00:00:43.180 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the
00:00:47.980 mouth of God.
00:00:49.000 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:53.400 What is it to love from a pure heart?
00:00:55.400 a pure heart cares in its inner being in your heart of hearts it loves others more than self
00:01:06.000 and i believe that one of the biggest dangers in light of everything that i've been saying
00:01:11.340 thus far this morning one of the biggest dangers is i think a lot of this is coming from an absence
00:01:16.060 of love and there's an absence of love because there's an absence of a pure heart see some of us
00:01:22.480 We love being liked by others more than we love others.
00:01:27.860 I'm going to say that again.
00:01:28.820 You need to hear that.
00:01:29.840 There is a difference between loving being liked by others versus loving others.
00:01:36.660 Only when we actually love others more than being liked by others,
00:01:42.940 are we willing to do what Paul tells Timothy to do in verse 3 of our text,
00:01:47.040 which is to confront others.
00:01:49.580 part of the reason why these different doctrines are being peddled and they keep going and keep
00:01:56.700 going it's like how come it hasn't stopped yet part of the reason it hasn't stopped is a lack
00:02:02.860 of confrontation and there's a lack of confrontation because there's a lack of a pure heart
00:02:06.940 because we have individuals who care more about their approval ratings from others
00:02:11.700 than actually loving others knowing that genuine love for others is a sacrificial love
00:02:18.260 Genuine love for others.
00:02:19.700 When we're truly loving others,
00:02:21.500 it often comes at the cost of ourselves.
00:02:25.620 As I sought to genuinely love others,
00:02:29.980 other pastors and other people over the last year,
00:02:34.780 it came at a great cost to me personally.
00:02:39.200 I was falsely accused.
00:02:42.460 I lost friendships.
00:02:45.120 I've been gossiped about.
00:02:47.440 but when you have a pure heart,
00:02:52.240 not to say that my heart is perfectly pure,
00:02:54.520 but by God's grace and through sanctification,
00:02:56.660 as you come to love the glory of God,
00:02:58.940 as you come to care,
00:03:00.260 and this is only a testimony to the grace and power of God,
00:03:04.080 but when a man or a woman comes to care more
00:03:06.720 about the glory that comes from God
00:03:08.580 than the glory that comes from men,
00:03:10.220 when a man comes to the point where he cares more
00:03:12.340 about the approval of his heavenly father
00:03:14.560 than the approval of men,
00:03:16.560 then he's willing to love other men even knowing that it may cause some of those people to reject
00:03:24.000 him some of you there are there are tangible and clear ways that you could be loving someone in
00:03:30.560 your life right now and you know what i'm talking about but you're not willing to do it because you
00:03:35.520 know that you will run the risk of them rejecting you the fear of rejection is powerful and i know
00:03:41.960 I know
00:03:43.980 I've struggled with the fear of man my whole life
00:03:48.420 for those of you who don't know
00:03:52.160 I was adopted at a young age
00:03:54.300 which is wonderful
00:03:56.100 but for someone to choose you
00:03:59.240 it necessitates that another set of parents
00:04:01.740 rejected you
00:04:02.900 someone didn't want me
00:04:05.280 and I'm not trying to play the victim card 0.71
00:04:07.960 that would be pretty hypocritical
00:04:09.980 based off everything I've preached so far
00:04:12.420 But what I'm saying is that I know what rejection feels like.
00:04:17.220 And I'm not saying that I know that in a way that's exclusive to where none of you can know that
00:04:21.840 from standpoint epistemology and I have this special view and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
00:04:26.320 because I belong to this new intersectionality of adoption group identity.
00:04:32.600 Although it's tempting to play it because I'd have more power.
00:04:37.120 It's working right now in the church.
00:04:41.900 I know what it's like to be rejected.
00:04:46.480 And you may not have been adopted,
00:04:47.940 but you know what it's like to be rejected.
00:04:50.040 Whether it was a set of parents giving you up
00:04:51.940 or whether it was the first time you got pushed down
00:04:55.300 on the playground and somebody laughed.
00:04:57.620 Whatever it was, we're afraid of rejection.
00:05:00.760 Rejection hurts.
00:05:04.300 But ultimately, that's self-preservation.
00:05:08.120 It's the love of self.
00:05:09.360 and if your fear of rejection your your desire to self-preserve is more profound and stronger
00:05:17.080 than your desire to warn someone who may reject you but who needs that warning because they're
00:05:21.880 heading towards death then ultimately we can make it as nuanced as we want but it's this simple
00:05:27.260 you love yourself more than them you're not loving from a pure heart thanks so much for listening
00:05:33.940 but real quick, before you go, do us a small favor, take a moment, and leave us a five-star
00:05:39.420 review if you enjoyed the show. This is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us get this
00:05:45.260 biblically faithful content to as many people as possible. Thanks so much.
