Things That Don't Mix

Q: What does the Bible say about fasting?

Fasting in the Bible is often associated with humility and seeking God's presence rather than a ritualistic display. The Bible portrays fasting as an act of seeking God’s favor through humility rather than as an outward display intended for the approval of men. In Isaiah 58, God outlines what true fasting is: it is to loose the bonds of wickedness, to set the oppressed free, and to share one's food with the hungry. This understanding emphasizes that true fasting is not about putting on a show, but about genuine heart obedience toward God. In the New Testament, Jesus teaches that fasting should not be a boastful act, but something done in secret to honor God (Matthew 6:16-18). Hence, fasting should reflect a deep yearning for God’s presence and His joy.

Q: Why is the concept of grace important for Christians?

Grace is essential for Christians as it signifies God's unmerited favor and the foundation of salvation. The concept of grace is foundational for the Christian faith because it highlights that salvation is a gift from God rather than a result of human effort or merit. Ephesians 2:8-9 explicitly states that it is by grace we have been saved, through faith, and that this is not of our own doing; it is a gift from God. Understanding grace helps believers recognize that true righteousness comes through faith in Christ alone, not through adherence to the law or traditions. This realization fosters humility and encourages believers to live in gratitude, demonstrating God's grace in their lives towards others.

Q: How do we know the doctrine of total depravity is true?

Total depravity is supported by Scripture, which teaches that sin affects every part of humanity. The doctrine of total depravity asserts that sin has affected all aspects of human nature, rendering individuals incapable of achieving righteousness on their own. Romans 3:23 states that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, affirming that no one is righteous by their own efforts. Additionally, Ephesians 2:1-3 describes people as being 'dead in trespasses and sins,' indicating that without God's intervening grace, humanity cannot come to Him. This biblical foundation reveals the necessity for new birth and the transformative work of the Holy Spirit for salvation, as natural man cannot discern spiritual truths without divine assistance.

Q: What is the significance of the new covenant?

The new covenant highlights the transformative relationship believers have with Christ through grace. The new covenant, established through Christ's sacrificial death, signifies a transformative relationship between God and believers. Unlike the old covenant, which relied on adherence to the law, the new covenant fulfills God's promise of redemption through grace. Jeremiah 31:31-34 speaks of God writing His law on the hearts of His people, emphasizing internal transformation rather than external compliance. This covenant promises forgiveness of sins and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, enabling believers to live righteously. Therefore, the new covenant is central to Reformed theology as it encapsulates the assurance of salvation and a personal relationship with God.

Mark chapter 2. I titled this message, Things That Don't Mix. Things That Don't Mix. Now in this chapter we see an example of how religious people without Christ I'll say something about John's disciples here in a minute, but some of John's disciples and Pharisees came and asked this question.

And in this questioning we have an example of religious people without Christ often judge others by the way they live. They place themselves in the position of authority. and they make their own lives the standard by which everyone is measured. We are not the standard, Jesus Christ is the standard. Instead of looking through the eyes of grace and mercy, they compare others to themselves and they condemn them for not living like they do, for getting that true righteousness is only found in the Lord Jesus Christ.

As the Apostle Paul warns in 2 Corinthians 10, verse 12, For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves. But they measure in themselves, by themselves, and compare themselves among themselves, are not wise. No, they're not, they're fools. They're fools.

As I said, you and I are not the standard, the Lord Jesus Christ is. Now our Lord sets the matter straight as to why God's children do not fast in the way the Pharisees demanded. They have the Bridegroom. That's a simple answer, they have the Bridegroom. But let's look at these verses. First we find here in verse 18, false faith is always, always finding fault, always looking for something to pick at.

And the disciples of John and other Pharisees used to fast. The Pharisees said, remember that one Pharisee who said, I fast twice a week? He commended himself to God by his fasting, by his him denying himself of certain foods and certain things he said look at me God i fast twice a week you ought to be impressed i bet he ate extra the day before i just bet you he did i know human nature that's what i do that's exactly what i do but he said they used to fast they come and say to him these pharisees and some disciples of john they come and say to him why do the disciples of john and of the pharisees fast but thy disciples fast not see fault finding is a mark of hypocrisy in the absence of grace or it's definitely immature grace that's definitely that But like vultures circling a dead carcass, religious pride feeds on criticism. Where there's criticism, the Spirit of Grace is not there. You can mark it down.

