What's up folks?

3

It's Wednesday and man, it's Men's Retreat

Week and we are so stoked for this.

4

It's gonna be an amazing weekend.

5

If you're not signed up, men,

I don't know what to tell you.

6

Yeah, I don't think we're, we can't

sign up anymore, so we can't sign up

7

anymore, but we're gonna miss you.

8

Like we wish you that

you were gonna be there.

9

We'll come back and we'll try

to convey that it was an awesome

10

time and you totally missed out

on an amazing time out there.

11

But we'll do more of these.

12

This is not gonna be the last one

by any stretch of the imagination,

13

but we are stoked for this weekend.

14

It's gonna be a great time.

15

We are, and part of what's gonna be so

exciting is that we're gonna spend a

16

lot of time doing fun stuff together,

as long as the weather holds out.

17

I remember last time we got rained

in, but hopefully the weather

18

is accommodating this year.

19

But we like this place.

20

This place is a really nice place.

21

The food's good.

22

The location is beautiful.

23

There's lots of, it, it doesn't

feel like Texas in some ways.

24

It's actually very pretty

in a lot of good ways.

25

Shots fired on the host of Texas.

26

I'm fine.

27

We live in North Texas where there's

not a lot going on, so I'm not saying

28

anything no one else knows about.

29

It's just true.

30

In California there's a lot more to

look at and here at this camp Mount

31

Lebanon Baptist Camp, there is a

lot to look at and it's beautiful.

32

So hope you can make it

if you're coming along.

33

If not, I think we'll be back here

again next year, if I'm not mistaken.

34

We'll see how it goes.

35

Yeah.

36

But we loved it last time.

37

Yeah.

38

Our ladies are going down

there for women's retreat.

39

Oh.

40

'cause we hiked up October.

41

So much.

42

October.

43

Yeah.

44

So they're saying, we want in,

we wanna do this thing too.

45

They're gonna like it.

46

They will like it.

47

Yeah.

48

Hey, we got a lot going on.

49

Don't forget, we are moving our location's

coming up in just about two weeks here.

50

We've got two more Sundays down in Frisco,

and then we're gonna be up in Prosper.

51

Wow.

52

And we know that's not

great news for everybody.

53

We got some people driving from a

little bit further away already.

54

And this maybe extends the drive

for a few people out there.

55

And, hey, we love you and we are

not trying to tell you, we don't

56

want you to be a part of our church.

57

We just want you to drive

a little bit further.

58

That's all.

59

But we know that this is gonna be a

great move for the majority of our people

60

and it also sets us up into the mission

field that we're wanting to be a part of.

61

We've done Pride in the Sky on the 4th

of July with Prosper around the 4th of

62

July with Prosper for the past two years.

63

Three years.

64

Two years.

65

Two years.

66

Two years now.

67

Yeah.

68

This will be our third year this year.

69

And it's always felt a little

bit of a disconnect 'cause

70

we're this church in Frisco?

71

Yeah.

72

That's doing an event up in Prosper.

73

But we tried to get in the Frisco, 4th

of July one, and it was, they're like

74

no cost prohibitive and just massive.

75

Don't like this, guys

don't want you to do it.

76

So this is great because we're gonna be

able to be there this year and connect

77

people to a church that's in prosper.

78

That's right.

79

And so it's just an answer to prayer.

80

It's gonna be awesome.

81

And we can't wait to make this

transition, make this move.

82

We just think it's gonna be

good for our church body.

83

Yeah.

84

I tell people that are moving all

the time before you move, make sure

85

you're researching a good church.

86

Yeah.

87

A lot of people think that you can

just go anywhere, throw a dart at

88

a map, and then wherever your DART

lands, you're gonna find a really good

89

Bible teaching church in that place.

90

And that's just not true.

91

Not anymore.

92

There's not good churches

everywhere you go.

93

Yeah.

94

Which means then at minimum, you should

think long and hard about where you move

95

in relation to a good local Bible teaching

God-fearing gospel preaching church.

96

And if that's you if you found

yourself a good Bible teaching church,

97

man, don't take that for granted.

