[13] Some might object to me calling self-punishment a sin. The Bible teaches that we sin any time we forsake God’s law (1 John 3:4), which commands us to love everyone, including ourselves (Mark 12:31). In general, if we treat ourselves in a way that would be against God’s loving law if we did it to a neighbor, we have sinned.
[14] Cadden, Exchanged Glory II: The OK Stronghold, 27
Chapter Four. A “Kinder Gentler god”
[15] I should point out that I disagree with the belief that we can’t love others until we love ourselves, which I believe is a misreading of Matthew 19:19: “…you shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 9:19 is a summary of the Law’s interpersonal commandments. It is based on the fact that most of us would like others to treat us in the way God requires us to treat them. The command “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” takes advantage of this general truth to quickly communicate to us how we should live.
I don’t believe Jesus intended for it to be interpreted as a psychological principle: “You can’t love your neighbor until you love yourself.” First, that isn’t true to experience. Haven’t we all, at times, loved others better than we have loved ourselves? Second, it isn’t true to the Scriptures. They teach us that the key to loving isn’t to focus on loving ourselves but to focus on how He loves us: “We love Him because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:19) Knowing His love will change how we treat both others and ourselves. His heart is the key to transforming our hearts, not a love for ourselves.

Although I am not a big fan of most of The Spiritual Man trilogy, these two sections may have saved me from years of serious issues. In the past forty years I still have not found another book that does as good of a job as this one does of describing the spiritual warfare problem I was facing.

[35] I included the words to one of those songs, The Legend of Stephanos, in the second book of this series, Exchanged Glory II: The OK Stronghold, 79-81. Here are the Scriptures put to music (Isaiah 53 and Psalm 107:1-22 are based on the Revised Standard Version of the Bible. Psalm 96 is based on the New American Standard Version of the Bible): Psalm _107_1-22.mp3, Isaiah_53.mp3, Psalm_96.mp3.

Chapter Fifteen. Church Difficulties
[48] When I call something “prophetic,” I am referring to a message from the Holy Spirit besides what He says in the Bible. I wrote a good deal about this in Exchanged Glory IV: A Time for Every Purpose, 32-57.
[49] When I refer to “anointing,” I am talking about a sense of the Holy Spirit’s power and presence as a person speaks and acts.

Chapter Nineteen. Reclaiming Sexual Brokenness
[57] The prostate is a sexual organ in a man’s groin. Prostatitis is a condition where this organ becomes inflamed. The condition was uncomfortable enough that I sometimes had difficulty sleeping. If it hadn’t been treated, it could have caused serious damage to my health. I described my struggle with prostatitis in detail in Exchanged Glory IV: A Time for Every Purpose, 101-108.
[61] For the first thirty-eight years of my Christian life, I never heard anyone describe a practice similar to my choice to face temptations in the hope that God would help me understand the feelings behind them. In 2009, I read Breaking Free by Russell Willingham. He described “The Great Transference,” in which a sex addict considers the basic need symbolized by the female body part that attracts him (for example breasts may symbolize a need for nurture). The addict then takes that need to the Lord and asks Him to fill it. My approach of considering what was behind my attraction to smoking was similar.

[63] I realized that I was going against the “stay away from temptations” approach that is usually taught concerning sexual purity. That was somewhat scary, both because I was ignoring counsel and also because I was putting myself in a place where others might consider me a pervert. The “stay away from temptations” approach, however, had never been that practical for dealing with a smoking fetish, and it now stood in the way of me facing the issues of my heart. I was too desperate for freedom to allow a little danger or my reputation to get in the way of what I sensed God doing.
I, of course, wasn’t totally rejecting the “stay away from temptations” approach. I still used it when I thought it was important for keeping my actions pure …and sometimes I used it simply because it made my life easier. I believed, however, that it was time to face my darkness and carry a light into it. The Holy Spirit was helping me to explore my most frightening feelings and discover what He wanted to do with them.

[87] Early in our marriage, when we had to decide what furniture to buy for our apartment, I didn’t want to buy furniture at all. It seemed cheaper to use old crates and whatever we could get for no cost. My spiritual motivation was that I had trouble spending money when I knew there were starving children in the world, but there was a selfish side also. I didn’t want to spend money on furniture when I could use that money to fund me in some creative project.

[96] This brings up an interesting question: Could the apostles have avoided their sin after God wrote about it in Zechariah 13:7? I think our answer has to be that they could have, but God knew they wouldn’t.
[97] In Exchanged Glory IV: A Time for Every Purpose, I shared an example in which God did this for me, Cadden, Exchanged Glory IV: A Time for Every Purpose, 75-77
