In this episode of Daily Truth, Pastor Ken continues his series on the Apostle Paul and the role of the physical body in the mind of God, and how it relates to spiritual training. In this episode, God is not calling us to a physical body, but to a spiritual one, and the Bible teaches that physical training is of infinite value, but that spiritual training is not.

00:00:00 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:02 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry because you're spending your
00:00:05 cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:10 Praise God for you and that endeavor.
00:00:13 However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing.
00:00:18 And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24 that doesn't cost you a dime
00:00:25 is by spending just a few moments
00:00:28 leaving us a five-star review.
00:00:31 Also, perhaps even more effective than that,
00:00:34 you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36 We hope you'll take the time to do so.
00:00:38 Thank you so much.
00:00:39 God bless.
00:00:42 Jesus said,
00:00:43 man cannot live on bread alone,
00:00:44 but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:47 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:52 Now, I don't think, for the record,
00:00:54 i don't think that what the apostle is saying is there's strange teachings going around
00:00:58 that that if you eat vegetables it'll be good for your digestion
00:01:04 god's bogus it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace
00:01:10 i don't think that's what he's saying so i don't think he's knocking health which to be honest i
00:01:16 mean if i was just going to lean into my personal bias then i would love to use verse nine as an
00:01:22 example you know as a platform to you know to make fun of vegans and you know all those kinds
00:01:27 of things which i think that's a perfect example where that that that tone of christ mockery
00:01:32 vegans are a great who to fill in the you know kind of joking kind of not but all that being said
00:01:37 the point is i don't think what the apostles is getting at is that health isn't a thing in the
00:01:43 mind of god think of what the apostle paul says elsewhere he says that physical training is of
00:01:51 some value but spiritual training is of infinite value
00:01:57 have you ever heard the the expression moderation is for cowards
00:02:03 right that that's the tattoo that you get when you're 20 0.96
00:02:08 it's just it sounds great but it's it's it's wrong right that's foolish moderation is for
00:02:18 count? What? I mean, all it takes is just a little bit of thought, you know, and you're able to work
00:02:23 past that one. And what I mean is that sentiment is basically saying that in terms of prioritization
00:02:32 of our effort, our energy, our time, and our talents, that basically we should only do a few
00:02:38 things. And the few things that we determine are worth doing in life, we should do them all the way,
00:02:44 and then everything else we shouldn't do at all and that's not actually a biblical concept
00:02:51 the bible does not have that worldview the bible doesn't say there are things that are of infinite
00:02:58 value you should give yourself entirely to those things and anything that does not have spiritual
00:03:04 eternal infinite value has therefore no value at all and shouldn't be done at all that's not what
00:03:10 the bible teaches the bible says this body that one day is going to go six feet in the dirt
00:03:16 even though it's temporal it will be also resurrected that matters but even though it's
00:03:23 going to die it's going to decompose it's it's your temporary uh your your life here on earth
00:03:29 in this body in this age this gospel age is temporary and not only temporary but according
00:03:35 to multiple other verses in scripture uh it's it's it's just a vapor it's just a moment it's
00:03:41 just a breath it's like the dew of the grass it's not just there for a day and gone tomorrow
00:03:45 it's there in the morning and gone by lunch that's how temporary but then at the same time
00:03:52 the apostle paul says this thing that is so fleeting and so temporary is not of no value
00:04:01 it would be so tempting and therefore because it's so temporary it doesn't have any value at all
00:04:06 but that's actually not a christian teaching but but a heretical gnostic teaching that views the
00:04:13 physical body as though it's actually a prison that's entrapping the soul and that the soul is
00:04:19 pure and if it could only get out of this this this prison of the carnal evil physical body
00:04:26 that's not a christian worldview that is a pagan worldview that's a gnostic worldview
00:04:34 you know the bible actually says spiritual training is is of far more value than physical
00:04:40 health but spiritual training being of more value doesn't necessitate that we say physical training
00:04:47 is of no value we can we can attribute to physical training some value can i be frank with you for
00:04:55 just a second, right here at the end. Look, some of you guys, you're financially supporting this
00:05:00 ministry. And from the bottom of my heart, I say, thank you. I cannot thank you enough. However,
00:05:07 some of you, you just, you can't afford it. In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it.
00:05:13 Let's be honest. I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation and our 0.91
00:05:20 totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID. We have
00:05:29 written checks that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the definition
00:05:34 of a recession. We are living in a recession right now regardless. Some of you are struggling
00:05:41 to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store. You cannot support financially this ministry at
00:05:48 this time, nor should you, but you could still help us tremendously. I am asking you, please,
00:05:56 if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time. Leave us a five-star review on your
00:06:02 favorite podcast platform, iTunes, Spotify, whatever that might be. This is the way the
00:06:08 system works. We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers. We need to be strategic.
00:06:15 You leave us a five-star review, and our podcast shows up for more people.
00:06:20 And the Word of God and courageous theology applied in practical ways to every realm of
00:06:27 life gets out there.
00:06:29 Help us get it out there.
00:06:31 Thanks for tuning in.
