00:00:00.000 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:01.900 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry because you're spending your
00:00:05.900 cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:10.740 Praise God for you and that endeavor.
00:00:13.860 However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16.380 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing.
00:00:19.000 And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24.160 that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star
00:00:29.980 review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36.560 We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.
00:00:42.340 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of
00:00:47.420 God. You're listening to Daily Truth. Our eschaton, our ultimate reality that we are
00:00:57.940 looking towards is not just to be present with the Lord. That is paramount, but it is not
00:01:04.100 conclusive. That's not everything. Our eschaton that we are looking towards is that the earth
00:01:12.020 would be filled of the knowledge of God as the waters cover the sea. That the whole earth would
00:01:20.940 be full of his glory. That as we read in the very beginning of our worship service today,
00:01:26.180 therefore strong peoples will glorify you cities of even ruthless nations will fear you isaiah 25
00:01:35.100 isaiah 2 talks about this that the nations would come they would flock to zion we see this in
00:01:44.980 daniel chapter 2 that the kingdoms of the earth would ultimately be shattered by a stone carved
00:01:51.840 out by no human hand that comes and crushes into dust the kingdoms of the earth and they're blown
00:01:58.520 away like chaff but the stone doesn't just crush and destroy wicked pagan nations but the next part
00:02:06.360 is that the stone begins to grow into a great mountain that fills the whole earth the leaven
00:02:12.380 works through the whole batch of dough the mustard seed grows into a great tree
00:02:17.480 and all of this is not just heavenly.
00:02:21.700 It is spiritual
00:02:22.820 with deep, profound, eternal, spiritual implications,
00:02:26.940 but it is earthly as well.
00:02:31.480 Jesus is really Lord.
00:02:34.800 Really Lord.
00:02:37.220 I've said this before.
00:02:38.640 It always gets an angry response, and I get it.
00:02:42.980 and I do tend to be a bit of an antagonist from time to time.
00:02:49.160 But you know the already and not yet reality?
00:02:53.520 We're living in something that Christ has inaugurated the kingdom,
00:02:57.140 and there's something that's already present, something that's here,
00:02:59.480 but there's a fulfillment that we're waiting for.
00:03:02.080 I agree with that theology, that paradigm of already, not yet,
00:03:07.400 living in the in-between. That's true.
00:03:10.600 But that's not what most Christians believe.
00:03:12.980 So I've said it like this, that for someone who is pre-millennial, it's not yet, but soon.
00:03:23.520 For someone who is post-millennial, it's already, but not fully.
00:03:29.340 For someone who is all-millennial, it's already, but not really.
00:03:36.020 That one I despise.
00:03:39.280 I've come to find that I have more in common
00:03:41.840 when it comes to practical obedience to Jesus
00:03:44.080 with the dispensational premillennial
00:03:47.160 who says, it's all going down,
00:03:51.540 but over my dead body,
00:03:53.160 and I'm going to fight as much as I possibly can
00:03:56.240 for as long as I can.
00:03:57.980 I have more in common with that Christian
00:04:00.280 when it comes to just the practical implications
00:04:03.640 of daily obedience to Christ
00:04:05.600 than I do with someone else
00:04:07.460 who thinks that all the Christian life is somewhere in an ethereal plane.
00:04:13.500 I have very little in common with this individual.
00:04:17.280 Because I'm concerned about earthly, practical, tangible, physical obedience to Jesus.
00:04:23.940 As Wilson would say, theology that comes out of your fingertips.
00:04:29.700 I'm excited about women in our church
00:04:32.120 living out the realities of scripture by making great sourdough
00:04:38.000 and that's part of the christian life
00:04:42.200 i'm excited about families that love children and celebrate children that have children instead of
00:04:52.280 dogs and purses and and don't just have children because i've come to find that procreation is
00:05:00.320 much easier than child raising so families that have children but are also training their children
00:05:08.620 disciplining their children teaching their children admonishing their children christians
00:05:15.980 who love marriage love family but then even beyond that that they want to actually reform
00:05:22.200 and restore society, not just the church and the home,
00:05:28.880 but they want to see the arts Christianized.
00:05:32.640 We have people in our church who are running for local office.
00:05:35.620 They want to see government on the ground in our local area honor King Jesus.
00:05:41.680 We have people in our church submitting righteous bills
00:05:45.220 with equal weights and measures, with justice to protect pre-born life.
00:05:51.220 We have people in our church who want to open up medical practices that are ethical and truthful.
00:06:01.660 And actually, as a part of that, actually tell you what things cost.
00:06:07.440 There's no other business in all of Western society that doesn't have price tags.
00:06:14.700 Which is that you come in, we'll make you unconscious.
00:06:17.920 And while you can't talk or think, we'll decide what's wrong with you
00:06:23.920 and we'll make up the price out of thin air.
00:06:28.540 That's called a hospital.
