Welcome to the Fortifying youg Family podcast.
Speaker A:It can be daunting to navigate through an anti marriage and family culture.
Speaker A:Our teacher will expound biblical principles to help fortify our families and keep these sacred institutions strong.
Speaker A:And now, here's this week's teaching from Sam Wood.
Speaker B:Turn with me, if you would, this morning to Ruth, chapter two.
Speaker B:I want to start at verse one, and I'll read down through verse 17.
Speaker B:Ruth, chapter two and verse one.
Speaker B:And I'll read down through verse 17.
Speaker B:Ruth, chapter two and verse one.
Speaker B:And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
Speaker B:And Ruth, the Moabitess said unto Naomi, let me now go to the field and glean ears of corn after him, and in whose sight I shall find grace.
Speaker B:And she said unto her, go, my daughter.
Speaker B:And she went and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers in her hap, or her good fortune, or we might say, her luck.
Speaker B:Of course, it's God's providence here working.
Speaker B:Amen was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was the kindred of Elimelech.
Speaker B:And behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem and said unto the reapers, the Lord be with you.
Speaker B:And they answered him, the Lord bless thee.
Speaker B:Then Boaz said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, whose damsel is this?
Speaker B:And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, it is amoabitess damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.
Speaker B:And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.
Speaker B:So she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.
Speaker B:Then said Boaz unto Ruth, hearest thou not my daughter?
Speaker B:Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast.
Speaker B:By my maidens, let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thereafter them have I not charged the young men that they should not touch thee?
Speaker B:And when thou art athirst, go into the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.
Speaker B:Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?
Speaker B:And Boaz answered and said unto her, it hath been fully shewed me all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband, and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother in the land of thy nativity and and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore.
Speaker B:The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.
Speaker B:Then she said, let me find favor in thy sight, my Lord, for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid.
Speaker B:Thou though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.
Speaker B:And Boaz said unto her at mealtime, come thou hither and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar.
Speaker B:And she sat beside the reapers, and he reached her parched corn.
Speaker B:And she did eat, and was sufficed and left.
Speaker B:And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, let her glean even among the sheaves and reproach her not and let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them that she might glean them and rebuke her not.
Speaker B:So she gleaned in the field into the evening and beat out that she had gleaned.
Speaker B:And it was about an EPH of barley.
Speaker B:Someone has very eloquently said that the Bible is like a magnificent building that houses the presence of God.
Speaker B:And anytime you step inside that building, you're dealing with God.
Speaker B:And every book of the Bible is like a window in that magnificent building.
Speaker B:And every time you look into a window, whether that window is large or whether that window is very small, you're looking into some feature of the face of God.
Speaker B:The book of Ruth is a little window, we might say, and appears insignificant.
Speaker B:But if you look carefully inside, you get one of the most vivid pictures of God and his Christ and his purpose that you'll ever see inside of the house of God.
Speaker B:The people in this story are representative types, we might say.
Speaker B:And the story happened just like the Bible says had happened, just like I read this morning, just like we have been reading and I preached on several times before.
Speaker B:But as with all scripture, there are different levels of understanding.
Speaker B:There's the surface reading of the Word of God, but looking deeper inside, I believe you see each character, especially in this story, is very highly significant.
Speaker B:Ruth is a type of the church, especially the Gentile branch of the church.
Speaker B:Naomi is a type of the Jew that went out of the church and came back, a type of the Jew coming home to God to restore covenant after defecting away from God and Boaz, folks, is a type of Christ being a type of Christian.
Speaker B:Boaz depicts, I believe what real biblical manhood should look like.
Speaker B:That is, if we want to, as men to look and say, what does a real man look like, then we certainly need to look to the man Jesus Christ.
Speaker B:We need to look in Scripture at examples of men who are men, as Boaz is who portray Christ.
Speaker B:Folks, I believe we're experiencing an attack against biblical manhood and womanhood like we've never ever seen before in the history of this nation.
Speaker B:The attack against complementarianism.
