Preaching God’s Word at St Andrew’s, Dumbarton: 5th July 2009

The enemy is defeated.
David defeats Goliath. This is not only a story about David and Goliath. It is about the Israelites and the Philistines. It is about ‘God’ and the ‘gods’(1 Samuel 17:43, 46). Victory comes from the Lord. It is given by grace. It is received by faith (47). Notice the contrast between the attitude of Saul – unbelief -and the attitude of David – faith (1 Samuel 17:33, 37). Unbelief is all around us. Don’t be pulled into it. Don’t forget God. Remember what He has done for you and thank Him that He will not fail you now (1 Samuel 17:37). Put off the armour provided by men. ‘Put on the whole armour of God’(1 Samuel 17:38-40; Ephesians 6:11). We will not win the victory if we fight in our own strength. We must draw our strength from the Lord. He helps us. We are ‘strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man’(Psalm 121:2; Psalm 124:8; Ephesians 3:16).
We have the victory in Christ.
‘I will give thanks to the Lord…’(Psalm 9:1-2). The enemy is defeated (Psalm 9:3-6). ‘The Lord sits enthroned for ever’(Psalm 9:7). ‘The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble’(Psalm 9:9). What an encouraging Psalm this is: We have the victory in Christ. Nevertheless, it is not easy when we face determined opposition from the enemies of Christ and His Gospel: ‘Behold what I suffer from those that hate me’(Psalm 9:13). In this situation, we must call upon the Lord: ‘Arise, O Lord! Let not man prevail’(Psalm 9:19). Though the conflict is raging all around, we must – taking our stand in Christ – declare God’s praises and rejoice in His salvation (Psalm 9:14). ‘The Lord dwells in Zion’(Psalm 9:11): ‘Blest inhabitants of Zion, Washed in the Redeemer’s blood’, may we always say, ‘Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy Name.’
Pass the message on.
There are some things that are worth repeating! The story of God’s amazing grace is worth repeating over and over again – ‘Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress’(Psalm 107:6, 13, 19, 28). The call to praise the Lord is also something we need to hear again and again – ‘Let them give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love and His wonderful deeds for men’(Psalm 107:8, 15, 21, 31). Let us ‘consider the great love of the Lord.’ Let us ‘give thanks to the Lord’ (Psalm 107:43, 1). ‘The great love of God is revealed in the Son, who came to this earth to redeem every one. That love, like a stream flowing clear to the sea, makes clean every heart that from sin would be free… It’s yours, it is ours, O how lavishly given! The pearl of great price, and the treasure of heaven!’

Richard Holloway, “Doubts and Loves: What’s Left of Christianity” – Preface (pp. ix -xi)
Richard Holloway describes Doubts and Loves as a follow-up to his earlier book, Godless Morality. We read the title, Godless Morality, and we ask, “Is our highest calling – “love the Lord your God” – to be replaced with the call to “love our neighbour?” If, however, we are to maintain the importance of loving both God and our neighbour, we must ask, “How are the two to be related to each other?”
—–
In the Preface to Doubts and Loves, Holloway speaks about ‘the most traumatic experience of my life.” That’s how he describes “the Lambeth Conference of 1998.” At this Conference, the “hot topic was the status of homosexuals in the Church.” He had gone to the Conference with definite expectations: “I went to Canterbury naively expecting that we would craft a classic Anglican compromise that would allow us to go on working till some kind of creative consensus emerged in the future.” (p. ix). Things turned out differently: “the debate on the subject turned into an ugly rout, with the vast majority of bishops passing a resolution that condemned homosexuals as sinful.”
Holloway says that “the tone of the debate was devastating.” He tells us that it was filled with hateful glee” (p. x). He recalls that “one English bishop” likened it to a “a Nuremberg rally.” For himself, “it was like stumbling on a lynching organised by your own brothers.”
Comment
Holloway’s account of this Conference – “hateful glee … a Nuremberg rally … a lynching” – brings to mind the story of “a woman caught in adultery” (John 8:3-11). One thinks, especially, of the harsh words of “the scribes and Pharisees” – “such should be stoned” (3-5).
The woman’s acuusers put a question to Jesus - “What do you say?” (5). In verse 11, Jesus had two things to say to the woman – (a) “Neither do I condemn you”; (b) “Go and sin no more.”
