E06: Living in the Order Designed by God
from Kingdom Flow · host Kyle Jones & Ian Sperry
The biggest enemy of Christians is chaos. It was what the world looked like before the Spirit of God took over, and it was what sin reduced the world to today. However, God is the one who establishes order, and He calls you to pursue it in every area of your life. In this episode of Kingdom Flow, we will discuss what the Bible says about order and how it sustains us. We will specifically discuss what it looks like to have order in the home, especially in today’s world of many broken homes. Moreover, we will also provide some practical steps you can take to pursue Godly order in your lives. Join Kyle and Ian as they delve into Scripture for insights on how to live life in God’s orderly design! Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Acknowledge God’s orderly design in creation. Establish order to have sustaining power. Pursue order in your home. Love sacrificially. Find people to keep you accountable. Episode Highlights: [11:09] The Biblical Basis of Order When God created the world, as stated at the beginning of the book of Genesis, it was first nothing but chaos. When the Spirit of God came, order was established. God designed order in His creation, and it’s what we’re called to accomplish. [21:53] The Sustaining Power of Order Many fathers, pastors, and political leaders fall not because of a failing in character but because of a lack of order. When there is no order, weariness comes easily. On the other hand, order brings sustaining power. [32:16] What Order Looks Like in the Home Everyone has a role to play in their home. God designed the husband/dad to be the leader of the home, so men need to step up to it. On the other hand, the wife/mom is called to submit to the husband and to guide their kids. [41:36] On Loving Sacrificially Order flows naturally from loving sacrificially. Christ is the restoration of order in the world because he loved the world sacrificially, and we are called to do the same. [50:21] Living Out Order Practically You cannot practically live in order if you do not have practical ways of pursuing God every day. You need to prioritize your relationship with God, and your other relationships will follow. You also need Godly people who will speak into your life and hold you accountable. Notable Quotes: [16:08] “The biggest enemy in our lives is chaos.” [16:13] [26:09] “Decisions that we make every day have to be Kingdom-minded decisions.” [26:13] [39:35] “It’s hard work to wake up every day and live your life intentionally.” [39:38] [47:06] “Before we even have transformation, we have to polish our hearts to be a living sacrifice.” [47:11] Resources Mentioned: The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence Books by Jocko Willink: Extreme Ownership | Way of a Warrior Kid
