00:00:00.000 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:01.940 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
00:00:04.620 because you're spending your cash and your lives
00:00:06.920 on raising young children
00:00:08.540 in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:10.560 Praise God for you and that endeavor.
00:00:13.700 However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16.220 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing.
00:00:18.840 And one major way that you can help to expand
00:00:21.600 the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24.000 that doesn't cost you a dime
00:00:25.720 is by spending just a few moments
00:00:28.060 leaving us a five-star review.
00:00:31.180 Also, perhaps even more effective than that,
00:00:33.980 you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36.400 We hope you'll take the time to do so.
00:00:38.320 Thank you so much.
00:00:39.580 God bless.
00:00:41.720 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone,
00:00:44.520 but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:47.540 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:52.380 Exodus chapter 22, verses two through three.
00:00:54.780 Here's another form of slavery under the old covenant.
00:00:57.420 God's good righteous law
00:00:59.380 if a thief is found breaking in
00:01:01.460 and is struck so that he dies
00:01:03.340 there shall be no blood guilt for him
00:01:05.280 let me pause right there
00:01:06.480 if someone breaks into your home
00:01:10.200 to steal your property
00:01:12.840 or to do harm to your family
00:01:14.840 and you
00:01:16.940 you strike that individual
00:01:20.220 the criminal 0.98
00:01:20.820 in such a way that they die
00:01:23.260 you don't get sued
00:01:25.920 our culture is insane
00:01:30.800 that's a real thing in our culture today that's a real thing in our society
00:01:36.900 people breaking in to steal someone protecting their property
00:01:41.260 and then getting sued by the family of the criminal
00:01:45.160 and they win not in god's good righteous perfect law
00:01:51.240 if a thief is found breaking in and struck so that he dies there shall be
00:01:55.420 no blood guilt for him. Amen. But if the sun has risen on him, there shall be blood guilt
00:02:01.900 for him. He shall surely pay. He will pay, not the person who owns the property, who
00:02:08.120 is being stolen from. Isaiah says, woe to the culture, woe to the nation that calls
00:02:14.620 good evil and evil good. That reverses God's justice and righteousness. No, the thief shall
00:02:24.180 pay he shall surely pay if he has nothing well how does he pay then he shall be sold for his theft
00:02:33.900 not thrown in prison so that those who don't steal now have to pay extra taxes for his food
00:02:43.220 his room and board no it's not what the bible teaches the bible doesn't have jails the bible
00:02:50.480 gives more dignity to man.
00:02:53.080 The Bible doesn't treat man like
00:02:54.740 livestock. The Bible doesn't
00:02:56.820 treat a man like an animal.
00:02:59.020 The Bible gives swift, fair 0.98
00:03:00.760 justice, which does 0.98
00:03:02.840 not require the righteous 1.00
00:03:04.720 people of the society, those who have
00:03:06.780 not committed crimes, to carry
00:03:08.720 the financial weight and burden
00:03:10.800 of those who have. And what the Bible 0.66
00:03:12.700 does is, in some cases,
00:03:15.180 the person simply dies.
00:03:17.460 The death penalty
00:03:18.400 is invoked, depending on the crime.
00:03:21.300 In other cases, the person is publicly
00:03:22.940 flogged and beaten. And then they're allowed
00:03:25.060 to go free. We say that's so unjust, that's so
00:03:27.080 humiliating, that takes a person's dignity
00:03:29.220 more than spending the rest
00:03:31.200 of your life in a jail cell wearing an
00:03:33.020 orange uniform
00:03:34.280 where you can't see your family
00:03:37.260 and every time your children come
00:03:39.120 and see you, they're reminded of the
00:03:41.080 crime you committed. You can never
00:03:43.120 rebuild your reputation,
00:03:45.440 you can never rebuild your home
00:03:47.120 and your family? No, that, that is what steals a man's dignity. So biblical law says, depending on
00:03:54.100 the crime, if it's murder, life for a life, the penalty is death. If it's something lesser, it's a
00:04:00.880 public beating, then you go free. And if it's theft, the Bible teaches not that you go to jail,
00:04:07.340 but you actually pay the person back, double restitution. You pay back what you stole, plus
00:04:13.660 times two. And
00:04:15.620 if you don't have the money, then
00:04:17.840 you work for them.
00:04:20.700 You don't go to jail
00:04:21.840 so that they now work for you,
00:04:24.080 aka working a job, paying taxes
00:04:25.920 for your meals.
00:04:27.560 How does that make sense?
00:04:29.580 You don't get punished where
00:04:31.780 they now work for you. No, they,
00:04:33.860 the person who stole, they're going to work
00:04:35.540 for the person they were stealing from.
00:04:38.740 God is really wise,
00:04:40.240 is He not?
00:04:41.920 We would do well to follow.
00:04:43.660 his wisdom, his law. Can I be frank with you for just a second right here at the end? Look,
00:04:49.500 some of you guys, you're financially supporting this ministry. And from the bottom of my heart,
00:04:54.080 I say, thank you. I cannot thank you enough. However, some of you, you just, you can't afford
00:05:01.120 it. In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it. Let's be honest. I mean, we're living in Joe
00:05:07.460 Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation and our totalitarian political elites lost their minds 0.99
00:05:16.480 over the last three years due to COVID. We have written checks that we simply cannot cash. It
00:05:23.660 doesn't matter if people change the definition of a recession. We are living in a recession
00:05:29.260 right now regardless. Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store.
00:05:36.360 You cannot support financially this ministry at this time, nor should you, but you could
00:05:43.140 still help us tremendously.
00:05:45.440 I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time.
00:05:51.360 Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, iTunes, Spotify, whatever
00:05:57.500 that might be.
00:05:58.760 This is the way the system works.
00:06:00.820 We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers.
00:06:04.660 We need to be strategic.
00:06:06.920 You leave us a five-star review, and our podcast shows up for more people.
00:06:11.880 And the Word of God and courageous theology applied in practical ways to every realm of
00:06:18.640 life gets out there.
00:06:20.720 Help us get it out there.
00:06:22.420 Thanks for tuning in.
