Hebrews 4:1-11

 

  Hebrews 4:1-11

(1) Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. (2) For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. (3) For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:
“ So I swore in My wrath,
‘ They shall not enter My rest,’” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. (4) For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: 'And God rested on the seventh day from all His works'; (5) and again in this place: 'They shall not enter My rest.' (6) Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience, (7) again He designates a certain day, saying in David, 'Today,' after such a long time, as it has been said:
' Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts.' (8) For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. (9) There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. (10) For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. (11) Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.

These verses contain two points that will help us in being still. The first point is a long-range one, and the second is more immediate:

1. We need to be diligent to enter the rest that is the Kingdom of God. This is the true rest toward which all Christians should be intently pressing. It will be a true rest from the sin, confusion, and turmoil that are hallmarks of this age.

2. In the meantime, as verse 9 reads, "There remains therefore a rest for the people of God." The word "rest" is sabbatismos in Greek, and it refers to both the weekly Sabbath rest and the ultimate rest in God's Kingdom, of which it is a type. God has given us a weekly, twenty-four-hour period when we can be still and use that time to come to know Him.

The people of God need this one day to recharge physically, but more importantly, they need it to pull out of the world, remove themselves from the rat race, and get into communion with God. The Sabbath day allows them to adjust their attitudes, understand godly reasoning, receive instruction, see God at work, and come to know Him more intimately.

Being still need not be limited to the Sabbath day. We should make a concerted effort to find time during the workweek to stop our headlong rush through life, be alone with God, and simply, prayerfully think, which is biblical meditation. In a world like ours, we frequently need to evaluate ourselves and reevaluate our course, and the way to do these things is to be still.

In John 14:27, our Savior says to us: "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." If we can learn to be still, we will enjoy the wonderful benefits of Christ's peace in us.

Should Christians read Jesus calling?

Should Christians read Jesus calling?

The great danger of faddish, new age books like "Jesus Calling" is that they drive a wedge between God’s people and His Word, encouraging them to look beyond the scope of Scripture for additional words from the Lord. 

In simple terms, they devalue the Bible and elevate emotional experiences and imaginary voices to the level of divine authority. 

And when anything you hear or feel could be the Lord speaking, you leave yourself open to all sorts of heresy and satanic lies. 

God’s people need to be wary of anyone who assumes to speak for Him. 

We need to defend the authority of His Word against all pretenders. 

And we need to help shepherd other believers away from the popular desire for special revelation and back to the all-sufficient Word of God. 

I like devotional books, but books that point us back to the Word of God, not medieval mysticism.

Unfortunately, many Christian publishers today 'sell out' to publish anything that sells even if it promotes theological error.

NIV version says this... 

'Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales;

rather, train yourself to be godly. For physical training is

of some value, but godliness has value for all things,

holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. '

1 Timothy 4:7-8 https://my.bible.com/bible/111/1TI.4.7-8

NASB1995 version says this...

'But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for

old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for

the purpose of godliness; for bodily discipline is only of

little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things,

since it holds promise for the present life and

also for the life to come. ' 1 Timothy 4:7-8 https://my.bible.com/bible/100/1TI.4.7-8

ADHD Symptoms in Men Manifest Differently

Updated on May 5, 2023

“Men with ADHD are more prone to emotional outbursts fueled by anger at real or perceived slights.”

As a 62-year-old man with ADHD, I can get emotional quickly and often about relatively insignificant things. I can be immature and irresponsible. For years, I have felt embarrassment and shame about the lack of progress in my career. I also have learned that these characteristics, among others, are more pronounced in many men with ADHD than they are in their female and neurotypical counterparts.

Much has been written, deservedly, about the unique challenges facing women with ADHD. But, arguably, not as much has been written about how men experience ADHD differently. Sure, most of us know that hyperactive boys are more likely to be diagnosed than are inattentive girls. However, the people in our lives really need to understand the differences men with ADHD experience.

Here are examples of how I think ADHD manifests differently in the sexes.

Common ADHD Symptoms in Men

Delayed emotional development. Research has shown that males mature more slowly than do females, and this seems especially true for men with ADHD.

Being quick to anger. While girls tend to internalize emotions, boys are more likely to externalize theirs. It stands to reason, then, that boys with ADHD have higher rates of oppositional defiant disorder (being argumentative, uncooperative, and sometimes hostile). In adulthood, men with ADHD are more prone to emotional outbursts fueled by anger at real or perceived slights.

Resistance to pursuing a diagnosis. In my many years of ADHD coaching, I’ve encountered countless women who struggle with their husband’s or young adult son’s resistance to seek or accept an ADHD diagnosis because they fear the “stigma” of the disorder, and, in their male minds, it’s admitting to “weakness.” Unsurprisingly, most of my female social media followers are the ones who most actively pursue understanding ADHD on behalf of their husbands, their kids, and themselves.

[Take This Test: Could You Have Adult ADHD?]

Lackluster career advancement. This issue for men arises, in part, from the social construct that still expects men to be the head of the household, the main breadwinner. When a man with ADHD is unable to perform optimally in or successfully retain his job (as was the case for me for many years), the shame and guilt can be devastating.

Think about how often new social interactions begin with, “So, what do you do for a living?” In other words, what is your value? And when you’re not proud of what you do, or how well you’re doing it, you feel shame and embarrassment.

How Men Can Manage ADHD Symptoms

Men with ADHD need a safe place to share their struggles, like a support group with people who share similar challenges. Feeling heard, and learning new ideas for how to cope, can be very comforting.

Mindfulness training and exercise can help with mood stabilization and rein in emotions. I also recommend working with your partner, and perhaps a therapist, on communication strategies to control outbursts before they happen.

I’ve found that understanding common ADHD symptoms in men and working on managing them has helped me become more effective in my life as an adult with ADHD.
