00:00:00.000 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:02.080 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
00:00:04.780 because you're spending your cash and your lives
00:00:07.080 on raising young children
00:00:08.680 in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:10.740 Praise God for you and that endeavor.
00:00:13.860 However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16.380 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing.
00:00:19.000 And one major way that you can help to expand
00:00:21.760 the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24.160 that doesn't cost you a dime
00:00:25.880 is by spending just a few moments
00:00:28.220 leaving us a five-star review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share
00:00:34.780 our podcast with a friend. We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.
00:00:42.320 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the
00:00:47.040 mouth of God. You're listening to Daily Truth. The Bible is the highest rule of law in all the
00:00:56.280 land, in all the land. It doesn't matter what form of government it is. It doesn't matter what their
00:01:02.000 constitution says. It doesn't matter if it's a monarchy or a republic. The Bible is the supreme
00:01:09.220 authority. Now in the ecclesiastical sphere of government, the church, 1st Timothy chapter 3 0.85
00:01:16.600 verse 1 says this, he who desires to be an elder or he who desires or aspires to the office of elder
00:01:24.860 desires a noble task. And although scripture does not explicitly say it, we can, I believe,
00:01:33.640 necessarily conclude from the whole of scripture that he who desires to be an officer, not merely
00:01:40.400 in ecclesiastical government, in the sphere of the church, but he who desires to be a civil officer
00:01:47.080 and the state, the sphere of the state, also desires a noble task. We are not Gnostics.
00:01:55.780 We are not impotent pietists. We do not believe that the church is the only institution in this
00:02:04.040 world that matters. We value, because God values, all of life, all of creation, every facet of
00:02:14.480 society. Civil government and aspiring to positions of civil authority is a noble aspiration. Just as
00:02:24.380 a man desires to be an elder in Christ's church, that is a noble ambition, so too a man who aspires
00:02:31.980 to be a magistrate in the civil form of government and society today aspires to a noble thing. But
00:02:40.120 if he is granted in God's providence that position, he must live in a noble way. He must execute his
00:02:48.620 powers nobly. And all positions of authority, whether it be in the home as a father or as a
00:02:55.900 husband who is head of his wife and head of the children, there is familial authority. A man who
00:03:01.820 has authority in the home or a man who has authority in the church or a man who has authority
00:03:06.880 in the state, one of the first things that he should thoroughly familiarize himself with
00:03:12.360 is the limits of his authority, the jurisdiction of his authority. How much authority does he
00:03:19.540 actually have? What is the extent of its reach? Where does his authority stop? What is he allowed
00:03:29.600 to do? What must he do? And what must he not do? Can I be frank with you for just a second?
00:03:36.880 right here at the end. Look, some of you guys, you're financially supporting this ministry,
00:03:41.440 and from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you. I cannot thank you enough. However, some of you,
00:03:48.500 you just can't afford it. In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it. Let's be honest. I mean,
00:03:55.760 we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation and our totalitarian political elites 0.98
00:04:03.840 lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID. We have written checks that we simply
00:04:11.340 cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the definition of a recession. We are living in
00:04:17.900 a recession right now regardless. Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the
00:04:24.800 grocery store. You cannot support financially this ministry at this time, nor should you,
00:04:31.100 but you could still help us tremendously i am asking you please if you're willing to do so
00:04:37.840 take one minute of your time leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform
00:04:44.580 itunes spotify whatever that might be this is the way the system works we want to be innocent as
00:04:51.480 doves but shrewd as vipers we need to be strategic you leave us a five-star review and our podcast
00:04:58.980 shows up for more people. And the Word of God and courageous theology applied in practical ways to
00:05:06.880 every realm of life gets out there. Help us get it out there. Thanks for tuning in.