And I believe the Pharisees, here's what I believe about John's disciples. I believe they believed the gospel, they believed on Christ. But the Pharisees, I believe, stirred up John's disciples while John was in prison. Remember our Lord said to His disciples, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees. The leaven of the Pharisees spreads corruption and it spreads it quietly and influences even true disciples of Christ. John's disciples were influenced by them because the one they were listening to and following was put in prison.

And this shows us the importance of having a pastor. It's important. Well, in fact, if you don't ever have a pastor, you don't have a church. I don't believe there's a church without a pastor. Now they may be in between calling a pastor, but if the Lord's gonna have a church, if this is a church, there's gonna be a pastor. God's gonna send his man. He's gonna send him.

So I think that's what happened to the disciples of John. But their complaint about fasting was rooted in TRADITION, not TRUTH, it was rooted in TRADITION. They had that same spirit about them over washing their hands. Listen to the Scriptures here in Matthew 15 verses 1 and 2. Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees constantly picking, constantly picking. You'll see the next time we go through the rest of this second chapter, they're picking at them from going to the corn fields and getting food and they're saying, Why do you do this on the Sabbath? They're just constantly badgering, constantly finding fault, constantly.

Then came to Jesus, scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders, not the commandments of God? but the tradition of the elders which what happened they took the commandments of God set them aside and then introduced their traditions and they made them more important than the commandments of God. Turn over to Mark chapter 7. then came together unto him the pharisees and certain of the scribes which came from jerusalem and when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled they is to say with unwashed hands they found fault with the pharisees and all the jews except they washed their hands often eat not holding the tradition of the elders they didn't get this from god AND WHEN THEY COME FROM THE MARKET, EXCEPT THEY WASH, THEY EAT NOT. AND MANY OTHER THINGS THERE BE WHICH THEY HAVE RECEIVED TO HOLD AS THE WASHING OF CUPS, AND POTS, AND BRAISING VESSELS, AND OF TABLES. THEN THE PHARISEES AND SCRIBES ASK HIM, WHY WALK NOT THY DISCIPLES ACCORDING TO THE TRADITION OF THE ELDERS? But eat bread with unwashing hands.

And our Lord goes on down through there and He talks about honoring your mother and father. You lay that aside. You keep the tradition of the elders, but you take the command of God and you lay it aside. That's what religion does. It takes the Word of God, sets it aside, and then makes up its own traditions. That's what it does. But I will say this, it is always right to ask, why do we believe and practice what we do?

Will it stand the test of scripture, not tradition? Not this is the way my grandparents used to do it, nor this is the way they've done this for years here, no. Will it stand the test of scripture? That's the only test, the Word of God, that's it. Is it according to the Word of God? IS OUR SERVICE HERE CONDUCTED ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD?

I BELIEVE IT IS. WE HAVE NO CEREMONIES. WE HAVE TWO ORDINANCES, THE LORD'S TABLE AND BAPTISM, AND THAT'S IT. WE DON'T HAVE A BUNCH OF HOOPERLAW GOING ON. WE HAVE THE SINGING HIS PRAISES, READING HIS WORD, AND PREACHING HIS GOSPEL. THAT'S THE WAY IT'S TO BE DONE. I'm not entertaining anybody, I'm preaching to sinners in need of mercy. I'm preaching to God's children, that's what I'm doing.

So it's right to ask why we do what we do and practice what we practice and believe what we believe to see if it will stand the test of Scripture. Now the Pharisees fasted, the Scripture tells us this, they fasted for one reason. to be seen of men. That's why they fasted.