00:06:31.740 That's insane.
00:06:33.780 That is not Christian.
00:06:36.020 But it can be.
00:06:38.720 Have you wondered why still to this day an ambulance drives by
00:06:42.380 and there's a stick with a serpent wrapped around it?
00:06:46.280 that's pagan no it's not it's christian that's because moses was commanded when israel was
00:06:54.480 getting sick and bitten by poisonous serpents he was commanded to fashion a bronze serpent
00:06:59.800 and to rise it up to raise it up and that all in israel who were sick and bitten by the vipers if
00:07:06.380 they would look to the bronze serpent god promised that they would be healed and that became the
00:07:11.440 emblem of medicine, healing balm. Hospitals weren't started by pagans. You know what pagans do when
00:07:21.100 you're old and sick? They take you up to the top of a mountain near a cliff, and they tell you that
00:07:27.880 if you jump off, that you're going to go to some magical land and be happy forever, because you're
00:07:34.020 too much a burden on the society at that point, so we need to get rid of you. That's what Vikings do.
00:07:40.380 they don't make hospitals they tell people to jump off cliffs and you say well that's absurd
00:07:47.200 vikings did that yeah vikings in canada today in 2023 it's the same thing
00:07:56.700 it's not secularism now secularism was always meant to be a placeholder
00:08:03.860 It's paganism.
00:08:05.980 It's the same sentiment.
00:08:08.340 Commercials of some pretty woman
00:08:09.960 looking out to an ocean on the sand,
00:08:13.060 talking about how it's courageous and beautiful
00:08:16.380 to engage in euthanasia and assisted suicide.
00:08:22.880 That's Valhalla.
00:08:24.800 That's the same thing.
00:08:26.940 There is no difference.
00:08:30.640 No, hospitals come from Christians.
00:08:33.680 Good art comes from Christians.
00:08:37.520 Just government and good laws come from Christians.
00:08:44.240 And Jesus has commanded us to go into all the nations
00:08:48.040 and to baptize them.
00:08:51.200 To make disciples by going into all the nations
00:08:54.440 and baptize them into the name of the triune God
00:08:57.640 and to just talk about the gospel and say,
00:09:01.480 we don't like i don't want to preach law no that's not the great commission baptize them and teach
00:09:08.260 them to obey all my commands that is part of the great commission and not just obey all my commands
00:09:16.660 in private in your home but obedience to all my commands as far as the implication and practical
00:09:25.140 application of that obedience goes. And do you want to know how far the practical implications
00:09:32.040 of obedience to King Jesus goes? Into every square inch. That's how far it goes. Into everything.
00:09:39.420 There is no dark shadowy place that's off limits. And so as we are teaching, all this is to set the
00:09:46.200 stage for the next few months. But as we are teaching through the book of Joshua, I want you
00:09:51.860 to think about the New Testament church. That the New Testament church does not just find
00:09:57.940 commonality with Old Testament Israel when it's in captivity and slavery in Egypt under Moses
00:10:04.920 waiting for deliverance or when it's in captivity in Babylon waiting for deliverance. But that the
00:10:11.820 New Testament church also finds commonality with Old Testament Israel when it's under the command
00:10:17.580 of Joshua and told to be strong and courageous, not just winsome and patient, but strong and
00:10:26.920 courageous to do what? To be delivered from the land. No, to conquer the land, to take the land.
00:10:37.940 Because the meek will inherit not just the 17th dimension. The meek will inherit the earth,
00:10:45.760 not another one this one it's our birthright why because it's his birthright
00:10:54.980 i have set my holy one up on mount zion
00:10:59.460 all the nations rage and seek to burst the bonds apart but the lord holds them in derision
00:11:09.180 and he laughs and mocks because jesus conquered jesus inherited the earth it's his and all those
00:11:22.580 who have union with christ by the spirit through faith the earth belongs to us because the earth
00:11:30.520 belongs to christ can i be frank with you for just a second right here at the end look some of you
00:11:36.940 guys, you're financially supporting this ministry. And from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you.
00:11:42.660 I cannot thank you enough. However, some of you, you just, you can't afford it. In fact, some of
00:11:50.000 you, you shouldn't afford it. Let's be honest. I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous
00:11:55.940 economy. Our nation and our totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last three years
00:12:04.980 due to COVID. We have written checks that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people
00:12:11.920 change the definition of a recession. We are living in a recession right now regardless.
00:12:18.820 Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store. You cannot support
00:12:25.120 financially this ministry at this time, nor should you, but you could still help us tremendously.
00:12:31.780 I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time.
00:12:38.360 Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, iTunes, Spotify, whatever
00:12:44.500 that might be.
00:12:45.760 This is the way the system works.
00:12:47.840 We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers.
00:12:52.020 We need to be strategic.
00:12:53.880 You leave us a five-star review, and our podcast shows up for more people.
