The NXR Podcast - DAILY TRUTH - The #1 Most Misinterpreted Teaching In The Bible!

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 is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star review. Also,

00:00:31.860 perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend. We hope you'll

00:00:37.060 take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless. Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone,

00:00:44.980 but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. You're listening to Daily Truth.

00:00:49.780 what's the number one word used by jesus to describe the religious rulers of his day

00:00:58.340 hypocrite not now this is where evangelicals will lose their mind okay so just i'm trigger warning

00:01:07.440 it's going to be hard for some of you the number one word that jesus uses to describe

00:01:14.440 the religious rulers of his day is not legalism he doesn't say you legalist you tell people that

00:01:23.940 obedience in in every realm of life is something that god requires jesus never contest that concept

00:01:33.760 he never says they're legalists that tell people they need to work hard to seek to be obedient

00:01:41.680 to god that's not jesus beef with the pharisees his beef is you hypocrites meaning what what what

00:01:50.420 is the logical conclusion what's the simple implication of that statement it means the

00:01:56.200 pharisees teaching sometimes it's strange and diverse sometimes it's off but a lot of times

00:02:02.640 it's right and the problem with the pharisees is not that they tell people that obedience matters

00:02:09.600 the problem with the pharisees is that they tell people obedience matters but personally they don't

00:02:15.300 do it they don't obey now think of the average evangelical today what what do they think when

00:02:22.500 they think who's the bad guy who's the bad guy well the bad guy is the pharisee and what well

00:02:28.500 that's true they were the bad guys but then the question is what what was the quintessential

00:02:33.600 characteristic and mark of a pharisee well ask the average evangelical and they'll say well the

00:02:39.140 mark of a pharisee is is that they um they cared about obedience the mark of a pharisee is is that

00:02:47.340 they said god had a law and that people should follow it that's mean no no the mark of a pharisee

00:02:56.340 is it about 90 of the time their teaching was true the problem is that they were hypocrites

00:03:03.280 and did not actually follow their own doctrine i mean jesus even says when it comes to tithing

00:03:09.620 think about this for a second jesus says you have heard the pharisees they they tithe down

00:03:15.020 to 10 of their dill and spice right so that the pharisees and scribes they're taking their spices

00:03:24.020 in their spice cabinet they're taking cumin they're taking paprika and they're drawing out

00:03:30.260 lines on the counter and and measuring it with a ruler and cutting off 10 percent and bringing it

00:03:37.400 to the synagogue and and you expect jesus is going to say isn't that legalistic doesn't say that

00:03:43.900 he says but they've neglected the weightier matters of justice and mercy and then jesus

00:03:51.900 literally says you should do the former that thing isn't legalistic they're actually right

00:03:58.420 and you should do it too but don't be like the pharisees and do the other stuff also

00:04:04.300 so do this little thing jesus said this is a little thing and it doesn't matter

00:04:08.560 and god's law is really up for grabs and it's subjective and it's interpretation and

00:04:12.500 you know to each his own just follow jesus and whatever you think god might be leading you to

00:04:17.540 do you know and it's just live your truth man said jesus never that's not what he says he says

00:04:25.280 this seemingly little thing, he doesn't condemn it. He says, you should do this little thing too.

00:04:32.120 But don't you dare do a little thing at the expense of the big thing.

00:04:36.560 Can I be frank with you for just a second right here at the end? Look, some of you guys,

00:04:41.120 you're financially supporting this ministry. And from the bottom of my heart, I say, thank you.

00:04:46.200 I cannot thank you enough. However, some of you, you just, you can't afford it. In fact,

00:04:53.240 some of you, you shouldn't afford it. Let's be honest. I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's

00:04:58.900 ridiculous economy. Our nation and our totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last

00:05:07.920 three years due to COVID. We have written checks that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if

00:05:15.320 people change the definition of a recession. We are living in a recession right now, regardless.

00:05:22.440 Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store.

00:05:27.060 You cannot support financially this ministry at this time, nor should you.

00:05:33.320 But you could still help us tremendously.

00:05:36.120 I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time.

00:05:42.040 Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, iTunes, Spotify, whatever that might be.

00:05:49.440 This is the way the system works.

00:05:51.180 We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers.

00:05:55.740 We need to be strategic.

00:05:57.580 You leave us a five-star review, and our podcast shows up for more people.

00:06:02.580 And the Word of God and courageous theology applied in practical ways to every realm of

00:06:09.340 life gets out there.

00:06:11.420 Help us get it out there.

00:06:13.100 Thanks for tuning in.
