Matthew 25
Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids
25 “Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten bridesmaids[a] who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3 The five who were foolish didn’t take enough olive oil for their lamps, 4 but the other five were wise enough to take along extra oil. 5 When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6 “At midnight they were roused by the shout, ‘Look, the bridegroom is coming! Come out and meet him!’
7 “All the bridesmaids got up and prepared their lamps. 8 Then the five foolish ones asked the others, ‘Please give us some of your oil because our lamps are going out.’
9 “But the others replied, ‘We don’t have enough for all of us. Go to a shop and buy some for yourselves.’
10 “But while they were gone to buy oil, the bridegroom came. Then those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was locked. 11 Later, when the other five bridesmaids returned, they stood outside, calling, ‘Lord! Lord! Open the door for us!’
12 “But he called back, ‘Believe me, I don’t know you!’
13 “So you, too, must keep watch! For you do not know the day or hour of my return.
In the end times… don’t run out of oil
If oil is so valuable in so many ways… why would these virgins forget to take more oil… And yes in regards to the anointing of following christ - ?Why? We get a little insight in 2 Timothy.
2 Tim. 4:3For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 5But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.…
They were fooled into thinking that didn’t need oil anymore. They got tired of oil… they got Tired of Jesus… weird right, but it can happen unless you keep your life full of his oil, his anointing, his intimacy…

Prov.15:1 A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.
HB answer = how you respond
Wrath - heat or rage… it escalates
Harsh - a specific word to incite pain
Anger - Not only makes you angry but changes your countenance
- This is one more opportunity to lean in on Gods grace and be changed in a healthy way,,, become more like Jesus.
- remember, silence is not strength but rather cowardice and weakness.

8 reasons why you shut your mouth and quit sharing your life and struggles with your woman…
And what you can do about it… this will be a series…
7 - if I share with you how I truly feel, and you feel attacked and turn it into an argument, I will typically never share with you on that topic again.
8 - you may have trauma in your life from the past, so it causes you to overreact, or read into how she responds.
i.e. you bring it up but you don’t set the tone right, so you don’t bring it up thinking its her but its actually you who cant deal with it.
How to deal with it
- Find a lightning rod
- seek spiritual counseling
- stay around strong Christian men
- Challenge negative and controlling thoughts, - embrace forgiveness
- We talked about this before, but again
- remind her, there are three types of relationships. One is healthy. What is unhealthy and one is no relationship. Challenge her to choose healthy or there will be no relationship in that area.
- realize you can build confidence in confrontation. You don't need her to respond correctly in order so that you continue to speak the truth in love. But always speak the truth in love regardless of how she might accept it. This is how you build unshakable confidence.

Silence is not strength. If You choose to not deal with hurts and issues realize you are choosing the easiest thing To do -not the hardest or most brave… and definitely not the healthiest way to deal with issues.
Yes we all have stuff to deal with and we all have stuff to bury… but should we?
And Why Do we??
4 - you were taught to internalize things
Next door neighbor…. Professional athlete…baseball in the backyard
5 - sometimes men don't share because they don't understand the dynamics of a healthy relationship. And maybe the partner doesn't either so they're both stuck in emotional lockdown.
Partners share all things in a healthy relationship.
The more healthy a relationship the more you share your intimate moments, details and insecurities… even sins - typically a sign of health. AND NOT just share them but work thru them.
6 - Another reason is he just may not trust you. He knows you just cant keep a secret due to your own insecurities.
He sees you with others… they ask you (your wife) to not say anything… and you say OH I WOULD NEVER… but than you do, so im not going to say anything to you im not worried about sharing with others even if you promise me you wont.

Yesterday was #1 she may use it against you.
TODAY…
2 - He may not want her to worry about him, or to think less of him.
What happens if you tell your wife that you are tempted to talk behind someone's back at work so that you get the promotion. Or that you are struggling with porn or lust or that you haven't read or prayed for a few weeks. Your first concern is how she will then see you and how that will then affect your relationship. And don't get me wrong she will see you differently but depending on what the woman is made of, she will either encourage you convict you reject you or silence you.
A great conversation to have with someone before they are your Wife is to find out what you can and can't share with them and how they would respond. Remember, maybe one of David's wives should've asked him because you are king and can have him do anything. should I be worried about you finding other women?
3 - he may not share his true heart because it's about you, his wife and he knows you can't handle it. This is the number one issue in most relationships.
Women who grew up in homes of divorce, do not handle, confrontation well at all. And it will manifest later in their own marriage.
My wife comes from an upbringing where her mother had four different men in her life, and they were all very dysfunctional and even evil. But they all - but one, were divorced from her mom. Let's just say early on my wife, could not handle confrontation no matter how minor it would be. We had to work through this and be honest we still are.
When you share the truth with someone because you love them and want what's best for them and they don't receive it, they can't handle it and they pull back or blame -overtime you shut down, and your love them can even dwindle.

