00:00:00.000 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold it. Big announcement, a scary announcement, a threat,
00:00:06.140 but also a promise. The price of our conference, the post-millennial and theonomy conference,
00:00:11.160 it's going up. It's going up right after Reformation Day. We are going to hold the
00:00:16.060 price at $100, which is super cheap for a three-day conference with Dr. James White, Dr. Joseph Boot,
00:00:21.740 Dr. Gary DeMar, and the guy who's not a doctor, so we'll say Pastor Joel Webin. We've got a great
00:00:27.020 conference, May 5th, 6th, and 7th in Georgetown, Texas, just north of Austin for a hundred bucks,
00:00:33.460 super cheap, but we can't hold that price forever. So if you want to get into that price,
00:00:38.760 you got to get in now, right after Reformation Day, not Halloween, Reformation Day, October 31st.
00:00:44.640 That's the last day that you can get in this conference, register at the price of a hundred
00:00:49.340 bucks. After that, starting November 1st, it's going to be 130. So go to rightresponseconference.com,
00:00:56.300 writeresponseconference.com and register today. Thanks.
00:01:02.260 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of
00:01:07.460 God. You're listening to Daily Truth. See, quite often doctrinal errors are the result
00:01:15.840 of moral problems rather than intellectual problems. See, men who teach false doctrine 0.95
00:01:22.080 often do so to avoid the moral applications of the truth of God's word in their own lives.
00:01:30.600 Take the prosperity gospel, for example.
00:01:34.220 The question is, in the case of character and doctrine, which comes first?
00:01:42.700 The chicken or the egg?
00:01:46.400 I think it's a two-way street.
00:01:49.080 One will influence the other, and the other will influence the one.
00:01:52.800 In the case of prosperity preachers,
00:01:57.300 did they just somehow miss the truth of God's word?
00:02:02.140 Or is it just a matter of a lack of thoroughness and diligence
00:02:06.780 in their doctrinal study?
00:02:09.900 And because they so poorly and so apathetically studied the word of God,
00:02:16.140 they arrived at such horrid conclusions and doctrines,
00:02:22.680 and because they had such bad doctrines of prosperity,
00:02:27.360 that then led towards them purchasing $68 million jets?
00:02:35.920 I tend to doubt it.
00:02:39.540 No, I think it is perhaps more likely,
00:02:42.720 and certainly, again, it's a two-way street.
00:02:44.860 I think there's overflow from both sides, but it's very likely that these are men who struggled with the sin,
00:02:53.780 the moral failure, the idolatry of greed, and did not wage violence against it.
00:03:03.020 And then their doctrine began to suit their idolatry.
00:03:08.360 see their ministry their teaching began to shape itself around their idols
00:03:16.860 it is not just that that someone has flawed doctrine that allows for flawed character
00:03:27.060 that is true but it is also that someone has flawed character sin and idolatry that they
00:03:36.080 are not willing to repent of that they are not willing by the grace that God provides to mortify
00:03:41.520 and it begins to shape their doctrine see the idolatry that they so love and so cherish they
00:03:49.160 trust and they treasure that they hold so dear all of a sudden in their doctrine they begin to make
00:03:56.420 provisions for it the ministry begins to shape around the man if the man is flawed the ministry
00:04:07.360 will be flawed if the man is morally failing his preaching will begin to fail
00:04:17.960 and vice versa if the man struggles in his doctrine he will struggle in his character
00:04:28.820 paul is linking a good conscience again that is a clean conscience a pure heart someone who is
00:04:35.880 living a life of godliness putting sin to death and when they fail being faithful to live openly
00:04:42.500 to walk in the light as he is in the light
00:04:45.180 and to confess their sins to one another.
00:04:47.820 That person who has a good conscience
00:04:51.340 is the very same person who will hold fast to the faith.
00:04:57.160 But the person who begins to reject a good conscience,
00:05:01.660 that is the very same person
00:05:03.140 who will begin to reject the faith.
00:05:05.320 Thanks so much for listening.
00:05:06.660 But real quick, before you go,
00:05:08.600 do us a small favor, take a moment
00:05:10.420 and leave us a five-star review
00:05:12.260 if you enjoyed the show.
00:05:13.860 This is undoubtedly the best way
00:05:16.200 that you can help us get this biblically faithful content
00:05:19.100 to as many people as possible.
00:05:21.240 Thanks so much.
