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 All right, listen, guys, I get it. Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
00:00:04 because you're spending your cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and
00:00:09 admonition of the Lord. Praise God for you and that endeavor. However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing. And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and
00:00:22 effectiveness of this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments
00:00:28 leaving us a five-star review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share
00:00:34 our podcast with a friend. 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
00:00:46 mouth of God. You're listening to Daily Truth. We're very, very aware that the state can be a
00:00:54 tyrant. But the evangelical church has been a tyrant for about 60 years in America. And what 0.57
00:01:02 I mean by tyrant is I don't mean a tyrant in your typical Machiavellian totalitarian sense.
00:01:10 I don't mean that. What I mean is a tyrant in terms of time.
00:01:15 your time is being stolen from you on both sides the state is taking your time
00:01:24 by virtue of making you work more hours to cover their large taxes
00:01:29 and then they take your time by taking your kids which you give to them for the record
00:01:35 but they take your kids and not only do they take 40 hours a week
00:01:39 but then how many state programs are your kids enlisted in you've got one act play
00:01:46 you've got football you've got basketball you've got debate you've got all these different things
00:01:55 year round one sport ends another one starts and that's just at the state level and the public
00:02:03 school falls under that category, state. And then you got the church. You got Wednesday night.
00:02:11 Maybe there's a Thursday night. There's a mom's prayer meeting. And some of those moms are kind
00:02:17 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 And then the pastor has the audacity to correct the dads in the room for not leading their families
00:02:32 in family worship?
00:02:34 Pastor, you stole all the time
00:02:36 from that father
00:02:37 to lead them in family worship.
00:02:40 You took family worship time.
00:02:43 And you made the father
00:02:45 outsource it to the church
00:02:46 instead of doing it
00:02:47 with his God-given authority
00:02:49 in the home.
00:02:52 Our church, we have Sunday.
00:02:54 And then we also have Sunday.
00:02:58 And then, this one's exciting,
00:03:01 One week later, you'll have another Sunday.
00:03:05 That's it.
00:03:08 The Lord's Day, not the Lord's Hour, the Lord's Day.
00:03:12 That one's going to be a challenge today.
00:03:15 It's football day, huh?
00:03:18 Some of you won't come.
00:03:19 That's okay.
00:03:20 It's all right.
00:03:21 But I do encourage you, Sunday morning, Sunday evening,
00:03:26 God has sustained in his providence and sovereignty,
00:03:28 he has sustained his church for 2,000 years of church history, predominantly through the Lord's
00:03:34 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 with you for just a second right here at the end? Look, some of you guys, you're financially
00:03:43 supporting this ministry, and from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you. I cannot thank you
00:03:48 enough. However, some of you, you just, you can't afford it. In fact, some of you, you shouldn't
00:03:55 afford it. Let's be honest. I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation
00:04:02 and our totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID.
00:04:11 We have written checks that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the
00:04:17 definition of a recession. We are living in a recession right now, regardless. Some of you
00:04:24 are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store. You cannot support financially this
00:04:31 ministry at this time, nor should you, but you could still help us tremendously. I am asking you,
00:04:38 please, if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time. Leave us a five-star review
00:04:45 on your favorite podcast platform, iTunes, Spotify, whatever that might be. This is the way the system
00:04:52 works. We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers. We need to be strategic.
00:04:58 You leave us a five-star review, and our podcast shows up for more people. And the Word of God
00:05:04 and courageous theology applied in practical ways to every realm of life
00:05:11 gets out there. Help us get it out there. Thanks for tuning in.
