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 So what are the purposes of God for elders to be spiritually mature?
00:00:36 Because elders, according to these three texts, are to set an example.
00:00:44 Elders should be able to say to the flock of God, imitate me as I imitate Christ.
00:00:49 Elders should be able to say to the flock of God, both in their preaching and in their lives,
00:00:55 both in their doctrine and in their life,
00:00:58 They should be able to say to the flock of God, you would do well to imitate me as I imitate Christ.
00:01:05 You would do well to follow me as I follow Christ.
00:01:08 I'm not only trying to teach you the right doctrinal tenets in my message,
00:01:13 but I'm also trying to live a life that puts these into practice
00:01:18 so that you not only can hear and follow, but you can see and follow.
00:01:24 Part of the purpose of an elder being spiritually mature is because an elder is called by God to be an example.
00:01:33 An elder should be a step or two, if not 10, but at least a step or two ahead of at least the majority of the congregation.
00:01:43 Because it is a great benefit to the people of God.
00:01:48 The reason we don't like the idea of someone in the church,
00:01:52 pastors or whoever it might be,
00:01:53 being more mature than somebody else
00:01:55 is because we live in an egalitarian age.
00:01:59 One of the great enemies of the church
00:02:01 is the enemy of egalitarianism.
00:02:03 And some of you are like, really?
00:02:04 Because I thought that you just devoted four weeks to that.
00:02:08 I thought, surely we can now move on.
00:02:11 But what I want you to see is the overarching banner
00:02:13 of egalitarianism has multiple expressions
00:02:16 that fall underneath.
00:02:17 So feminism is one expression of egalitarianism 0.96
00:02:22 as it pertains to the relationship between men and women.
00:02:26 But egalitarianism still reigns supreme in the church,
00:02:31 influenced by the culture,
00:02:33 in terms of not just the relationship between men and women,
00:02:35 but elder and congregant.
00:02:38 See, there is much in your heart,
00:02:40 if you don't actively seek to put it to death,
00:02:42 that wants to say, uh-uh, you're not better than me.
00:02:46 well why why would it be the intention of god for an elder to be more sanctified than the members
00:02:55 of their church set the believers an example imitate me as i imitate christ not domineering
00:03:05 over those in your charge but being examples to the flock it is difficult brothers and sisters
00:03:10 to set an example if you are not running the race as to win this is something that should come back
00:03:19 into our pulpits and come back into our doctrine as the people of god a godly christian competition
00:03:26 did you know that there is actually a sanctified competitive spirit paul the apostle does not say
00:03:33 I run and carefully pace myself as though to finish no he says I run as to win follow me as
00:03:43 I follow Christ implying what a very charitable way of saying I'm ahead of you and him saying
00:03:51 and it is my goal to beat you I'm running as to win I beat my body my flesh and make it my slave
00:04:00 I throw off anything that hinders and so easily entangles
00:04:04 so that I might run the race set before me,
00:04:06 not just to finish, but to win.
00:04:09 There is a godly, a godly competitive spirit
00:04:13 that is not rooted in pride and arrogance,
00:04:15 but rather rooted in a zeal for the glory of God
00:04:18 and that you might be a blessing and a benefit
00:04:20 to those who can follow you as you follow Christ.
00:04:24 And the aversion in the heart of the congregant
00:04:27 against exactly what I am espousing
00:04:30 is the spirit of egalitarianism and pride.
00:04:34 And I commend you to put it to death by grace.
00:04:37 All right, all right, all right.
00:04:38 Stop twisting my arm.
00:04:40 I know you want to hear the inside scoop.
00:04:42 Here it is, the glorious vision
00:04:44 of Right Response Ministries
00:04:45 for the first half of next year, 2023.
00:04:48 We have not one, not two, but three massive endeavors
00:04:52 that we will accomplish by the grace of God.
00:04:56 The first you already know about.
00:04:58 It's our Theonomy and Post-Millennialism Conference, May 5th, 6th, and 7th, with James
00:05:03 White, Joe Boot, Gary DeMar, Dale Partridge, and yours truly, Pastor Joel Webin.
00:05:08 This is selling out incredibly fast.
00:05:10 By the time this commercial airs, 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.
00:05:17 Go to rightresponseconference.com, rightresponseconference.com to join us for the Theonomy and Post-Millennialism
00:05:25 conference next year. Now, this is where you come in. We need your help. Our next two endeavors
00:05:31 are number one, a documentary-style film, and number two, a brand new studio. Both of these
00:05:38 things are seeking to accomplish one primary goal, which is excellent, high-quality, glorious
00:05:45 Christian media. We are tired of, as Christians, doing things poorly. We've done our best with
00:05:53 what we have, but by God's grace, we want to do even better. This is not going to be just another
00:05:59 video. This is not going to be a sermon or an interview or a podcast, but we're going to make
00:06:04 a documentary style film. And we're going to be hiring Nathan Anderson, the director of On Earth
00:06:10 As It Is In Heaven, a very, very successful post-millennialism documentary that's on Amazon
00:06:16 and YouTube, came out a couple of years ago. He's going to be flying in from Chile to help us direct
00:06:22 this film. And our documentary is going to be on post-millennialism and theonomy, why it's
00:06:29 biblically valid, why it's absolutely necessary, and why, by the grace of God, theonomy and
00:06:34 post-millennialism are currently on the rise. So we're going to make this film and we need
00:06:40 your support. And not just this film, but we're going to make all of our videos and podcasting
00:06:46 and everything we do here at Right Response Ministries better. We want to achieve the
00:06:52 highest level of quality and Christian excellence that we possibly can. That's where the new studio
00:06:58 comes in. This new film, our date that we're shooting for is that it would be complete
00:07:03 and publicly available in May or June of 2023, next year. The studio, our goal is that it would
00:07:11 be completely done in its construction and the equipment and the setup and the stage and everything
00:07:16 by January, February of 2023 next year.
00:07:21 We need your prayers.
00:07:23 We need your encouragement.
00:07:24 And for those of you who are willing to do so,
00:07:27 we need your generous support.
00:07:29 You can give towards these endeavors
00:07:30 by going to rightresponseministries.com forward slash donate.
00:07:36 Again, that's rightresponseministries.com forward slash donate.
00:07:42 Thank you so much for all your help.
00:07:44 God bless.
00:07:44 Thanks so much for listening,
00:07:45 but real quick before you go do us a small favor take a moment and leave us a five-star review if
00:07:52 you enjoyed the show this is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us get this biblically
00:07:57 faithful content to as many people as possible thanks so much
