0:00 Today on an instructional edition of Fixing the Money Thing. So we're talking about our series called Other Side of Faith. What does that mean? Right? The other side of faith.0:12 Well, it's talking about your responsibility. You and God are doing things together. And so it is in life, in church life, in God life. I mean, you have things you have to do, there's things you're responsible0:24 for, and you need to know how that works. So the other side of faith is we have responsibility over our lives. Now God's with us, He's helping us, there's no condemnation, He's given us His word, but we are0:36 responsible to apply the word. Gary's introducing us to the other side of faith today on fixing the money thing. So many Christians0:47 don't get that part. They trust God, so to speak. They're looking for God to do things, but they don't know their responsibility to make sure it works together. This is the principle of Newsy's law. For every0:59 action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. We have to know how this thing works to enjoy the benefits of the kingdom. The pressure and speed of the hot gases provide the force needed to turn the turbines into You1:10 gotta be involved in this process. God wants you to have every promise, but there's a part you play in it. Do something.1:24 Welcome to another edition of fixing the money thing. I'm Gary Kasey.1:28 And I'm Drenda Kasey. And we're excited to share with you the other side of faith today. So many times people are looking why things aren't working, Gary, and they're So1:37 often Christians say, Pastor, why isn't this happening? What, you know, I know the word of God. A lot of times, Drenda, it's the natural side that you mix with your faith that they miss. And today on fixing the1:49 money thing, we're gonna dive into that topic and help people maybe see the missing little link Yes. That'll cause the kingdom to manifest in their life.1:59 Yes. Where does your responsibility start and stop, and where does God's pick up at?2:03 Good question.2:04 So many times those lines are blurred That's good. In believers' minds. Sometimes they get in 1 side of the ditch, it's all gonna be God. They get in the other side of the ditch or I've gotta do it all and they toil and2:14 they they hurt their life and their health trying to work a workaholic basically. Yeah. So, where do you come in the middle to meet God where you see faith work and faith with works and2:26 you see the kingdom come to manifest in your life? That's what we're talking about today.2:30 That's right.2:30 You did an incredible teaching on that and we're gonna go to that right now.2:37 We're talking about our series called Other Side of Faith. What does that mean? Right? The other side of faith. Well, it's talking about your responsibility. You and God are doing things together.2:49 So we're gonna talk about that. Gets a little personal. I don't mean to, you know, meddle with your life, but I'm just warning you right now. I just, you know.3:01 Because we need to be meddled with. We gotta have we need the word of God to mess with us sometimes. Right? Yes. Say yes. Yes. I need that, and you do. Well, know, as an example, back in the early3:13 days of the church, we had a young lady get saved, she was coming to church, and she'd come know, at the end of service we always had prayer for people and they come up. And so she came up and praying for her. Demons3:25 began to manifest, so we cast those out and set her free. Well the next week she's there again. Same demons manifest, cast those out, set her free. Next week same thing happened. Next week and finally, say3:37 something's not right here. So we asked her, said, what what what are you what are you doing during the week? She says, well I'm a a strip club dancer. I said, what what do you what3:49 do you see for your life? Well my goal is to be a porn star. We need to talk. You're gonna have to change something here. These demons are, you know, they're4:01 they're just coming right back. So it doesn't matter how much you attend church, it's what you do with what you're learning in church. Okay? You got that? That'll4:13 save you a lot of trouble right there. You know, here, let me give you an example. And again, as I go through this, I'm gonna go through some things as an example. If it speaks to you, that's4:25 fine, but as a pastor we get this question quite, well hear this comment, maybe you have too. I don't understand you know, my child, I mean he's he's you know, he's rebelling and I'm having trouble with my kids. Here4:36 in, I mean he's been raised in church. He knows better, he knows what to do, but he's you know, he's been raised his whole life in church. I don't understand. You ever heard a parent say that? Come on, you ever heard a4:46 parent say that? Yeah. As your pastor, can I help you understand? Yes. Okay. But I'm using this as an example of the part you play in this whole equation. Because Christians4:58 have this concept that if God's involved, he just does it