23:13 Outro and Podcast Information

Hey everybody.

2

Welcome back to another edition

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

3

Hope you're all doing well.

4

We do.

5

And hey, we don't know because we're

not profits, so we're recording this

6

on Tuesday afternoon, April 7th.

7

And so, we record these in advance,

but it's probably worth us addressing

8

because who knows where it is and if

it's, if we need to, we'll address more

9

of this when we record on Thursday.

10

But president Trump.

11

Drew a pretty strict ultimatum with

Iran with regards to a deadline that

12

he put in place, and at least today,

on Tuesday as we record this, he had

13

sent out a tweet that was receiving

a lot of backlash in different

14

areas about ending a civilization,

destroying a whole civilization.

15

We were talking about this a little

bit offline before we hit record, but

16

as Christians, how do we tightrope?

17

Wanting to support that, which is right.

18

And we've talked about the war in Iran in

general, and we do think that this was the

19

right thing to do, to take out a nuclear

threat, to take out a despotic regime.

20

This was the right thing to do.

21

How can we balance that and

yet at the same time realize

22

that our leaders are fallen?

23

People who sin.

24

And we need to be comfortable saying

we think that certain things are

25

good and right, while not condoning

everything about a person, because it

26

seems like in today's world at least.

27

You're just lumped in

with the whole thing.

28

You can't be, you can't have any sort of

bifurcations, pastor Mark, some of your

29

thoughts on how do we navigate this?

30

Well, we were even talking about how

do we interpret the words in this

31

tweet and where is the responsibility

of the person who sent it out and

32

where's the responsibility on us

to think through it correctly?

33

I'd love to get some of

your thoughts on that.

34

Yeah.

35

The first thing I would say is that we

need to be praying about these things.

36

We, I think we can.

37

Easily forget to pray

for our nation's leaders.

38

Forget to pray for how we

should respond to people that

39

we talk to about these things.

40

We want to be a praying people.

41

And so I think even though it can

seem away from us and abstract

42

and it's in DC or it's in Austin,

whatever the situation is, I think

43

we need to begin by being, praying

people when it comes to these things.

44

God will give us wisdom.

45

To interact with our neighbors

on these conversations and know

46

what to say and how to say it.

47

He'll give us those things.

48

And he'll also, we know

this to be very true.

49

He'll also be very much involved in

what is happening in DC and he's very

50

much involved in what is happening

in Donald Trump's heart, or Nancy

51

Pelosi's heart or whoever it is.

52

He's the one who has that

authority and that control.

53

So it begins with that.

54

Now, I don't.

55

Mean that as a cop out, I mean that

genuinely as one of the first things that

56

we need to respond to these things with.

57

But just.

58

In terms of the specifics of the

situation, I think we have to be

59

able to call out what is not good

about somebody in a way that's

60

gracious and kind and honest.

61

I think if we fall into kind of a

camp mentality where we agree with

62

everything, a particular camp says

just on its face, we're gonna end up.

63

Saying things or being complicit

with things we don't agree with.

64

Mm-hmm.

65

Because there's gonna be people like

Donald Trump who are Republicans and maybe

66

you voted Republican, who are gonna say

things that he shouldn't have said or that

67

you wouldn't say or you shouldn't say.

68

And so I think we need

to be people who are.

69

Are critical in a godly way when

it comes to this particular tweet.

70

I think interpreting what

he said is difficult.

71

I think he, you could make the argument

that he is using language that is

72

annihilistic and uses logic and morality

that would permit other atrocities

73

like abortion to be permissible.

74

You could make that argument.

75

You could also make the argument that he's

using the language that the enemy would.

76

Would make.

77

And I think there was a tweet

that we saw that referenced that,

78

right, he's using terminology and

language that the enemy would use.

79

Does that mean it's the

right thing to do or not?

80

And how do you interpret?

81

That becomes a big question.

82

There's a lot to be said, but

maybe that's a initial stab at it.

83

What do you think Pastor pj?

84

Yeah I agree with what you're saying here.

85

And the other thing too and I often say

this during election season too, you have

86

to carry your Christianity into the polls.

87

You are gonna give an answer on.

88

Judgment day for how you wielded

your vote and what you voted

89

for, what you voted against.

