The NXR Podcast - DAILY TRUTH - How Mega-Churches Tyrannize Men

The evangelical church has been a tyrant for about 60 years in the United States of America. We're very aware that the state can be a tyrant, but the evangelical Church has been one of the most oppressive institutions in America for a good portion of that time. In order to maintain control over the state, the church needs to learn to be more like God.

00:00:00.000 All right, listen, guys, I get it. Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry

00:00:04.640 because you're spending your cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and

00:00:09.540 admonition of the Lord. Praise God for you and that endeavor. However, algorithms are a thing.

00:00:16.240 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing. And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and

00:00:22.540 effectiveness of this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments

00:00:28.080 leaving us a five-star review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share

00:00:34.640 our podcast with a friend. We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.

00:00:42.240 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the

00:00:46.940 mouth of God. You're listening to Daily Truth. We're very, very aware that the state can be a

00:00:54.920 tyrant. But the evangelical church has been a tyrant for about 60 years in America. And what 0.57

00:01:02.640 I mean by tyrant is I don't mean a tyrant in your typical Machiavellian totalitarian sense.

00:01:10.260 I don't mean that. What I mean is a tyrant in terms of time.

00:01:15.300 your time is being stolen from you on both sides the state is taking your time

00:01:24.900 by virtue of making you work more hours to cover their large taxes

00:01:29.660 and then they take your time by taking your kids which you give to them for the record

00:01:35.360 but they take your kids and not only do they take 40 hours a week

00:01:39.880 but then how many state programs are your kids enlisted in you've got one act play

00:01:46.200 you've got football you've got basketball you've got debate you've got all these different things

00:01:55.960 year round one sport ends another one starts and that's just at the state level and the public

00:02:03.020 school falls under that category, state. And then you got the church. You got Wednesday night.

00:02:11.240 Maybe there's a Thursday night. There's a mom's prayer meeting. And some of those moms are kind

00:02:17.980 of judgy if I don't show up. There's this and there's that. There's that. And there's this. 0.96

00:02:25.020 And then the pastor has the audacity to correct the dads in the room for not leading their families

00:02:32.420 in family worship?

00:02:34.040 Pastor, you stole all the time

00:02:36.340 from that father

00:02:37.100 to lead them in family worship.

00:02:40.060 You took family worship time.

00:02:43.780 And you made the father

00:02:45.260 outsource it to the church

00:02:46.820 instead of doing it

00:02:47.960 with his God-given authority

00:02:49.160 in the home.

00:02:52.240 Our church, we have Sunday.

00:02:54.380 And then we also have Sunday.

00:02:58.800 And then, this one's exciting,

00:03:01.560 One week later, you'll have another Sunday.

00:03:05.540 That's it.

00:03:08.560 The Lord's Day, not the Lord's Hour, the Lord's Day.

00:03:12.180 That one's going to be a challenge today.

00:03:15.040 It's football day, huh?

00:03:18.200 Some of you won't come.

00:03:19.300 That's okay.

00:03:20.440 It's all right.

00:03:21.020 But I do encourage you, Sunday morning, Sunday evening,

00:03:26.220 God has sustained in his providence and sovereignty,

00:03:28.820 he has sustained his church for 2,000 years of church history, predominantly through the Lord's

00:03:34.120 Day gathering of the saints, and not just for an hour and a half, but a full day. Can I be frank

00:03:38.540 with you for just a second right here at the end? Look, some of you guys, you're financially

00:03:43.060 supporting this ministry, and from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you. I cannot thank you

00:03:48.920 enough. However, some of you, you just, you can't afford it. In fact, some of you, you shouldn't

00:03:55.840 afford it. Let's be honest. I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation

00:04:02.760 and our totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID.

00:04:11.540 We have written checks that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the

00:04:17.580 definition of a recession. We are living in a recession right now, regardless. Some of you

00:04:24.340 are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store. You cannot support financially this

00:04:31.200 ministry at this time, nor should you, but you could still help us tremendously. I am asking you,

00:04:38.900 please, if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time. Leave us a five-star review

00:04:45.040 on your favorite podcast platform, iTunes, Spotify, whatever that might be. This is the way the system

00:04:52.060 works. We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers. We need to be strategic.

00:04:58.840 You leave us a five-star review, and our podcast shows up for more people. And the Word of God

00:05:04.880 and courageous theology applied in practical ways to every realm of life

00:05:11.000 gets out there. Help us get it out there. Thanks for tuning in.