98

They're just not everywhere.

99

And secondly, a good Bible teaching

church is worth moving forward.

100

I'm gonna, I'm gonna put my money

down and say that loud and proud.

101

A good Bible teaching church is worth.

102

Moving for.

103

Yep.

104

And there's a couple in our area.

105

We're not the only guys in town.

106

We're not the only shop doing this, but

man, if you find a good church a church

107

that you love, a church that loves you,

they teach the Bible, they're faithful,

108

man, that's worth investing your family

into, even if that means a temporary,

109

smaller house or a temporary cut and pay.

110

It's worth it.

111

Yeah.

112

It's gonna pay itself off in dividends.

113

Yeah.

114

We have one family in our church.

115

I won't put them on blast on the

podcast that, that made that decision.

116

They actually moved from outta state

here because they found us online.

117

They were coming out of another church

background, church denomination that was

118

not as, as faithful to the word and they.

119

Started listening to us and we're

like, man we need a solid bible church.

120

And so they moved here to be a

part of what, what's going on with

121

our church and that's awesome.

122

And that, that doesn't compute even

when we tell people about our church

123

plant and they're, they ask, but

there's a thousand churches here.

124

That, and or they'll say, so did

you start in your living room?

125

It's no, we didn't have to.

126

We came with 75 people from California.

127

Yeah.

128

And they're going, wait a minute.

129

They sold their house.

130

They moved from California out here.

131

Yep.

132

And it's, yeah they're behind what we're

doing, reaching, teaching, training.

133

They're behind trying to do all this.

134

Where's Mark going with all that trash?

135

I don't know.

136

He is walked by the office

with all of this cardboard.

137

He's that cardboard and

Amazon plastic bags.

138

He just looks like a hobo.

139

I think he's camping outside.

140

He might be.

141

Anyways.

142

Yeah, so find a good church.

143

Hopefully if you're part of

our church you check the box.

144

You're done on that one.

145

You're done.

146

You can stay here and and

be a part of this, but yeah.

147

Yeah.

148

Don't assume they're everywhere.

149

No.

150

Good church.

151

Not plentiful.

152

Nope.

153

Nope.

154

Let's jump into our scripture

reading for the day.

155

We have just come off of the heels

of a downer passage with David and

156

Bathsheba in the fall of David in

the fallout from David and Bathsheba.

157

And so now we're gonna turn to the Psalms.

158

A lot of them that were reading,

probably written around the same time.

159

In fact, we know for sure at least

one of them was written right

160

on the heels of this sin with

Bathsheba and Nathan confrontation.

161

But first we start in Psalm 32, and

the reason why these are here is

162

because of the themes of forgiveness.

163

And mercy.

164

And so David would've been very

keenly aware of his need for, and

165

just appreciative of God's mercy in

the wake of his sin and the wake of

166

the confrontation with with Nathan.

167

And so Psalm 32, we get

the Psalm of repentance.

168

Repentance is a word we throw around a

lot, but it's really a an about face.

169

It's what the word meant in

the Greek la language metanoia.

170

It was to do an about face.

171

It was the command given to the army.

172

They're marching in one direction.

173

They needed to go the other direction.

174

They were to repent in that.

175

And so that, that's what it is to

repent from sin, is to be moving

176

towards our sin and to do an about

faced, to turn our backs on our sin.

177

I the Bible will use the metaphor.

178

I think it does a couple

of times of negatively.

179

Casting God's word behind the

back, and they'll talk about that

180

in the sense of this is an act of

disobedience from the people of God.

181

Repentance is taking our sin

and casting our sin behind our

182

back saying, you know what?

183

I'm not gonna go after this anymore.

184

I'm gonna be done with it.

185

Two Corinthians seven.

186

Paul describes a godly repentance

and so this is David's prayer

187

of repentance here, and he is.

188

Describing initially the weight of sin,

the burden of unconfessed sin, and then

189

the blessing that came when he brought

a sin into the light when he, verse

190

five, acknowledged his sin to the Lord,

didn't cover his iniquity anymore, and

191

sought forgiveness from the Lord and the

joy that was even given to him in that.