90

I think we also need to carry

our Christianity into our news

91

timelines and news feeds and

social media timelines as well.

92

And understand there, just like

there are no perfect pastors, there

93

are no perfect politicians, and.

94

And so you don't have to, it's okay.

95

You can stand for things that the Bible

is behind and condones that our current

96

administration is also supporting.

97

You can stand for all that and

yet still speak out against

98

something that Right somebody in

our current administration does.

99

I agree with you.

100

I think there's an enough ambiguity

about this tweet that he sent

101

out on Tuesday that it's okay.

102

Is there some Machiavellian,

echoes behind this.

103

Is he?

104

Playing chess when we're all thinking

checkers is what's going on here.

105

But I do think it's okay for us to say,

okay I can vote along party lines in one

106

area and not necessarily agree with all

the representatives of my party and admit

107

when somebody in my party does something

that's wrong, I should call that out and

108

be willing to say, yeah, you're right.

109

That's simple.

110

We do ourselves no favors as witnesses.

111

With the lost world when somebody

who's an unbeliever who maybe is on

112

the other side of the political aisle,

points the finger at our candidate, so

113

to speak, and says, this guy did this

or said this or acted this way and we

114

try to downplay that or cover it under,

sweep under the rug, like, oh yeah,

115

but that's no big deal or whatever.

116

No, we need to.

117

Understand that we're dealing with sinners

on both sides of the electoral aisle and

118

when we try to justify sin, it really

undermines our gospel witness with people.

119

And we need to be careful not

to do that a hundred percent.

120

I think that's exactly right.

121

And I think we also need to, at the

same time, not be overly, well, I

122

don't know exactly how to put this.

123

We need to go out and vote.

124

We need to vote.

125

Yes.

126

That is part of what.

127

Being a good steward in the United

States, being a citizen in the United

128

States is and going out and vote.

129

Voting can be a challenge.

130

Yeah.

131

Right.

132

Because you're gonna

be voting for a sinner.

133

You're gonna be voting for somebody who.

134

Even if they're a Christian, will

fall at moments to sin and they're

135

gonna make mistakes and they're

not going to do everything the way

136

that King Jesus will one day do it.

137

But we still need to be people

who go out there mm-hmm.

138

There and vote even knowing that these

candidates we're voting for are gonna

139

be flawed and are gonna make mistakes.

140

And we need to be shrewd.

141

We need to be wise, and we need to

navigate the broken world that we're in.

142

As best we can.

143

Mm-hmm.

144

And that's why it begins with prayer.

145

I know the book of Boaz was

yesterday, but go back and look

146

at how Boaz navigates mm-hmm.

147

A broken world, right?

148

Mm-hmm.

149

He doesn't he's stuck in some areas.

150

He can't perfectly obey the law,

but he's, I think, seeking to do

151

it to the best extent possible

given the situation he's in.

152

And in a similar way.

153

As Christians today in the United

154

Mm-hmm.

155

And do the best with the

stewardship that God has given us.

156

And I do think that includes voting.

157

Yeah.

158

Yeah.

159

Yeah, I think that's good.

160

That's good.

161

If you've got questions on those

things, feel free to write 'em in.

162

We don't mean to muddy

the waters or anything.

163

So, if you've got questions

about what we're saying, shoot

164

us an email podcast@compasstx.org

165

and we'd be happy to get to them.

166

But that said, let's jump into

our Bible reading for today.

167

We're in First and second Samuel,

well, not first and second Samuel.

168

Just first Samuel one through three.

169

And Luke chapter 12.

170

That would be a lot of reading.

171

12.

172

That would be a lot of reading.

173

Not a possible, but a lot of reading.

174

Yeah.

175

Luke chapter 12 one through I think 34.

176

Yeah.

177

First Samuel is again, probably

penned by its namesake, Samuel.

178

We're not entirely sure, but

Samuel does die at one point in it.

179

And so it's not maybe that the whole

thing is, but Samuel's a key figure.

180

And what this does is it reminds us that

during the time of judges, 'cause that's

181

what's still kind of happening around

this time, that there was still some.

182

Genuine worship of God taking place

even in the opening chapter here.

183

Now I don't think Elana is necessarily

totally upstanding after all, he

184

has these two wives, which again,

anytime we see polygamy in the

185

Old Testament, we have to remember

this is not being commanded by God.

