THE
REPLACEMENT PRINCIPLEBy
Steve Van NattanExposing
problems and danger without empowering the hearer is ungodly. |
What
this article is NOT..... This
article is not about "Replacement Theology." That is a discussion of
the Old and New Covenant. The promoters of this teaching claim that Jesus brought
the New Covenant to replace the Old, the Church replaces Israel, and the Jews
have nothing to look forward to from God. God threw the Jews away. All the prophecies
in the Old Testament which have not been fulfilled for Israel will be fulfilled
for the Church. On
the contrary: A faithful Bible believer KNOWS that Jesus will come back to set
up his Kingdom on earth, and he will rule from Jerusalem, and Israel will be restored,
on Christ's terms, as a physical nation with Christ as their Messiah. And, God
does not need the permission of a Reformed theologian to keep his promises to
Israel and Abraham. What
we want to talk about in the following article is the fact, not the possibility,
that when God takes something away from his children, he replaces it with something
better. |
Becoming
a Christian will not take all the burdens away at once. But, when you live the
life of Christ, the burdens become challenges to move on to victory and prosper
in your mind and spirit. And, God gives you new power, and new resources, to be
more than conquerors in Christ. This
truth should totally change how we raise our kids, how pastors lead churches,
and how we treat people around us on a day to day basis. This is the Replacement
Theology of a loving God with his children. Lesson
One- NEVER BELIEVE A MESSAGE, PREDICTION, OR PROPHECY THAT DOES NOT EMPOWER YOU Psalms
40:1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and
set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. 3 And he hath put a new
song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall
trust in the LORD. The
revelator, King David, tells us how God jerked him out of the Slough of Despond
and set his feet on a rock. Even better, God went beyond taking care of his feet,
his standing, and he put a new song in David's mouth. Our God is the God who does
not only save souls..... he also gives us a new song. Jesus said this another
way: John
10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am
come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. The
new birth is not merely insurance against damnation and eternity in Hell. The
life Christ gives us is a combination of destruction and replacement. The old
nature is put to death, and the new life is abundant. This is what I mean by the
Replacement Principle. Any born again parent or pastor or employer who is truly
born again has NO excuse for ignoring the Replacement Principle with his kids,
church members, or employees. When you take a bad thing out of the experience
of those God has given you, do you replace it with something better and rewarding?
If not, you are a not like Christ. In
about 1979 I asked my kids to consider putting the TV away for six weeks to see
how life might be different without it. My wife at once started reading to the
kids every evening. I also started playing on the floor with my kids almost every
evening. This went on for six weeks, and at the end of that time, I asked my kids
if they wanted the TV back. I
must make clear that we previously had closely controlled TV watching, and my
wife of I were watching with the kids in order to change channels if grubby programs
came on. What we watched could easily have been said to be largely educational,
and the kids often learned new things. In spite of this supervision, the kids
said they loved listening to Mom read to them, and they said they did not want
the TV back. This was in spite of the one thing they loved about TV. When a commercial
came on, I would do a running commentary on the product that was dripping with
sarcasm and satire. The kids would come tumbling down the stairs to hear me lampoon
any commercial that came on. Their favorite was the Oscar Meyer Weiner commercial.
The line went, "At Oscar Meyer we use the best cuts of meat." My comment
was, "Right, the nose, the tail, the ears, and the utter..... anything that
hangs off the outside of the animal." The
one thing that my son Mike got from the TV was the day we hauled the thing to
the municipal dump to toss it away. I told Mike we would see an implosion, which
is very hard to do in everyday life. The reason is that the old TVs long ago had
a huge vacuum tube to project the image on the screen. Mike threw a rock at the
TV screen, and the rock bounced off. He tried again, throwing it harder, and the
rock broke the screen. A puff of visible vapor burst out the hole and was instantly
sucked back inside the tube. An implosion! One last science lesson from TV. My
wife kept on reading to the kids, and I went to the library and checked out documentary
16 millimeter movies usually used in public schools, and I used the church movie
projector to show them to the family. In the video days I rented or bought old
comedy films from the silent movie era. This went on for years until we entered
the computer era in the 1990s. We allowed some comic movies sometimes, like Harold
Lloyd, so the kids got to see some movies from the era when Hollywood controlled
itself a lot better. Harold Lloyd in The
Freshman. God
took Israel out of Egypt. The Jews soon forgot how horribly the Egyptians treated
them and whined that they missed leeks and garlics of Egypt. God had replaced
the leeks and garlics of Egypt and had given them manna-- angels' food. He also
gave them quail to eat with the manna. Psalms
78:19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams
overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people? 21
Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob,
and anger also came up against Israel; 22 Because they believed not in God,
and trusted not in his salvation: 23 Though he had commanded the clouds from
above, and opened the doors of heaven, 24 And had rained down manna upon them
to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. 25 Man did eat angels' food:
he sent them meat to the full. 26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven:
and by his power he brought in the south wind. 27 He rained flesh also upon
them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: They
had quail, which is usually considered a luxury like lobster in the Middle East.
