The reason why so many people in our culture today think they re a victim is because of soft skin and an arrogant heart. We view ourselves as being more deserving than we truly are, and we have a wrong view of the treatment and the injustice we are enduring. And in regards to ourselves, our view of not the treatment, but rather ourselves, we often view ourselves as being more deserving and more entitled than we are. This is why we deal so poorly with those cases in which we are being mistreated.

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.
00:00:41 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.
00:00:49 see one of the reasons why you and i deal so poorly with those cases in which we truly are
00:01:00 being mistreated is because of two things we have a wrong view of the treatment and we have a wrong
00:01:08 view of ourselves in the case of the treatment the alleged mistreatment the alleged injustice
00:01:15 that we are enduring,
00:01:17 we often view treatment as more harsh than it really is.
00:01:22 And in regards to ourselves,
00:01:24 our view of not the treatment, but rather ourselves,
00:01:26 we often view ourselves as being more deserving
00:01:29 and more entitled than we truly are.
00:01:35 Part of the reason why everyone in our culture today
00:01:37 thinks they're a victim
00:01:38 is because of soft skin
00:01:41 and an arrogant heart.
00:01:45 Soft skin, so that any kind of treatment they endure whatsoever feels like a public flogging.
00:01:52 Not because people are actually treating them in harsh manners,
00:01:55 but rather because they have such soft skin, they can't endure anything at all.
00:02:04 They're snowflakes.
00:02:05 They melt on impact.
00:02:08 The slightest touch.
00:02:09 the reason why so many people think that they're victimized in our culture today
00:02:16 some are many are not again it's their view of the treatment and their view of themselves
00:02:21 we view treatment as more harsh than it really is because we have thin skin
00:02:26 and we view ourselves as being more deserving than we actually are because we have arrogant hearts
00:02:31 we have arrogant hearts this is what calvin is getting at when he says
00:02:37 owing to the false opinion of his own excellence which every person entertains there is no one who
00:02:43 patiently endures that others should rule over him romans chapter five verse three through five
00:02:49 says this not only that but we rejoice so if you are brother sister if you are in a position where
00:02:56 you really are being mistreated certainly certainly none of us are being mistreated as someone who was
00:03:02 a slave at rome 2 000 years ago but that doesn't mean that there's not still legitimate forms of
00:03:09 injustice in our culture and in our day so if you are according to god's standard
00:03:15 not your soft standard but god's standard if you really are being oppressed if you really are
00:03:22 being victimized if it's serious physical abuse sexual abuse remember the pastoral disclaimer
00:03:27 if it's not that then why not rather be wronged why not rather be wronged and here's the thing
00:03:36 we can be wronged as christians because through suffering we emerge victorious
00:03:43 christians win and we win precisely by the means that the world would never suspect
00:03:50 christians live by dying christians win by losing christians emerge powerful and victorious
00:03:57 by suffering that's our strategy that's our game plan that's how we win 0.88
00:04:06 so don't sit there and just mope and gripe when you suffer as a slave
00:04:16 certainly not the caliber of of slaves at rome but to some extent or another you are being oppressed
00:04:22 when you suffer as a slave think of your suffering itself as your slave when suffering comes into
00:04:30 your life say to suffering welcome my slave now produce for me what the lord intends because look
00:04:39 at what romans 5 3 through 5 says not only that but we rejoice in our sufferings knowing that
00:04:46 suffering produces endurance it produces suffering you're not a slave to suffering suffering is a
00:04:51 slave to you suffering works for you like a slave was meant to be under a yoke and produce for its
00:04:57 master suffering is under your yoke christian and produces for you knowing that suffering produces
00:05:05 endurance and endurance produces character and character produces hope and hope does not put us
00:05:12 to shame hope does not disappoint christian hope is so much more than wishful thinking christian
00:05:17 hope you can take it to the bank because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the
00:05:23 Holy Spirit who has been given to us. As a special thank you for your gift of any amount, we'll be
