Pastor Ken teaches that there is no such thing as a "carnal Christian" because they have not been sanctified in the area of sexual purity. In fact, in order to be a Christian, one must have sanctification in all areas of the Christian life.

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 admonition
00:00:09 of the lord praise god for you and that endeavor however algorithms are a thing shadow banning
00:00:16 sadly is a thing and one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of
00:00:23 this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us
00:00:28 a five-star review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast
00:00:35 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 mouth of
00:00:46 God. You're listening to Daily Truth. Now, there is no such thing as a carnal Christian in the
00:00:54 sense of someone who claims to be justified, who has no fruit of sanctification. No fruit of 0.85
00:01:01 sanctification. So if we mean there is no such thing as a carnal Christian, and a carnal Christian
00:01:06 is defined as one who has not been sanctified at all, then yes and amen a thousand times.
00:01:13 Unfortunately, I do believe that there are some good brothers, who I respect in many ways,
00:01:18 who would throw in that carnal Christian term
00:01:21 to mean that, well, in such a general way
00:01:25 that it would sweep under its rug, as it were, 0.99
00:01:29 weak Christians, smoldering wicks, bruised reeds. 1.00
00:01:33 People who really are justified 0.99
00:01:34 and actually, because they're justified,
00:01:36 really are sanctified, but just slower.
00:01:41 Sanctified in a real objective sense,
00:01:43 but just in one area
00:01:45 and not the one that you say is the most important.
00:01:47 Do you know that that's one of the greatest temptations, I believe, one of the greatest temptations of Christians, and especially those in positions of spiritual authority, namely pastors such as myself, is to say that this area of sanctification trumps all other areas of sanctification.
00:02:05 that what we do is it's not so much that we discard the scripture it's something that is
00:02:12 biblically and objectively true but what we do is we're not discarding the scripture but what we're
00:02:18 doing is we are narrowing the scripture it's truncating the scripture it's it's not an untruth
00:02:25 it's simply a half truth or in many cases a tenth truth or a one hundredth of a truth what we can do
00:02:35 is we can say, well, there is no justification without the proof of sanctification, and sanctification
00:02:42 looks like blank. And what we just said, the way that we've just defined sanctification and what
00:02:47 it looks like is in accordance with the scripture. The problem is that the scripture also says a
00:02:53 whole lot more. So sanctification looks like growing in the area of sexual purity. And so
00:03:01 if you're a young single man and you are struggling with lust and giving into that temptation, then
00:03:09 you are not sanctified at all. And therefore, you are not justified. And therefore, you are under
00:03:14 God's wrath. Well, if you're a young single man who is falling into an area of temptation and sinning,
00:03:22 that is no trivial matter but i have dealt with many men who are struggling in that area
00:03:31 but by god's grace are undoubtedly growing in spiritual maturity and sanctification in other
00:03:38 areas why do these other areas why are they considered of no account why has the whole
00:03:45 realm of sanctification and fruit of the Spirit been truncated down to one minute aspect of
00:03:52 obedience to God's law. Now, that's not to minimize that particular aspect of obedience to God's law.
00:03:59 Certainly, it matters. But to pretend as though the whole of the Christian life could be boiled 0.65
00:04:07 down to a man conquering the arena of lust is a truncation of the Christian life. Can I be frank
00:04:15 with you for just a second right here at the end. Look, some of you guys, you're financially
00:04:19 supporting this ministry. And from the bottom of my heart, I say, thank you. I cannot thank you
00:04:25 enough. However, some of you, you just, you can't afford it. In fact, some of you, you shouldn't
00:04:32 afford it. Let's be honest. I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation
00:04:39 and our totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID.
00:04:48 We have written checks that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the
00:04:54 definition of a recession. We are living in a recession right now regardless. Some of you are
00:05:01 struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store. You cannot support financially
00:05:07 this ministry at this time, nor should you, but you could still help us tremendously. I am asking
00:05:14 you, please, if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time. Leave us a five-star review
00:05:21 on your favorite podcast platform, iTunes, Spotify, whatever that might be. This is the way the system
00:05:28 works. We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers. We need to be strategic. You leave us a
00:05:36 five-star review, and our podcast shows up for more people. And the Word of God and courageous
00:05:42 theology applied in practical ways to every realm of life gets out there.
00:05:49 Help us get it out there. Thanks for tuning in.
