00:00:00 Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request.
00:00:03 If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,
00:00:06 would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?
00:00:09 This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do
00:00:12 to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible.
00:00:17 Thanks.
00:00:19 Jesus said,
00:00:20 Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:25 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:30 Our final qualification, well thought of by outsiders.
00:00:34 This means that an elder must have a good reputation with people outside the church.
00:00:37 Now, I'll just tell you right now, straight up, I've always wrestled with this one
00:00:41 because I felt like, I felt frustrated by this one for the longest time.
00:00:44 I was like, this is just inconsistent, and I feel like it's a little bit hypocritical.
00:00:49 Paul, I'm not going to put that on God, that's just straight up blasphemy,
00:00:53 but I'll put it on Paul, and that's getting cute because Paul is inspired by the Holy Spirit,
00:00:59 So that's, you know, don't do that.
00:01:00 I shouldn't do that.
00:01:01 But the point is, I've looked at Paul and I've just said,
00:01:04 good reputation with outsiders, seriously?
00:01:06 Like good, you know, convenient for you
00:01:08 because you're technically not first and foremost an elder,
00:01:10 but you're first and foremost an apostle.
00:01:12 So you don't actually have to abide by that
00:01:13 because you don't abide by that
00:01:15 because you don't have a good reputation with outsiders, Paul.
00:01:18 If you had a good reputation with outsiders,
00:01:20 you wouldn't be in prison all the time.
00:01:23 Right?
00:01:23 I mean, if you had a good reputation with outsiders,
00:01:25 why are you getting beat?
00:01:26 Why are you getting flogged?
00:01:27 Why are you getting thrown in jail?
00:01:29 So what does that mean?
00:01:30 Good reputation with outsiders.
00:01:33 An elder should be recognized in the community
00:01:35 as a man of moral character and proper conduct.
00:01:38 His business dealing should be honest and right.
00:01:41 Non-believers should not be able to bring the charge of hypocrisy.
00:01:45 That's the key. 0.82
00:01:47 Hypocrisy against a church leader.
00:01:49 See, we will often be maligned by non-believers 0.52
00:01:52 for our stance of the truth,
00:01:53 by virtue of our convictions and our preaching.
00:01:57 and our evangelism, what we stand for, God's truth, is an offense.
00:02:01 Therefore, if we look like Christ, we will garnish opposition.
00:02:05 We will garnish criticism from non-believers.
00:02:09 But they may often slander us because our lives and our word,
00:02:13 our preaching, convict them of sin.
00:02:15 However, we should not give cause for reproach by our ungodly behavior.
00:02:19 The snare of the devil probably refers to the trap
00:02:22 which the devil sets for church leaders by getting them to ruin their testimony.
00:02:26 Satan hates all Christians, but especially biblically qualified elders.
00:02:30 Because Satan knows if he can take out an elder, he can take out a church. 0.95
00:02:35 He knows that.
00:02:36 So what does it mean to have a good reputation with outsiders?
00:02:40 That outsiders say, hey, that guy never makes me feel uncomfortable.
00:02:44 No.
00:02:44 I would say that actually might be a sign of being disqualified.
00:02:49 An elder should preach.
00:02:51 There are elders in our church.
00:02:53 just yesterday, Pastor Sean Canale was outside preaching outside of an abortion clinic with
00:02:58 other members of our church, pleading with women to trust in the Lordship of Jesus Christ
00:03:04 and to not murder their children. Now, there were plenty of people who did not appreciate
00:03:10 that. Who would have thought? If we asked those individuals, hey, does Pastor Sean Canale
00:03:20 have a good reputation with you?
00:03:23 They would say, no.
00:03:24 And then we should, in light of this qualification,
00:03:26 ask, why?
00:03:28 See, does he not have a good reputation with you 0.99
00:03:31 because he's a hypocrite? 0.98
00:03:33 Because he's saying one thing and living another way? 1.00
00:03:36 That's what it's speaking to.
