00:00:00.000 all right listen guys i get it many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
00:00:04.620 because you're spending your cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and admonition
00:00:09.880 of the lord praise god for you and that endeavor however algorithms are a thing shadow banning
00:00:16.860 sadly is a thing and one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of
00:00:23.380 this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us
00:00:28.880 a five-star review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast
00:00:35.220 with a friend. We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.
00:00:41.620 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of
00:00:46.720 God. You're listening to Daily Truth. And one final illustration that Christ gives is this.
00:00:55.000 At the end of the age, I will separate the sheep from the goats.
00:01:00.220 The goats on my left hand and the sheep on my right.
00:01:05.580 And right there in this illustration, one of the things, at least at minimum,
00:01:10.520 one of the things that we can conclude is that not every human being,
00:01:15.360 by virtue of being a human being created in the image of God, is by default a sheep.
00:01:22.260 I'll say that again.
00:01:23.500 Not every human being, merely by virtue of being created in the image of God, which all human beings are, but that alone does not default someone into the category of a sheep.
00:01:38.340 Because Jesus tells us, at least at minimum, there are two categories, not merely one, sheep and goats.
00:01:47.600 We could go beyond that, looking at other teachings of Christ,
00:01:50.660 and say that there are three, or arguably four, categories.
00:01:54.960 There are sheep and goats, and there are shepherds and wolves.
00:02:00.680 Now, to be fair, I would say that shepherds and wolves are subcategories.
00:02:05.480 That every single human being falls into one of the two primary categories of a sheep or a wolf,
00:02:11.240 And then those who are shepherds, all human shepherds are ultimately under shepherds.
00:02:17.800 Christ, according to 1 Peter 5, is the chief shepherd, but he appoints under shepherds as stewards in his house to help care for his sheep.
00:02:28.320 And these under shepherds, they themselves, while being shepherds, are also sheep.
00:02:34.080 So you have sheep and goats, and then you have sheep, sheep, and under shepherd sheep.
00:02:39.460 And then in the goat category, you have goat goats and you have wolf goats.
00:02:46.160 Wolves are goats, but they're also wolves.
00:02:49.440 Shepherds are sheep, but they're also shepherds.
00:02:52.540 But the two primary categories once more are sheep and goats.
00:02:58.160 Now, John chapter 10, full circle back.
00:03:02.380 Jesus claims to be the good shepherd who lays his life down for the sheep.
00:03:09.460 He does not die for goats.
00:03:11.920 He does not die for wolves.
00:03:14.820 He does not die for tares.
00:03:16.840 He does not die for bad fish.
00:03:20.000 He dies for the sheep.
00:03:23.040 Can I be frank with you for just a second right here at the end?
00:03:26.260 Look, some of you guys, you're financially supporting this ministry.
00:03:29.760 And from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you.
00:03:32.680 I cannot thank you enough.
00:03:35.240 However, some of you, you just, you can't afford it.
00:03:38.400 In fact, some of you shouldn't afford it. Let's be honest. I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's
00:03:45.200 ridiculous economy. Our nation and our totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last 0.97
00:03:54.240 three years due to COVID. We have written checks that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if
00:04:01.640 people change the definition of a recession. We are living in a recession right now regardless.
00:04:08.400 Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store.
00:04:13.780 You cannot support financially this ministry at this time, nor should you, but you could
00:04:20.160 still help us tremendously.
00:04:22.340 I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time.
00:04:28.360 Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, iTunes, Spotify, whatever
00:04:34.520 that might be.
00:04:36.020 This is the way the system works.
00:04:37.500 We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers.
00:04:42.060 We need to be strategic.
00:04:43.920 You leave us a five-star review, and our podcast shows up for more people.
00:04:48.900 And the Word of God and courageous theology applied in practical ways to every realm of
00:04:55.660 life gets out there.
00:04:57.740 Help us get it out there.
00:04:59.420 Thanks for tuning in.
