When our fathers and mothers get old, we send them to the glue factory. We let somebody else deal with that problem. Whereas there are many cultures and societies where, when they reach an elderly stage of life, they live with their grown children until they die.

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.
00:00:31 Also, perhaps even more effective than that,
00:00:33 you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36 We hope you'll take the time to do so.
00:00:38 Thank you so much.
00:00:39 God bless.

00:01:21 Jesus said,
00:01:22 Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:01:27 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:01:31 Honor your father and mother.
00:01:34 And I do believe that this includes, at some level, as best we can with the resources that God has given us,
00:01:41 not just to give mere lip service to our father and mother,
00:01:47 but to honor them in practical, tangible ways.
00:01:50 um our society has done a terrible job at honoring our father and mother
00:01:57 a terrible job at honoring our father and mother when our fathers and mothers get old
00:02:05 we send them to the glue factory we ship them off we let somebody else deal with that problem
00:02:13 whereas there are many cultures and societies where fathers and mothers when they reach
00:02:20 an elderly stage of life they they live with their grown children until they die
00:02:28 and that's just the way that the society and culture functions i think of my parents
00:02:34 and my grandmother that when she was older and could not care for herself they moved her into
00:02:41 their home and she died physically in that house and they were there caring for her of course
00:02:48 outsourcing some medical expertise towards those later moments of life when she was in physical
00:02:54 pain, but they honored my dad's mother, that she died with them. She didn't die surrounded by
00:03:02 strangers. She died surrounded by people that she loved, that she knew. My mother did the same for
00:03:10 her mother. They weren't able to bring her into the home, but my mother was gone for several months
00:03:18 collectively with her mother when she had leukemia, when she died, caring for her, loving her,
00:03:27 comforting her, reminding her of God's promises, singing some of her favorite hymns, sharing with
00:03:34 her some of her favorite Bible verses. I think of Jim Wilson, who recently passed away. Doug Wilson's
00:03:42 father. He passed away in the home with the family. And as he got older, Doug and Nancy,
00:03:50 they left their house and they moved into Jim's house. It seemed to make more sense for whatever
00:03:57 reason practically. And when he died, he had his son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren,
00:04:04 great grandchildren about 20 25 individuals all in all singing and praying around his bed as he
00:04:16 breathed his last breaths and entered into glory honoring your father and mother
00:04:22 now practically one of the implications of honoring your father and mother
00:04:27 is money. Money. At some level, to care for your parents as they age will likely require some
00:04:39 inconvenience. It could just simply be having to move homes or this or that, but it also might
00:04:45 involve money. Now, the scripture also says it is not right for the children to save up for the
00:04:51 parents, but rather that the parents would save up for the children. So that's not an excuse for us
00:04:58 before we reach a point of being elderly to do our best to store up an inheritance not only for
00:05:03 our children, but our children's children. So as best we can, that we would not be a financial
00:05:08 burden, but it will be a physical and time burden. And God has orchestrated things in his providence
00:05:16 and sovereignty in such a way. Right now, my wife and I have four young children. Later in life,
00:05:24 it's likely that we'll have more money than we currently do. But we won't have more energy
00:05:30 than we currently do. And right now, with the stage of our children, what they need is energy.
00:05:37 They need parents who can run after them. They can be with them, training them, loving them,
00:05:44 encouraging them, disciplining them, teaching them, 12 hours a day. And I praise God that it's
00:05:51 12 hours a day. Really 10, if you can really get a good nap in there.
00:05:59 I mean, when you think about it, right, waking up at 7, going to bed at 7, getting a little nap
00:06:04 from 1 to 3, whatever it may be, in that 2, 3-year-old age, if God didn't design children
00:06:11 to require as much sleep as they do, the human race would have ended. I really, I think because
00:06:18 of our sin and our selfishness, I really think we would have been done by now, like thousands of
00:06:23 years ago. So it's the mercy of God that children require as much sleep as they do. And it's the
00:06:29 mercy of God that God gives us, if we're willing, many children. Because as tiring as it sometimes
00:06:37 is there's it's just there's no greater blessing apart from marriage and salvation itself
00:06:43 i thought i knew the things in life that would make me happy and i've realized again and again
00:06:51 and again that every single one of the things that i thought would make me happy actually made
00:06:56 me miserable that i've always been wrong like always so i think i need more free time and god
00:07:05 thinks I need four kids. And those things are at odds with one another. One made me anxious
00:07:11 too much time. The other made me joyful. It's good for a man to go to bed tired,
00:07:20 to live a full life, to spend himself for someone else. So honoring your father.
