00:00:00 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:01 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.
00:00:19 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 is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star
00:00:29 review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36 We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.
00:00:59 from a particular vocation, but you don't ever retire from productivity. The last years of your
00:01:10 life are the years where you have acquired the most wisdom, the most experience, and you don't
00:01:17 have the physical strength anymore. You know, and that's so gracious on God's part. You think about
00:01:22 the way he designed the cycle of human life. You know what me and my wife need right now?
00:01:28 we need spiritual wisdom but we also really need physical energy
00:01:33 we need a lot of physical energy with four little ones in our home five and under now when our
00:01:42 children are older i won't need that much energy i could be in a wheelchair i'd like to not be but
00:01:47 i could be but you know what what my kids will need then they're going to need like if i have
00:01:53 a wheelchair they're going to need me to shave my head and have like some professor xavier wisdom
00:01:57 to offer. You know what I mean? I don't necessarily have to run around and roll on the floor as much 1.00
00:02:02 as I used to, but I better have some answers to some of the tough questions in life.
00:02:09 Well, so too, for some of you, more seasoned saints would be the euphemism. It's true, though.
00:02:16 Seasoned saints is a nice way to put it. It's a true way to put it. Some of you, it's not just
00:02:21 a spiritual discipleship and spiritually speaking, warring against sin, but it's also practically,
00:02:26 you know how to budget a checkbook. A lot of young people today don't.
00:02:36 I mean, that's always been a problem with young people, not particularly wise with money, but
00:02:39 especially in this current generation. Some of you, you know how to invest. Some of you know how to
00:02:49 buy land and maintain it. Some of you, you have kids, but you've raised them. Your youngest is
00:02:57 20, where somebody else, their oldest is three. And you have some of that time and that wisdom
00:03:04 that you can come. And instead of just enjoying the rest, because guess what? We're going to enjoy
00:03:08 the rest. The church triumphant, that comes. It does come, but it's not here yet. You're not dead
00:03:17 yet, praise God. And I think of the apostle Paul, where he's hard pressed, he says, between the two
00:03:23 options. And he's being facetious in his language. He knows that the options aren't his, but ultimately
00:03:29 the Lord and his sovereignty, God will decide. But he says, if I remain in the body, then that means
00:03:36 fruitful labor for me. And it's better for your sake, church. But if I die, then to be absent in
00:03:43 the body is to be present with the lord which is far better what paul is essentially saying is this
00:03:50 if i die i'll be with jesus and that's my choice that is the best but if i live it means fruitful
00:03:59 language it's flowery pretty language but what he's saying is this if i'm alive as long as i'm
00:04:05 alive down to the very end until the final bell rings as long as i'm living fruitful labor it's
00:04:12 just another way of saying if i'm alive it means work it means work and if i work that's good for
00:04:18 you you guys want me to be alive because it's not going to be work for myself it's going to be work 0.97
00:04:22 for you so if i'm alive i'm going to keep working to help out some of you crazy immature christians 0.98
00:04:29 that need some help you know and he's saying it nicely but but if i die that would be really great 0.93
00:04:36 because it's a lot of work and i've been doing it for quite a while and i'm starting to get a
00:04:43 little tired but the principle there it's it's just as plain what i've been saying all along
00:04:48 that's just another biblical example paul is saying it is to the younger less mature christians
00:04:55 benefit that the more seasoned saint like paul that his life continue a little longer because
00:05:01 as long as he is in that life, as long as we are in this life, it means rest. Not in the truest
00:05:09 sense. Everything we do comes from rest and faith in Christ and the finished work of the gospel,
00:05:16 but in the very same breath, the Christian life, as long as we're living here on earth, means
00:05:21 work. The church triumphant, true and final rest, heaven. The church militant, that's the church
00:05:31 on earth. That's the church alive. Can I be frank with you for just a second right here at the end?
00:05:38 Look, some of you guys, you're financially supporting this ministry, and from the bottom
00:05:42 of my heart, I say thank you. I cannot thank you enough. However, some of you, you just,
00:05:49 you can't afford it. In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it. Let's be honest. I mean,
00:05:55 we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation and our totalitarian political elites 0.98
00:06:03 lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID. We have written checks that we simply
00:06:11 cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the definition of a recession. We are living in
00:06:17 a recession right now regardless. Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the
00:06:24 grocery store. You cannot support financially this ministry at this time, nor should you,
00:06:31 but you could still help us tremendously. I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so,
00:06:37 take one minute of your time. Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform,
00:06:44 iTunes, Spotify, whatever that might be. This is the way the system works. We want to be
00:06:50 innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers. We need to be strategic. You leave us a five-star review
00:06:57 and our podcast shows up for more people. And the Word of God and courageous theology applied
00:07:05 in practical ways to every realm of life gets out there. Help us get it out there. Thanks for tuning in.