Speaker B:And you say preacher, what does that word mean?
Speaker B:It means the complementary roles that God has given.
Speaker B:Let me say God has given.
Speaker B:The Bible says that husbands and wives are to have in a relationship with each other and how that men and women ought to behave themselves and work out those relationships in society.
Speaker B:And.
Speaker B:But in our day and time, these complementary roles, complementarianism is under attack mightily by an anti Christian culture.
Speaker B:And that attack has been relentless.
Speaker B:And let me just say it's not just relentless, but it's increasing every day.
Speaker B:Never has there been a time when there's been so much confusion over the roles in marriage, so much confusion over gender identity, whether someone is a boy or whether someone is a girl.
Speaker B:I can think back, I told Pastor Freya this morning, thinking back to when I was in high school in the early 70s, in college in the 70s, and I could think ahead and think about how bad some things might get into society.
Speaker B:But I never would have dreamed it would be like this.
Speaker B:I never would have dreamed we'd be to a point where we were trying to say, do you think you're a girl or do you think you're a boy?
Speaker B:And let them try to decide that for themselves.
Speaker B:I don't think any of us even 20 years ago would hardly have dreamed that.
Speaker B:We're in a fast paced rapid decline in the morality of this country.
Speaker B:What average man or woman today could answer a little boy's question?
Speaker B:Daddy, what does it mean to grow up and be a man and not a woman?
Speaker B:Daddy, what does it mean to grow up and be a woman and not a man?
Speaker B:I agree with James Dobson when he says feminist resistance to making manhood and womanhood significant in behavior and role determination is partner to some of the most painful social and spiritual issues of our day.
Speaker B:And I would amen that we're in desperate trouble when it comes to an understanding of biblical manhood and biblical womanhood.
Speaker B:So how can we cultivate an understanding of biblical manhood in an atmosphere where Roles and even gender differences between masculinity and femininity are constantly denied or diminished for the sake of gender leveling or sex blindness.
Speaker B:We might say, I believe Boaz, a type of Christ, gives us a real life example of what biblical manhood should look like.
Speaker B:It gives us a picture of what a, and I like to use this term, what a God saturated man should look like.
Speaker B:And guys, listen to me this morning.
Speaker B:We should be God saturated men.
Speaker B:I mean, through and through.
Speaker B:We should be men of God who are saturated with God.
Speaker B:And we need to have a clear understanding of really what biblical manhood should look like.
Speaker B:So I want to talk this morning for a few minutes about Boaz, a God saturated man.
Speaker B:A God saturated man.
Speaker B:Look with me and let's dive in, look at verse one.
Speaker B:And Naomi had a kinsman, a relative of her husband, mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
Speaker B:So in verse one, we're introduced to our fourth single in this story.
Speaker B:His name is Boaz.
Speaker B:We've got three singles.
Speaker B:You've got Naomi, you've got Ruth, you had Orpah, who went back to Moab.
Speaker B:But now we're introduced to a fourth single.
Speaker B:And that fourth single's name is Boaz.
Speaker B:And we're given a little bit of an introduction about this man named Boaz.
Speaker B:It says very significantly, he is a kinsman of Naomi, that is, he's a relative of Naomi.
Speaker B:Then it says he's a mighty man of wealth.
Speaker B:That is, this man is not only a relative of Naomi through her husband Elimelech, but he is a wealthy man.
Speaker B:He's a very prosperous man in the society in Bethlehem, in this area where he lives.
Speaker B:But not only that, he is a mighty man.
Speaker B:Now, if you research and you look at those words, mighty, it means he was a man of strength, he was a man of valor, or a word that we might use today.
Speaker B:If you were to look at him and said, man, I know a Boaz, he's a man of integrity.
Speaker B:He's a man of integrity.
Speaker B:You know, one of the greatest compliments you could get as a man or as a woman is to say, there she goes, there he goes.
Speaker B:They are a person of integrity.
Speaker B:What a compliment that is.