00:07:28 All right. All right. All right. Stop twisting my arm. I know you want to hear the inside scoop.
00:07:32 Here it is. The glorious vision of Right Response Ministries for the first half of next year,
00:07:38 2023. We have not one, not two, but three massive endeavors that we will accomplish by the grace
00:07:46 of God. The first you already know about. It's our Theonomy and Post-Millennialism Conference.
00:07:51 This is selling out incredibly fast. By the time this commercial airs, you may not even
00:07:55 be able to get a ticket. I really don't know. So don't waste another moment. Go to
00:08:00 rightresponseconference.com, rightresponseconference.com to join us for the Theonomy and Post-Millennialism
00:08:07 Conference next year. Now, this is where you come in. We need your help. Our next two endeavors
00:08:13 are number one, a documentary-style film, and number two, a brand new studio. Both of these
00:08:21 things are seeking to accomplish one primary goal, which is excellent, high-quality, glorious
00:08:28 Christian media. We are tired of, as Christians, doing things poorly. We've done our best with
00:08:36 what we have, but by God's grace, we want to do even better. This is not going to be just another
00:08:42 video. This is not going to be a sermon or an interview or a podcast, but we're going to make
00:08:47 a documentary-style film, and we're going to be hiring Nathan Anderson, the director of On Earth
00:08:53 as it is in heaven, a very, very successful post-millennialism documentary that's on Amazon
00:08:59 and YouTube, came out a couple years ago. He's going to be flying in from Chile to help us direct
00:09:05 this film. And our documentary is going to be on post-millennialism and theonomy, why it's
00:09:11 biblically valid, why it's absolutely necessary, and why, by the grace of God, theonomy and
00:09:17 post-millennialism are currently on the rise. So we're going to make this film and we need
00:09:23 your support. And not just this film, but we're going to make all of our videos and podcasting
00:09:29 and everything we do here at Right Response Ministries better. We want to achieve the
00:09:35 highest level of quality and Christian excellence that we possibly can. That's where the new studio
00:09:41 comes in. This new film, our date that we're shooting for is it would be complete and publicly
00:09:47 available in May or June of 2023 next year. The studio, our goal is that it would be completely
00:09:54 done in its construction and the equipment and the setup and the stage and everything
00:09:58 by January, February of 2023 next year. We need your prayers. We need your encouragement.
00:10:07 And for those of you who are willing to do so, we need your generous support. You can give towards
00:10:12 these endeavors by going to rightresponseministries.com forward slash donate. Again, that's
00:10:19 rightresponseministries.com forward slash donate. Thank you so much for all your help. God bless.
00:10:27 Thanks so much for listening. But real quick, before you go, do us a small favor, take a moment
00:10:32 and leave us a five-star review if you enjoyed the show. This is undoubtedly the best way that
00:10:38 you can help us get this biblically faithful content to as many people as possible. Thanks so
00:10:43 much. Can I be frank with you for just a second right here at the end? Look, some of you guys,
00:10:50 you're financially supporting this ministry, and from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you. I
00:10:55 cannot thank you enough. However, some of you, you just, you can't afford it. In fact, some of you,
00:11:03 you shouldn't afford it. Let's be honest. I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy.
00:11:09 Our nation and our totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last three years 0.91
00:11:18 due to COVID. We have written checks that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people
00:11:25 change the definition of a recession. We are living in a recession right now, regardless.
00:11:31 Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store.
00:11:36 You cannot support financially this ministry at this time, nor should you.
00:11:42 But you could still help us tremendously.
00:11:45 I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time.
00:11:51 Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, iTunes, Spotify, whatever that might be.
00:11:58 This is the way the system works.
00:12:00 We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers.
00:12:05 We need to be strategic.
00:12:06 You leave us a five-star review, and our podcast shows up for more people.
00:12:11 And the Word of God and courageous theology applied in practical ways to every realm of
00:12:18 life gets out there.
00:12:20 Help us get it out there.
00:12:22 Thanks for tuning in.
