The question for the church today is: Why do we not have enemies? Is it because God has enemies, or is it because we are so good at being committed to the truth and loving people than Jesus was?

00:00:00.000 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:01.900 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry because you're spending your
00:00:05.900 cash and your lives on raising young children 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 the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24.160 that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star review.
00:00:31.320 Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36.560 We hope you'll take the time to do so.
00:00:38.480 Thank you so much.
00:00:39.760 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.
00:00:47.980 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:49.940 christian god has enemies the question for the church today is why don't you
00:00:58.180 i'll say that again christian god has enemies the question for the church is why don't you
00:01:10.020 there are really only two answers to that question
00:01:13.580 one and i'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt
00:01:18.960 that you'll be able to conclude and ascertain from this first option I'll lay before you
00:01:26.000 that this is not a good option,
00:01:28.200 that it's radically presumptuous, arrogant, and prideful.
00:01:32.700 But the first option is this,
00:01:34.800 that God has enemies,
00:01:36.200 but His people, the church, do not have enemies
00:01:39.600 because somehow the followers of Jesus
00:01:42.380 are better at being committed to the truth
00:01:46.780 and loving people than Jesus himself was.
00:01:52.860 Again, that's the option that's arrogant and presumptuous.
00:01:58.400 That's the wrong answer.
00:02:00.460 Now, nobody will actually verbalize that.
00:02:03.360 Nobody will come right out and say it.
00:02:05.680 But that is the logical conclusion of many evangelicals today. 0.57
00:02:10.660 The enemies of Christ, they killed him.
00:02:14.300 But the reason why they love his followers is because we've sold out on truth.
00:02:24.640 No, no, no, no.
00:02:25.860 No, it's just because we're fiercely committed without an ounce of compromise
00:02:29.560 to all the truth and principles and law, word of God,
00:02:32.520 and yet also more winsome than Jesus.
00:02:37.520 No. 1.00
00:02:39.680 Woe to you, Christians. 1.00
00:02:41.340 when the New York Times 1.00
00:02:44.740 will publish your articles. 1.00
00:02:48.440 Woe to you, evangelical, 0.98
00:02:51.580 when you're condemning Uganda 0.66
00:02:55.560 for simply advocating for God's law.
00:03:00.620 God has enemies. 0.96
00:03:02.720 But a lot of Christians today don't.
00:03:06.140 And they don't have enemies
00:03:08.040 not because they're actually gracious
00:03:10.400 or kind or merciful or winsome or strategic or shrewd. 1.00
00:03:15.860 The reason why today's Christians, 1.00
00:03:18.800 especially here in the West,
00:03:20.900 don't have enemies
00:03:22.100 is because we don't look like Jesus.
00:03:27.440 We don't look like Jesus.
00:03:30.480 There's just not that much to hate.
00:03:35.660 And there's also not that much that is a threat.
00:03:40.400 Now, Jesus was put to death, but he wasn't put to death because he was viewed as someone who was insane or crazy, a man who merely lost his mind.
00:03:55.060 Jesus was put to death because he was viewed as a legitimate threat.
00:04:01.080 And not just a threat, strictly in an academic, philosophical sense.
00:04:09.260 He wasn't merely a threat to the way that people think.
00:04:13.420 He was a threat in the physical, literal sense to the way in which people lived.
00:04:19.360 There's a reason why Pilate was very concerned about Jesus being called a king.
00:04:25.760 There's a reason why Herod tried to kill Jesus when he was still just an infant.
00:04:31.180 Not because merely a Messiah had been born, but a king had been born.
00:04:38.400 Herod understood more about the coming of Christ and what it meant than Russell Moore does.
00:04:47.660 Herod knew that the coming of Jesus didn't just mean that people would worship him privately
00:04:53.940 in their sweet, precious little hearts in the 17th dimension.
00:04:58.140 Herod knew that Jesus coming to earth, not only as spiritual Messiah, but as earthly, literal king,
00:05:05.160 that what this meant was that eventually all the kings of the earth would be subdued by him
00:05:11.740 and subjected to him. He's king of kings, lord of lords. Yeah, they killed Jesus.
00:05:23.340 And the apostles were killed as well. And Christians were drawn and quartered, some sawn
00:05:29.820 and two, beheaded, even crucified, upside down, thrown into the lion's den before lions 0.71
00:05:37.260 in the Colosseum.
00:05:38.280 All these things were done in the first century.
00:05:44.580 And some of these things are still done to this day, but not like the first century.
00:05:52.920 To pretend that things have not changed is naive.
00:05:56.940 to say we lose down here
00:06:01.460 from a microphone
00:06:03.680 while being recorded with video
00:06:06.440 piped to millions of people
00:06:09.900 on the other side of the planet
00:06:11.880 who are being converted by the Spirit of God
00:06:14.420 is such a thick irony.
00:06:17.060 I can't even begin to put it into words.
00:06:26.940 To lose as you've written commentaries that millions of people have read.
00:06:34.080 As you have a showdown with the governor of your state and win.
00:06:39.660 I pray that if God would be so gracious that he might enable me to lose half as well as MacArthur.
00:06:48.020 Incredible losing.
00:06:49.740 I would love to lose like that.
00:06:51.180 no we win we win the world is changing and it's not all for the worse some of us will lose our
00:07:07.980 lives some of us may be martyred some of us may be thrown in prison and we may not see
00:07:14.220 all the particular victories in particular battles that we'd like to see in our lifetime
00:07:19.960 But the gospel continues to pervade.
00:07:25.320 The crown rights of King Jesus are continually pressed forth over all the earth.
00:07:34.920 Jesus has enemies.
00:07:38.060 But one by one, they're being subjected as a footstool under his feet.
00:07:45.020 Many of his enemies have already been conquered.
00:07:47.740 and many more are still left to be conquered god is for us that is not a question that's left
00:07:57.740 open-ended in our text today but the question that each of us must answer is whether or not we're for
00:08:05.400 him fight by flight why leaving godless places is loving godless places i've had a lot of people
00:08:15.120 tell me recently pastor joel you're post-millennial you claim to believe that jesus is king of every
00:08:22.160 square inch but apparently you don't think he's king of california because i've heard your personal
00:08:27.020 story that you used to be a pastor there and that you left for the state of texas notice the title
00:08:33.680 not fight or flight but fight by flight think of the prodigal son he comes to the end of his rope
00:08:41.820 he's longing to be fed with the pods given to the pigs and the parable says no one gave him
00:08:48.540 anything no member of the father's house tracked him down to give him a handout he was hurting 0.91
00:08:55.500 he had to lie in the bed that he had made for himself by his foolish choices you know what
00:09:02.460 the next words in that parable are no one gave him anything and he came to his senses he began
00:09:09.300 to repent there are 10 million professing christians currently living in the state of
00:09:14.780 california what if they're fighting but at the same time while well-intentioned they're also
00:09:21.540 funding what if california could be brought to its knees simply by the faithful not fighting there
00:09:28.840 but leaving there and forcing gavin newsom and other tyrants like him to actually have to
00:09:36.020 take a spoonful of their own medicine the book has been forwarded by douglas wilson it's been
00:09:43.100 endorsed by michael foster it's good to be a man also meg basham the daily wire and steve days