186

This is something that is taken place.

187

And so God is not condoning this.

188

And in fact, what you see here

is the fallout of what happens

189

when a man has two wives.

190

This is not a good situation.

191

As the chapter opens in chapter

one, you find that one wife has

192

children and the other wife being.

193

Samuel's mother, eventual mother,

Hannah is Baron and Pastor Mark

194

you've talked about barrenness with

key figures in the Old Testament.

195

I'll let you touch on that

in just a second here.

196

But this leads to relational

tension in the home, and this

197

even leads to Kinau showing favor

to Hannah over his other wife.

198

And it leads to his other wife being

jealous of Hannah and mocking her,

199

and that this is not a good situation.

200

And so I don't think we read

this and say, oh, look at the

201

Bible's, condoning polygamy here.

202

I think rather the Bible is

holding this up, saying, this

203

isn't how it's supposed to work.

204

This isn't happening in,

in a way that's good.

205

Hannah, though, seems to be a woman

who is in whatever reason she's in

206

this marriage with a another, with

Elkin, I, she seems to be a woman

207

who does have a devotion to the Lord.

208

And we see that as in the midst of her

barrenness, she turns to the Lord in

209

desperation and asks the Lord to remove

this bareness to give her a child.

210

And she even, I think in great

humility, but this even shows the

211

weightiness of the shame of being.

212

Yeah, because she's even willing

to say, Lord, if you give me a

213

child, I'll give him back to you.

214

It's not even so much that she wants

the child to have the Instagram

215

moments, with the child wrapped

up and Yeah, that's a good point.

216

Being held in the arms and stuff's.

217

Good point.

218

She wants freedom from the shame

of barrenness so much that she's

219

saying, Lord, if you give me a child,

I will release him back to you.

220

I will devote him to your service.

221

So why don't you pick up and talk a

little bit about the barrenness theme.

222

Yeah.

223

Barrenness is absolutely a theme

throughout the Old Testament and I think.

224

Well, let me just say this, if

infertility is something that you

225

struggle with, you are in great company

with some of the great absolutely.

226

Women of scripture and, god understands

your plight and he loves you,

227

and he loves these women, right?

228

He loves Hannah.

229

He loves many of these women.

230

And the wages of sin is death.

231

And one of the ways that sin has infected

our world is even in the womb, right?

232

The womb is supposed to be this place

of protection and nurture, and it.

233

It because of sin is not for some, but.

234

One of the things that's incredible

about these stories of barren women is

235

that it is God who restores life, right?

236

God brings back life to

the dead brings back life.

237

Hannah's not actually dead, right?

238

Mm-hmm.

239

But he brings life to someone

who is in all practical ways, at

240

least in this society and in the

culture, and the expectations dead.

241

Even going back to Judges chapter

21, remember the story of.

242

Of the daughter and how she comes

out of the house and then she goes

243

and laments her virgin virginity.

244

Virginity.

245

Right.

246

Which is not in that sense it's not

the same way we would understand it.

247

What she's lamenting is

that she isn't a mom.

248

Right.

249

That's a theme that you

see over and over and over.

250

So it is God though, who brings the.

251

The life, even Ruth,

we gotta, I love Ruth.

252

Sorry, gotta go back to Ruth, right?

253

Ruth is barren.

254

Mm-hmm.

255

Right.

256

Ruth is barren for several reasons.

257

One of them being that

her husband is dead.

258

But again, God brings life.

259

Mm-hmm.

260

And the hope we have is

that God brings life to us.

261

Right?

262

Yeah.

263

That he brings life to dead hearts,

to, to bodies that are decaying

264

because of the effects of sin.

265

And what an amazing thing this is.

266

One of the people who I'm most excited

to meet in the Bible is Hannah, actually.

267

I'm excited to meet her.

268

Yeah.

269

Because of who she represents.

270

Yeah.

271

But, and also, and I know I'm

jumping a little bit ahead of

272

where you are, that's fine.

273

But because of her line that she

used to make him a little robe

274

and take it to him each year.

275

Yeah.

276

What a precious thing.

277

Heartwarming.

278

Yeah.

279

Heartwarming.

280

So anyways, hopefully that's helpful.

281

Yeah, no, for sure.