Speaker B:That's this man, Boaz that we're seeing here.
Speaker B:We might say in Bethlehem, he was the most eligible bachelor in Bethlehem.
Speaker B:That is, I'm sure all the single young ladies were looking at Boaz and thinking, wow, he's the one.
Speaker B:He has a relationship with God.
Speaker B:I mean, he has integrity, he's wealthy and he's got all these different character traits.
Speaker B:And we're introduced to this man, he comes into this story and at the time that Ruth and Naomi have come back into Bethlehem, they've been away from God in Moab and they come back into Bethlehem during the barley harvest, right at the right time for seven weeks, she'll be able to go and glean in the fields of someone who will be generous to her so that they can actually have enough food to live.
Speaker B:So God introduces us to this man named Boaz, this man who is a type of Jesus Christ.
Speaker B:Now look with me and I just want to share with you briefly some characteristics of this man as we look through chapter two.
Speaker B:It's so much I'm going to tell you.
Speaker B:This chapter is packed with so many things, so many wonderful verses that we could preach on this chapter.
Speaker B:I could anyway for months somebody be saying, I know that, but anyway, I want to share with you some characteristics.
Speaker B:Look at verse four and we see the first characteristic I want to share with you of a God saturated man.
Speaker B:I love this.
Speaker B:He's a man who's not ashamed of his faith.
Speaker B:He's a man who's not ashamed of his faith.
Speaker B:Look at verse four and behold Boaz came from Bethlehem and said unto the reapers, the Lord be with you.
Speaker B:And they answered him, the Lord bless thee.
Speaker B:Then said Boaz unto his servants that were said over the reapers, whose damsel is this?
Speaker B:When Boaz arrives to the workplace where his workers are, look at how he greets them.
Speaker B:The first words that come out of his mouth, he says, the Lord be with you.
Speaker B:He doesn't greet them with some dirty off color joke.
Speaker B:He doesn't talk about the sporting events of the weekend.
Speaker B:The first thing that comes out of his mouth is a greeting of the Lord.
Speaker B:The Lord bless thee.
Speaker B:This is, this is what is foremost in his mind.
Speaker B:Not the production rate, not the waste that they may be wasting, but the Lord himself.
Speaker B:His life is truly centered on and focused on the Lord.
Speaker B:The desire of his heart was that his workers, the people in his community, the people that worked for him, that they would experience the presence of God even in the workplace where they were working.
Speaker B:So he was vocal and unashamed about his faith.
Speaker B:Listen, if a man has a vibrant faith, if a man has an intimate walk with God, if any of us really love passionately to the Lord Jesus Christ, you can't help but talk about Him.
Speaker B:He wants to be, he should be.
Speaker B:Some of the first words that come out of your Mouth.
Speaker B:We should not be ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the power of God unto salvation.
Speaker B:We should not be ashamed of our faith.
Speaker B:And I love what it says here.
Speaker B:And we, we can look over these verses if we're not careful, and we don't see these things.
Speaker B:But here's the boss, and he gets there at the workplace and he says the first words, the Lord bless thee.
Speaker B:And then you look at how his workers respond and they say, the Lord bless thee.
Speaker B:You know, his employees sincerely desired that this man, their boss, also experience the blessings of the Lord.
Speaker B:And they found pleasure in seeing each one of them in the community experience the presence and the blessings of God.
Speaker B:Then Boaz notices something.
Speaker B:He happens to catch his eye.
Speaker B:There's somebody new there with him.
Speaker B:And he asks the question, whose damsel is that?
Speaker B:I mean, who is that?
Speaker B:You know, I'm sure Ruth is, when I can tell, studying this, a very beautiful young lady.
Speaker B:And so Boaz notices her and says, whose is she?
Speaker B:Notice he doesn't say, who is she?
Speaker B:He doesn't ask what her name is.
Speaker B:He says, whose is she?
Speaker B:What that means is what he's asking is what clan is she a part of?
Speaker B:Where does she fit in our society?
