00:00:00.000 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:01.860 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry because you're spending your
00:00:05.860 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.
00:00:18.940 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,
00:00:44.840 but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:49.780 the law of god brings life the law of god does not eternally save the soul no man will be saved
00:01:01.640 by works as done unto the law as the apostle paul says in the book of romans but the law of
00:01:08.460 god and obedience to the law it does bring life the scripture speaks of the law of god as that
00:01:16.000 which revives the soul and that really throws a wrench into the gears of a lot of evangelicals
00:01:25.120 today they can't even quote scripture on that point without blushing because it seems to
00:01:33.560 contradict the doctrines of grace to say that God's moral standard and that obeying and observing
00:01:43.100 god's moral standard would have a positive and spiritual effect on a person that it would even
00:01:52.400 revive the soul it seems like heresy seems like legalism or it seems like a quote from the bible
00:02:04.120 the law of god does revive the soul does not save the soul only the perfect finished obedience of
00:02:12.860 christ which is received by grace through faith alone saves the soul but hearing the law of god
00:02:20.520 through faith and obeying the law of god by grace leads towards a life of abundance
00:02:30.700 it leads towards a life not just the life to come but here and now of peace that surpasses
00:02:38.500 all understanding joy unspeakable fullness of joy in his presence the law of god and obedience to it
00:02:50.320 by grace through faith in christ it revives the soul it brings back the weary wanderer
00:02:58.940 into a place of structure, security, safety, and blessing.
00:03:05.380 One principle, simple as it may be,
00:03:09.940 it has been misconstrued, misinterpreted, twisted, and tweaked
00:03:14.820 a thousand times over by the evangelical church.
00:03:18.300 The principle is this, obedience brings blessing.
00:03:23.360 It does.
00:03:25.020 And that is not the prosperity gospel.
00:03:28.400 The prosperity gospel does not teach
00:03:30.460 that obedience brings blessing.
00:03:32.620 The prosperity gospel says that you can put faith
00:03:35.560 in your faith rather than faith in Christ.
00:03:39.540 The prosperity gospel cares nothing for obedience.
00:03:42.460 The prosperity gospel is the equivalent of saying
00:03:45.460 rather than working hard and practicing integrity
00:03:48.080 and being faithful in all of life to the commands of God,
00:03:52.460 the prosperity gospel says
00:03:53.800 that you can purchase a lottery ticket
00:03:55.560 and if you believe hard enough you're guaranteed to win that's not obedience the prosperity gospel
00:04:03.600 which is a heresy and has led millions of souls to hell it is no trifling matter but the prosperity
00:04:13.560 gospel is not a doctrine of obedience bringing blessing it is a doctrine that says that you
00:04:19.920 don't have to obey, that you can simply take your red ruby slippers and tap them together three
00:04:26.340 times and say there's no place like a million dollars and it'll be granted to you. It's the
00:04:32.440 power of positivity. It's believing in yourself. It's faith in your faith. None of that is the
00:04:38.540 gospel. However, also none of that is God's law. The prosperity gospel is not choosing obedience
00:04:46.740 to the commands of God over the gospel, it's choosing neither. The prosperity gospel is a
00:04:53.360 twisting and a perversion of both the gospel and God's law. So the solution to certain heresies,
00:05:00.800 such as the prosperity gospel, is not to be lawless. It is not to abandon the very basic
00:05:07.920 biblical principle that there is an undeniable correlation between obedience and blessing.
00:05:14.080 obedience and blessing is not how we veer off into the prosperity gospel
00:05:18.440 obedience bringing blessing is undeniable it is undeniable it is heresy the heresy of legalism
00:05:28.640 to say that obedience brings salvation namely our obedience bringing salvation but obedience does
00:05:36.500 bring blessing even for the pagan even for the reprobate for the non-elect if they simply
00:05:43.780 conform at least in measure outwardly to the standards of god that they live outwardly in
00:05:51.040 some measure of obedience to god's universal standards set forth in his law they will have
00:05:56.700 a better life still go to hell apart from faith in jesus but temporally in this life here and now
00:06:04.160 things will go better with them why because god will not be mocked a man will reap what he sows
00:06:12.340 and the principle irrevocable principle of sowing and reaping God has baked into the very fabric of
00:06:21.760 the world in which he has made and whether we reject God or submit to God we have no choice
00:06:27.680 but to live in God's world and because we live in God's world those who live according to God's
00:06:33.800 rules will experience a better life. So God's law matters. It reveals to us our need for a Savior
00:06:42.720 in the first sense, but beyond that, the law of God also functions as a compass, a guide, a lamp,
00:06:49.360 a light that shows us where to go not to merit God's favor, but as a response of gratitude for
00:06:56.200 the free favor we have in christ already and as we seek to obey god's law with joy
00:07:02.900 not only is there benefit and heavenly eternal rewards which i do believe the bible speaks to
00:07:11.020 plainly but there is also tangible and practical benefits temporally here and now so our church
00:07:18.760 covenant bible church we not only acknowledge the law of god through gritted teeth
00:07:25.140 but we delight in the law of god not only is that which is morally right but that which is
00:07:32.160 the good that which brings benefit and prosperity to our lives here and now can i be frank with you
00:07:42.480 for just a second right here at the end look some of you guys you're financially supporting this
00:07:47.520 ministry and from the bottom of my heart i say thank you i cannot thank you enough however some
00:07:54.640 of you, you just, you can't afford it. In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it. Let's be
00:08:01.180 honest. I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation and our totalitarian
00:08:08.580 political elites lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID. We have written checks
00:08:16.800 that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the definition of a recession.
00:08:22.740 We are living in a recession right now, regardless.
00:08:27.480 Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store.
00:08:32.440 You cannot support financially this ministry at this time, nor should you, but you could
00:08:38.820 still help us tremendously.
00:08:41.040 I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time.
00:08:46.500 Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, iTunes, Spotify, whatever that
00:08:53.440 might be. This is the way the system works. We want to be innocent as doves but shrewd as vipers.
00:09:00.700 We need to be strategic. You leave us a five-star review and our podcast shows up for more people.
00:09:07.540 And the Word of God and courageous theology applied in practical ways to every realm of life
00:09:14.680 gets out there. Help us get it out there. Thanks for tuning in.