Jesus is critical of the judgmental attitude of the scribes and Pharisees. Speaking the wonderful words of love, “Neither do I condemn you”, He protects her from their deplorable intolerance of the sinner.
Jesus is not, however, uncritical of the woman’s way of life. Rejecting the attitude of the scribes and Pharisees – a deplorable intolerance of the sinner, Jesus responds with a commendable intolerance of sin. As well as His wonderful word of love – “Neither do I condemn you”, He issues the call to holiness – “Go and sin no more.”
What are to say about Jesus’ response to this woman? Was this the kind of “classic … compromise” that Holloway was looking for when he went to the Conference?
Jesus refused to ’stone’ the woman. He was giving her a future. It was not, however, to be a return to her old way of life. She was to live a new life. It was to be a life of holiness.
This is what the Psalmist spoke about, “There is forgiveness with You, that You may be feared” (Psalm 130:4).
This is what Paul also spoke about – “where sin abounded, grace abounded much more … Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?” (Romans 5:20-6:2).
Was this “a classic … compromise?” Was it not simply the faithful teaching that those who receive God’s forgiveness are called to live a holy life?
—–
Holloway also recalls a particular memory from that Conference. He describes a “demonstration” which took place “one lunch time during the conference, which was held on th campus of the University of Kent.” He tells us that the “demonstrators” were “politely told … how offensive and out of place their attitudes were in a university that prized human rights and personal freedom.” The demonstrators “answered with texts from the Bible.” Holloway regarded the demonstrators’ action as “blind prejudice and ugly hatred in the name of Jesus.” He tells us that this incident “radically altered my attitude to Christianity.”
Comment
Whatever may be said about this particular demonstration, the incident raises the question, “What are we to do with the words of the Bible when they appear to be in conflict with our understanding of “human rights and personal freedom?” Are we to look for an interpretation of the Bible which removes all hint of any conflict?
As well as emphasizing the importance of “human rights”, the Bible also speaks to us about the divine right to tell us how we are to live, if we are to enjoy the divine blessing.
Alongside the call for “personal freedom”, there is, in the Bible, a different understanding of freedom. The Bible warns us against a misuse of our “freedom.” We can use our “freedom” to do what we want to do without considering what God wants us to do. This is a “freedom” from which we need to be set free. We need to be set free by Jesus Christ – “if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36).
How does “the Son” sets us free? He says this to us, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). What is this truth which sets us free? – It is the truth which brings the forgiveness of sins – “Neither do I condemn you.” It is the truth which calls for holy living – “Go and sin no more.”
What we have been in the past does not disqualify us from receiving God’s forgiveness. When we receive God’s forgiveness, we are called to put the past behind us. We are called to “walk in newness of life” – “do not let sin reign in your mortal body” (Romans 6: 4, 12).
How does this relate to the “hot topic” of “the Lambeth Conference of 1998″? We must take care not to adopt attitudes which could be described as “blind prejudice and ugly hatred.” Rejoicing in God’s gift of forgiveness, we must remember that there is a deplorable intolerance of the sinner, which must be carefully avoided. When, however, we take seriously the call to holy living, we may remain unconvinced by reinterpretations of the words of Romans 1:26-27. We note that these controversaial words come immediately after the words of Romans 1:18 – ‘the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness.” We do continue to ask, “Is there not a divine intolerance of sin, which lies behind our uneasiness with modern reinterpretations of Romans 1:26-27?” When we speak of this divine intolerance of sin, we dare not forget that we are speaking also of the God who “demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). When we speak of the great love of God for sinners – “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1), let us make sure that we do not forget to emphasize that those who have received God’s forgiveness are called to live a holy life – “Go and sin no more.”

Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost: 2 Samuel 11:26-12:13a; Psalm 51:1-12 (or Exodus 16:2-4, 9-15); Psalm 78:23-29; Ephesians 4:1-16; John 6:24-35
Forgiven by the Lord
We read about David, the sinner – ‘the thing that David had done displeased the Lord’(2 Samuel 11:27). We learn much about God’s dealings with sinners. In 2 Samuel 12:7, there is conviction of sin – ‘You are the man’. In 2 Samuel 12:13, we have confession of sin – ‘I have sinned against the Lord’ – and forgiveness of sin – ‘The Lord has taken away your sin.’ In 2 Samuel 12:20, there is the restoration of the sinner – ‘washed… anointed… changed… he went into the house of the Lord, and worshipped’. Throughout life, there are choices between our own will and the will of the Lord. Sometimes, we make wrong choices. We choose our own way rather than the Lord’s way. Throughout life, God is speaking to us. He is trying to get our attention. He wants it to be less of self and more of Him. He is leading us to say from the heart, ‘As for God, His way is perfect’(2 Samuel 22:31; Psalm 18:30). May we have this testimony: ‘I have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not done evil by turning from my God’(Psalm 18:21).
