Is your anxiety actually God’s discipline? In this deeply diagnostic and sobering session, John Barnett acts as a spiritual doctor, reading the "Medical Charts" of 1 Corinthians 11 and Hebrews 12. If you are a believer who feels restless, agitated, or paralyzed by hidden sin, this class offers the diagnosis that could save your life—literally.
Here is why you cannot miss this class:
1. THE SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING ON THE BIBLE John Barnett suggests that every Bible should come with a warning label on the cover: "Persisting in sin is dangerous to your health." Drawing from 1 Corinthians 11, he reveals the three stages of divine discipline: Weakness, Sickness, and "Sleep" (Death). He clarifies that "sleeping" isn’t just a tired student in a lecture hall—it is God taking a believer home early because they refused to judge themselves.
2. THE SCARIEST WORD IN THE KING JAMES BIBLE Can you sin and get away with it? John takes us to Hebrews 12 to uncover a terrifying truth: If you can harbor secret sin without consequence, you aren’t lucky—you are lost. He doesn’t shy away from the old King James translation, which uses the harsh word "bastard" (illegitimate) to describe those whom God does not discipline. Learn why the "spanking" of anxiety and distress is actually the greatest proof that you belong to the Family.
3. THE "LOT" SYNDROME Are you pitching your tent toward Sodom? John profiles Lot—Abraham’s nephew—as the quintessential example of a "Sick Christian." He was saved, but "so as by fire," losing everything he lived for. John connects this to the "Jezebel" of Thyatira, showing how God will cast an unrepentant leader into a "sickbed" to stop the infection from spreading. This is a wake-up call to move your tent before you lose your reward.
4. THE DIAGNOSIS: BOLD LION OR TROUBLED SEA? How do you know if you are healthy? John contrasts the two spiritual conditions found in Isaiah and Proverbs.
• The Healthy: Peaceful, quiet, assured, and "Bold as a Lion."
• The Sick: Restless, agitated, attention-seeking, and like a "Troubled Sea" that constantly churns up dirt. This class forces you to look in the mirror and ask: Is my restlessness a personality trait, or is it the symptom of a sick soul?
THE BOTTOM LINE: God loves His children too much to let them play with fire. He will rebuke, He will chasten, and if necessary, He will take them home. Join John Barnett to take the Health Test, judge yourself, and avoid the judgment of God.