192

And so this is a psalm about repentance

and confession, but it also carries

193

these notes of joy and happiness

all the way through to the final

194

verse, this relief that comes with

true repentance and forgiveness.

195

Yeah.

196

And this is something that a

Christian starts but never finishes.

197

There is an initial confession

and repentance to access our faith

198

for the first time, or at least

to apply our faith for the first

199

time as we put our trust in Christ.

200

But this is the life of the Christian.

201

Confession and repentance is not something

that we do only to become a Christian.

202

This is what it looks

like to live every day.

203

As a Christian, this is what

it means to be in Christ.

204

Now it is not hypocritical

for Christians to sin.

205

It is hypocritical for us not to

confess our sin and to repent of it.

206

And therefore, David's confession

here and his repentance in

207

Psalm 32 is really good for you.

208

Now, maybe something worth putting down

into your prayer journal as a means to

209

prompt the kind of response that you

want from your heart on an ongoing basis.

210

Notice though in verse three, how

taxing it is to hide your sin.

211

He says, when I kept silent, my bones

were wasted away through my groaning

212

all day long for day and night.

213

Your hand was heavy upon me.

214

My strength was dried up

as by the heat of summer.

215

Man, I know about that verse more

than I ever have in my whole life.

216

When I go outside and it's 115 degree

day in North Texas, I feel like I'm

217

going to die after five minutes.

218

It's just so oppressive.

219

I feel like the heat of summer,

just like a hand just squashing

220

me from above the heat of summer.

221

Awful.

222

David says that's what it feels

like to hide your sin from God,

223

even though you're not hiding.

224

It truly, God sees it all.

225

He knows it all.

226

When we have unconfessed sin, there is a.

227

Physical a physical weariness

that comes because of that.

228

So I would encourage you to do what

David does make it a practice to

229

say, man I want to be right with you.

230

I want my transgression forgiven.

231

I want my sin covered.

232

And more than David did, we have a

better understanding of what this is

233

because of Jesus taking our sin for us.

234

Yeah, it's a grace of God.

235

That burden that you feel shame,

conviction, guilt is a, it's a

236

grace of God that he gives us the

ability to feel those things when we

237

sin, because that's indicative of.

238

Indicative of the fact that

we've done something wrong.

239

And even when an unbeliever feels

guilt, it is the natural law of

240

God written upon their heart.

241

It is that idea that they have wronged,

they have crossed a line, they've

242

done something that is morally wrong.

243

And this is one of the arguments

for the existence of God the moral

244

argument that is that how do they

know what is right and what is wrong?

245

If God doesn't exist, it's all arbitrary.

246

It is all subjective.

247

If God doesn't exist, the fact that God

does exist and the fact that they do feel

248

guilt when they sin, even an unbeliever

is evidence for the existence of God.

249

But as Christians, we know we can

appreciate that guilt and that

250

shame and that conviction even

more because it's a grace that God.

251

Provides for us through the spirit.

252

And the danger is, I think, as we

talked about even in our last episode

253

if you ignore that for too long if you

desensitize your heart to the conviction

254

of the spirit in regards to that, then

God could turn you over to that sin.

255

Don't want that, and you

don't want that at all.

256

That is, is certainly something

that we want to avoid.

257

What he says in verse six, offer a prayer.

258

To you at a time when you may be found.

259

There is a time when you can so harden

your heart that he may not be found.

260

Which is terrifying.

261

Which is absolutely terrifying.

262

And I think that kind of fear is a

God-fearing a good fear that God puts it

263

within us so that we might draw near him.

264

Yeah.

265

Yeah.

266

Psalm 51, then as we move along here, this

is the one that we know for sure because

267

it says right there in the title a Psalm

of David when Nathan, the prophet, went

268

to him after he had gone into Bathsheba.

269

So this is.

270

We are wondering to ourselves,

okay what is David thinking?

271

After his confrontation with Nathan,

he's thinking this, and he puts pen

272

to paper, quill to papyrus, chisel to

stone, whatever he had at the time.

