00:00:00 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:01 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
00:00:04 because you're spending your cash and your lives
00:00:06 on raising young children
00:00:08 in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:10 Praise God for you and that endeavor.
00:00:13 However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing.
00:00:18 And one major way that you can help to expand
00:00:21 the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24 that doesn't cost you a dime
00:00:25 is by spending just a few moments
00:00:28 leaving us a five-star review.
00:00:31 Also, perhaps even more effective than that,
00:00:33 you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36 We hope you'll take the time to do so.
00:00:38 Thank you so much.
00:00:39 God bless.
00:00:41 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone,
00:00:44 but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:47 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:52 Our nation, especially America,
00:00:55 is in desperate need for faithful households
00:00:59 led by godly men who take responsibility for others.
00:01:06 What I want you to see finally as we close today,
00:01:10 please don't miss this.
00:01:11 Hang on for just one more moment.
00:01:13 What I want you to see in the text is this.
00:01:15 God is, he is revealing to us his system
00:01:20 for solving world hunger.
00:01:23 This is, I mean, this is incredible.
00:01:25 A clear, unbroken system, a plan, a strategy for solving poverty at a national level.
00:01:39 You know what it is?
00:01:42 Families.
00:01:46 Not welfare.
00:01:49 I want you to get this.
00:01:52 This is not some weird ICGs.
00:01:53 this is a clear implication from the text.
00:01:57 Three spheres that God has divinely instituted.
00:02:01 The family, the church, and the state.
00:02:03 All three were God's idea, not the invention of man.
00:02:07 And what we see in our text today,
00:02:09 as it concerns caring for the poor,
00:02:12 we see two of those spheres,
00:02:14 and the third is not even mentioned.
00:02:17 Because the government, that is, the civil state,
00:02:20 is not what God has created to meet the needs of the poor.
00:02:26 It's not. It is not His design.
00:02:29 Romans 13 is clear.
00:02:30 God instituted the civil state in order to legislate laws
00:02:36 that mirror His law, His morality,
00:02:40 and to execute swift justice for those who break those laws
00:02:45 and reward those who do good.
00:02:50 So then who takes care of the poor?
00:02:52 Now, I've heard it often said in the American evangelical church
00:02:56 that the government, rather, wouldn't have to do what it does for the poor
00:03:01 if the church would rise to the occasion.
00:03:03 I don't see that in the text either.
00:03:07 What do we see in the text?
00:03:10 What the text says is not the church cares for the poor.
00:03:15 That's there, but that's the secondary principle.
00:03:19 The primary is this, the family cares for the poor.
00:03:25 What do we see in the text again and again and again?
00:03:27 Why is there a list of qualifications for widows?
00:03:29 Right? 1.00
00:03:29 You would expect, you would almost seem to assume that if someone's a widow, my goodness, just help them.
00:03:36 That's not what it says.
00:03:38 Somebody's a widow?
00:03:39 Let's investigate. 0.98
00:03:41 Let's see.
00:03:42 How badly do they actually need help?
00:03:44 Do they require it?
00:03:46 Do they deserve it?
00:03:48 Do they have need?
00:03:50 Are they faithful?
00:03:51 If so, then the church takes on that need.
00:03:56 But who is the first institution that is looked to to meet the need of a widow?
00:04:02 The family. 0.99
00:04:03 Does she have children?
00:04:05 Does she have grandchildren?
00:04:06 And so it is with orphans.
00:04:08 Is there an uncle?
00:04:09 Is there an aunt?
00:04:09 Why are they not adopting them?
00:04:12 Don't burden the church.
00:04:14 The church exists as a free safety.
00:04:17 as a final line of defense for the poor.
00:04:21 But what our nation needs is for the government
00:04:24 to get in their own business and not ours
00:04:28 and for churches to hold the line
00:04:32 and to quit caring about doing things that look generous
00:04:36 in the public's eyes and be actually biblically generous
00:04:40 according to God's standard.
00:04:41 And you know what that'll do?
00:04:43 I'm just going to be honest with you.
00:04:45 It'll mean that a lot of people initially will starve.
00:04:47 but you know what that'll do even god hating men because they are created in the image of god
00:04:56 something will begin to rattle inside of them when they realize that uncle sam's not going to come in
00:05:03 and be a father to their kids and the church is not going to that if they're not a father
00:05:08 if they don't fight if they don't protect if they don't provide there are consequences for
00:05:14 their irresponsibility. Then men, even God hating men because they're made in the image of God in
00:05:20 his common grace will hold the line. What our nation needs is not just gospel preaching churches.
00:05:27 Our nation needs a revival in households, fathers, caring for their own.
00:05:35 Thanks so much for listening. But real quick, before you go, do us a small favor, take a moment
00:05:40 and leave us a five-star review if you enjoyed the show.
00:05:44 This is undoubtedly the best way
00:05:46 that you can help us get this biblically faithful content
00:05:49 to as many people as possible.
00:05:51 Thanks so much.
