00:00:00 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:01 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
00:00:04 because you're spending your cash and your lives
00:00:06 on raising young children
00:00:08 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
00:00:21 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. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share
00:00:34 our podcast with a friend. We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.
00:00:41 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the
00:00:46 mouth of God. You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:52 First and foremost, what we'll see in the sermon today is that there are many who claim to be
00:00:57 victims in our culture who are not. They are victims of once having a bad day. And even the
00:01:03 bad day that they experienced is relative. Whether or not it's actually a bad day, everybody in our
00:01:13 culture seems to claim victim status. Everybody in our culture seems to find some way to spin
00:01:18 some narrative to claim that they've been mistreated, to claim that they've been oppressed.
00:01:26 We do this in our culture today because we want power.
00:01:30 We want power.
00:01:31 And in our culture, we have devised schemes of somehow proving to the culture at large, to society, that we've been mistreated, that we've been oppressed.
00:01:43 And if we can prove that, if we can spin that narrative and get others to accept it as true, then we are granted a certain measure of influence, a certain measure of power.
00:01:54 this is what intersectionality is all about it's it's seeing how many minority statuses we can
00:02:03 claim right that if you're a white male and you're heterosexual you're in trouble
00:02:09 right but if if you're black well you have some status if you're a black man that's one thing but 0.98
00:02:18 But if you're a black woman, then you have more status, more influence, more power. 1.00
00:02:24 If you're a black woman in a wheelchair, it's a force to be reckoned with. 0.99
00:02:29 If you're a black man in a wheelchair who cross-dresses and calls himself a woman, a.k.a. transgender, you have all the power in the world. 1.00
00:02:40 You might as well be a czar, a sultan, a king. 0.97
00:02:46 You can be on late night talk shows, and everybody has to listen to what you say.
00:02:50 Even if you speak about things that you have no knowledge about, it doesn't matter.
00:02:53 Research, hard work, diligent study, not necessary.
00:02:58 You have a unique oppressed position and opinion, and who is anybody else to disagree?
00:03:06 That's the culture that we live in today.
00:03:07 So, first and foremost, probably just about anyone in this room is not a victim.
00:03:17 So, the first thing that we should do as Christians, as followers of Jesus, when we feel as though we're victimized, is we should remind ourselves that we're probably not.
00:03:25 That's the first step.
00:03:26 The second step is as we consider our alleged oppression, as we consider our alleged mistreatment, we should consider it by the eternal and perfect standard of God's word.
00:03:40 we should consider it not based off of these fleeting flawed standards of our culture today
00:03:49 not by our own personal self-absorbed standard but rather by the unchanging perfect righteous
00:03:55 standard of god's word by god's word by god's standard have i truly been mistreated and if so
00:04:03 the first thing that we should consider is can i let it go the proverb said that it's a man's glory
00:04:10 to overlook an offense.
00:04:12 So the first thing that we should consider is,
00:04:14 can I let it go?
00:04:16 1 Corinthians chapter 6, the Apostle Paul,
00:04:18 he says, why not rather be wronged?
00:04:21 Can I let it go?
00:04:23 So one, am I actually oppressed?
00:04:26 Probably not, I'll save you the time,
00:04:28 but feel free to do the biblical homework
00:04:30 to see if you are.
00:04:31 And if you are, the next thing,
00:04:33 the second step is, can I let it go?
00:04:36 The third step is,
00:04:38 if you truly are oppressed,
00:04:39 and is something that you believe in seeking counsel from your elders and deacons
00:04:44 and other mature believers in Christ,
00:04:45 something that you believe you should not let go,
00:04:49 then the next question is,
00:04:51 how do I pursue justice in this circumstance
00:04:54 while maintaining a humble, self-sacrificing, honoring attitude?
00:05:04 Now, as a very important pastoral disclaimer,
00:05:08 please do not miss this.
00:05:09 there is real suffering in this world and there are times when that suffering should not be passed
00:05:16 over where an offense is something that you should not let go and there are certain practical steps
00:05:22 that are righteous and biblically sound that you should pursue so listen to me as i read this from
00:05:30 your notes if you're being sexually or physically abused you must immediately seek outside help
00:05:36 while it is still necessary for you to apply the principles found in our text today regarding your
00:05:41 attitude the elders and deacons of our church do not want you to mistakenly think that god requires
00:05:48 you to endure such abuse passively a sexual offender or a physically violent abuser should
00:05:56 be brought under both church discipline for their sins and the consequences of the law for their
00:06:03 crimes. Do not miss that. The elders and deacons of this church, as I speak about what it is to
00:06:12 suffer well, because I believe that's one of the main points that we see in our text, what it is
00:06:18 to have a Christian posture, a Christian attitude, what it is to suffer humbly, to suffer well when
00:06:24 you are genuinely being mistreated, when your circumstances truly are unjust. As I preach this
00:06:31 sermon, do not miss that disclaimer. You can suffer well with your Christian posture, with 1.00
00:06:37 the posture of your heart, with your attitude, while also calling the police. These are not 0.61
00:06:44 pitted against one another. It's not either or, it's both and. And specifically, when
00:06:51 we think of oppression, if the alleged oppression that you are experiencing falls anywhere near
00:06:59 the category of sexual or physical abuse, then you need to call the elders of this church
00:07:06 and the police. Thanks so much for listening. But real quick, before you go, do us a small favor,
00:07:12 take a moment, and leave us a five-star review if you enjoyed the show. This is undoubtedly
00:07:18 the best way that you can help us get this biblically faithful content
00:07:22 to as many people as possible. Thanks so much.