Yes we all have stuff to deal with and we all have stuff to bury… but should we?
How do you deal with your hurt especially from the one you love the most.
1 - She uses it against you later on.
She herself may be wounded. And when people use your weaknesses as weapons against you- it can cause a man to shut down in a millisecond?
Then he distrusts others… even other trusted men.
Here is a different perspective from the word of God when we talk about sharing the gospel and being rejected. The Bible tells us that we will be despised and rejected for sharing Christ so we aren't shocked when it happens. We're still cool to do it because it's the right thing. And the same way we are still call to share our hurts our emotions and our feelings with our loved ones even if they won't except it or even if they use it against us. But knowing this text some of the sting out of it when it happens.
An illustration are used to use regarding this point is when I would go to speak to a large group of teenagers before walking out on the stage will be introduced. I would unzip my zipper. It wouldn't take more than a few seconds, and Kids would start yelling your zippers down your zippers down. They will expect me to become incredibly embarrassed, but instead, I would simply reach in my pocket and pull out a note and ask one of them to read it into the microphone, and the note would say this, I know my zippers down why are you looking. Kids would laugh, but then I would explain to them that I'm not embarrassed because I knew it was down. I knew what was happening and I was prepared. If you have the Same mindset when you share your intimate hurts and feelings with your spouse, it lessens the blow if they choose to ever use it against you.

How did they make it
200,000 people diverse as any city… but they were the only Christians…
You get dropped off in some city, sexual sin is promoted and practiced…. Drugs, paganism… anything goes… and your the only Xn…. How do you not only make it but thrive?
1 Thessalonians says they experienced salvation with not just words but also in power… it allowed them to practice…
Holiness and no compromise.
Holiness? Sounds very antiquated in todays world… yes and lets talk ab about how to can our own rutabagas…
the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:16 NLT
But in today's world, it sounds too simple, too naïve and too abstract. What exactly does it mean?
The truth is when you truly study holiness, you might end up feeling like you are dressed up in a costume and calling yourself a Christian because the fact is you really aren't holy when you understand what it means in scripture.
I believe when one looks at scripture, you understand that holiness goes beyond simply doing with the Bible says. You can obey all the commands, and still not be holy, you asked how does that work?
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me. Matthew 16:24 NLT
Being holy goes beyond rules and regulations and cuts to the heart. Are you selfish in any of the things you choose to do or say or where you go? The truth is holiness in some sense of the word is different for me than it is for you. Yes we both confess the same Jesus and we both follow the same Scriptures and commands however he might call me to stand out in different ways in how I would I choose to do it. The question you can ask in anything you do or say, or for any motive is this is this truly selfish or is this truly godly? And then ask God to give you guidance into what to do or to say in order to stand apart and be Holy.

This Friday surgery… another shoulder replacement, reattach the super spinouts, and work on the labrum. They say 6-8 months rehab and recovery.
My goal has always been at 60 to still bench over 400, squat and deadlift over 600… totally on track with deals and squats… but bench… oh my my… maybe not. But please pray for me!
Acts 27: 18 The next day, as gale-force winds continued to batter the ship, the crew began throwing the cargo overboard. 19 The following day they even took some of the ship’s gear and threw it overboard. 20 The terrible storm raged for many days, blotting out the sun and the stars, until at last all hope was gone.
21 No one had eaten for a long time. Finally, Paul called the crew together and said, “Men, you should have listened to me in the first place and not left Crete. You would have avoided all this damage and loss. 22 But take courage! None of you will lose your lives, even though the ship will go down. 23 For last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me, 24 and he said, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul, for you will surely stand trial before Caesar! What’s more, God in his goodness has granted safety to everyone sailing with you.’ 25 So take courage! For I believe God. It will be just as he said. 26 But we will be shipwrecked on an island.”
I read verse 25, 26 and always see Paul at that moment like Carl Spackler aka Bill Murray in Caddy Shack…
And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.
Total consciousness: the state of being conscious; awareness of one's own existence, sensations, thoughts, surroundings, full activity of the mind and senses, as in waking life
What if we took slices of history out of our life from the future and looked at it with this attitude…
2 years from now… This is written in your pre-history… yes, your wife will get cancer and it will affect your finances greatly and you will struggle to keep your job…But be of courage, God is good and he will use this in your life to bring about a great peace and a wonderful opportunity to tell others about Jesus… so I got that going for me… so thats nice.
What is this saying… Paul wasn’t believing in God due to the circumstances around him… ship is breaking apart, waves pummeling the sailors, Black clouds, lightening… men in deep fear…
Sometimes in life we must simply believe the best is yet to come simply because of who God is and now what we see or are experiencing at the moment.
The only thing that can get you through the storms, the only thing that can sustain you is Gods faithfulness.
In the middle of hard times (and lets be honest, I don’t know what the future holds) I remind myself of Gods faithfulness from the past. I will tell myself… you will be 4 months behind in your house payment, your car payment and you will have to sell some guitars, and your Harley and your wife will struggle with with her trust in God… You will wonder if you will ever will have enough money… But someone will talk into the bookstore and hand you an envelope with $10,000 in it. And a week later someone else will hand you a check for $10,000… but you will still have some hard times with your son running from God and in jail and guns and drugs… So you got that going for you… so thats nice.
I know 2 things are certain… not death and taxes…
But rather Hard times and Gods faithfulness.
When all resources run out, all earthly wisdom has failed, all friends and family can’t help anymore… when people are actually start avoiding you because they feel drained by your problems…. God will be faithful.
Gal. 6: 9 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
Do not grow weary… God will be faithful. God will come through… Don’t quit trusting him, Don’t quit living for him, Don’t quit loving him and Don’t doubt him…. Because in time you will have total consciousness… so you got that going for you… which is nice.