That's it. Not to be right with God. It's had nothing to do with God in their heart. In their heart it had nothing to do with God. Let me give you the scripture on that. In Matthew 6, 16. See if you didn't have the scripture, they'd fool you, wouldn't they? You'd be fooled. I'd be fooled. We'd think, boy, he's so pious. this is he's so in touch with God no he's not he's not even not even close to being in touch with God moreover Matthew 6 16 moreover when you fast be not as the hypocrites of a sad countenance they want to make sure you know it FOR THEY DISFIGURE THEIR FACES, THAT THEY MAY APPEAR UNTO MEN TO FAST.

VERILY I SAY TO YOU, THEY HAVE THEIR REWARD. People bragging on them. People talking about how pious they are, how religious they are, how righteous they are. THEY GOT THEIR REWARD. THEY WERE AFTER THE PRAISE OF MEN. THEY GOT IT! THEY GOT IT! BUT HERE'S THE FAST GOD HAS CHOSEN. GOD HAS CHOSEN A FAST, YOU KNOW.

Isaiah 58 turn there. I got it written down. I want you to read it Isaiah 58 I've got all these scriptures Written down here. That's the advantage of having an iPad. I Can write them all down? And Isaiah 58 Look in verse six or seven Let me back up here a minute. Let me just go from verse 1. Let's see where it goes.

CRY LOUD, SPARE NOT, LIFT UP THY VOICE LIKE A TRUMPET, SHOW MY PEOPLE THEIR TRANSGRESSION, IN THE HOUSE OF JACOB THEIR SINS. YET THEY SEEK ME DAILY, AND DELIGHT TO KNOW MY WAYS, AS A NATION THAT DID RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND FORSOOK NOT THE ORDINANCE OF THEIR GOD. THEY ASK OF ME THE ORDINANCES OF JUSTICE, THEY TAKE DELIGHT IN APPROACHING TO GOD.

WHEREFORE HAVE WE FASTED, SAY THEY? and thou seest not. Wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labors. Behold, ye fast for strife, and debate, and dismite with the fist of wickedness." That's why you fast, to prove a point. If God is my witness, you might not want to do that. Because He's an HONEST WITNESS. Don't call God in on something unless you know you're right. Because He ain't going to do wrong for anybody.

You shall not fast as you do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high. Is it such a fast that I have chosen, a day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Wilt thou call this a fast? Is this what you call a fast? and an acceptable day to the Lord.

I didn't call it. God said I didn't call this. Verse 6 and 7. Is not this the fast that I have chosen? Here's the fast I've chosen to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens that you've laid on people. Remember He said you've laid burdens on men too heavy to be born. I'm paraphrasing. He said you lift those burdens. You don't add burdens, you lift them.

What does the scripture say? What's the gospel principle? Bear ye one another's burdens, don't add to them, bear them. And to let the oppressed go free, don't hold them to the plow and not let them go at all, have no pity or mercy on them, be so hard on them, and that you break every yoke IS IT NOT TO DEAL THY BREAD TO THE HUNGRY?

Your brother hungry? What's the Lord say? Feed him. He said this is the fast. Here's how you deny yourself by taking care of one another. You have a coat and your brother's cold? Give it to him. Give it to him. Take care of him. Paul said work with your hands that you may have to give to them that are in need.

TO DEAL THY BREAD TO THE HUNGRY, AND THAT THOU BRING THE POOR THAT ARE CAST OUT OF THY HOUSE, YOU BRING THEM BACK AND TAKE CARE OF THEM. WHEN THOU SEEST THE NAKED, THAT THOU COVER HIM. I WAS NAKED, THE LORD SAID, I WAS HUNGRY, YOU GAVE ME FOOD, NAKED AND YOU CLOTHED ME, IN PRISON YOU VISITED ME. LORD, WHEN DID WE SEE YOU LIKE THAT? AS MUCH AS YOU'VE DONE TO THE LEAST OF THESE MY BRETHREN, YOU'VE DONE IT TO ME. THIS IS THE FAST, HE SAID, I HAVE CHOSEN.