‘Create in me a clean heart, O God… Cast me not away from Thy presence… Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation’(Psalm 51:10-12). These words come to us from the ancient past. They were first spoken many centuries ago. They can be the words which change your future. You can make them your words. David made a new beginning with God. You can make a new beginning with God. You have sinned. You need to be forgiven. Come to Christ. He says, ‘I will never turn away anyone who comes to Me’(John 6:37). You need to be ‘born again’. Receive Christ as your Saviour and be ‘born again’ – ‘born of God’(John 3:3,7; 1:12). You feel so weak, unable to be the person God wants you to be. Let ‘the joy of the Lord be your strength’(Nehemiah 8:10). Let His love reach you. Let His power make you a new person.
Feeding on the Lord
God allows His people to suffer difficulties. Why? – To strengthen our faith (Exodus 15:25; Exodus16:4; Deuteronomy 8:2,16; 1 Peter 1:6-7). He chastens us, to teach us repentance (Revelation 3:19). Don’t forget God’s love. He is faithful: ‘He didn’t bring us this far to leave us’. He shows us His glory (Exodus 16:7). He assures us that He is God (Exodus 16:12). He provides us with ‘daily bread’(Exodus 16:4). Yesterday’s ‘bread’is insufficient for today’s challenges (Exodus 16:19-20). ‘Morning by morning’, the ‘bread’is to be gathered (Exodus 16:21; Lamentations 3:22-23). Jesus is the Living Bread (John 6:32-35,48-51). Feed on Him each day. Don’t invite spiritual starvation by missing days. If you miss some days, don’t let it continue. Remember: ‘Seven days without prayer makes one weak’! ‘How long has it been since you talked with the Lord?’Too long? It is time to pray and feed on Jesus!
‘Can God spread a table in the wilderness?’(Psalm 78:19). We are living in a spiritual wilderness. We wonder, ‘Can God continue to bless us in this wilderness?’. How does God’s Word answer our question? – ‘You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies’. In the ‘wilderness’, there are many ‘enemies’. There is also the ‘table’. At the ‘table’, God blesses us – ‘You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows’(Psalm 23:5). We are in the ‘wilderness’, surrounded by many ‘enemies’. What are we to do? – We must come to the ‘table’ – the Lord’s Table. We must come to Christ. We must drink from ‘the cup of salvation’(Psalm 116:7). Come to the Saviour. Look to Him for His blessing. He will not disappoint you. You will be ‘anointed with the oil of gladness’. His blessing will be poured upon you ‘like precious oil’(Psalm 45:7; Psalm 133:2).
Jesus said, ‘I am the Bread of Life; he who comes to me shall not hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst’(John 6:35). Jesus had enemies – ‘The Jews then murmured at Him, because He said, “I am the bread which comes down from heaven”’(John 6:41). Christ’s enemies are still with us. They ‘murmur among themselves’(John 6:43). How are we to respond to this situation? We must feed on Jesus Christ, ‘the Living Bread’(John 6:51). Whatever difficulties we may face, the Lord provides for us: ‘You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies’(Psalm 23:5). We have His invitation: ‘O taste and see that the Lord is good!’(Psalm 34:8). With His provision and invitation, let us make our response: ‘We taste Thee, O Thou living Bread, and long to feast upon Thee still’(Church Hymnary, 571).
Growing in the Lord
By the grace of God we are called to salvation – ‘saved through faith’ – , sanctification – ‘for good works’ – , and service – ‘according to the gift of God’s grace… by the working of His power’, we are enabled ‘to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ’(Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 3:7-8). When we consider all this, we say in our hearts, ‘To God be the glory’! (Ephesians 3:21). We are ‘strengthened with power through His Spirit in our inner being’so that we might live as those who are saved, sanctified and serving. Even when we are deeply conscious of our own great weakness, we draw encouragement from this: God is ‘able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us’(Ephesians3:16: Ephesians 3:20). We grow in grace as we share in fellowship – ‘eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit’(Ephesians 4:3).
