When we're looking at Jesus' words, it's not just what is being said, but how is it being said and who is it said to. What does it mean to be a Christian who speaks with a serrated edge?

00:00:00 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:02 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.
00:00:18 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 review. Also,
00:00:31 perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend. We hope you'll
00:00:37 take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless. When we're looking at Jesus said, man cannot
00:00:44 live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. You're listening
00:00:49 to daily truth using utilizing the the rhetoric of christ and some of the apostles i might add
00:00:59 and some of the prophets like elijah right perhaps your god is using the toilet right now
00:01:04 you know uh maybe he'll be back in a little bit right though that kind of that language is in the
00:01:09 scripture but when we're looking to use that language and to use it lawfully rightly morally
00:01:14 one thing that we should ask is the language itself we need to weigh that with a biblical
00:01:19 worldview with a biblical standard but then the next thing is this not just what is being said
00:01:24 and not just how it's being said but this is one category that christians often never even
00:01:31 consider and it's who is it being said to who's it being said to a lot of times people we just
00:01:39 operate underneath this assumption that well you just you you can never say that there's not one
00:01:47 scenario that ever morally justifies the use of of this point made in this way right so you're
00:01:56 considering two out of three important categories what and how what is being said how is it being
00:02:04 said. And I suggest, brothers and sisters, that there's an immensely significant third category,
00:02:10 which is what is being said, how is it being said, but also who is it being said to.
00:02:20 Notice Jesus, he never aims the crosshairs of his sarcasm, of his mocking language,
00:02:31 at an old, widowed woman
00:02:34 who's poor and starving.
00:02:40 It's almost as, I think that third category
00:02:42 seems to be the most weighty category,
00:02:46 the who, who's the audience.
00:02:48 I think that's the weightiest category
00:02:50 that you can measure
00:02:51 by just simply looking at the life of Jesus.
00:02:56 It seems as though the major category,
00:02:58 it. Whenever we see Jesus using a serrated edge, a sharp tongue, it is almost always boils down to
00:03:07 not even what he's saying or how he's saying it, but who he's saying it to. If they're the leaders
00:03:13 of the day, oppressing the people of God, then Jesus has no qualms about telling them that they're 1.00
00:03:21 dumb. One final thing. I like Amy Craft used this analogy. I thought it was great. Her and my wife 1.00
00:03:31 were talking, we were all talking about kids. And okay, but what about with our kids? You know,
00:03:38 because we have certain rules, there are certain words that Olive and Ruth and Eleanor are not
00:03:42 allowed to say. Oh, you looked up, huh? Olive and Ruth and Eleanor are not allowed to say certain
00:03:48 words but but i noticed that at first if i wasn't careful i could implicitly just say you're not
00:03:55 allowed to use this word because it's a bad word the problem with that argument even as we're
00:04:01 disciplining and training teaching our children is what do you what do you do when you tell your
00:04:05 kid they can't use a word because it's a bad word but then one day they read the bible and see jesus
00:04:09 using it right so what we've done instead is we've started saying there were certain words that it's
00:04:17 not a bad word but it's a sharp word that words are like knives knives are not inherently immoral
00:04:24 you're allowed to have knives in your home but our three-year-old doesn't use a knife
00:04:30 right we're not saying knives are bad we're not banning knives
00:04:36 same with guns right we're not banning guns no we're saying oh no there's there's a place for
00:04:42 this it's sharp sure but sharp doesn't make it bad because sometimes you need something sharp
00:04:49 sometimes you need a knife sometimes you need a gun but that's kind of the fourth category is
00:04:56 what's being said how's it being said who's it being said to but then also who's saying it
00:05:02 so the audience that you're speaking to but also who are you and i would again suggest
00:05:10 if if the who in regards to who's using the language who's saying the sharp words if the who
00:05:17 is a 14 year old teenager and the who they're saying it to is their mom and dad
00:05:25 it could literally be a quotation of the words of jesus and be sin you see so weighing these kinds
00:05:34 things matters. Can I be frank with you for just a second right here at the end? Look, some of you
00:05:40 guys, you're financially supporting this ministry, and from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you.
00:05:46 I cannot thank you enough. However, some of you, you just, you can't afford it. In fact, some of
00:05:53 you, you shouldn't afford it. Let's be honest. I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous
00:05:59 economy. Our nation and our totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last three years 0.98
00:06:08 due to COVID. We have written checks that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people
00:06:15 change the definition of a recession. We are living in a recession right now regardless.
00:06:22 Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store. You cannot support
00:06:28 financially this ministry at this time, nor should you, but you could still help us tremendously.
00:06:36 I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time. Leave us a five
00:06:43 star review on your favorite podcast platform, iTunes, Spotify, whatever that might be. This is
00:06:50 the way the system works. We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers. We need to be
00:06:56 strategic. You leave us a five-star review and our podcast shows up for more people. And the Word of
00:07:03 God and courageous theology applied in practical ways to every realm of life gets out there.
00:07:11 Help us get it out there. Thanks for tuning in.