273

And he crafted this song

of sorrow and repent.

274

It's a lot of similar themes to Psalm 32.

275

But this Psalm pleads over and

over again for cleansing that,

276

that, that's the common theme here,

the common word that David uses.

277

He feels the dirtiness of his sin.

278

And asks that God would cleanse

him, that God would purge

279

him that God would wash him.

280

And it begins with this plea

for God's mercy towards David.

281

And again, mercy, like we

talked about on Sunday, mercy

282

is not getting what we deserve.

283

We deserve to be the

burn mark on the ground.

284

And mercy is something that we

need not just at the moment of

285

salvation, but for our whole life.

286

We always need God's mercy in our life.

287

Like you were talking about

with repentance and mercy is.

288

An element of repentance.

289

The fact that we can repent is

a mercy of God, that he doesn't

290

just wipe us out right away.

291

And so here David is pleading for

mercy and connecting that mercy

292

with the idea of being cleansed.

293

Which is something that's, so I think

it it's something that we understand as

294

human beings that we, everybody loves

to go from being dirty to being clean.

295

You go outside.

296

Absolutely.

297

Yeah.

298

You sweat, like you're talking about

being out in the h the hot summer

299

heat and everything else like that.

300

Yeah.

301

You just, and you come back

home and you take a shower.

302

You just feel.

303

So much better.

304

Feel brand new.

305

You feel fresh, brand new you feel

like you can be around people.

306

That's there's a spiritual

cleansing that we can find in

307

Christ when we repent from our sins.

308

That is the imagery that's brought

forth in, in Psalm 51 here.

309

Oh, precious is the flow

that makes me wide AST snow.

310

Yeah, that's the one right here.

311

I.

312

I love it.

313

Yeah.

314

Psalm, do you want to, I think we've

hit this before, but just so that

315

we're aware here, David prays something

that, that is a believer is probably

316

not something that we should pray.

317

In fact, I would say it's not

something that we should pray.

318

And that is when he prays that God

would not remove his spirit from him.

319

That is not something that

is a believer is possible.

320

Verse 11, cast me not away from your

presence and take not your spirit from me.

321

When we think about.

322

Our standing before the Lord in

Paul says in Ephesians one, we've

323

been sealed with the Holy Spirit

as a guarantee of our inheritance.

324

As a believer, our relationship

with the Spirit is different than

325

David's relationship with the Spirit.

326

So the spirit could be removed

as it was from Saul, but not from

327

a New Testament era believer.

328

You and I have a different relationship

with the spirit of God, so that.

329

When we see this we shouldn't

pray like David does here.

330

Take not your Holy Spirit from me,

and God's never gonna take his Holy

331

Spirit from you if you're a believer.

332

The spirit is the seal, the guarantee

of your inheritance for the future.

333

So that's the one caveat here in

Psalm 51 that said maybe don't

334

echo that prayer specifically.

335

Yeah.

336

And just to be clear for the reason why

he remembered that what was going on in

337

this period of time, the spirit wasn't

in dwelling believers like he does today.

338

Now, that's a blessing

of the new covenant.

339

After Jesus ascended to the right

hand of the Father, he sends a spirit.

340

They're they're baptized by

the Spirit in the Spirit.

341

And now when someone becomes a

believer, Romans eight, you have

342

the spirit of God dwelling within

you here at this period of time.

343

Under the old covenant,

the spirit would transfer.

344

And maybe that's a, a.

345

That's not the best word, but

he would go from one person to

346

another, specifically for a work.

347

So you might think about Saul's

Saul forfeited his leadership over

348

Israel and consequently, God's

spirits left him in one Samuel 16.

349

It's a spirit enablement

for the work of something.

350

Whereas in under the new Covenant,

the spirit indwells us because

351

of our relationship to him

because of what the son has done.

352

Psalm 86 we're actually gonna be

seeing a part of Psalm 86 on Sunday.

353

Are we not?

354

That's right.

355

We are the the song is

Undivided, by the way.

356

Don't forget, we send

out our weekly email.

357

It goes out on Fridays,

but it's got our set list.