Speaker B:Who is the man or where is the man that protects her?
Speaker B:She's out in the field by herself.
Speaker B:That's unusual.
Speaker B:There usually would be a protector nearby.
Speaker B:Whose is she?
Speaker B:And we need to understand on the order of social things in that day and time, Ruth is at the very bottom of the totem pole.
Speaker B:I mean, she's a nobody of the nobody.
Speaker B:She has no father, no husband, no brother, no, no son to protect her.
Speaker B:She's a pagan girl from a pagan land called Moab that the Israelites despised.
Speaker B:The servant answers his question in verse 6 and 7.
Speaker B:And the servants that was set over the reapers answered and said, it is the Moabitess damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.
Speaker B:And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.
Speaker B:So she came and hath continued even from the morning unto now that she tarried a little in the house.
Speaker B:So they answer and say, this is that young lady that you heard about.
Speaker B:They came back with Naomi, and she's worked hard and tirelessly all day long, and she's barely even taken a break.
Speaker B:She's a hard worker.
Speaker B:So we see Ruth, a pagan outsider who's unprotected and very, let me just say this, very vulnerable who is working sacrificially and tirelessly in the fields of this God saturated man by the name of Boaz.
Speaker B:Look at Boaz response in verse 8 and 9.
Speaker B:Then Boaz said unto Ruth, hearest thou not my daughter?
Speaker B:Go not to glean in another field.
Speaker B:Neither go from hence, but abide here fast.
Speaker B:By my maidens, let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap and go there after them.
Speaker B:Have I not charged the young men that they should not touch thee?
Speaker B:And when thou art athirst, go into the vessels and drink of that which a young men have drawn.
Speaker B:Now from Boaz response we see another characteristic of a God saturated man.
Speaker B:You say preacher, what is that?
Speaker B:He's a man who cares for women.
Speaker B:He's a man who cares for women.
Speaker B:Listen, before Christianity, and I think this needs to be shouted loud today.
Speaker B:Before Christianity came on the scene, women were very demeaning.
Speaker B:I don't think society really understands that Christianity elevated women to be recognized as equal image bearers with men.
Speaker B:Equal in essence, but different in function.
Speaker B:If you think women aren't treated as good or better than most places in the world, look at some of the other countries.
Speaker B:How women are treated.
Speaker B:Christianity elevates a woman to a high position.
Speaker B:She is an image bearer of God.
Speaker B:Instead of the feminist movement bashing Christianity, they should be praising it.
Speaker B:Now.
Speaker B:Listen to me, folks.
Speaker B:A real test of biblical manhood is how a man treats a woman.
Speaker B:Let me say that again.
Speaker B:The real test of biblical manhood is how a man treats.
Speaker B:Treats a woman.
Speaker B:Young girls, listen to me, single young girls here this morning.
Speaker B:If you want to think and look at a guy that you might potentially marry, look at how he treats his mother, look at how he treats his sisters.
Speaker B:If he doesn't treat his sisters well, if he doesn't treat his mother well, he's probably not going to treat you well.
Speaker B:The real test, biblical manhood, is how a man treats a woman.
Speaker B:And look in these verses at some of the ways that he treats her.
Speaker B:Number one, he cares for her dignity.
Speaker B:He cares for her dignity.
Speaker B:After all that Ruth has experienced up to this point, I'm sure she's very emotionally vulnerable too.
Speaker B:But notice in verse 8, you might want to circle this little word.
Speaker B:It's very significant that Boaz addresses her using the word daughter.
Speaker B:Using the word daughter.
Speaker B:This means when he uses that word that he's probably at least a generation older than she is.
Speaker B:When I say a generation, I'd say that Boaz probably is a man in his 40s.
Speaker B:Ruth may be a young lady.
Speaker B:That is in her 20s.
Speaker B:I don't believe at this point Boaz had any romantic intentions.
Speaker B:I don't think Boaz thought, well, here's a young girl, maybe someday I could marry.
