=== Fear Men More Than God (03:44) ===

[00:00:00]  All right, listen, guys, I get it.
[00:00:02]  Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry because you're spending your 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.
[00:00:18]  And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five star review.
[00:00:31]  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.
[00:00:38]  Thank you so much.
[00:00:39]  God bless.
[00:00:42]  Jesus said, Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
[00:00:48]  You're listening to Daily Truth.
[00:00:52]  So, one of the big plays would be this, and you'll see it all right now.
[00:00:55]  Right now, you're going to see a ton of it because of the situation with John MacArthur.
[00:01:01]  Some of you are not aware.
[00:01:02]  Some of you, you know what I'm saying.
[00:01:03]  I don't have time to go into all of it.
[00:01:05]  But being accused of being complicit with an abuse case that happened 20 years ago.
[00:01:12]  And here's the deal.
[00:01:13]  I don't have a position, an official position.
[00:01:17]  MacArthur might be wrong.
[00:01:19]  Believe it or not, I know it's hard for Reformed Christians to hear, but MacArthur might be wrong.
[00:01:27]  He might have made a mistake.
[00:01:29]  MacArthur, I'm grateful for him.
[00:01:31]  He's been faithful in many regards, but he might have made a mistake.
[00:01:35]  He certainly made a mistake a couple decades ago when he sided with police officers against Christians trying to save the unborn.
[00:01:42]  Definitely made a mistake then.
[00:01:45]  You can check the record.
[00:01:48]  So MacArthur is awesome.
[00:01:50]  He could be wrong, but here's the point whether this is just another hashtag MeToo case that's being twisted and perverted to make Grace Community Church look bad because they've been faithful for so long, because they have been.
[00:02:05]  Overall, immense faithfulness from John MacArthur.
[00:02:07]  Praise God for him.
[00:02:09]  So, whether it's they're lying and slandering and twisting things, or whether MacArthur actually covered something up and should have done a better job and should now publicly repent, I don't know.
[00:02:18]  I don't have a position on that.
[00:02:19]  I don't know.
[00:02:20]  I don't know all the details.
[00:02:22]  But this is what I do know.
[00:02:24]  What I do know is that when you look at Twitter, or when you go to the average sermon at the average church, what you hear would make you think that there's an epidemic of men abusing women in the church.
[00:02:43]  That happens.
[00:02:45]  But right now, if we're honest, that's what you call a footnote.
[00:02:49]  Do you want to hear the real headline in 2023 in the evangelical church?
[00:02:55]  Feminism.
[00:02:56]  That's the headline.
[00:02:59]  The headline is not abusive patriarchy.
[00:03:02]  It's not.
[00:03:03]  You know it's not.
[00:03:04]  That can happen, it has happened, it does happen.
[00:03:08]  That's not the majority report.
[00:03:11]  The majority report in evangelicalism in the church today in America is not abusive patriarchy.
[00:03:19]  It is godless, pagan, wicked feminism.
[00:03:25]  It's Jezebel.
[00:03:27]  She's the problem.
[00:03:29]  And we need men who are not cowering, not vulnerable to her tactics, like the eunuchs in the Bible who picked her up and threw her out the window so that she could be eaten by the dogs.

=== Majority Report Is Feminism (02:06) ===

[00:03:44]  That's what we need.
[00:03:45]  By God's grace, He's raising up such men who do not bow to Jezebel because they have a God in heaven that they fear more than men.
[00:03:54]  It is sad when we compromise to fear men more than God.
[00:03:59]  It's pathetic when we compromise to fear women more than God.
[00:04:04]  And that's not just where America as a nation is, that's where the American Evangelical Church is.
[00:04:11]  We've been there for quite some time.
[00:04:13]  Can I be frank with you for just a second, right here at the end?
[00:04:16]  Look, some of you guys, you're financially supporting this ministry, and from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you.
[00:04:23]  I cannot thank you enough.
[00:04:26]  However, some of you, you just can't afford it.
[00:04:29]  In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it.
[00:04:32]  Let's be honest.
[00:04:34]  I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy.
[00:04:37]  Our nation and our totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID.
[00:04:47]  We have written checks that we simply cannot cash.
[00:04:51]  It doesn't matter if people change the definition of a recession, we are living in a recession right now, regardless.
[00:04:59]  Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store.
[00:05:04]  You cannot support financially this ministry at this time, nor should you, but you could still help us tremendously.
[00:05:13]  I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time.
[00:05:19]  Leave us a five star review on your favorite podcast platform iTunes, Spotify, whatever that might be.
[00:05:26]  This is the way the system works.
[00:05:28]  We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers.
[00:05:32]  We need to be strategic.
[00:05:34]  You leave us a five star review, and our podcast shows up for more people.
[00:05:39]  And the Word of God and courageous theology applied in practical ways to every realm of life gets out there.
[00:05:48]  Help us get it out there.
[00:05:50]  Thanks for tuning in.
