00:00:00 Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request.
00:00:03 If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,
00:00:06 would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?
00:00:09 This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do
00:00:12 to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible.
00:00:17 Thanks.
00:00:19 Jesus said,
00:00:20 Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:25 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:30 1 Peter 3, verse 16 says,
00:00:33 having a good conscience so that when you are slandered,
00:00:36 notice that, not if, when, right?
00:00:41 Did Jesus not tell us the world will hate you?
00:00:45 Jesus said, do not be deceived.
00:00:47 The student is not above the teacher.
00:00:49 The slave is not superior to the master.
00:00:53 If the world hated me, if they persecuted me,
00:00:55 they will persecute you.
00:00:56 The only way to escape persecution for the name of Christ as a Christian
00:01:02 is to be very careful and very diligent, very meticulous, 1.00
00:01:06 to make sure you don't look anything like Christ,
00:01:09 which some of us have done very well.
00:01:16 I, at times, my bad.
00:01:18 I've got two mics, still getting used to it.
00:01:21 I, at times, have done that very well.
00:01:23 i i've been cowardly when i should have been courageous
00:01:29 believe it or not you guys are like really more courage you think that's that's your deficiency
00:01:37 more more yeah yeah and and there's been times where i should have been more courageous there's
00:01:46 been times when I should have been more careful. Both. There have been times where I did not
00:01:54 look like Jesus. And if I had, here's the point. If I had, then people wouldn't be upset. That was
00:02:03 the problem. People were upset because I didn't look like Jesus. Nope. If I looked more like
00:02:08 Jesus, more people would have been upset. Not less. Now, those people may have changed, right?
00:02:15 So some people who love Jesus would have been less upset,
00:02:18 but a host of people who don't love Jesus would have been more upset.
00:02:22 Do you understand?
00:02:23 Being above reproach, it's being quick to confess your sins
00:02:27 and modeling spiritual maturity at the realm of not just competency,
00:02:31 but at the realm of character, it is looking like Jesus.
00:02:35 And when we look like Jesus, not just in deed,
00:02:38 I've said this multiple times in our church,
00:02:39 but what the world needs when it comes to the work of an evangelist
00:02:42 is not just for you and I to be mimes for Jesus.
00:02:45 That's what a lot of us want to do, right?
00:02:47 Relational evangelism and just miming out the gospel
00:02:50 through good deeds, like, there's something for that.
00:02:53 The Bible says, do your good deeds,
00:02:55 let your good deeds shine before men
00:02:56 so that they might glorify your Father who is in heaven.
00:02:59 But do you know how they glorify your Father who is in heaven?
00:03:02 Because you have good deeds coupled with words, right?
00:03:07 Romans 10, 14, how will they believe?
00:03:10 Unless they hear, how will they hear?
00:03:11 unless someone preaches, not mimes, preaches, words, not just good deeds.
00:03:17 The person who is glorifying your Father in heaven because they see your good deeds,
00:03:22 it's because coupled with your good deeds, you've also said,
00:03:26 I'm submitted to the Lordship of Christ.
00:03:29 I don't get praise. I don't get credit for this.
00:03:32 This is a work of God.
00:03:34 God is the source of all love.
00:03:36 I wouldn't be loving you as I am if it were not for the ways that God has first loved me.
00:03:41 Those kinds of things.
00:03:42 See, if it's not coupled with words, if it's just deeds, good deeds,
00:03:45 then you know what that does?
00:03:46 It builds people's faith in our Father in heaven?
00:03:48 No.
00:03:49 It builds people's faith further in simply the power of humanity,
00:03:55 the innate good of people.
00:03:59 That doesn't evangelize souls for Christ.
00:04:05 That's simply disciples, and he further equips and builds more
00:04:09 humanitarians. There are many Christians right now who the fruit of their discipleship is not
00:04:19 Christians, but humanitarians. Why? Because they're doing good deeds without glorifying the
00:04:27 Father in heaven by words. There's a problem with that. But when we use words and deeds,
00:04:33 when we truly look like Christ, right? Jesus even said, for which of these miracles,
00:04:38 Which of my deeds are you opposing me?
00:04:42 Are you wanting to kill me?
00:04:43 And what does his opposition say? 0.89
00:04:45 None of them.
00:04:46 So why were they opposing him?
00:04:48 Well, they made it very clear.
00:04:50 It's for your words.
00:04:52 Your words. 0.57
00:04:53 Jesus' words are what got him in trouble.
00:04:57 People didn't kill Jesus because he was feeding the 5,000.
00:05:01 People don't oppose someone for giving away free lunch.
00:05:05 they oppose someone for preaching the gospel which the scripture calls an offense
00:05:13 and if we use both deeds and words aka look like jesus we will be opposed houston we have a problem
00:05:24 i repeat we have a problem our conference is about to sell out i mean about to sell out we
00:05:30 probably have about 75 to 100 seats left. Our venue holds about 525 to 550 seats, and we currently
00:05:39 have 450 people who are registered for this conference. The excitement is tangible. A lot
00:05:45 of people registered because they wanted to hit the early bird rate. We're now at our normal rate,
00:05:50 $130 for an adult, $50 for a kid who's 11 to 17 years old, and kids 10 and under get in free. You
00:05:56 can bring the whole family. But the problem is not that we're going to raise the rate again. The
00:06:01 problem is we're going to run out of tickets and we're going to run out pretty fast. Again,
00:06:05 we've got about a hundred seats or less, 450 people, six months out are already registered
00:06:11 for this conference. We don't want you to miss it. So to ensure that you get to make it to this
00:06:16 conference, you need to register not a month from now, not a week from now, not tomorrow,
00:06:21 But today, you want to be there for the Theonomy and Post-Millennialism Conference, May 5th, 6th, and 7th, with James White, Joe Boot, Gary DeMar, Dale Partridge, and yours truly, Joel Webin.
00:06:34 Go to RightResponseConference.com. Again, that's RightResponseConference.com. It will sell out very soon.
00:06:43 Thanks so much for listening, but real quick, before you go, do us a small favor, take a
00:06:48 moment, and leave us a five-star review if you enjoyed the show.
00:06:51 This is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us get this biblically faithful content
00:06:57 to as many people as possible.
00:06:59 Thanks so much.