NOT THAT YOU GO OUT AND TRY TO IMPRESS ANYBODY OR DO THIS BEFORE MEN, BUT THAT YOU HELP ONE ANOTHER, AND THAT THOU HIDE NOT THYSELF FROM THINE OWN FLESH. WELL NOW THAT'S A DIFFERENT FAST, ISN'T That's a completely different fast. You see, true fasting is not outward display but HEART OBEDIENCE to God. It's looking after one another. Real fasting is SPIRITUAL. It's not SHOW. It's not PRETEND. It's not SHOWTIME. God's not impressed with OUTWARD PERFORMANCE.

God's impressed with the HEART. God looks on the HEART. Why we do what we do. Matthew 6 17 18 But thou, when thou fast, anoint thine head, wash thy face, that thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy father, which is a secret. If my heart's broken, it's broken to God. I lay out my heart to God. I lay it out before Him. I don't go walking around woe and more. Woe is me. Woe is me. He said, If thou want your head, wash thy face.

But that thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret. And thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. He'll answer your prayer. Lay your heart open before God. Don't make a show of pretense before anybody else. God looks on the heart.

And here's the answer to their question. and Jesus said unto them can the children of the bride chamber fast while the bridegroom is with them as long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast they have no reason to they have no reason to our lord often answered a question with a deeper question they'd ask a question he'd ask a deeper question But here He ACTS as our ADVOCATE, as their ADVOCATE, our ADVOCATE.

He takes up their case. And here what we have is the PRESENCE of the Bridegroom explains EVERYTHING. He explains EVERYTHING. Why they do not fast? He is the EXPLANATION. Spurgeon wrote this, and this is good. Our LORD is our JOY. His PRESENCE makes our BANQUET. His absence is our fast. Isn't that beautiful? That just says it. Our Lord is our joy. His presence makes our banquet. His absence is our fast. You see, ritual fasting is just an empty religious ceremony. That's all it is. There's nothing to it.

But how can we fast when we have His presence? WE HAVE HIS PRESENCE. You know, the scripture says, IN HIS PRESENCE IS JOY FOREVERMORE. IN HIS PRESENCE. WE ARE IN HIS PRESENCE. WE ARE IN IT. And when the bridegroom is taken away, because we don't always have joy, do we? I'm not going to act like I'm happy all the time. I'm not. I ought to be. But I'm not, I'm in this flesh. I'm in this flesh like you are.

But when the bridegroom's taken away, he says here, verse 20, but the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them. This is the cross. He's talking about the cross right here. There's going to come a time, he's saying, that I'll be taken away from them. I'm going to be led away from them. I'm going to be nailed to a cross. I'm going to go to the grave.

And they're going to mourn. They're going to mourn. Those men walking on the road to Emmaus, we thought he was the Messiah. We thought he was the one. Peter goes, I'm going to go fishing. I'm going fishing. I'm going back fishing. They thought it was over.

True fasting, listen, true fasting is the longing of the soul when Christ's presence is not sensed. That's when your soul is truly fasting. David said, Lord, restore unto me the joy of thy salvation. In one place in the Psalms he said, it's like he said, the Lord is clean gone, the heavens are brass. That's when your soul is fasting, your soul is searching for the Lord, it's laid bare before the Lord, your heart is broken.

But fleshly religion, it loves visible suffering and outward display of these things. That's why those monks, they go around beating themselves, just slapping themselves for nothing, for nothing, it means nothing. TRUE DEVOTION AND TRUE FASTING IS INWARD AND ONLY GOD CAN SEE IT. ONLY GOD CAN SEE IT. NOW COMES THE APPLICATION. NOW COMES THE APPLICATION.

THINGS THAT DO NOT MIX, BECAUSE THESE GO TOGETHER. WE GOT TO KEEP THIS IN CONTEXT. NO MAN ALSO SEWETH A PIECE OF NEW CLOTH ONTO AN OLD GARMENT trying to sew that new covenant to that old covenant that's what it's trying to do trying to sew baptism and circumcision together it doesn't work it doesn't work you can be baptized but you need to be circumcised also no you don't no you don't spiritual truth cannot be mixed with natural religion it can't be grace and works cannot cannot be mixed. They cannot be mixed. God always separates the holy from the profane. You see, the natural man he cannot understand spiritual truth.