God wants us to ‘grow up in every way into Christ’(Ephesians 4:15). We are to ‘walk in love’(Ephesians 5:2), a life which is ‘pleasing to the Lord’(Ephesians 5:10). It is so easy for us to settle for something less than God’s very best. We settle down into a state of spiritual complacency. What does God have to say about this? – ‘Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God’(Ephesians 4:30). He gives us His wake-up call: ‘Awake, O sleeper…’(Ephesians 5:14). God says to us, ‘Awake, awake, put on your strength… Shake yourself from the dust, arise’(Isaiah 52:1-2). Have you become ‘lukewarm’? – ‘Be zealous and repent’. Christ says, ‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him’(Revelation 3:16; Revelation 3:19-20). What will you say to Him? – ‘Come into my heart, Lord Jesus. Come in today. Come in to stay’.

Saul Replaced. Saul Transformed.
Two men with the same name – Saul, the first kling of Israel, and Saul of Tarsus, the persecutor of Christ and His servants.
In both stories, we read of a new man.
* In the case of Saul, the first king of Israel, David was the new man. Saul was rejected. He was replaced.
The LORD said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and be on your way; I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem. I have chosen one of his sons to be king … So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed David in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came upon David in power. Samuel then went to Ramah” (1 Samuel 16:1, 13).
* In the case of Saul of Tarsus, it was very different. Saul became the new man. He became Paul the apostle. He was saved by the Lord. His life was transformed by the power of Christ’s love. He became a new creation in Christ Jesus. He had this great testimony: “It is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me.” (Galatians 2:20).
- We don’t need to be like Saul, the first king of Israel – castaway, laid aside as of no further use (1 Corinthians 9:27).
- Each of us can be like Paul the apostle. In 2 Corinthians 5:17, we have more than Paul’s own testimony. we have a call to each one of us. God is calling us to be transformed by the power of Christ’s love. He is calling us to become “a new creation in Christ” – “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has gone. The new has come!”

The Story Of God’s Love – The Story Of God’s Perfect Son
* Jesus is the Story of God’s love – His Story is the Story of God’s perfect Son.
—–
In Luke 15:13, we read of the prodigal son going into the “far country”. In Luke 15:20-22, we read of the joy of his homecoming -”20So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. 21The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ 22But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.”
—–
In Philippians 2:8, we read of Jesus going into “the far country” (Luke 15:13) – “He humbled Himself and became obedient to death – even death on a cross!” – so that we might have an even greatest Homecoming of all - Christ has been “exalted … to the highest place.” He has been given “the Name that is above every name.” What a day it will be when “at the Name of Jesus every knee shall bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11).

What God Must Do For Us – Salvation. What We Must Do For God – Service.
* What we must do for God – We must serve: “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” (Isaiah 6:8).
—–
Salvation and service
* Salvation leads to service.
Those who have been saved by the Lord are to serve Him.
When we serve the Lord, we must never forget that we have been saved by Him.
28 Jun
Jesus Is The Way Of Salvation, Joy And Victory.
* Jesus is the way of salvation – Concerning “the Name of Jesus Christ”, Peter tells us that “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:10, 12).
* Jesus is the way of joy – Jesus tells us, “In the world, you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
* Jesus is the way of victory - Paul gives to us this word of encouragement: “Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:57).
28 Jun
Jesus Christ Is The Good Shepherd, The Great Shepherd And The Chief Shepherd.
* Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd who died on the cross for us – “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep” (John 10:11).
* Jesus Christ is the Great Shepherd who rose from the dead for us – “May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” (Hebrews 13:20-21).
* Jesus Christ is the Chief Shepherd who is coming again for us – “Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, serving as overseers—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away” (1 Peter 5:2-4).

Learning from Berkouwer (11): What are we to say about ‘biblical criticism’? (5)
The important question of “Faith and Criticism” is not, for Berkouwer, an incidental matter. In his book, Holy Scripture, he devotes a whole chapter to the subject (Chapter Thirteen, pp. 346-366).
He distinguishes between two different types of criticism.