But they whined at the replacement of God. Be very careful about whining at God
for his replacements in your life. You may be prevented by God from crossing Jordan
into the Promised Land of Christian victory. For
the record, crossing Jordan and going into Canaan is not a picture of going to
Heaven. It is a picture of escaping from the bondage of Egypt and entering the
land of Promise, or, leaving the bondage of the sinful world and the old life
and entering into Christian victory. Remember that the next time you hear a Christian
song that makes crossing Jordan all about going to Heaven. Canaan, to Israel,
was a replacement for Egypt and the slavery they suffered there. HERE
ARE THE PALERMO BROTHERS (Edee and Jeanne) GETTING IT STRAIGHT FOR YOU
Joshua
20:1 The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying, 2 Speak to the children of Israel,
saying, Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the
hand of Moses: 3 That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly
may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood. 4
And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entering
of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders
of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place,
that he may dwell among them. 5 And if the avenger of blood pursue after him,
then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his
neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime. 6 And he shall dwell
in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, and until the
death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer return,
and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence
he fled. Pastor,
is your local church a city or refuge for the believers? There are Black churches
in the inner cities of America that are open 24/7 for the believers. This is because
these cities are so treacherous and filled with evil and sin. Every local church
must be a place of retreat where the believers can escape from the social set
and amusements of the world. In
a church I pastored in the California desert we converted a social hall into a
real living room. On Friday night people would come and play games, talk, catch
up on the news, and generally let their hair down in a setting where the salt
of the earth was dominating. We had people from the community come just to escape
and have relief from some wicked setting they had to endure. We welcomed them.
I do not
do a lot of hammering on you the reader about being faithful at church attendance.
A true Bible believer should have an instinct to be with other saints regularly.
But, I will talk about this now. If you are troubled during the work week with
fellow employees who are wicked and filthy mouthed, and if you are struggling
with family members who are rebels against the Gospel and even mock at your faith,
are you then finding the refuge of the local church and the people of God? If
not, it is no wonder you find your Christian life riddled with loser moments.
Do you have a brother or sister in Christ who would meet for coffee with you at
some cafe? So, why don't you call them, and meet them for a visit and charge your
spiritual batteries? You
see, Christ knew that his people would need the place of refuge as a replacement
for the old life of the world with all its darkness. Like the city of refuge in
the book of Joshua, God has given you the Church as your refuge. This Church is
also referred to in the Bible as "the Body of Christ." So, when you
are with the saints as they gather here or there, you are as close to Christ as
you can get. Proverbs
14:26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have
a place of refuge. My
wife and I were missionaries in Ethiopia in the 1970s. I had grown up on the missionfield
in Kenya and Tanzania, so I had somewhat of an advantage as a new missionary in
that I had seen many of the struggles and problems of missionary life as a kid.
After a few months in the country I saw that a problem existed in the mission
in some area of the work. I do not even remember what it was now, but I went to
the Field Director, John Cumbers, and I spilled my story of concern over the problem. John
Cumbers listened well, and after I was done speaking, he said, "You are right.
That is a serious problem and needs to be dealt with. Have you got any suggestions
what I should do about it?" That hit me like a load of bricks. It did not
occur to me that my job was to come up with a solution to the problem. I thought
that was what leaders did during the day to kill time..... fix problems. John
was very patient with me, and he asked me to take some time to consider what the
solution might be the next time I brought him a problem. I
learned an important lesson that day. John did not get upset with me, but he did
show me how to be a more useful member of the team, and I have never forgotten
that lesson. When you go to your pastor, teacher, or your boss at work, and you
unload your opinion of some problem of failure in the system, STOP, stand still,
and consider what you are doing. Are you helping the leader lead his way out of
something that is really a bad situation? If not, you are doing him no good......
just giving him another problem to mull over as he tries to go to sleep tonight.
