaking. He should not have partaken of the showbread and likewise in verse 5. Have you not read in the law on the Sabbath? The priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and a Guiltless that the priests worked on the Sabbath.

58. 31:06

    But that’s because one principle here is higher than another Those who are mixed up in a Farah sale gorillas, and just simply do not understand this point. So, he says, in verse 6, they tell you something greater than the temple is here. Something greater from the temple is here, there is something more important than sacrifices and burnt offerings. And here was the one who was full of grace and truth standing before them.

59. 31:43

    And the things that he demonstrated and exhibited in his way of life were more important than the temple. And so he says, in verse 7, if you had known what this means I desire mercy and not sacrifice. He would not have condemned the Guiltless for the son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.

60. 32:03

    And what Jesus says to the Pharisees there, I told you three chapters ago, go home, open your Scroll of Hozier Reaver 6, look at the context, figure it out, they haven’t done it. You can in one ear out the other and they didn’t have a clue, did they brothers and sisters? Because they were so caught up in this outward.

61. 32:23

    Righteous veneer of a religion. and he says, in verse 8 the law, the son of man is Lord of the Sabbath and The principal lab runs is this is not to let rituals rule over us. They’re meant to be a tool, not a master And sometimes, as I said one, sometimes one principle is more important than another just in passing is interested in Jesus.

62. 32:51

    Illustrates this whole principle by going to the law, the writings, and the prophets, the three areas of the Old Testament that were sacrosanct to the the Jews. He goes to the law by saying the priests worked on the Sabbath. He goes to the writings in the illustration with David, and then he goes to the prophets with a quotation again from Hosea. So the Old Testament taught this principle. So brothers sisters, then what is the lesson for us? As we now perform a ritual?

63. 33:25

    We come here to partake of the bread and the cup in this ritualistic way. and here we are, all are doing as we do every Sunday, everything decently and in order, We’ve come dressed up, we’ve prepared everything, everything’s going according to plan and here we are as we do things in the right way. Well that’s two into two more passages to just to hammer home the point for us brothers and sisters. If you go over to chapter 23, this is the classic chapter in which Jesus gives the series of woe to you scribes and Pharisees hypocrites.

64. 34:12

    And he says in this chapter that there is a place for ritual. It’s not that we go from one extreme to the other and say Well since it’s all about character, an attitude then let’s just do away with baptism and breaking of bread and saying prayers before meals and all the. The ritualistic things we do know Jesus says, no there’s a place for it. But again, they’re useless these things without the underlying motivation behind them.

65. 34:40

    So he says, in verse 23 of chapter 23, woe to you, scribes and Pharisees Hypocrites for you tithe mint and Dill, and cumin and have neglected, the weightier matters of the law, Justice, and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done without neglecting the others. Please note that we neglect the bread and the cup.

66. 35:08

    But that we do it with the right attitude of mind. And so as we come here this morning brother and sisters, let us examine ourselves. Why are we here? Do we do it for ourselves? Or are we doing it out of love? For our neighbor and love for our God, one more passage brother and sisters come with me to another famous passage in 1st Corinthians chapter 13. I desire mercy and not sacrifice. Do you ever look at your life in the truth brothers and sisters as a sacrifice.

67. 35:53

    They ever catch yourself saying, huh? I’d rather stay in this morning. Sunday morning. I have to get up. It’s my one chance in the week to sleep in but no, I’ll go to meeting. I got to make that sacrifice or well. I’d rather watch my show, but I ought to do the readings with the family. I think I’ll make that sacrifice and everything is just a sacrifice Now, if we get into this attitude of Mind, brothers and sisters, everything is just a sacrifice. Then I think we’re missing the point life in the truth. Should not be a sacrifice life in the truth. Should be a joy.

68. 36:38

    Because we love our brothers and sisters were members of each other. We want to come together because we love each other so much that we meet together out of love for each other. Not because it’s a sacrifice, I’d rather be doing something else. And if that’s the if that’s our attitude of Mind, brothers and sisters that has coming here, this morning is simply a veneer hiding. The fact that our hearts are somewhere else And my walk towards the kingdom, in which I put off the old man, should not be a sacrifice because I love God so much, and I want to be in his kingdom more than anything else. And it’s a joy for me to say goodbye to that old way of life. So, let’s not think that life is a sacrifice brother and sisters. Look what the Apostle Paul says here in 1st Corinthians 13:1. He says, if I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love.

69. 37:36

    I am a noisy, gong or a dangling. Singer, clanging cymbal if I have prophetic powers and understand all Mysteries and all knowledge and I have all Faith. So as to remove mountains, but not have love. I am nothing. If I give away all I have, if I deliver up my body to be burned, what greater sacrifice but have not love. I gain nothing.

70. 38:02

    So, ultimately brothers and sisters, it doesn’t matter how much we sacrifice. In our lives. If it’s not motivated from love of God and love for our neighbor, it is nothing. Is he brother and sisters? God doesn’t just want us to do loving things, he wants us to be loving people. Thank you for listening to the good christophany talks podcast.
