00:00:00.000 All right, listen guys, I get it. Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
00:00:04.620 because you're spending your cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and
00:00:09.500 admonition of the Lord. Praise God for you and that endeavor. However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16.220 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing. And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and
00:00:22.520 effectiveness of this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments
00:00:28.060 leaving us a five-star review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share
00:00:34.620 our podcast with a friend. We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.
00:00:41.720 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the
00:00:46.400 mouth of God. You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:49.320 see one of the reasons why you and i deal so poorly with those cases in which we truly are
00:01:00.340 being mistreated is because of two things we have a wrong view of the treatment and we have a wrong
00:01:08.220 view of ourselves in the case of the treatment the alleged mistreatment the alleged injustice
00:01:15.240 that we are enduring,
00:01:17.080 we often view treatment as more harsh than it really is.
00:01:22.420 And in regards to ourselves,
00:01:24.980 our view of not the treatment, but rather ourselves,
00:01:26.960 we often view ourselves as being more deserving
00:01:29.960 and more entitled than we truly are.
00:01:35.140 Part of the reason why everyone in our culture today
00:01:37.800 thinks they're a victim
00:01:38.700 is because of soft skin
00:01:41.020 and an arrogant heart.
00:01:45.240 Soft skin, so that any kind of treatment they endure whatsoever feels like a public flogging.
00:01:52.700 Not because people are actually treating them in harsh manners,
00:01:55.880 but rather because they have such soft skin, they can't endure anything at all.
00:02:04.120 They're snowflakes.
00:02:05.800 They melt on impact.
00:02:08.240 The slightest touch.
00:02:09.740 the reason why so many people think that they're victimized in our culture today
00:02:16.240 some are many are not again it's their view of the treatment and their view of themselves
00:02:21.420 we view treatment as more harsh than it really is because we have thin skin
00:02:26.120 and we view ourselves as being more deserving than we actually are because we have arrogant hearts
00:02:31.180 we have arrogant hearts this is what calvin is getting at when he says
00:02:37.080 owing to the false opinion of his own excellence which every person entertains there is no one who
00:02:43.620 patiently endures that others should rule over him romans chapter five verse three through five
00:02:49.180 says this not only that but we rejoice so if you are brother sister if you are in a position where
00:02:56.120 you really are being mistreated certainly certainly none of us are being mistreated as someone who was
00:03:02.820 a slave at rome 2 000 years ago but that doesn't mean that there's not still legitimate forms of
00:03:09.620 injustice in our culture and in our day so if you are according to god's standard
00:03:15.580 not your soft standard but god's standard if you really are being oppressed if you really are
00:03:22.600 being victimized if it's serious physical abuse sexual abuse remember the pastoral disclaimer
00:03:27.600 if it's not that then why not rather be wronged why not rather be wronged and here's the thing
00:03:36.680 we can be wronged as christians because through suffering we emerge victorious
00:03:43.160 christians win and we win precisely by the means that the world would never suspect
00:03:50.020 christians live by dying christians win by losing christians emerge powerful and victorious
00:03:57.540 by suffering that's our strategy that's our game plan that's how we win 0.88
00:04:06.980 so don't sit there and just mope and gripe when you suffer as a slave
00:04:16.140 certainly not the caliber of of slaves at rome but to some extent or another you are being oppressed
00:04:22.980 when you suffer as a slave think of your suffering itself as your slave when suffering comes into
00:04:30.620 your life say to suffering welcome my slave now produce for me what the lord intends because look
00:04:39.140 at what romans 5 3 through 5 says not only that but we rejoice in our sufferings knowing that
00:04:46.260 suffering produces endurance it produces suffering you're not a slave to suffering suffering is a
00:04:51.940 slave to you suffering works for you like a slave was meant to be under a yoke and produce for its
00:04:57.580 master suffering is under your yoke christian and produces for you knowing that suffering produces
00:05:05.100 endurance and endurance produces character and character produces hope and hope does not put us
00:05:12.060 to shame hope does not disappoint christian hope is so much more than wishful thinking christian
00:05:17.480 hope you can take it to the bank because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the
00:05:23.480 Holy Spirit who has been given to us. As a special thank you for your gift of any amount, we'll be
