Summary
In order to be as faithful as the Church, we must be as cheap as possible, and the cheapest way to do so is through the simple and inexpensive means of the Lord's Supper. The Bible teaches that the bread and wine is not special, it's just plain bread and water.

Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry because you're spending your
00:00:05.900
cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:19.000
And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24.160
that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star
00:00:29.980
review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36.560
We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.
00:00:42.360
Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of
00:00:47.420
God. You're listening to Daily Truth. And so too, not just for Old Testament Israel,
00:00:55.740
under the old covenant, according to the flesh,
00:00:59.440
but for New Testament Israel under the new covenant,
00:01:25.740
are not pompous they're not intricate what i'm saying is that they are simple it's just water
00:01:33.740
it's just bread it's just wine i've had in the past uh well-intended very kind women approach me
00:01:45.320
and say could i make you know for the lord's supper a more delicious bread with with honey
00:01:51.840
and raisins and my answer is i would love for you to make that bread and bring it and let's all take
00:01:59.440
it home and eat it as families for lunch but not for the supper for the lord's supper the bread
00:02:06.600
is meant to be simple bread it's meant to be plain that's exactly what god prescribed to israel
00:02:17.480
With the Passover, it was actually unleavened bread.
00:02:22.440
would hold to the position that the New Testament
00:02:27.960
which mirrors the Passover from the Old Testament,
00:02:33.840
There are others on the other side of the aisle,
00:02:36.040
theologically, who argue that under the New Covenant,
00:02:43.600
that has now entered the lump, the loaf, and is working through.
00:02:48.180
And so they would say, still simple bread, but the leaven should be there
00:02:50.960
because it is the new covenant in the New Testament.
00:02:59.060
But in either case, whether it's unleavened in keeping with Old Testament Israel
00:03:07.940
it's not a bread with honey and raisins, is my point.
00:03:17.460
And likewise, in the sacrament of baptism, the water is a very simple water.
00:03:23.240
Protestants have held that it is not holy water, blessed by a priest.
00:03:33.560
There's nothing inherent to the water that does anything supernatural.
00:03:41.940
But the sign of the supernatural miracle that's being represented,
00:03:54.000
And speaking of baptism, he says that baptism now saves you.
00:04:03.060
not the water itself giving you some kind of holy supernatural bath,
00:04:10.000
not as dirt being removed from the body the physical act of the water um covering the body
00:04:16.320
being immersed in the water and and cleansing the body of of literal physical dirt that's not what
00:04:22.080
saves you but peter goes on baptism now saves you not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an
00:04:28.600
appeal to god for a clean conscience that is to say insofar as this water covering your body
00:04:37.040
represents an inward insofar as the outward action of water being immersed in water accurately
00:04:45.000
reflects the inward reality of an appeal a plea to god for the cleaning of the conscience
00:04:52.880
insofar as those two things align well then you bet your bottom dollar in that instance baptism
00:04:59.840
saves you. Baptism does save you insofar as it is an outward manifestation, an outward physical
00:05:08.500
visible symbol of an inward reality. The body being washed, but representing the conscience
00:05:17.280
crying out to God, pleading to be cleaned, to be forgiven, for sin to be atoned for. In that sense,
00:05:26.560
baptism saves. But again, the water isn't special. And the Lord's Supper, the bread is not special.
00:05:34.400
The wine is not special. In fact, I assure you, brothers and sisters, in order to be
00:05:40.800
as faithful theologically as possible, Covenant Bible Church buys the cheapest wine we can find.
00:05:47.300
And it's strictly for theological reasons, right? We would love to buy more expensive wine,
00:05:52.100
But it's just we want to be faithful to simple wine in a biblical sense.
00:06:08.020
It's fitting that the sign and seal should fit the miracle, the work that God has performed.
00:06:16.120
point. Joshua, this now being a greater sign. So that's kind of with the supper and baptism,
00:06:25.360
the 12 stones with Old Testament Israel and the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper
00:06:30.780
with New Testament Israel, with you and I. But going even beyond that now, looking at a sign
00:06:45.000
Joshua was instructed by the Lord to appoint one man
00:06:59.080
after having passed through the agony of his death on the cross.
00:07:08.520
passing over death, Joshua being a type of Christ,
00:07:16.480
So just as Joshua led Israel through the Jordan
00:07:22.160
Christ Jesus passed through the agony of his death
00:07:33.780
to all of true Israel, according to the Spirit.
00:07:49.960
after having passed through his river of death on the cross,
00:07:56.160
to construct the eternal memorial of Holy Scripture
00:08:01.360
to ensure that the knowledge of his life, death, and resurrection
00:08:10.540
Fight by flight, why leaving godless places is loving godless places.
00:08:21.320
You claim to believe that Jesus is king of every square inch,
00:08:24.960
but apparently you don't think he's king of California
00:08:27.120
because I've heard your personal story that you used to be a pastor there and that you left for
00:08:33.200
the state of Texas. Notice the title, not fight or flight, but fight by flight. Think of the
00:08:41.160
prodigal son. He comes to the end of his rope. He's longing to be fed with the pods given to the pigs
00:08:47.360
and the parable says no one gave him anything. No member of the father's house tracked him down
00:08:55.040
to give him a handout. He was hurting. He had to lie in the bed that he had made for himself
00:09:01.820
by his foolish choices. You know what the next words in that parable are? No one gave him anything
0.98
00:09:07.520
and he came to his senses. He began to repent. There are 10 million professing Christians
00:09:15.200
currently living in the state of California. What if they're fighting but at the same time
0.65
00:09:21.620
while well-intentioned they're also funding what if california could be brought to its knees
00:09:27.900
simply by the faithful not fighting there but leaving there and forcing gavin newsom and other
00:09:35.420
tyrants like him to actually have to take a spoonful of their own medicine the book has
00:09:42.780

00:10:07.140
here at the end? Look, some of you guys, you're financially supporting this ministry, and from
00:10:12.160
the bottom of my heart, I say thank you. I cannot thank you enough. However, some of you, you just
00:10:19.120
you can't afford it. In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it. Let's be honest. I mean,
00:10:25.740
we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation and our totalitarian political elites
0.98
00:10:33.840
lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID. We have written checks that we simply
00:10:41.340
cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the definition of a recession. We are living in
00:10:47.920
a recession right now regardless. Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the
00:10:54.800
grocery store. You cannot support financially this ministry at this time, nor should you,
00:11:01.820
but you could still help us tremendously. I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so,
00:11:07.840
take one minute of your time. Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform,
00:11:14.880
iTunes, Spotify, whatever that might be. This is the way the system works. We want to be innocent
00:11:21.140
as doves but shrewd as vipers. We need to be strategic. You leave us a five-star review
00:11:27.620
and our podcast shows up for more people. And the Word of God and courageous theology
00:11:34.380
applied in practical ways to every realm of life
