#444: "Proud" by Ben Fuller
Manage episode 345710954 series 2391880
When Ben Fuller sings, "Making my Father proud looks a whole lot different now" in his new song "Proud," he is ripping pages out of my story and laying them bare. I spent a lot of energy trying to please earthly men. What I really want to know is how to please my Heavenly Father.
Join me as we dive into a few ways we can please God. The question is, are we up for the challenge?
In this week's episode, I discuss the following:
- Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include:
- Consult an overview
- Read in context (read the whole letter)
- Listen to an audio version of the text
- Follow the cross-references
- Make observations
- Make a list
- Complete a word study
- Consult an outside resource
- Meditate on Scripture
- Compare and contrast
- How my personal story is reflected in the lyrics of Ben Fuller's song, "Proud"

- Our hope that we can ever walk in the Spirit - Romans 8:9-11

- The Greek word for "avenger" - BibleHub.com - God is a justice giver and cares deeply about this subject
- John Stott, "Some Christians sow to the flesh every day and wonder why they do not reap holiness. Holiness is a harvest; whether we reap it or not depends almost entirely on what and where sow."