Leaders are not empowered with genius by divine right or because they have some
special mental ability to fix things. Leaders need followers who empower the leader
and can suggest changes that work.
This is a classic case of the principle of replacement.
Lesson
Two- YOU ARE NOT YOUR CONDITION So,
what is the condition of the born again believer? Romans
7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another
law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity
to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who
shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus
Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with
the flesh the law of sin.
Romans
8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit
of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending
his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the
flesh: 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk
not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. God
tells you that you are not your condition as a sinner who is still becoming like
Jesus. You will never be sinlessly perfect, but God WANTS you to consider yourself
victorious. Every step forward puts the ghosts of the past farther and farther
behind you. The choice is yours to leave them behind under the Blood of Jesus,
or you can dig them up over and over and linger in defeat. Philippians
3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do,
forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things
which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling
of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus
minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this
unto you. 16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by
the same rule, let us mind the same thing. Just
walk in the direction of progress where you are in Christ. Do NOT go back and
have an autopsy on the old man you once were. Confess sin as quickly as God shows
it to you, and get back to the mindset of victory. EXPECT to have victory. Where
is the mind of the mature Bible believer? 2
Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of
love, and of a sound mind. Whatever
your condition WAS, do not let it come home and mess with your mind. And,
if you are physically handicapped, do not let that define you. Will
Pardee jumped into the Muskegon River one day into his old swimming hole. But,
the hole had silted in, and he hit bottom head first and came away paralyzed from
the neck down. After getting home from the hospital, and ending up in a wheel
chair, Will was depressed and at loose ends. His handicap was defining him. His
good wife decided Will needed to do something, and she got him a drawing board
and put a pencil in his mouth. The end of the story was that Will left his handicap
behind as a definition of who he was. He did not try to sell his drawings through
some agency for handicapped people. Will and his wife went to art shows in parks
around western Michigan, and his art came into demand for its own sake, and Will
was well known and defined by people by his artistic skills. What
defines YOU? Is something ugly defining you? Ask God for a replacement.
Lesson
Three- ARE YOU LIVING IN A PRISON OF YOUR MIND? The
world's definition of salvation, being when you learn to love yourself, is not
the Bible believer's definition, but being free from the prison of a sinful mind
IS a worthy objective of a Christian. Jesus said he came to free people: John
8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my
word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and
the truth shall make you free. Truth
frees people from prison of self-condemnation. Being forgiven by Christ of sin
and death opens the windows of Heaven, and it also opens the mind to unlimited
possibilities. Most people these days are prisoners of technology, their own limitations,
and they are too whipped to find their way home. Home is Jesus, and only in him
will you escape the prison of YOUR mind. The
Christian mind is at war with Satan and the rest of humanity. Do you only have
a Christian mind when you are sitting in the pew Sunday morning? The rest of the
week do you act and talk just like the Atheists all around you? If this is you,
you are a prisoner of a sick mind. The only way to have the mind of Christ is
to find out what Christ wants you to accomplish, suffer, and change, and then
do it. Here
is a healthy mind according to the Word of God: Philippians
4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts
and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are
true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things
are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Lesson
Four- DO YOU USE THE REPLACEMENT PRINCIPLE WITH PEOPLE YOU CARE FOR? Fathers-
You outlaw
rock music in your home played by your kids. They now have to give up their passion
for a big chunk of their youthful culture. To convince them you need to deprive
them of rock music, you take them to hear a talk by some godly expert on music
who exposes the Satanic and mind warping aspect of rock music. Your
kid finally realizes you are right, and he unloads all his DVDs of rock, and he
cleanses his life of he stuff. You are overjoyed with the results. Now,
let me ask you a question, Dad. What did you give him that was an upgrade from
rock music to something acceptable, a new song? Let
us review the theme text for this article: Psalms
40:1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and
set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. 3 And he hath put a new
song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall
trust in the LORD. God
took David out of he mud and set his feet on the rock. But, God did not stop there.