First, there is the kind of criticism that exalts itself above God, turning against the message of the Gospel. This kind of criticism is to be resisted, since it presents an obstacle to the knowledge of God (p. 356 – Citing Romans 9:20, he writes, “That kind of criticism … was resisted by Paul: ‘but who are you, a man, to answer back to God?’”
Second, there is the kind of criticism that recognizes “the way God speaks to us in His Word – in the form of a witness through human words” (p. 358). By recognizing the way of God’s revelation, we legitimize biblical research as a duty (pp, 358-359, 363).
The former type of criticism is to be overcome by obedience.
Berkouwer emphasizes that “When God speaks, we are not dealing merely with a margin of reliability alongside another margin of unreliability” (p. 356; cf. Chapter Nine, “Reliability”, pp. 240-266).
God’s Word calls for a total response: “It is not possible to exalt oneself above God’s speaking … God’s Word can only have one subjective correlate, namely, faith” (p. 356).
This faith is not a blind faith (pp. 349-353) – ” … the authority of God’s Word is not being enforced like an arbitrary external authority … ” (p. 349).
It is, through the Spirit’s “wooing and conquering authority” that man is drawn, in his entire existence, to believe the Gospel (p. 349). With this view of Biblical authority, Berkouwer is able to maintain that “Faith in terms of a sacrifice of the intellect is a perversion of the Christian faith and of obedience” (p. 351). In his rejection of blind obedience, he insists that ” … a sacrifice of the intellect is a dangerous view of faith; for faith would then be called to a decision without inner conviction regarding the object and content of the faith to which man is called” (p. 352).
28 Jun
Learning from Berkouwer (10): What are we to say about ‘biblical criticism’? (4)
Throughout Berkouwer’s Holy Scripture, we see his positive attitude to both the Bible as the Word of God in the words of men and biblical criticism.
The basic principle upom which he builds this view centres on his understanding of ‘listening’: “listening to God’s voice does not need to be threatened by scientific research into Holy Scripture. Man’s listening is only threatened when he stumbles over the skandalon” (p. 104; cf. Faith and Justification, p.9 (emphasis mine) – “theology is occupied in continuous attentive and obedient listening to the Word of God … listening, unlike remembering, is always a thing of the present moment.”
Berkouwer contends that the real question is whether one exercises faith in the Christ to whom the Gospel, by the Spirit and through Scripture, points. He argues that this approach is not based on a dualistic separation of history and faith. It is the view that is most in harmony with the specific purpose of Scripture – to point sinners to our Saviour, Jesus Christ (Holy Scripture, p. 180).
28 Jun
Learning from Berkouwer (9): What are we to say about ‘biblical criticism’?” (3)
The close connection between Scripture and its message demands that our relation to Scripture should be understood in terms of obedience. Berkouwer emphasizes that the reading of Scripture with a view to obedience to its message is not to be thought of as “a form of naivety whereby serious questions and reflections are out of the picture” (Holy Scripture, p. 347).Childlike faith does not mean “the attitude of one who walks with closed eyes” (p. 347). Childlike faith seeks for the Gospel in Scripture, while fully acknowledging that ” … there is much left in Scripture that arouses doubt … there are and will be questions and struggles for a correct understanding of Scripture, objections and knotty problems that ought not to be disguised or hidden from view” (p. 347). The obedience of faith does not involve the exclusion of real questions about Scripture (p. 348, cf. pp. 134, 137).
28 Jun
Learning from Berkouwer (8): What are we to say about ‘biblical criticism’? (2)
In emphasizing the importance of a childlike faith (Holy Scripture, pp. 346-348), Berkouwer insists that this is not put forward as “a cheap solution” (p. 346). It is the only appropriate response to the Gospel (pp. 346-347).
Commenting on Mark 10:15, he maintains that “on ehas all but lost a real scriptural faith if he does not immediately relate it to the call to become “as a child” … “receiving as a child … should not tempt anyone to … push aside … searching reflection … by means of a simplistic interpretation of this “childlikeness” … Someone whio is inclined in that direction has his own limited idea of “being a child”, interpreting this … as a form of naivety that can scarcely be distinguished from immaturity.” Recognizing that certain aspects of the child’s way of living are to be given up (1 Corinthians 13:11), he points out that this does not relativize Christ’s insistence on ‘receiving the kingdom as a child” (p. 347). He emphasizes that a childlike faith is a direct consequence of the belief that, in the human voice, we hear the voice of the Lord.
