00:00:00.000 In less than a year, our podcast has gone from an average of 10,000 downloads a month
00:00:04.300 to 50,000 downloads. What made the difference? You leaving us a five-star review. The more
00:00:10.260 positive reviews, the more the algorithm picks us up, and more people are confronted by the law
00:00:16.360 and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a
00:00:23.480 five-star review on your favorite podcast platform thanks now meditation and memorization
00:00:30.860 are not synonymous meditation i believe that it necessitates it assumes memorization because you
00:00:40.800 cannot begin to meditate on that which you have not committed to memory that which you do not
00:00:46.960 No. Now, Christian meditation is absolutely opposed, is diametrically opposite to Eastern
00:00:56.280 or mantra meditation. Eastern pagan demonic mantra meditation. Yoga would be an example. 0.78
00:01:05.120 Oh, but I love yoga and I love wearing my tight painted on yoga pants. Oh, get saved.
00:01:11.040 Get saved. All right. If you want to stretch, there are other ways to stretch at home.
00:01:16.960 right? Then going to your yoga instructor. Your yoga instructor is a pagan, I promise you.
00:01:25.780 They are. And they're not just trying to teach you to be physically healthy. They want you to
00:01:29.580 be physically healthy. And by the end of that six-month class, worship Satan. That is the goal.
00:01:35.400 So all that being said, mantra meditation, that was for free. You're welcome. You can leave a
00:01:39.880 gift at the door. That was, you know, mantra meditation, pagan Eastern meditation. This is
00:01:45.060 the dynamic difference between that and christian meditation it's not the christian thought that
00:01:49.640 within the christian faith that there is no meditation there is i meditate david says in
00:01:54.600 the psalms on your law day and night here's the difference mantra meditation eastern meditation
00:01:59.640 it seeks to empty the mind of all rational thought and that by somehow emptying the mind of all because
00:02:07.520 it sees rational thought. It sees the mind latching onto anything of substance as a mere
00:02:14.860 distraction from real, true, inward enlightenment. But Christian meditation, however, in precisely
00:02:23.180 opposite terms, Christian meditation only meditates on that which is substance, namely
00:02:29.540 that which is eternal. The flower fades, the grass withers, but the word of the Lord
00:02:35.880 endures forever. So in Christian meditation, David doesn't say, I meditate day and night.
00:02:41.240 No, he says, I meditate on, there's substance there, there's rational thought, there's truth
00:02:48.080 on thy law day and night. So in Christian meditation, what we must do is first, again,
00:02:55.800 meditation, memorization, not the same. However, meditation assumes memorization. So first,
00:03:02.660 we're committing God's precepts his law his commands his word to memory and then once the
00:03:09.560 word has been hidden in my heart once it's been memorized I begin to meditate on thy law on thy
00:03:17.500 law word thy truth which means I begin to think about the word and in thinking about the word I'm
00:03:25.080 thinking at least two things number one I'm thinking about the word and its meaning and not
00:03:31.200 what it means to me not a relativistic subjective interpersonal meaning well god's word means this
00:03:40.660 to me and it means that to you and no no no if we have contradicting interpretations of the word of
00:03:47.660 god we cannot all be right now you can and an egalitarian you know i'll throw you an egalitarian
00:03:53.300 bone here you can all be wrong you can all be wrong together but you can't all be right
00:03:59.600 And so when it comes to interpretation,
00:04:01.840 that is God's meaning, it's not what it means to you,
00:04:05.660 it's what it means to him.
00:04:07.540 What does God intend to convey
00:04:09.640 in this given passage of scripture?
00:04:12.300 So memorize the word of God, hide it in your heart,
00:04:15.640 commit it to memory in your mind,
00:04:17.340 and then begin to meditate,
00:04:19.260 that is to think deeply upon God's word.
00:04:23.460 In the first sense, thinking about its meaning.
00:04:26.200 What does God mean by this?
00:04:28.640 What does God intend to say?
00:04:31.000 What is God communicating to his people?
00:04:34.760 Second, we move from interpretation or meaning to application, doing.
00:04:41.460 In light of this text, in light of meditating upon it and thinking about its meaning,
00:04:48.080 and now deriving its meaning from God and not from myself, how then should we live?
00:04:54.480 how do i live in light of the meaning of what god is saying in this given passage of scripture
00:05:00.920 thinking deeply upon application this is what constantine did that vile vile enemy of the church
00:05:08.980 a hero this is what king alfred did a hero they thought upon the scripture its meaning first
00:05:18.560 and its application second? How does this scripture apply to all of life? Not just my
00:05:27.720 pietistic private little heart. Jesus is not merely Lord of your heart. Jesus is Lord of all
00:05:35.840 and not just all peoples, but every single realm of human life and society. He is Lord of the arts.
00:05:44.340 He is Lord of medicine. He is Lord of business and economics, and he most certainly is Lord
00:05:51.440 of Caesar. Caesar is not God. Caesar has a God above him, the one true triune God, the King of
00:06:00.400 kings and Lord of lords, Jesus the Christ. And what Caesar does when he's born again and truly
00:06:07.600 loves the Lord with all his heart and his soul and his mind is he seeks to understand the meaning
00:06:13.660 of scripture as he meditates upon it day and night and also its application. Not just merely
00:06:20.660 how Caesar should behave in his family, in his marriage, in his fatherhood, but how Caesar should
00:06:26.860 behave and live as Caesar in the public square as one who legislates, as one who executes,
00:06:34.280 as one who oversees the affairs of society in the civil realm. This is what it is to meditate upon
00:06:43.100 God's Word.
