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.

00:00:00.000 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:02.060 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry because you're spending your
00:00:05.880 cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:10.680 Praise God for you and that endeavor.
00:00:13.800 However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16.340 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing.
00:00:18.540 And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24.120 that doesn't cost you a dime
00:00:25.840 is by spending just a few moments
00:00:28.180 leaving us a five-star review.
00:00:31.280 Also, perhaps even more effective than that,
00:00:34.080 you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36.520 We hope you'll take the time to do so.
00:00:38.440 Thank you so much.
00:00:39.700 God bless.
00:00:42.200 Jesus said,
00:00:43.340 man cannot live on bread alone,
00:00:44.980 but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:47.840 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:52.200 Now, I don't think, for the record,
00:00:54.120 i don't think that what the apostle is saying is there's strange teachings going around
00:00:58.120 that that if you eat vegetables it'll be good for your digestion
00:01:04.780 god's bogus it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace
00:01:10.940 i don't think that's what he's saying so i don't think he's knocking health which to be honest i
00:01:16.800 mean if i was just going to lean into my personal bias then i would love to use verse nine as an
00:01:22.300 example you know as a platform to you know to make fun of vegans and you know all those kinds
00:01:27.240 of things which i think that's a perfect example where that that that tone of christ mockery
00:01:32.200 vegans are a great who to fill in the you know kind of joking kind of not but all that being said
00:01:37.900 the point is i don't think what the apostles is getting at is that health isn't a thing in the
00:01:43.500 mind of god think of what the apostle paul says elsewhere he says that physical training is of
00:01:51.340 some value but spiritual training is of infinite value
00:01:57.180 have you ever heard the the expression moderation is for cowards
00:02:03.360 right that that's the tattoo that you get when you're 20 0.96
00:02:08.280 it's just it sounds great but it's it's it's wrong right that's foolish moderation is for
00:02:18.960 count? What? I mean, all it takes is just a little bit of thought, you know, and you're able to work
00:02:23.480 past that one. And what I mean is that sentiment is basically saying that in terms of prioritization
00:02:32.620 of our effort, our energy, our time, and our talents, that basically we should only do a few
00:02:38.720 things. And the few things that we determine are worth doing in life, we should do them all the way,
00:02:44.140 and then everything else we shouldn't do at all and that's not actually a biblical concept
00:02:51.940 the bible does not have that worldview the bible doesn't say there are things that are of infinite
00:02:58.580 value you should give yourself entirely to those things and anything that does not have spiritual
00:03:04.060 eternal infinite value has therefore no value at all and shouldn't be done at all that's not what
00:03:10.580 the bible teaches the bible says this body that one day is going to go six feet in the dirt
00:03:16.500 even though it's temporal it will be also resurrected that matters but even though it's
00:03:23.700 going to die it's going to decompose it's it's your temporary uh your your life here on earth
00:03:29.120 in this body in this age this gospel age is temporary and not only temporary but according
00:03:35.060 to multiple other verses in scripture uh it's it's it's just a vapor it's just a moment it's
00:03:41.560 just a breath it's like the dew of the grass it's not just there for a day and gone tomorrow
00:03:45.760 it's there in the morning and gone by lunch that's how temporary but then at the same time
00:03:52.940 the apostle paul says this thing that is so fleeting and so temporary is not of no value
00:04:01.780 it would be so tempting and therefore because it's so temporary it doesn't have any value at all
00:04:06.800 but that's actually not a christian teaching but but a heretical gnostic teaching that views the
00:04:13.200 physical body as though it's actually a prison that's entrapping the soul and that the soul is
00:04:19.380 pure and if it could only get out of this this this prison of the carnal evil physical body
00:04:26.140 that's not a christian worldview that is a pagan worldview that's a gnostic worldview
00:04:34.220 you know the bible actually says spiritual training is is of far more value than physical
00:04:40.100 health but spiritual training being of more value doesn't necessitate that we say physical training
00:04:47.140 is of no value we can we can attribute to physical training some value can i be frank with you for
00:04:55.840 just a second, right here at the end. Look, some of you guys, you're financially supporting this
00:05:00.760 ministry. And from the bottom of my heart, I say, thank you. I cannot thank you enough. However,
00:05:07.600 some of you, you just, you can't afford it. In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it.
00:05:13.940 Let's be honest. I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation and our 0.91
00:05:20.740 totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID. We have
00:05:29.100 written checks that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the definition
00:05:34.980 of a recession. We are living in a recession right now regardless. Some of you are struggling
00:05:41.940 to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store. You cannot support financially this ministry at
00:05:48.960 this time, nor should you, but you could still help us tremendously. I am asking you, please,
00:05:56.380 if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time. Leave us a five-star review on your
00:06:02.600 favorite podcast platform, iTunes, Spotify, whatever that might be. This is the way the
00:06:08.700 system works. We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers. We need to be strategic.
00:06:15.280 You leave us a five-star review, and our podcast shows up for more people.
00:06:20.780 And the Word of God and courageous theology applied in practical ways to every realm of
00:06:27.540 life gets out there.
00:06:29.600 Help us get it out there.
00:06:31.320 Thanks for tuning in.
