Summary

We live in such an individualistic, atomistic society, and such a Gnostic and "Christian" culture, that it's easy to forget that we are called to fight, laugh, and feast both war and rest!

00:00:00 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:01 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry because you're spending your
00:00:05 cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:10 Praise God for you and that endeavor.
00:00:13 However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing.
00:00:19 And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24 that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star
00:00:29 review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36 We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.
00:00:42 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of
00:00:47 God. You're listening to Daily Truth. See, brothers and sisters, we are called to fight
00:00:55 and laugh and feast both war and rest fight laugh feast but here's the last part the unspoken part
00:01:04 but the part that nonetheless probably needs to be spoken from time to time because i think we
00:01:08 forget it we're called the fight laugh feast together together it is not merely making it
00:01:17 the celestial city over the course of an afternoon and enjoying Jesus all by yourself. 0.64
00:01:24 We live in such an individualistic, atomistic society and such a Gnostic and pietistic society. 0.94
00:01:35 In other words, to speak plainly, this has worked into the culture, seeped into the culture of the 0.97
00:01:42 church sadly and what it means is that most christians think in terms of themselves as
00:01:49 individuals having a forever honeymoon with jesus and that's it that's the christian life
00:01:57 they don't think about war they think about romantic honeymoons they think about long
00:02:03 walks on the beach with jesus and two things integral things if we believe the scripture
00:02:11 are missing in their imagination of the Christian life
00:02:13 with their long walk on the beach with Jesus.
00:02:17 The two things that are missing are this.
00:02:19 One, there's no enemies on the beach.
00:02:23 We get to have a long walk with Jesus on the beach,
00:02:25 but it's kind of like the beach of Normandy.
00:02:29 And not in Hawaii.
00:02:32 So one thing that's missing is enemies.
00:02:35 Combat, conquest, battle, war.
00:02:39 the other thing that is missing is everyone else the enemies the opposition is missing
00:02:46 and the rest of the army your allies the church is missing it's not corporate it's isolated
00:02:55 it's private not corporate but private and not conquest and battle and war
00:03:03 but just romanticized boyfriend songs
00:03:08 where you replace boyfriend with Jesus.
00:03:12 And here we have the modern American
00:03:15 evangelical Christian imagination.
00:03:19 Can I be frank with you for just a second
00:03:21 right here at the end?
00:03:22 Look, some of you guys,
00:03:24 you're financially supporting this ministry
00:03:26 and from the bottom of my heart,
00:03:27 I say thank you.
00:03:29 I cannot thank you enough.
00:03:31 However, some of you, you just, you can't afford it. In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it.
00:03:38 Let's be honest. I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation and our 0.91
00:03:45 totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID. We have
00:03:53 written checks that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the definition
00:03:59 of a recession. We are living in a recession right now regardless. Some of you are struggling
00:04:06 to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store. You cannot support financially this ministry at
00:04:13 this time, nor should you, but you could still help us tremendously. I am asking you, please,
00:04:21 if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time. Leave us a five-star review on your
00:04:27 favorite podcast platform, iTunes, Spotify, whatever that might be, this is the way the
00:04:33 system works. We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers. We need to be strategic.
00:04:40 You leave us a five-star review, and our podcast shows up for more people. And the Word of God
00:04:46 and courageous theology applied in practical ways to every realm of life gets out there.
00:04:54 Help us get it out there. Thanks for tuning in.
00:04:57 You