He also put a new song in David's mouth. We do not know what the old song was
because David did not want to talk about it. Was it the Philistine version of
rock or country music or rap? Whatever it was, David sure liked the new music
better. So,
what are the upgrades for rock music? I will make a few suggestions, and you take
it from there. You will need to visit the following links to see what I have found. CALIFORNIA
BAPTIST UNIVERSITY SINGING "GOD" FELIX
HELL FROM GERMANY INTRODUCES THE PIPE ORDER. When he plays, crank up the
volume until that kid of yours ribs rattle. If this works, you MUST take the kid

a liking to this, fined a Maricachi concert to take him to. THE

When
I was in my teens, while living in the USA on furlough from the mission work in
Africa, my Dad had made it very clear that he had no tolerance for popular music.
It gave him flash backs to his own days before he was born again as a young man.
So, I needed something to replace popular music. I hit on polka music. It was
lively but did not have the vulgarity. Dad did not have any particular love for
polka music, but he decided to let me listen to it as a replacement. This worked
pretty well, especially when we found out that Mennonites in Minnesota loved polka
music from the old country, Germany. Polkas
by Myron Floren Another
replacement possibility when a teen ager lets you pluck him out of the mud is
to start a diversion that he can make into a hobby that will last for life. Examples
are fishing, golf, and auto mechanics. But, YOU Dad, must lead the way so that
you bond closer through the transition from mud to beach sand or end wrenches.
There is nothing more relaxing and distracting than pier fishing at high tide
at night. And, the skills that can be learned keep coming and coming as you meet
more experienced old timers who are there. Church
Leaders- The
most grievous failure in regard to replacement is with some of you pastors. You
teach that God lifts the sinner from the miry clay and sets his feet upon a rock,
but you fail to emphasize the new song. I will give you an example of this from
real life. Back
during the 1970s pastors all over America were very troubled, to the point of
ranting and raving, over two things in church women..... pant suits and high hem
lines. All sorts of subtle comments were made in sermons in the hope that the
women would catch on and lower their skirt line, while the women in pant suits
were targeted for the sin of women wearing men's attire. Fundamental Baptists
were not so subtle. These preachers raved right out and attacked women viciously
for any violations perceived. Christian
colleges and Bible institutes had the same problem. Rules were made, with specific
methods for determining what was offensive, and enforcement often became vicious.
I saw this at Grand Rapids School of the Bible and Music where I was Dean of Men
and teaching. The problem is, the enforcement techniques we set in place totally
failed because the men teachers did not want to hand out a green card or red card
because that implied they were looking at the girls' legs. One teacher in a Christian
college made a rule that any girls sitting in the front row of his classes had
to bring a lap rug. The
problem with this whole mess was that pant suits, which were cursed as manish,
were the replacement solution. The pant suit was NOT manish. It was very feminine,
and any man wearing a pant suit in the 1970s was a queer, and there were a few
around. But, the pant suit was condemned because it had pant legs. You never heard
a preacher admit that women all around the world had worn garments with pant legs
and were considered feminine, especially in India and the Middle East, and this
was going on clear back in the day of the Old Testament. The law quoted was: Deuteronomy
22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall
a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD
thy God. If
you find a culture where a woman wears a garment with a pant leg, look at the
men, and you will never see them wearing the same garment as the women. THAT is
the point. And, the pant suits of the 70s were not manish. Back
to the subject at hand. Pastors, when you take something away from your people,
you need to stop, face yourself, and ask a couple of questions? 1.
Are you making a new church law that cannot be LITERALLY proven necessary by the
Bible. Stay in context, sir. Do not grab an obscure text and twist it to your
own devices like the Jehovah's Witnesses do. Are you just making this law to keep
up with some other famous preacher in a huge church in Chattanooga or Bob Jones
University? 2.
Can you enforce the law and keep your sanctification? In other words, are you
going to have to be a brutish cuss in order to enforce the law? The risk of making
laws and standards for other people is that you will get ahead of God, and those
people will end up living in torment instead of victory. 3.
Will your people adopt the new law and think they became holy by keeping the law
instead of living by faith? "Be here every time the doors are open."
That is NOT taught in the Bible. Furthermore, thousands of Fundamental Christians
believe that obeying that law makes them real Christians, and they judge anyone
who breaks your law as unsaved. I am talking about what I have seen and heard
from some of your members. Works salvation is the risk you run when you hand the
saints a law code instead of teaching them to examine themselves and let the Holy
Ghost apply the Word. Do you even trust the Holy Ghost to apply the sermons you
preach? I determined to do this in the first church I pastored. Four churches
and 45 years later I can say that I have seen many many times when church members
made huge life changing decisions all on their own with the Holy Spirit using
the sermons he gave me. I taught, and then I got out of the way. It takes faith,
sir, but you will NEVER see permanent results in lives until you learn that. 4.