282

And in chapter two, we have

Hannah's song and there's some

283

parallels between Hannah's song

and Mary's song in Luke chapter.

284

One Mary's Magnificat.

285

And so some have drawn parallels

there to show there's some similar

286

themes that emerge from both of them

from Hannah and from Mary there.

287

And that just I think, speaks to the

robustness of Hannah's faith and awareness

288

and knowledge and understanding of God.

289

And God honors that you contrast.

290

Hannah with the current

state of the priesthood.

291

Now, Eli was, yeah, Eli he's an ambiguous

figure because on the one hand I believe

292

that he's doing things appropriately, but

on the other hand, he's failed as a dad.

293

And we know that because he's got these

two sons that we read about in chapter

294

two who are disobedient and unfaithful

to the Lord, and he confronts them at

295

one point because they're doing things

that are pagan and horrific and immoral.

296

And he says, you need to stop

doing this, but their heart.

297

Hearts were hardened by the Lord

because the Lord had already

298

determined to put them to death.

299

They had already Romans one been

turned over to their sinful ways

300

and God was gonna judge them.

301

And so Eli, and that's gonna come up

later on, but Eli is a unique figure here.

302

And so even as Samuel is gonna eventually

be entrusted by Hannah to Eli's care in

303

the sanctuary there in the tabernacle,

it's one of those situations where you

304

just think to yourself, okay, Lord,

you're the one that's gonna ultimately be

305

responsible for the upbringing of Samuel

and for his development here, because Eli

306

did not do that well with his own sons.

307

And maybe he took more of an interest

in Samuel because he does seem.

308

To be somewhat attuned because in

chapter three, the Lord is gonna

309

call Samuel and Samuel goes to Eli

multiple times, and then finally

310

Eli, the light bulb goes on for him.

311

And what's interesting is it said

earlier in the text the word of

312

the Lord was rare in those days.

313

So that's why Eli's not

immediately thinking, oh, this

314

is God calling you Samuel.

315

But then eventually it gets through to

Eli and he says, oh, okay, something's

316

and we're meant to see that Samuel's

different because the word of the

317

Lord, it was rare in those days, but

then it says the word of the Lord.

318

The Lord called Samuel, the

word of the Lord came to Samuel.

319

So this is a turning point, and I

think we're meant to see that this

320

is a pivot point and the whole course

of what's been happening in judges

321

all the way through what's about to

happen in the reign of the kings.

322

Yeah, absolutely.

323

And what an amazing thing that God

intervenes in the trajectory of

324

Israel by calling out this little boy.

325

Yep, yep.

326

His plan of salvation is to

call out to this little boy.

327

Mm-hmm.

328

And.

329

To call him to do great things for

his kingdom, the kingdom of Israel,

330

but ultimately hi his kingdom.

331

Yeah.

332

What an amazing thing.

333

Yeah.

334

God uses people who you

don't always expect, right?

335

He uses the weak to shame the strong.

336

Right.

337

He uses the meek to shame the proud,

and that's what he's doing here.

338

Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure.

339

And his calling comes with a

prophecy that he probably wasn't

340

too eager to go and share with

Eli but Eli of Jersey no kidding.

341

And says, Hey, tell me what the Lord said.

342

And so he, he does.

343

And Eli says, okay, may it

be as the Lord has said.

344

But yeah, the calling of Samuel for

Samuel chapter one through three.

345

I like the books of

First and second Samuel.

346

I like the Reign of the Kings.

347

It gets interesting real fast.

348

Yeah.

349

There are great books for practical

application and for a history of the

350

people of Israel giving you context

and depth into some of these things.

351

And also calling us to have great hope.

352

In the future King.

353

Right.

354

Obviously there's some hope that

can be found in King David, but

355

ultimately this is calling us to the

hope that can be found in King Jesus.

356

Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure.

357

Well, let's go to Luke chapter 12, one

through 34 today, Luke 12, one through 34.

358

Jesus is talking to his

disciples now and he's going to.

359

Encourage them.

360

Urge them to be aware of the 11 of

the Pharisees, the 11 of the Pharisees

361

being the teaching of the Pharisees.

362

And he says something interesting here.

363

He says in verse two,

nothing is covered up.

364

That will not be revealed or

hidden, that will not be known.