Speaker B:After all, she was from Moab and she was a generation probably younger than he was.
Speaker B:It's important to remember that Boaz and Ruth are in different social classes too.
Speaker B:He's wealthy, she's very poor.
Speaker B:He has a lot of prestige, she has none.
Speaker B:She's a Moabitess, a despised people.
Speaker B:He's a mighty man from Bethlehem.
Speaker B:But rather than emphasizing the social distance between himself and Ruth and belittling her, he affirms her personhood and elevates her standing by calling her daughter.
Speaker B:That's very significant in this story.
Speaker B:The average man may have looked down on her, not even taken time to speak to her.
Speaker B:But Boaz gives her dignity by recognizing her and calling her with his word, daughter.
Speaker B:Not only that, he cares for her physically.
Speaker B:Look at verse eight and nine.
Speaker B:He gives seven commands.
Speaker B:Let me just briefly state them.
Speaker B:He says, do not glean in another field.
Speaker B:This is what he's telling him.
Speaker B:Do not leave this one.
Speaker B:He says it again, Keep close to my young women.
Speaker B:He says, let your eyes be on the field, they're reaping.
Speaker B:Go after these young women.
Speaker B:Have I not charged the young men not to touch you?
Speaker B:And when you're thirsty, go get a drink of water.
Speaker B:He really gives her seven commands.
Speaker B:In this verse and the first five commands, we see that he desires to protect her from all physical harm.
Speaker B:He says, do not, under all conditions, do not leave my fields.
Speaker B:You're under my protection now.
Speaker B:And he's commanding her, don't leave my fields.
Speaker B:Let me just give you a side note here.
Speaker B:You know what God is saying to us this morning as a child of God, don't leave God's field.
Speaker B:Don't go out in the world somewhere and leave the fields of God.
Speaker B:Stay under the blessing and protection of God.
Speaker B:Don't leave my fields.
Speaker B:He says to her, I want to take care of you.
Speaker B:I want to protect you.
Speaker B:You're very vulnerable.
Speaker B:You don't have a father, you don't have a brother, you don't have a son.
Speaker B:You have nobody protect you, but.
Speaker B:But I'm here to protect you.
Speaker B:And then he also shows he cares by caring for her purity.
Speaker B:And I love this.
Speaker B:Boaz is very concerned to protect her sexual purity.
Speaker B:He says, abide here fast.
Speaker B:By my maidens, have I not charged a young man that they should not touch thee.
Speaker B:He said, I told the young man, if you mess with her, you're messing with me.
Speaker B:Don't touch her.
Speaker B:Don't mess with her.
Speaker B:He's very concerned about her purity as a young lady.
Speaker B:Singles, listen to what I'm saying here this morning.
Speaker B:I love this quote by Tim Keller.
Speaker B:He says, sex is a unitive act.
Speaker B:It's a way of saying, I belong exclusively to you.
Speaker B:After two people have given one another their whole life in a public covenant, sex seals that commitment.
Speaker B:It's like glue, a way of creating deep intimacy between two people who say, all the rest of my life belongs to you.
Speaker B:If you have sex outside of marriage, then you're saying, I want your body, and I want to give you my body, but I don't want to give you the rest of my life.
Speaker B:I don't want to give you myself, legally, psychologically, or permanently.
Speaker B:Let's give each other our bodies, but keep our lives to ourselves.
Speaker B:Let's stay independent.
Speaker B:And that's the culture that we live in today.
Speaker B:That's a message that we hear today.
Speaker B:And that's why I'm really emphasizing this here this morning.
Speaker B:As single young people here today stay sexually pure.
Speaker B:Another writer says sex is like a river running between the high banks of righteousness.
Speaker B:I love that.
Speaker B:Without banks, a river overflows everywhere and creates havoc.
Speaker B:It also gets muddy and shallow.
Speaker B:That's what happens to sex without the restraints of God.
Speaker B:But when the river runs between the banks of biblical truth, it runs deep and it runs very pure.
