00:00:00 all right listen guys i get it many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
00:00:04 because you're spending your cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and admonition
00:00:09 of the lord praise god for you and that endeavor however algorithms are a thing shadow banning
00:00:16 sadly is a thing and one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of
00:00:23 this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us
00:00:28 a five-star review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast
00:00:35 with a friend. We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.
00:00:41 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of
00:00:46 God. You're listening to Daily Truth. And one final illustration that Christ gives is this.
00:00:55 At the end of the age, I will separate the sheep from the goats.
00:01:00 The goats on my left hand and the sheep on my right.
00:01:05 And right there in this illustration, one of the things, at least at minimum,
00:01:10 one of the things that we can conclude is that not every human being,
00:01:15 by virtue of being a human being created in the image of God, is by default a sheep.
00:01:22 I'll say that again.
00:01:23 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 Because Jesus tells us, at least at minimum, there are two categories, not merely one, sheep and goats.
00:01:47 We could go beyond that, looking at other teachings of Christ,
00:01:50 and say that there are three, or arguably four, categories.
00:01:54 There are sheep and goats, and there are shepherds and wolves.
00:02:00 Now, to be fair, I would say that shepherds and wolves are subcategories.
00:02:05 That every single human being falls into one of the two primary categories of a sheep or a wolf,
00:02:11 And then those who are shepherds, all human shepherds are ultimately under shepherds.
00:02:17 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 And these under shepherds, they themselves, while being shepherds, are also sheep.
00:02:34 So you have sheep and goats, and then you have sheep, sheep, and under shepherd sheep.
00:02:39 And then in the goat category, you have goat goats and you have wolf goats.
00:02:46 Wolves are goats, but they're also wolves.
00:02:49 Shepherds are sheep, but they're also shepherds.
00:02:52 But the two primary categories once more are sheep and goats.
00:02:58 Now, John chapter 10, full circle back.
00:03:02 Jesus claims to be the good shepherd who lays his life down for the sheep.
00:03:09 He does not die for goats.
00:03:11 He does not die for wolves.
00:03:14 He does not die for tares.
00:03:16 He does not die for bad fish.
00:03:20 He dies for the sheep.
00:03:23 Can I be frank with you for just a second right here at the end?
00:03:26 Look, some of you guys, you're financially supporting this ministry.
00:03:29 And from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you.
00:03:32 I cannot thank you enough.
00:03:35 However, some of you, you just, you can't afford it.
00:03:38 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 ridiculous economy. Our nation and our totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last 0.97
00:03:54 three years due to COVID. We have written checks that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if
00:04:01 people change the definition of a recession. We are living in a recession right now regardless.
00:04:08 Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store.
00:04:13 You cannot support financially this ministry at this time, nor should you, but you could
00:04:20 still help us tremendously.
00:04:22 I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time.
00:04:28 Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, iTunes, Spotify, whatever
00:04:34 that might be.
00:04:36 This is the way the system works.
00:04:37 We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers.
00:04:42 We need to be strategic.
00:04:43 You leave us a five-star review, and our podcast shows up for more people.
00:04:48 And the Word of God and courageous theology applied in practical ways to every realm of
00:04:55 life gets out there.
00:04:57 Help us get it out there.
00:04:59 Thanks for tuning in.