365

Now remember, he's just been referring

to the hypocrisy of the Pharisees.

366

He's just been calling

them whitewashed tombs.

367

He's just even in Matthew's Gospel talked

about how they clean the outside of the

368

cup, but inside they're full of decay.

369

That's not visible to the human eye.

370

To the human eye.

371

Everybody looking at the Pharisees

looked at them and thought,

372

man, these are the guys, right?

373

They have it all together.

374

They're the cream of the crop.

375

And here Jesus is telling his

disciples, beware of their teaching.

376

Nothing that is hidden will stay hidden.

377

It's going to come to light.

378

And so I think he's continuing to say.

379

Their hypocrisy will one day be

shown for what it is and that

380

may be on the day of judgment.

381

That may be before the day of judgment.

382

Who knows?

383

But it will come to light.

384

And then he gives this chilling

statement when he says, you know what?

385

You don't need to fear

those who can kill the body.

386

And after that, I have

nothing that they can do.

387

Rather, I want you to fear him

who after he has killed, has

388

the authority to cast into hell.

389

Yes, I tell you, fear him.

390

And so I think Jesus' message here is,

don't do what you do for the plaza.

391

Men don't be so concerned with the.

392

Outward appearance in

what men think of you.

393

'cause what can they do?

394

Well, the most they can do to you if

you, they don't like you, is kill you.

395

But fear the one that has the

authority, not only to kill you,

396

but then to cast you into hell.

397

This gives us some insight 'cause other

passages, another version of this same

398

statement says who after he kills you, has

the authority to destroy the you in hell.

399

But here.

400

We see that this is not about the

destruction in terms of annihilationism,

401

but the casting into hell, the

destruction that is the eternal

402

death of suffering under hell.

403

And so this is a sanctifying passage

here, motivation for a life of

404

integrity as opposed to motivation

for a life of hypocrisy, which is only

405

concerned with the applause of men.

406

Yeah, absolutely.

407

And the sad thing in evangelical circles.

408

In the United States this, these days is

that there is quite a bit of hypocrisy.

409

There is quite a bit of people who,

quite a few people who who live

410

dark lives and appear to be living

great lives, holy lives, righteous

411

lives on the outward face of it all.

412

How do we as Christians.

413

Deal with that.

414

Right?

415

There's people we follow.

416

I think of like Ravi Zacharias, right?

417

Who not until his death,

everybody was eager to follow him.

418

How do we approach those things

and hypocrisy in our day, right?

419

Yeah.

420

We recognize that one day all

of these things will be brought

421

to light, but how do we wrestle

with that as Christians today?

422

Yeah.

423

One of the.

424

Disadvantages we have is that we

live in the celebrity pastor culture

425

where you've got these guys that are

on Instagram reels and you've got

426

'em on YouTube and you've got 'em on

podcasts and they're doing conference

427

tours and speaking all over the place.

428

And it's different than any

other period in church history.

429

You didn't have that.

430

You had your local pastor,

and that was the one that was

431

your main voice in your life.

432

And so we've put all these guys up

on pedestals, and then when they

433

fall, their fall is that much worse

because we have given them such

434

a large platform to begin with.

435

Mm-hmm.

436

And thought wrongly.

437

Mm-hmm.

438

Even about them, that these are

men that are above and beyond sin.

439

They're not, I'm not justifying

what they've done in their fall.

440

Not justifying that at all.

441

I'm simply saying.

442

We've created some of the disenchantment

ourselves by idolizing men.

443

And so here's what I'd say you

follow a man who points you to Christ

444

because he points you to Christ.

445

You, you follow a man who teaches

you the Bible because he teaches you

446

the Bible, not because of who he is.

447

Yeah.

448

If he.

449

Leaves if he goes away.

450

You wanna be sitting under the

teaching of somebody that you would

451

say at the end of the day, this

teaching is true because it's true.

452

According to the word of God.

453

If he goes away, nothing has changed

about the truth of what he's teaching.

454

Now you also want to sit under

a man that you can trust.

455

You don't wanna just blindly go, oh,

well this guy's teaching solid Bible.

456

Who cares about it as his personal life?

457

No, it's not that either, but.