Finally, if you are taking away something in the saints' lives, what are you replacing
it with? Oh, you will tell me that they should be satisfied to just sbumit to
their pastor and please him. Bah. You lazy lush. God put a new song in David's
heart, and he gave you blessings after you confessed faith in Jesus Christ. YOU,
sir, need to do some hard thinking, and come up with a replacement when you take
things away from the saints.
Example:
You teach against the use of alcoholic beverages, right? So, what about something
fun and satisfying in replacement of booze? Take some saint who has had a battle
with booze out for coffee, but not to an ordinary restaurant. Go to a coffee specialty
shop, and order Yergachafe coffee from Ethiopia, or Kenya AA coffee. Splurge,
and order Blue Mountain from Jamaica. Show your brother what really good coffee
tastes like. Later, buy some green unroasted coffee beans online, and learn to
roast them yourself. Then, once you have mastered it, invite your brother over
to join the fun and roast some coffee. Too much trouble? You, sir, are worthless
as tits on a boar hog. Here
is my online tutorial on coffee. I
had a young man in the church I pastored in California who was struggling to escape
from booze. He would jump on his motorcycle Saturday night, ride to a bar, drink
himself drunk in fast order, and ride the motorcycle home. Sunday morning he was
in church, and he looked totally whipped. His mother had a long face also. I knew
what had happened. Monday morning he would be at my kitchen table moaning and
groaning and confessing sin. I finally told him that when he was tempted on Saturday
night, call me, and we would go shoot pool at the KOA Camp Ground nearby. There
was no booze there. He did that, and it worked. It made my Saturday night very
late because I was also finishing up my sermon then, but it was worth the pain
to see the young man get victory. You
see, I had to give of myself and my time to give that man victory and a replacement.
Preacher, if you do not want to be inconvenienced and be part of the replacement,
stop making your stupid laws for the saints. Jesus didn't have to help Peter catch
a boat load of fish that morning by the lake. But, Jesus wanted to add some value
to the life of Peter for following Jesus so faithfully. Christian
Employers- You
have a fine business, and you follow biblical principles of honesty and fairness
with your customers. Is it a service, or is it a brick and mortar on the street.
Maybe you have a technology operation. Well, if you have done well, you have a
work force, large or small, which functions like clock work, and all your operations
are manned by contented people who are competent and conscientious. The question
is, what have those employees received back from YOU for the sacrifices they make?
You pay them. So what? So does the Mafia and the Medellin. Every
time you hire a new employee, he comes with his own notions and experiences, and
some of his ideas and skills do not work or fit well with your company. So, you
help him, with Christian patience, to learn your way of doing things. He wants
to keep the job, so he makes the changes, and all is well. What did you give him
to replace his zeal for his own way of doing things? I
am not going to try to dream up any examples of this for you. I wish I could,
but I am not running your company. It is up to you to stop, face yourself, and
do some hard thinking about how you have dealt with your people. If God gave you
a new song, like he did David, how about finding ways to make your employees feel
like their job is a new song? It will not take long for you to think of ways to
add something to their work day, or their life culture, that feels like a new
song, but you have to WANT to do this, and do it on purpose. Bible
Teachers in Christian Collages and Bible Institutes Do
I have to explain this to you? You are a teacher. You could have written this
article better than I have. Get alone, and ask yourself who you have helped and
been used to lift out of the mud who is not singing a new song. What could you
do to replace the things they gave up or changed because you taught them? It is
not about you, friend, it is about Jesus Christ. The blessing of seeing someone
make serious changes in their life, to the glory of God, is not the end of you
responsibility. So, finish your good work that you started please, to the glory
of God.
PARTING
SHOT God
has lifted us out of the miry clay and set us on the rock. He has put a new song
in our mouth, even praise to God. Someone in your life needs more than that lift
out or the mud. They need a new song. Your kid, your spouse, your friend in the
Church family, or someone who has benefited from knowing and living with you.
See if you can add that song now, and make a happy camper sing. Philippians
2:1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if
any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 Fulfil ye my joy,
that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind
let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his
own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be
in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
