00:00:00.600 Join Douglas Wilson, Dr. Joseph Boot, Brian Sauve, Eric Kahn, and myself on March 1st,
00:00:07.260 2nd, and 3rd for our 2024 conference. It's called Blueprints for Chrysidom 2.0.
00:00:13.960 Our early bird pricing ends on Thursday, August 31st. So go and visit
00:00:19.620 rightresponseconference.com to register today. We hope to see you at the conference in March.
00:00:25.600 athanasius once said it is athanasius against the world and the world is against athanasius
00:00:37.520 but in his case and as it is with ours brothers and sisters it still actually was not a fair
00:00:45.100 fight because athanasius plus god is superior infinitely so to the entire world better to be
00:00:55.520 you and Jesus and nobody else against the whole world than to unite with the whole world against
00:01:03.760 the triune God and the truth of his word. Let God be true and every man a liar. His word does not
00:01:12.760 change based off of what time it is, based off what generation it is, based off of culture or time
00:01:20.320 or place. God's word is eternal, immutable, and inerrant. He has set up patterns for living in
00:01:28.700 his world. They are good, and we shall not be embarrassed by them. And someone always has to be
00:01:37.740 first. They don't kill the prophets for being right, because later on, the rightness of the
00:01:46.700 prophet's message is received by the majority. And the people as a whole are blessed because of it.
00:01:55.000 But the initial prophet is killed not for being right, but for being first. But nothing changes
00:02:00.920 in this world if someone's not willing to be first. And so I charge you, brothers and sisters,
00:02:11.120 and members of Covenant Bible Church.
00:02:13.060 Be willing.
00:02:14.640 We're not all going to do it in the same way.
00:02:16.940 We haven't all been given the same station in life,
00:02:19.400 the same vocation, the same influence,
00:02:21.420 the same platform.
00:02:22.400 That's fine.
00:02:23.080 But in your little neck of the woods,
00:02:26.240 in whatever vocation,
00:02:27.740 whatever influence the Lord and his providence
00:02:30.060 has chosen to assign to you,
00:02:33.620 be courageous.
00:02:35.960 Speak the truth.
00:02:37.860 Don't wait for someone else
00:02:39.860 to push back against clown world to make all of a sudden a biblical narrative popular
00:02:47.320 and acceptable and then run out in front of the conservative parade and pretend as though you
00:02:54.040 engineered it. Don't be a hypocrite. Be willing to say the truth in season and out of season. 1.00
00:03:03.100 John Bunyan, a late great Baptist Puritan in Pilgrim's Progress, he describes a man, Mr. Buy-ins. 0.68
00:03:12.780 Mr. Buy-ins is a man who says, I love to walk with religion in times when she is wearing her
00:03:21.640 glass slippers and dressed in royal robes. But when religion is impoverished and embarrassed,
00:03:33.900 well, why go upstream? Why not just sit on the side and wait for the currents to change? And 0.98
00:03:42.920 when it becomes acceptable again, when it becomes popular again, when religion is once again seemed
00:03:49.380 as virtuous by the public as a whole then once again i will be pleased and honored to walk hand
00:03:55.720 in hand with religion in the streets when she again is gowned in majesty and splendor and
00:04:02.980 christian says to mr buy-ins he said you're not a follower of jesus essentially i'm paraphrasing
00:04:09.920 that's not what a follower of jesus does he's not a buy-ins kind of person he's not a fair
00:04:15.600 weathered fan. The fair weathered fan is the one that Jesus says on that final day, I will say of
00:04:24.160 you, you are ashamed of me. I am ashamed of you. Depart from me, you workers of iniquity. I never
00:04:32.720 knew you. One of the tests, if you're wanting to grow, not just encourage, but grow in assurance
00:04:40.360 of salvation that you truly have been born again that Christ really is on your side just like
00:04:46.020 Joshua came to the protection and defense of Gibeon if you want to know do I belong to Christ
00:04:51.700 do I have that covenant with him do I have his full assurance do I have his full affection do I
00:04:58.300 have all of his salvation and all the benefits of his covenant that he promises to provide
00:05:03.940 am I his elect? Am I included in his mercy? One of the ways to know,
00:05:10.640 to be powerfully assured that you indeed are in covenant with Christ and he is in covenant with
00:05:17.340 you, that you belong to him, is to not be a fair-weathered friend, to not be ashamed of him
00:05:25.380 when many others, even those who bear his name, are ashamed.