Remember Nicodemus came to the Lord and he had some questions and the Lord stopped him before he could ask a question. And the Lord said, you must be born again before you can see. That means see, that means understand the kingdom of God. Everything I have to say to you, you can't understand it unless you're born again. This is going to be the new wine in the new bottle. I'll get to that in a minute. But Nicodemus, he said, you got to be born again. You can't understand this. The Galatians illustrate the danger of mixing law and grace. Paul said to them, I stand in doubt of you because they was wanting to mix law and grace, circumcision and faith in Christ, but also being circumcised.

No, you cannot sow the new to the old. You take a new cloth, you sow it to an old piece of cloth. Well, that new cloth is stronger and that new cloth is going to tear that old cloth. That old covenant is gone. They are not going to be sewed together at all. The gospel cannot be combined with RITUALISM. The gospel cannot be combined with SELF-RIGHTEOUS WORKS. The gospel cannot be bound or sewed to that old covenant of works. Can't do it. These are things that don't mix. You don't sew, and this is common sense. Isn't it amazing how simple the Lord put this? But yet how profound the message is in this.

You cannot take, He said, a new piece of cloth and sew it to an old. What you do with the old, you throw it away. You throw it away. And you get a new one. You get a new pair of pants or a new dress. But you don't go sowing that new one with that old. Now, he continues these things that don't mix. New wine poured into old bottles. See, back then they had wine skins. He calls it here a bottle, but it's wine skins. The first one, the example was outward.

You can't sow a new cloth to an old cloth. You can't sow that new covenant and that old covenant together. This example is inward, putting new wine into old bottles. The Lord said it doesn't work. We cannot drink the water of life in the world too. You can't do it. The old nature cannot contain the new life in Christ. That old nature doesn't contain that new life that we have in Christ. Many try to unite Christ with the life they live in this world. THEY WANT TO MAKE CHRIST A PART OF THEIR LIFE!

IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT! IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT! YOUR LIFE HAS TO GO! YOU HAVE TO DIE! THE OLD MAN HAS TO DIE! CRUCIFIED! PAUL SAID THAT! CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST! NAILED TO THE CROSS! THAT'S WHAT THE OLD LIFE IS! PROFESSING CHRIST OUTWARDLY WHILE LOVING THE WORLD INWARDLY CAN'T HAPPEN! IT CAN'T HAPPEN! one in Christ without surrendering all to Christ. That's what he's talking about. He that loves his life shall lose it.

Christ becoming an addition, a benefit, and not Lord of all is not going to happen. As Henry used to say, he's not an insurance policy. Jesus Christ is not an insurance policy. I know we live in a country that's benefit-driven, and false religion sells those benefits. They're nothing but salesmen in a pulpit is all they are. They're not preachers. They're salesmen in a pulpit trying to sell the benefits of being a Christian. The benefits of going to heaven instead of going to hell. That shouldn't be hard to sell, but that's not what it is. That's not salvation.

CHRIST IS LORD OF ALL OR YOU'RE GONNA PERISH! YOU'RE GONNA PERISH! FALSE RELIGION IS ALL OUTWARD SHOW FALL OF MAN PREFERS HIS RELIGION ON SUNDAY WHILE THE REST OF THE WEEK IS HIS TO DO AS HE WILL NOT SO THE BELIEVER NOT SO THE BELIEVER CHRIST IS OUR LIFE SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY And then Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, right on until we die. Christ is our life. For me to live is Christ to die is gain. He's not a part of my life. He's not my life on Sunday. No, He's my life. Or He's not my life at all. The natural man, he loves his rituals because they make him feel so good about himself. That's why they do what they do.

You see these, I know I'm picking on Catholicism, but you see them going around, the priests going up through there in their religious garb, and they're swinging that thing, and they're getting the smoke rolling, and I mean it really, everybody's feeling really religious. Lost, lost as lost can be. It's a sad show, it's absolutely a sad show. EXTERNAL RELIGION IS JUST THAT, IT'S EXTERNAL.