Speaker B:Those who give themselves away outside marriage forfeit a depth of pleasure that only those know who wait on the Lord.
Speaker B:That's beautiful.
Speaker B:Listen, Ruth was not Boaz's daughter.
Speaker B:He's single, he's not married.
Speaker B:He wasn't his granddaughter, it wasn't his sister, but a total strange woman from a pagan land that he had just met of a different ethnic group.
Speaker B:But he is constrained, concerned about protecting her sexual purity.
Speaker B:Wow.
Speaker B:How much more should a father.
Speaker B:How much more should brothers be concerned to protect their daughter and their sister's purity?
Speaker B:How much should we as a church, and I challenge us men in this church this morning.
Speaker B:How much should we as a church be concerned about protecting the purity of the young women in this church may have shared this before, but I remember my son Josh started going with the young lady when he was in seminary up in Louisville, Kentucky.
Speaker B:And he started dating this young lady who was the secretary of the church.
Speaker B:Before he could ever start courting her, he had to go in for an interview with the leaders of that church.
Speaker B:They interviewed him.
Speaker B:They wanted to make sure he was the right kind of young man that should be going out and courting this young lady.
Speaker B:I like that.
Speaker B:You know why?
Speaker B:Because they were concerned about the purity of a young lady who was in their family, who was in their body, who was in their church.
Speaker B:Wow.
Speaker B:I think that's big.
Speaker B:Not only does he care for Ruth's dignity, not only does he care for Ruth's physical well being and her purity, but also he cares for her socially.
Speaker B:Boaz wants her to feel totally welcome in the community.
Speaker B:So Boaz says in verse nine, he says, when you're thirsty, go to the vessels and drink what the young men have drawn for you.
Speaker B:Now, we don't really understand in our culture and our society what a huge invitation this was.
Speaker B:And just to give you an example of this, I'll reflect back some.
Speaker B:Wow.
Speaker B:Hard to believe.
Speaker B:Some 70 years in our country to the Deep south, at a time when blacks and whites were told to drink from totally separate drink fountains.
Speaker B:Some of y' all can remember that, right?
Speaker B:That is, blacks and whites were told they had a certain place to set.
Speaker B:Some in the back of the bus, some in the front of the bus.
Speaker B:How shameful.
Speaker B:How shameful.
Speaker B:Some were told they had to sit in a certain part of the building in the balcony, while others sat down on the lower floor.
Speaker B:When he invited her to take a drink of these vessels, it's like back in that day and time, a white person inviting a black person to take a drink of water out their vessel.
Speaker B:That's about how significant this was.
Speaker B:He was welcoming her socially into the community.
Speaker B:He was telling her, you are welcome with us.
Speaker B:I like that.
Speaker B:Wow.
Speaker B:When I studied this, I'll be honest, I got very convicted.
Speaker B:Word of God's convicting, it convicts me as a preacher.
Speaker B:It needs to convict me as a preacher or I can't preach it.
Speaker B:And I ask these questions.
Speaker B:I just want to ask you this when I'm asking all of us, do we welcome outsiders like Ruth?
Speaker B:Do we welcome the non kosher, we might say people, the people who do not naturally fit into our community the way that Boaz welcomed Ruth.
Speaker B:Do we scan the rows, the pews in church on Sunday morning or Sunday night, and completely miss all the Ruths that are sitting in our congregation because we're looking to make friends with people who are what, just like us?
Speaker B:I said this is convicting.
Speaker B:Do we do that?
Speaker B:Are we looking for the outsiders?
Speaker B:Are we looking for those who are the social outcast, who maybe aren't so welcome the way Boaz does in this story the way Christ does for us.
Speaker B:Wow.
Speaker B:I believe we need to purposefully I know I am look for roots in our church and outsiders in our church and in our fields of labor that we are in that we can welcome in.
Speaker B:And this brings me to my next point and that is a God saturated man is a man also a man who embraces ethnic diversity.
Speaker B:You have listened to the first part of a two part message by Evangelist Sam Wood.