all and you just sit back. That's not how it works, right? So for instance, and again, there's no condemnation in Christ. But just understand5:09 that. But you know, I wanna help you avoid problems. So let's just talk about this 1. So if your child's rebelling and and he's been raised in church, we have to be able to identify. We gotta try to figure out what's5:20 going on here. So let's do that. It could be Proverbs chapter 23 13. It says, do not withhold discipline from a child. If you punish them with a rob, they'll not die. I mean discipline, I'm not talking5:32 about being abusive. I'm not talking about doing something stupid. I'm just saying that the bible says discipline is necessary. Right? Say yes. I didn't write the book. You know, if you don't5:44 agree with it, talk to God about it. I'm reading his word, so. So maybe, you know, well, you know, how many have seen, and again, I I I'm just gonna say stuff today and so, know, you just have to go with it. You5:56 just have to go with it, okay? So you know, how many have heard this like you know, the kid's throwing a temper tantrum and the mom says, well he's just hungry. He's just tired. Like we don't have to obey God if we're6:07 tired and hungry. Right? It's like, No. It doesn't matter how we feel, we don't don't put up with that. You obey God no matter how you feel. Right? And so discipline is necessary.6:19 I remember Tim, our son, he's up here leading guitar. He was about 3 in my parents house, kind of the driveway's at the bottom of a, of 2 hills. And we're talking and where's Tim at? So I look6:31 out in the yard and there is Tim, he's walking towards the road, he's about 5 feet from the road and a truck is coming over the hill. There's also a bridge embankment right there next to the driveway, so you would6:43 not be able to see him because of that cement embankment and he's about ready to walk out there. I knew I had 1 chance to stop him. I said, Tim, stop. He kind of stopped, looked around,6:55 and he stopped. But on the contrary, many have been in the store and heard this kid throwing a temper tantrum? Hear the 1,7:07 2. 3. There's this big gap. You know, you ever thought there's this big gap? It's like,7:19 you know, people, I ask people. This puzzles me because we never did it with our kids and I ask people, if you do it again, I'm not, you know, there's no condemnation, I'm just talking. But I ask people, why do you7:30 do that? Why do you go 1, 2? Well, child has to have some time to process what you're trying to tell them. Stop. Train them to understand, stop.7:43 You know, or no, stop. Know, doesn't take that, it saves their life. They don't have to figure it out and wait till mom's not to 3 yet. Right? I mean they're gonna7:54 come to a point they have to obey. Either it's 1 or on 3, but there's gonna be a point they have to make a decision. Right? Okay. We'll go on. Just relax. It's okay. So discipline.8:06 Or first Corinthians chapter 15 33. Do not be misled or deceived as the bible says. Bad company corrupts good character. Wow.8:18 Who are they hanging around? Or how about this 1? Parents letting them Parents that let their kids feed on ungodly media, ungodly video games. It greets me to go into Walmart and see a8:30 parent buy a 4 year old, a mature game. Or a 6 year old, or something like that. It's like, do you know what you're putting in that child? And we wonder. Now8:42 here's what David said. King David wrote this in Psalms 1 0 1 2 through 8. He says this, I will conduct the affairs of my house with a blameless heart. I will not look with approval on8:53 anything that is vile. King James says, I will not set any I will set no wicked thing before my eyes. I hate what faithless people do. I will have no part in it.9:05 The perverse of heart shall be far from me. I will have nothing to do with what is evil. Whoever slanders their neighbor is a in secret. Excuse me. Whoever slanders their neighbor9:17 in secret, I will put to silence whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart. I will not tolerate. So in other words, gossip. He's not gonna tolerate gossip. Right? My eyes will be on the faithful in the9:29 land that they may dwell with me. The 1 whose walk is blameless will minister to me. Friends, who you hang around. Right? Important. No 1 who practices9:41 deceit, that's lying, will dwell in my house. No 1 who speaks falsely will stand in my presence. Every morning I'll put to silence all the wicked in the land. I'll cut off every evildoer from the city of LORD. That's9:52 David speaking. But the bottom line, you can see he made some decisions he's gonna hang around and what he's going to allow in his life. We're talking about responsibility here. We're talking about making a choice here.10:03 About how you live your life as as it applies to God's character and what he says life should be like. David said, I'm not gonna put up with that. I'm not gonna let that interfere with my life. I'm not gonna feed on10:15 that. I'm making a decision to serve God.