00:03:37 This man claims to be a Christian.
00:03:38 In fact, he even claims to be an elder of Christ's church
00:03:40 and he's preaching on the Lord's day to Christ's people,
00:03:42 but he's also a business owner and he rips people off.
00:03:46 He's cheating on his wife.
00:03:48 See, that's what it's speaking to.
00:03:50 A good reputation with outsiders doesn't mean that everybody likes you.
00:03:54 If that was the qualification that Jesus is disqualified, Paul's disqualified, everybody's disqualified.
00:03:59 That can't be what it means.
00:04:00 What it means, rather, is that he is not subject to the accusation of hypocrisy.
00:04:07 There will be plenty who will slander him, who will speak all kinds of falsehoods about him, who will revile him.
00:04:14 But it won't be he says one thing and does another.
00:04:16 That won't be the charge.
00:04:17 the charge rather will be he preaches christ and him crucified and christ is a rock of offense
00:04:25 and i hate it that's not a disqualification that rather is a mark of being qualified
00:04:35 that should be esteemed in a man all right all right all right stop twisting my arm i know you
00:04:41 want to hear the inside scoop here it is the glorious vision of right response ministries
00:04:46 for the first half of next year, 2023.
00:04:49 We have not one, not two, but three massive endeavors
00:04:53 that we will accomplish by the grace of God.
00:04:57 The first you already know about.
00:04:58 It's our Theonomy and Post-Millennialism Conference,
00:05:01 May 5th, 6th, and 7th, with James White, Joe Boot,
00:05:05 Gary DeMar, Dale Partridge, and yours truly,
00:05:07 Pastor Joel Webbin.
00:05:08 This is selling out incredibly fast.
00:05:11 By the time this commercial airs,
00:05:13 you may not even be able to get a ticket.
00:05:14 I really don't know.
00:05:16 So don't waste another moment, go to rightresponseconference.com, rightresponseconference.com to join us for the Theonomy and Post-Millennialism Conference next year.
00:05:27 Now, this is where you come in. We need your help. Our next two endeavors are, number one, a documentary-style film, and number two, a brand new studio.
00:05:37 Both of these things are seeking to accomplish one primary goal, which is excellent, high-quality, glorious Christian media.
00:05:48 We are tired of, as Christians, doing things poorly.
00:05:53 We've done our best with what we have, but by God's grace, we want to do even better.
00:05:58 This is not going to be just another video.
00:06:00 This is not going to be a sermon or an interview or a podcast, but we're going to make a documentary-style film.
00:06:07 And we're going to be hiring Nathan Anderson, the director of On Earth As It Is In Heaven,
00:06:12 a very, very successful post-millennialism documentary that's on Amazon and YouTube.
00:06:18 Came out a couple years ago.
00:06:19 He's going to be flying in from Chile to help us direct this film.
00:06:24 And our documentary is going to be on post-millennialism and theonomy.
00:06:29 Why it's biblically valid.
00:06:30 Why it's absolutely necessary.
00:06:32 and why, by the grace of God, theonomy and post-millennialism are currently on the rise.
00:06:38 So we're going to make this film, and we need your support. And not just this film,
00:06:43 but we're going to make all of our videos and podcasting and everything we do here at
00:06:48 Right Response Ministries better. We want to achieve the highest level of quality
00:06:54 and Christian excellence that we possibly can. That's where the new studio comes in.
00:06:59 This new film, our date that we're shooting for, is that it would be complete and publicly
00:07:05 available in May or June of 2023, next year.
00:07:09 The studio, our goal is that it would be completely done in its construction and the equipment
00:07:14 and the setup and the stage and everything by January, February of 2023, next year.
00:07:22 We need your prayers.
00:07:23 We need your encouragement.
00:07:25 And for those of you who are willing to do so, we need your generous support.
00:07:29 You can give towards these endeavors by going to
