Shame sucks! It’s not all your fault. This world drains our soul dry at times, in seasons. Movement 2 is about that. When the King-Groom finds his bride, she is hiding behind a protective lattice-work house. Her subconscious imagines that it is a character house. He sees it as a coffin. What might help? You’ll see. Support The Show: https://www.gospelrant.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You may be very surprised. This is so important to understand. For mass shooters who are aged K-12 this number rises to 92%. For college students who do mass shootings,  the numbers hit 100%. What is it? Is it something that can be changed by legislation? By enforcement of existing laws? Specific gun laws?

This is one of those stunning moments in the Bible. The Groom looks at his unlikely Bride and exclaims this to her. It would have taken her breath away. It is a summary of the Gospel. If we could only hear the Spirit, he just might be whispering this to us as well. It is life changing. It is unbelievable. Want to know what it means?

What does God, the King see when he gazes into the beat-up weary eyes of the Queen? We know that whatever he sees, it does not reduce his love for her at all. That is the gospel. The King loves beat-up, shamed, sinners, the impure, the rejected and isolated.    But what does he see? We are going to use Attachment theory models to help us better understand her struggles to experience his love for her.They are also ours.

Are you aware that we are tragically shaming an entire generation of young women, teenagers, in our churches and youth groups. If they have had sex (whatever we mean by that, or our girls thinks it means), they are stigmas in the eyes of God and bad. Linda Kay Klein, author of "Pure", describes it this way, "The purity message is not about sex. Rather, it is about us: who we are, who we are expected to be, and who it is said we will become if we fail to meet those expectations. This is the language of shame.” The Song of Songs pushes against the consequences of such a message. There is a powerful love that can begin to heal the shame. There is a God who truly does love the unlovable, who loves the shamed, even the impure. We can show such a beat-up woman how to enter that embrace—as she is. Support The Show: https://www.gospelrant.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This podcast is an important one-and-out message that could just change your life. D. Martyn Lloyd Jones said, “Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself? Take those thoughts that come to you the moment you wake up in the morning. You have not originated them, but they are talking to you, they bring back the problems of yesterday, etc. Somebody is talking. Who is talking to you? Your self is talking to you. Now this man’s treatment [in Psalm 42] was this: instead of allowing this self to talk to him, he starts talking to himself. “Why art thou cast down, O my soul?” he asks. His soul had been depressing him, crushing him. So he stands up and says, “Self, listen for moment, I will speak to you.” I agree—BUT...for we Christians, there are not just two options, either Stop Listening and start talking. There is a third. We can talk the gospel to our midbrain. That is what we are all about. What does gospel-talking to your “self’ look like and feel like?  Here is the place where this message and the Song of Songs connect. The Queen is riddled and strangled by negative self-talk. Nothing, including any positive self-talk makes a difference. She is stuck still ‘dark-yet-lovely’. Until, the King ’talks’ into her ’self’. That is the ’talk’ that can actually rewire and revive our self.  Make sure that you FOLLOW this podcast and give us a review. It is very important to help us reach our goal of getting this gospel out to more people.

There is healing. Please get this podcast and the next to women you know who might benefit from good news. We are looking at the beginning of Song of Songs Movement #1.

In this podcast, we being to look at the Song of Songs text. The first four verses represent a poetic prologue, on the one hand, but practically, they are the after-story of the Queen. Here’s is what the queen looks like after being transformed by the love of the King. There is no greater presentation of the gospel of the love of God for the unlovable than the Song of Songs. We are in desperate need of such a transforming love—not just for Heaven, but even today, tomorrow and the next day. This is a picture of what the love of the King can do to even one so traumatized as the Queen. Make sure you follow and give us a good review.
