00:00:00.000All right, listen guys, I get it. Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
00:00:04.640because you're spending your cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and
00:00:09.540admonition of the Lord. Praise God for you and that endeavor. However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16.220Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing. And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and
00:00:22.540effectiveness of this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments
00:00:28.080leaving us a five-star review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share
00:00:34.640our podcast with a friend. We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.
00:00:42.180Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the
00:00:46.900mouth of God. You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:49.820it's not just the crime that has to be considered when determining a just punishment penalty it's
00:00:59.900also who the crime is committed against right if we're out in the parking lot and one of you guys0.82
00:01:06.240don't like my sermon today and you're really offended that I said that you're a sinner and0.85
00:01:09.540totally depraved um first I would say well you're probably not a Christian and then that only makes0.99
00:01:14.880my illustration all the more you know likely to unfold you'd be even more offended and let's just0.99
00:01:19.580say that you actually assault me, physically assault me. You push me down the parking lot
00:01:24.220and you threaten to hit me. You're probably going to get away with that. Probably. There probably
00:01:31.200aren't going to be a whole lot of penalties. Maybe a slap on the wrist. It's probably not a great
00:01:35.480idea because a lot of the guys in this church, they love the Lord, they love his word, and they
00:01:38.920carry guns. Praise God. So it's not a good move. I wouldn't recommend it. But if you did that,
00:01:44.540if you did that, there's probably going to be mild penalties or no penalties.
00:01:49.580But if you do that to the president of the United States, if you somehow sneak into the White House and you push him over on the ground, we're talking about a guy who can barely stand, you know, to begin with.
00:02:00.320But you push that guy on the ground, you threaten to punch him.
00:02:04.060Well, you're going to solitary confinement for who knows how long.
00:02:08.360We'll never hear from you because there's people in there right now, right?
00:02:13.020Since January 6th, people, no trial, haven't heard.
00:02:19.580Also, my point is there is something to be said when it comes to determining the penalty for a crime, not just the degree of the crime, but also the one who it's committed against.0.80
00:02:44.340And then when God gives his own son, who is God, the second member of the Trinity, and he is trampled underfoot, mocked, blasphemed, rejected entirely, in absolute arrogance and presumption, you've sinned against God.
00:03:03.860To put it as simply as possible, when you sin against an eternal being, an infinite being, an infinite penalty is the only thing that's just.
00:03:14.340the reason why people go to hell forever is not because God is harsh. It's not because God is
00:03:19.260unfair. It's not because God is mean. It's because God is good. God is good. And one of the qualities
00:03:27.900of that characteristic of goodness is that God is just. You cannot be a good person and be an
00:03:35.260unjust, unfair person. Part of goodness includes with it justice. And the only just penalty
00:03:44.040for an infinite crime committed against an infinite being who made you and breathed breath
00:03:50.480into your lungs is an infinite penalty, an infinite punishment. Can I be frank with you
00:03:58.580for just a second right here at the end? Look, some of you guys, you're financially supporting
00:04:03.380this ministry. And from the bottom of my heart, I say, thank you. I cannot thank you enough.
00:04:09.660However, some of you, you just, you can't afford it.
00:04:13.720In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it.