Basket ball game: referee experience as a parent! I couldn’t call the right fouls, people yelling at me, everyone mad at me… when I do call a foul it was on my own son, when I went over to the bench to get some consoling from Kim she looked at me like… “You should be ashamed!”
I WAS FRIED AFTER THAT GAME… FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS… WEERY!
HERE IS A LITTLE SECRET…
The truth is it will never be easier to serve God than right now… history is becoming peeled back and truth will dwindle. As it does the ability to freely serve God will become mountainous.
***WE FAIL TO ENGAGE IN CULTURE WHEN WE ARE WEERY!
Galatians 6:6 Those who are taught the word of God should provide for their teachers, sharing all good things with them. 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. SOUNDS GOOD SO FAR RIGHT? 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Gal. 6:7-10 WUEST
God is not being outwitted and evaded. For whatever a man is in the habit sowing this also will he reap. Because the one who sows with a view to his own evil nature, from his evil nature as a course shall reap corruption. But the one who sows with a view to the Spirit , from the Spirit as a source shall reap life eternal. Let us not slacken our exertions by reason of the weariness that comes with prolonged effort in habitually doing that which is good. For in a season which in its character is appropriate we shall reap if we do not become enfeebled through exhaustion and fait. So then, in like manner, let us be having opportunity, let us be working that which is good to all, but especially to those of the household of faith.
Do not grow weary
Weary - the will… do not start in the spirit only to sow in the flesh.
Not weary in the flesh as in “physically tired” - but weary in the spirit so you sow into your soul/flesh appetites.
GK ek-kak-eh’-o = to be negatively influenced by the lack of outcome
Doing Good - inspire and motivate someone to do what is lovely… or GODLY
What would keep you from sowing? What would make you give up? What if I said you won’t see the reaping until after you die?
Fatigue makes cowards of us all. Vince Lombardi
Our trials our sin, evil, satanic, lust, the world… but the hardest is Weariness into apathy.
You don’t have to backslide, you don’t have to run from God, you don’t have to fall into addiction or some great sin… to be ineffective you just need to be tired.
If there is one thing that will discourage me more than anything is this… being tired with nothing to show for it.
Impatience is a disease… WHERE IS THE FRUIT?
As Spurgeon said…
The duty is to “do” without knowing “what or when” it will happen.
The context of this verse tells us that there will be times where we don’t feel
Gods blessing,
his favor,
his excitement,
his pleasure
his fruit….
PRE-DANGER (and then 3 dangers)
You must know how to read your emotions
Tell tale signs of emotional drain include:
1. wanting to be alone,
2. becoming sarcastic,
3. over eating,
4. sleeping less and sleeping worse,
5. quick and superficial desires,
6. burnout,
7. hating your job,
8. feeling like home is work,
9. arrogance or I’m not drained attitude ( the scariest problem with this is you don’t see it…it is everybody else’s problem),
It intensifies you’re existent personality quirks into full blown negatives and ultimately weakness.
Being emotionally drained is a lot like having to go the bathroom really bad. You hold it, your bladder is tight, everything makes you feel uncomfortable, and you really can’t enjoy anything until you relieve the pressure. You could be in the middle of your Christmas morning, your birthday, an awards ceremony… but if you really got to go it is almost impossible to enjoy the moment.
WEERY!
