intro’d to her here – 30 min talk at tiu chapel – sept 2019: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GObELnkde20]
8 min – those things that give me an advantage.. that shape my id.. whatever gains i had.. considers them now as loss.. in perspective to jesus.. education family accomplishments.. the result.. whatever gain i count of loss for the sake of christ.. i consider all this rubbish
identity ness
10 min – what does this mean.. consider everything i consider gain as rubbish
so many countries in this room.. values from german students: 1\ honesty 2\ punctuality 3\ cleanliness.. korean students: 1\ politeness 2\ respect.. micronesian students: 1\ sharing
13 min – core values were mostly different.. that’s fine.. it’s ok.. but challenges when we have to live together for more than 2 weeks.. study/work together.. core values collide in the everyday life.. causes frustrations.. because those areas we have greatest strength we tend to be most merciless..
begs we go deeper.. for core/basic ness..
15 min – at heart of culture.. norms and values.. to question them is to question reality itself.. so collision is not just a clash of opinions.. but of realities
more to it.. as christians.. also have values of gospel.. but what happens when gospel and my own culture collide..and question our reality..
16 min – i do believe.. that sometimes it’s not our sins/bad-habits that keep us from understanding/obeying word of god but most valued convictions.. making it very difficult for us to listen.. to what god wants us to hear and live
18 min – son of god should have reprimanded.. but missing point.. because hold onto own value.. ie.: honesty.. i don’t care if he’s smart .. he was dishonest.. and they put it over the lesson christ wants us to learn
22 min – jesus is not what we always expect him to be.. not always polite.. put honesty on front seat.. he’s not korean.. german.. our culture is not the bench marks for him to measure up.. he is the benchmark for us.. these collisions are challenging for us
is it important to put jesus above my id’s? ..legit question..we should ask it.. not a dogmatic/theoretical question.. it has cost paul his culture/conviction/values/id/life.. it made him who once was a fanatic persecutor.. write those famous words in galatians.. there is neither jew/gentile/slave/free/male/female.. you are all one in christ jesus.. this is the power of the surpassing greatness of christ..nothing else could have changed paul.. the hebrew of hebrews.. the world can’t be transformed w anything less than this.. we can’t take on the indifference in the world w just our heritage.. no matter how much we cherish them.. this world needs the surpassing greatness of knowing jesus.. *this is the power/treasure..
*the thing already there.. deep within each one of us..
love the whole .. non-binary ness.. marsh label law ness..
honesty.. politeness. independence.. sharing.. all good.. but can’t save us.. jesus didn’t die on cross so we could all be more punctual.. clean kitchens..
26 min – my worry now.. is that you wonder.. should we all give up those values..? live like pigs..? no.. of course not.. the thing is this.. jesus above all else w/no compromise.. doesn’t mean we have to give up our values/convictions.. doesn’t weaken them but shapes and purifies them.. doesn’t destroy culture/values.. it saves them.. *doesn’t matter what culture/nationality.. honesty is great/necessary.. but it can hurt greatly.. if wielded like a weapon.. it hurst.. and politeness.. is really nice/comfortable but can be very deceiving too..
*nationality: human ness
evans politeness law .. et al
29 min – independence.. american value.. a great value if you can afford it.. sick/poor/foreign ess.. for those.. a society that puts absolute value into independence and self made ness can be quite hard.. cruel.. for those who don’t have the luxury to be independent..
luxury – gaiman\degrasse whatever law.. begs we go for equity – everyone getting a go everyday
31 min – a connectedness we all feel to something beyond ourselves.. beyond our most precious personal values.. can bring strangers together.. curiously.. only by this route..
thurman interconnectedness law: when you understand interconnectedness it makes you more afraid of hating than of dying – Robert Thurman (@BobThurman)
if we gain this beyond destructive culture of ‘my values’.. if we find someone who is beyond ourselves.. then a revolution of all values take place.. and we find the best we have to offer is not used to dominate/control/judge.. but to serve..
free\dom ness [greek for bondservant, who, after being a slave set free, chooses to serve]
32 min – what is answer to gaining of christ worth all the loss.. paul says yes unwaveringly.. that’s why you and i are here today.. yes it’s worth it..
jim elliot: he is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.. jan 1959 all killed..
let go of the things you have to cling to
