00:00:00.000 all right listen guys i get it many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
00:00:04.620 because you're spending your cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and admonition
00:00:09.880 of the lord praise god for you and that endeavor however algorithms are a thing shadow banning
00:00:16.860 sadly is a thing and one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of
00:00:23.380 this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us
00:00:28.880 a five-star review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast
00:00:35.220 with a friend. We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.
00:00:41.620 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of
00:00:46.720 God. You're listening to Daily Truth. We also see that addressing Christ as Lord, Lord,
00:00:55.880 The doubling of a name.
00:00:57.860 This is what Christ does to Martha.
00:01:00.280 Martha, Martha, you are busy about many things.
00:01:04.220 The doubling of a name in that culture
00:01:05.920 is a sign or a term of endearment.
00:01:09.640 It's an affectionate and compassionate way
00:01:11.980 to address someone.
00:01:13.540 Lord, Lord, it is to say,
00:01:15.800 I love you, Lord.
00:01:17.400 I have intimate relationship with you, Lord.
00:01:22.020 And yet, He will say to many,
00:01:24.020 depart from Me.
00:01:25.340 you workers of iniquity, not that I once knew you, but that you walked away and I therefore
00:01:32.380 know you no longer. But rather, he will say, you workers of iniquity, depart from me. I never knew
00:01:39.760 you. I never knew you. You are now here claiming to know me and not just to know of me, Lord,
00:01:46.940 but to know me intimately in relationship,
00:01:51.380 Lord, Lord.
00:01:53.240 And yet, relationship,
00:01:55.100 if it is to be legitimate,
00:01:56.940 is a two-way street.
00:01:58.640 And you may claim to have
00:02:00.220 intimate relationship with me,
00:02:02.320 but I don't even know who you are.
00:02:05.140 And I don't think that what Jesus is getting at
00:02:07.440 in Matthew 7,
00:02:09.020 that many will do this,
00:02:11.020 is to say that the church will comprise
00:02:14.320 10% of humanity.
00:02:16.640 And then out of that 10% of humanity,
00:02:19.180 which is already the vast minority,
00:02:21.840 that another 90% of the 10%
00:02:25.120 will be mere professors saying,
00:02:27.740 Lord, Lord, but ultimately told by Christ
00:02:30.120 in the end to depart.
00:02:31.880 So that we're left in terms of true salvation,
00:02:35.040 those who truly belong to Christ,
00:02:36.840 that we're left with 1% of the bulk of humanity.
00:02:40.120 I don't think that that's what he's getting at.
00:02:41.880 I think that part of what Christ is getting at
00:02:44.080 in Matthew 7,
00:02:45.020 when he says many will say to me
00:02:47.720 is that he's saying that by the end of the age
00:02:51.020 that the Christian Gospel will have been so potent
00:02:54.340 and so effective
00:02:56.100 that the vast majority of humanity
00:02:59.160 will in fact confess Christ.
00:03:03.340 That the vast majority of humanity 0.98
00:03:05.160 will at least by mere profession
00:03:07.760 claim to be a follower of Jesus.
00:03:11.300 And we have seen this
00:03:12.420 even the past 2,000 years of church history in various cultures and at various times.
00:03:18.180 There are times where Christianity has been on the rise to such a degree
00:03:25.060 that it actually benefits, it practically, tangibly benefits a person to claim to be a Christian.
00:03:34.180 There has been a time in our own nation's history, not that long ago,
00:03:38.360 not centuries but mere decades where it would serve you well to go to a church regularly on
00:03:47.500 the Lord's Day to have your name on the roster to profess to be a Christian it would give you
00:03:53.960 certain business opportunities even financial incentives that you would not have otherwise
00:04:00.200 why because in our own nation there has been a time where the culture predominantly was
00:04:08.680 christian and we have to be able to distinguish between a nation having a predominant culture
00:04:16.740 of christianity and actual ultimate genuine salvation can i be frank with you for just a
00:04:25.360 second, right here at the end. Look, some of you guys, you're financially supporting this ministry
00:04:30.360 and from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you. I cannot thank you enough. However, some of you,
00:04:37.400 you just, you can't afford it. In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it. Let's be honest.
00:04:44.440 I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation and our totalitarian political 0.94
00:04:51.940 elites lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID. We have written checks that we
00:04:59.740 simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the definition of a recession. We are
00:05:06.000 living in a recession right now regardless. Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs
00:05:13.260 at the grocery store. You cannot support financially this ministry at this time, nor should
00:05:19.760 you, but you could still help us tremendously. I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so,
00:05:27.080 take one minute of your time. Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform,
00:05:33.840 iTunes, Spotify, whatever that might be. This is the way the system works. We want to be
00:05:39.580 innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers. We need to be strategic. You leave us a five-star review
00:05:46.520 and our podcast shows up for more people.
00:05:49.980 And the word of God and courageous theology
00:05:53.280 applied in practical ways to every realm of life
00:05:57.100 gets out there.
00:05:58.800 Help us get it out there.
00:06:00.500 Thanks for tuning in.