458

If you can make your foundation the

teaching in God's word, then when a pastor

459

falls or sins against you or disappoints

you, you're not gonna be completely

460

undone because your foundation is God's

word, not the man preaching God's word.

461

That's a great point.

462

That's a great point.

463

And to some extent, the Pharisees were.

464

We're like that in their day, right?

465

Yeah.

466

And they were the ones who were

leading people astray, which is

467

what prompts Jesus to give these

warnings and to give this instruction.

468

For sure, for sure.

469

I love also in our reading in

verse 22, he addresses anxiety.

470

And I think anxiety is one of those, if

I can put it this way, one of those off

471

limit sins that we're not allowed to

talk about because everybody's anxious.

472

And now we've got medications for anxiety.

473

And, don't call anxiety a sin because

then you know you're gonna offend

474

people if you call anxiety a sin.

475

I understand that and I'm not arguing

that every ounce of anxiety is sinful.

476

Paul said he was anxious about

the wellbeing of churches.

477

So I do believe there's

an an uns sinful anxiety.

478

But what I appreciate about Jesus

is that Jesus tackles anxiety with

479

logic, and he does so in verse 22.

480

He says, therefore, I tell you,

don't be anxious about your life.

481

What you're gonna eat or about your body,

what you'll put on for life is more than

482

food in the body, more than clothing.

483

Here comes the logic.

484

Consider the ravens.

485

They don't sow.

486

They don't reap, they have

neither storehouse nor barn,

487

and yet God feeds them.

488

How much more valuable are you

than the birds, and which of you by

489

being an anxious can add a single

hour to the span of his life?

490

The answer to that is

nobody, not a single person.

491

So Jesus is tackling anxiety like Paul

tells us to in Philippians four, eight.

492

With that which is true.

493

And that's what I love here.

494

He's saying this is the cure for

anxiety is to come back to what is true

495

anxiety feeds and grows and thrives in

the realm of the what if in the lies.

496

And if you can come back to the land

of what's true and what's actually

497

real right now, that is one of the

greatest resources and weapons you have

498

against anxiety that you will ever find.

499

And I think we see that from

500

And notice what Jesus commands us to do.

501

He commands us in verse 31 to

seek his kingdom, and these things

502

will be added to you, right?

503

Right.

504

There's a promise that he's gonna

take care of you in material ways.

505

Now we obviously have to

understand what that means.

506

That doesn't mean.

507

That we're gonna have every

possession we could possibly imagine.

508

In fact, we're gonna see the condemnation

of possessions throughout the New

509

Testament and throughout the gospels.

510

Yeah.

511

Just as a thing in and of themselves.

512

But isn't that amazing that if we are

obedient to seek his kingdom first

513

right, then he's gonna take care of us.

514

Just like he takes care of the Ravens,

just like he takes care of the.

515

Of the lilies in the fields.

516

That is a good promise from God that he's

given you and ought to relieve anxiety

517

that you might feel even this coming day.

518

Amen.

519

Amen.

520

Well, hey, let's pray and then

we'll be done with this episode

521

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

522

Lord, there are plenty of things

to make us anxious in this life.

523

Plenty of things to get our

eyes off of the kingdom.

524

Plenty of pursuits that we can

chase after that aren't the kingdom.

525

So I pray that you'd help us too.

526

Follow after you to truly give ourselves

over to pursuing that what you want us

527

to pursue, to be consumed with that,

to be so consumed with what you have

528

for us, that we don't have time to be

anxious about the other things, and that

529

what we'll find as we stop and consider

is that you've been providing for us.

530

All along that as we look back on

our lives sometimes as we talk about

531

with 2020 Vision, we see how you have

orchestrated all things together for

532

our good, like your word promises.

533

And yet, sometimes in the present,

it's so hard for us to trust that.

534

And so give us the opportunity to remember

how you've come through for us in the

535

past, how you will come through for us

right now, and how you always promise

536

to be faithful to us no matter what.

537

Let us live with that sense of abandon.

538

Of just complete trust in you

to say, we're gonna follow you.

539

We're gonna do what you have us to do,

for us to do until you call us home.

540

And so, Lord, we thank you for your

word and how it instructs us, how it

541

shapes us, how it molds us, how it

conforms us more to the image of Christ.

542

We pray this all in Jesus' name.

543

Amen.

544

Amen.