THE CUP IS CLEAN ON THE OUTSIDE, THAT'S WHAT THE LORD SAID TO THE PHARISEES, YOU CLEAN THE OUTSIDE OF THE CUP, BUT THE INSIDE IS FILTHY, DIRTY. YOU WASH THE OUTSIDE, BUT I SEE THE INSIDE. GOD SAID, I SEE THE INSIDE, I KNOW WHAT'S IN THERE. I know what's going through your mind. I see that covetousness.

Paul said, I have not known covetousness, except the law said, thou shalt not covet. Well, he knew the law said that, but when God applied it, then it became real. Then he realized, Oh, I'm the most covetous person here. Or many think that he's that rich man that the Lord said, go sell all you have and give to the poor and come follow me. And he went away sorrowful. Many think that that was Paul when he was young.

I don't know. I don't know. But I know this covetousness is one of the sins that God used to convict him. HE THOUGHT HE WAS JUST FINE, HE THOUGHT HE WAS FINE BEFORE GOD UNTIL HE REALIZED HOW COVETOUS, GOD MADE HIM REALIZE HOW COVETOUS HE WAS FOR POWER, MONEY, RECOGNITION, ZEALOUS, HE HAD A ZEAL FOR THE LAW BUT NOT ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE, HE WAS SO ZEALOUS HE made wreaked havoc on the church but his zeal was wrong his zeal was evil it was evil true salvation starts on the inside and comes out we're not trying to whitewash anybody No, I just preached the gospel.

The change is on the inside. It's a new heart. It's a new nature. That is what the truth of the gospel is poured into. That new bottle. You can't pour the gospel, that new wine, into an old heart. It says it'll burst. It can't hold it. It can't hold it. I'm going to say a few things here and then I'm going to close.

Self-righteous religion will always, always oppose the truth, always oppose God's people, always criticize them, always pick at them, always will. You know, the one thing I don't want for me and for you is this 2nd Timothy 3 5 having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof from such turn away having the form of godliness but denying the power of it i'll tell you what if god saves you you won't be the same you'll be a new person you'll be a new creation that's what it says in corinthians a new creation a new creature And then the gospel poured into you, truth poured into you, and you'll be able to retain it. You'll be able to retain it. And old nature, you can't, the old nature can't retain the truth. It won't no more get out of this building and it'll be gone. It'll be gone. Forget it. BACK LIKE THE HOG BACK TO HIS OWN WALLOWING IN THE MIRE, AND THE DOG RETURNING TO HIS OWN VOMIT.

Well, the scripture is very descriptive isn't it? The Word of God is very descriptive. Christ's righteousness cannot be mixed. The righteousness of Christ cannot be sewed onto human works. It can't be done. Salvation is not patchwork, it's a new life. It is a new life in Christ. This is why the Lord said to Nicodemus, you must be born again. Everything I've got to say, you can't handle it. Everything I've got to say, you will not be able to see or understand what I have to say, unless you're born again.

Because he's not going to pour that new wine of the gospel of truth into that old bottle. He's not going to do it. CHRIST CANNOT BE JOINED TO THE WORLD, THE FLESH, OR SELF-RIGHTEOUS RELIGION, HE CAN'T BE JOINED TO IT. TO ATTEMPT TO WILL ALWAYS END IN FAILURE, ALWAYS, EVERY TIME. TRUE CHRISTIANITY IS A NEW CREATION, IT'S NOT RENOVATION, IT'S A NEW HEART, IT'S A NEW NATURE, IT'S THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST ALONE. That's a pretty clear portion of scripture, isn't it?

He said the children of the bridegroom, they cannot fast when they have the bridegroom. When you're singing his praises and you sense his presence, you're reading the scriptures at home, when you're by yourself. You can't fast, you can't mourn and cry when you have him. Now when you don't sense his presence, and you have a reason to, BEAR YOUR HEART BEFORE HIM, AND FALL DOWN AT HIS FEET.

LORD, RESTORE TO ME THE JOY OF YOUR SALVATION. And you cannot sew that old covenant to that new covenant. They don't work. And you cannot pour the gospel into an old unregenerate sinner. You can't do it. It doesn't work. And blessed are you if you understand what we just read. Because as many of them left there had no understanding of what he just said. I do. Some of you do. All right.
