00:00:00 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:01 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry because you're spending your
00:00:05 cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:10 Praise God for you and that endeavor.
00:00:13 However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing.
00:00:19 And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24 that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star review.
00:00:31 Also, perhaps even more effective than that, 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.
00:00:42 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the
00:00:47 mouth of God.
00:00:47 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:52 I've used this illustration before.
00:00:54 I'll use it again.
00:00:55 If you've ever watched National Geographic,
00:00:57 Animal Planet, whatever,
00:01:01 which gazelle gets eaten by the lion?
00:01:05 The one in the middle of the herd
00:01:07 or the one that's on the outside?
00:01:12 Satan, what does the Bible say? 0.97
00:01:14 Prowls around like a roaring lion. 0.83
00:01:18 So Satan prowls around like a roaring lion
00:01:20 seeking what?
00:01:21 Who he may devour.
00:01:22 and who do lions devour the one separated from the herd so to hand someone over to satan is
00:01:31 essentially simply to treat someone as an outsider to loose them whatever you loose on earth you're
00:01:39 no longer you are a gentile and a tax collector you are no longer in covenant with the church
00:01:45 this visible church to remove someone from your midst like the apostle paul commands in first
00:01:52 corinthians chapter 5 purge the immoral brother from among you hand him over he's committed a
00:02:02 degree of sexual immorality that is unheard of even among the pagans even among the pagans and
00:02:12 you are proud the apostle says no rather you should be ashamed hand him over paul says
00:02:21 spiritually speaking with apostolic authority i've already removed him now you better follow
00:02:27 my judgment and do the same and many biblical commentators and scholars and theologians
00:02:34 agree that in paul's second letter to the corinthians second corinthians namely chapter
00:02:40 two when he mentions a man who is being overwhelmed by unceasing sorrow that should be welcomed back
00:02:47 into fellowship with the Corinthian church that is actually the same man. See the church discipline
00:02:54 it not only exists to protect the purity of the church it also exists as a form of tough love to
00:03:01 produce repentance in the center. Let me say that again. Church discipline is not only a tool that
00:03:08 jesus gives to us to protect the purity of the church from a bad influence but also it protects
00:03:16 or rather it it ultimately in the sovereignty of god if he wills it could be used to bring about
00:03:24 repentance in the center that that form of tough love might eventually bring them to contrition
00:03:32 to not mere worldly sorrow, but godly sorrow
00:03:36 that brings about repentance that leads to life.
00:03:43 Also, we might add, the fact that there are multiple steps in the process
00:03:47 and that there is a jury,
00:03:50 that things are being weighed,
00:03:52 that testimonies have to be tried and true,
00:03:55 that there must be two to three independent lines of testimony,
00:04:00 eyewitness testimony,
00:04:01 in order for something to be established
00:04:03 and then weighed by a larger jury,
00:04:06 namely the whole congregation, the church itself.
00:04:08 All of this is because Jesus is committed to justice
00:04:13 and therefore due process.
00:04:15 That's where we get these principles
00:04:18 in our law system today.
00:04:19 It's being eroded, but we got it from the Bible.
00:04:23 Church discipline, how intricate the process is
00:04:27 in the Bible, what that says is that
00:04:29 Jesus is committed to protecting the church
00:04:31 from the sinner and penitent sinner, 0.96
00:04:33 but Jesus is also just as committed
00:04:36 to protecting the alleged sinner
00:04:39 from an abusive church,
00:04:41 because that happens too.
00:04:43 Can I be frank with you for just a second
00:04:45 right here at the end?
00:04:46 Look, some of you guys,
00:04:48 you're financially supporting this ministry,
00:04:50 and from the bottom of my heart,
00:04:51 I say thank you.
00:04:53 I cannot thank you enough.
00:04:55 However, some of you,
00:04:57 you just, you can't afford it.
00:04:59 In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it.
00:05:02 Let's be honest. 0.91
00:05:04 I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. 0.96
00:05:07 Our nation and our totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last three 0.91
00:05:15 years due to COVID.
00:05:17 We have written checks that we simply cannot cash.
00:05:21 It doesn't matter if people change the definition of a recession.
00:05:25 We are living in a recession right now, regardless.
00:05:29 Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store.
00:05:34 You cannot support financially this ministry at this time, nor should you, but you could
00:05:40 still help us tremendously.
00:05:42 I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time.
00:05:49 Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, iTunes, Spotify, whatever
00:05:55 that might be.
00:05:56 This is the way the system works.
00:05:58 We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers.
00:06:02 We need to be strategic.
00:06:04 You leave us a five-star review, and our podcast shows up for more people.
00:06:09 And the Word of God and courageous theology applied in practical ways to every realm of
00:06:16 life gets out there.
00:06:18 Help us get it out there.
00:06:20 Thanks for tuning in.
