00:00:00 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:01 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry because you're spending your
00:00:05 cash and your lives on raising young children 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.
00:00:19 And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24 that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star
00:00:29 review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36 We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.
00:00:42 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of
00:00:47 God. You're listening to Daily Truth. Our eschaton, our ultimate reality that we are
00:00:57 looking towards is not just to be present with the Lord. That is paramount, but it is not
00:01:04 conclusive. That's not everything. Our eschaton that we are looking towards is that the earth
00:01:12 would be filled of the knowledge of God as the waters cover the sea. That the whole earth would
00:01:20 be full of his glory. That as we read in the very beginning of our worship service today,
00:01:26 therefore strong peoples will glorify you cities of even ruthless nations will fear you isaiah 25
00:01:35 isaiah 2 talks about this that the nations would come they would flock to zion we see this in
00:01:44 daniel chapter 2 that the kingdoms of the earth would ultimately be shattered by a stone carved
00:01:51 out by no human hand that comes and crushes into dust the kingdoms of the earth and they're blown
00:01:58 away like chaff but the stone doesn't just crush and destroy wicked pagan nations but the next part 1.00
00:02:06 is that the stone begins to grow into a great mountain that fills the whole earth the leaven 0.98
00:02:12 works through the whole batch of dough the mustard seed grows into a great tree
00:02:17 and all of this is not just heavenly.
00:02:21 It is spiritual
00:02:22 with deep, profound, eternal, spiritual implications,
00:02:26 but it is earthly as well.
00:02:31 Jesus is really Lord.
00:02:34 Really Lord.
00:02:37 I've said this before.
00:02:38 It always gets an angry response, and I get it.
00:02:42 and I do tend to be a bit of an antagonist from time to time.
00:02:49 But you know the already and not yet reality?
00:02:53 We're living in something that Christ has inaugurated the kingdom,
00:02:57 and there's something that's already present, something that's here,
00:02:59 but there's a fulfillment that we're waiting for.
00:03:02 I agree with that theology, that paradigm of already, not yet,
00:03:07 living in the in-between. That's true.
00:03:10 But that's not what most Christians believe.
00:03:12 So I've said it like this, that for someone who is pre-millennial, it's not yet, but soon.
00:03:23 For someone who is post-millennial, it's already, but not fully.
00:03:29 For someone who is all-millennial, it's already, but not really.
00:03:36 That one I despise.
00:03:39 I've come to find that I have more in common
00:03:41 when it comes to practical obedience to Jesus
00:03:44 with the dispensational premillennial
00:03:47 who says, it's all going down,
00:03:51 but over my dead body,
00:03:53 and I'm going to fight as much as I possibly can
00:03:56 for as long as I can.
00:03:57 I have more in common with that Christian
00:04:00 when it comes to just the practical implications
00:04:03 of daily obedience to Christ
00:04:05 than I do with someone else
00:04:07 who thinks that all the Christian life is somewhere in an ethereal plane.
00:04:13 I have very little in common with this individual.
00:04:17 Because I'm concerned about earthly, practical, tangible, physical obedience to Jesus.
00:04:23 As Wilson would say, theology that comes out of your fingertips.
00:04:29 I'm excited about women in our church
00:04:32 living out the realities of scripture by making great sourdough
00:04:38 and that's part of the christian life
00:04:42 i'm excited about families that love children and celebrate children that have children instead of
00:04:52 dogs and purses and and don't just have children because i've come to find that procreation is
00:05:00 much easier than child raising so families that have children but are also training their children
00:05:08 disciplining their children teaching their children admonishing their children christians
00:05:15 who love marriage love family but then even beyond that that they want to actually reform
00:05:22 and restore society, not just the church and the home,
00:05:28 but they want to see the arts Christianized.
00:05:32 We have people in our church who are running for local office.
00:05:35 They want to see government on the ground in our local area honor King Jesus.
00:05:41 We have people in our church submitting righteous bills
00:05:45 with equal weights and measures, with justice to protect pre-born life.
00:05:51 We have people in our church who want to open up medical practices that are ethical and truthful.
00:06:01 And actually, as a part of that, actually tell you what things cost.
00:06:07 There's no other business in all of Western society that doesn't have price tags.
00:06:14 Which is that you come in, we'll make you unconscious.
00:06:17 And while you can't talk or think, we'll decide what's wrong with you
00:06:23 and we'll make up the price out of thin air.
00:06:28 That's called a hospital.
00:06:31 That's insane. 1.00
00:06:33 That is not Christian. 1.00
00:06:36 But it can be. 1.00
00:06:38 Have you wondered why still to this day an ambulance drives by
00:06:42 and there's a stick with a serpent wrapped around it?
00:06:46 that's pagan no it's not it's christian that's because moses was commanded when israel was
00:06:54 getting sick and bitten by poisonous serpents he was commanded to fashion a bronze serpent
00:06:59 and to rise it up to raise it up and that all in israel who were sick and bitten by the vipers if
00:07:06 they would look to the bronze serpent god promised that they would be healed and that became the
00:07:11 emblem of medicine, healing balm. Hospitals weren't started by pagans. You know what pagans do when
00:07:21 you're old and sick? They take you up to the top of a mountain near a cliff, and they tell you that
00:07:27 if you jump off, that you're going to go to some magical land and be happy forever, because you're
00:07:34 too much a burden on the society at that point, so we need to get rid of you. That's what Vikings do. 1.00
00:07:40 they don't make hospitals they tell people to jump off cliffs and you say well that's absurd
00:07:47 vikings did that yeah vikings in canada today in 2023 it's the same thing
00:07:56 it's not secularism now secularism was always meant to be a placeholder
00:08:03 It's paganism.
00:08:05 It's the same sentiment. 1.00
00:08:08 Commercials of some pretty woman
00:08:09 looking out to an ocean on the sand,
00:08:13 talking about how it's courageous and beautiful
00:08:16 to engage in euthanasia and assisted suicide.
00:08:22 That's Valhalla.
00:08:24 That's the same thing.
00:08:26 There is no difference. 0.99
00:08:30 No, hospitals come from Christians. 0.95
00:08:33 Good art comes from Christians. 1.00
00:08:37 Just government and good laws come from Christians.
00:08:44 And Jesus has commanded us to go into all the nations
00:08:48 and to baptize them.
00:08:51 To make disciples by going into all the nations
00:08:54 and baptize them into the name of the triune God
00:08:57 and to just talk about the gospel and say,
00:09:01 we don't like i don't want to preach law no that's not the great commission baptize them and teach
00:09:08 them to obey all my commands that is part of the great commission and not just obey all my commands
00:09:16 in private in your home but obedience to all my commands as far as the implication and practical
00:09:25 application of that obedience goes. And do you want to know how far the practical implications
00:09:32 of obedience to King Jesus goes? Into every square inch. That's how far it goes. Into everything.
00:09:39 There is no dark shadowy place that's off limits. And so as we are teaching, all this is to set the
00:09:46 stage for the next few months. But as we are teaching through the book of Joshua, I want you
00:09:51 to think about the New Testament church. That the New Testament church does not just find
00:09:57 commonality with Old Testament Israel when it's in captivity and slavery in Egypt under Moses
00:10:04 waiting for deliverance or when it's in captivity in Babylon waiting for deliverance. But that the
00:10:11 New Testament church also finds commonality with Old Testament Israel when it's under the command
00:10:17 of Joshua and told to be strong and courageous, not just winsome and patient, but strong and
00:10:26 courageous to do what? To be delivered from the land. No, to conquer the land, to take the land.
00:10:37 Because the meek will inherit not just the 17th dimension. The meek will inherit the earth, 0.97
00:10:45 not another one this one it's our birthright why because it's his birthright
00:10:54 i have set my holy one up on mount zion
00:10:59 all the nations rage and seek to burst the bonds apart but the lord holds them in derision
00:11:09 and he laughs and mocks because jesus conquered jesus inherited the earth it's his and all those
00:11:22 who have union with christ by the spirit through faith the earth belongs to us because the earth
00:11:30 belongs to christ can i be frank with you for just a second right here at the end look some of you
00:11:36 guys, you're financially supporting this ministry. And from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you.
00:11:42 I cannot thank you enough. However, some of you, you just, you can't afford it. In fact, some of
00:11:50 you, you shouldn't afford it. Let's be honest. I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous
00:11:55 economy. Our nation and our totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last three years 0.98
00:12:04 due to COVID. We have written checks that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people
00:12:11 change the definition of a recession. We are living in a recession right now regardless.
00:12:18 Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store. You cannot support
00:12:25 financially this ministry at this time, nor should you, but you could still help us tremendously.
00:12:31 I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time.
00:12:38 Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, iTunes, Spotify, whatever
00:12:44 that might be.
00:12:45 This is the way the system works.
00:12:47 We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers.
00:12:52 We need to be strategic.
00:12:53 You leave us a five-star review, and our podcast shows up for more people.
00:12:58 and the Word of God and courageous theology applied in practical ways to every realm of life
00:13:06 gets out there. Help us get it out there. Thanks for tuning in.