358

I don't know.

359

When do you update the Spotify set list?

360

Usually?

361

Usually Tuesdays.

362

Tuesdays, sometimes as soon as Sunday.

363

Yeah, if I'm feeling in the mood.

364

So by Tuesdays you should be able

to get on the Compass Antix Worship

365

Spotify playlist and see what we're

singing that weekend, and you can be

366

singing it all week long in preparation.

367

And so we'll be singing

Undivided, which is.

368

Based on Psalm 86.

369

Yeah let coming.

370

That's a good practice.

371

This is from David.

372

We see that in the title here.

373

And this one is a Psalm of commitment.

374

David committing himself to the Lord,

asking that gal would instruct him, teach

375

him to fear him to walk in all his ways.

376

So we don't have the context in the

title, but again, if we think about where

377

David's coming out of and we think about

what true repentance looks like, it makes

378

sense that this would be a follow up.

379

That David would come out of his sin,

out of being overcome by his lust, and

380

then his coverup, and then his murder of

Uriah truly repent and then set himself

381

here to say, God, I don't wanna be fully

committed to you, fully devoted to you.

382

I wanna follow you with

an undivided heart.

383

Teach me to your ways, oh Lord,

that I may walk in your truth,

384

unite my heart to fear your name.

385

This is Second Corinthians

seven, kind of repentance.

386

This is that I wanna clear myself.

387

I wanna have a, an eagerness.

388

I wanna vindicate myself.

389

I don't want this sin to

be around me ever again.

390

And so here David is saying, rather than

following myself, rather than having a

391

heart that's divided between my flesh

and you, Lord, I want you and you alone.

392

And so he's committing

himself to that in Psalm 86.

393

Something so good for us to pray

daily, honestly, just to say, God

394

my default is not to follow you.

395

My default is to have a divided

heart, not undivided heart.

396

And so every single morning, every single

day, I wanna arise and I wanna pray.

397

God, teach me your way.

398

Then I may walk in your truth.

399

Gimme a, an undivided heart to follow you.

400

Yeah.

401

This whole psalm is comprehensive

in that David is praying to God.

402

There's a ton of

imperatives in this psalm.

403

Psalm 86 is basically David

saying, please do this.

404

And he's covering his whole life

with prayer from start to finish.

405

Mourning to evening is saying, please.

406

Do these things in me.

407

I want to do them.

408

I know I should do them.

409

Help me do them Lord.

410

Give ear, preserve me.

411

Be gracious to me.

412

Glad in my soul.

413

Answer me.

414

Teach me.

415

Unite my heart.

416

Turn to me.

417

Be gracious to me.

418

Save me.

419

Show me.

420

All these things.

421

David is begging God to do the things

that he knows we're responsible to do.

422

And yet an aware believer understands

God has to do it through me.

423

I'm not even strong enough to make

myself will these things or to want

424

these things, but ultimately, God's

the one who does it through us.

425

Like the robot suit.

426

Like the robot suit from Sunday.

427

That illustration about The xl.

428

Oh yeah.

429

The robot.

430

Yeah.

431

That's cool man.

432

Yeah, that's a good illustration.

433

I figured you the cave too.

434

Or that, not the key, the tunnel.

435

Tunnel.

436

That's the one I meant.

437

The Riri Ilka.

438

Yeah.

439

When I put that, when I was like, I'm

gonna butcher that when I go to preach it.

440

And I did, I butchered it.

441

Did you?

442

The pronunciation of the word.

443

Oh, okay.

444

I did look up on Google,

how to pronounce it.

445

Did you practice?

446

It's Riri, Ilka, RKA.

447

But then I'm sure the Norwegians

say it in a much more Norwegian way.

448

Yeah.

449

Psalm 1 22.

450

Song of a Sense.

451

And so you gonna sniff the microphone

again, like there it is of David.

452

And and this one is interesting

'cause it's all about Jerusalem.

453

And so it's as they're going up to worship

the Lord in Jerusalem, they're going to

454

be praying for Jerusalem, they're gonna

be praying for the safety of Jerusalem.

455

They're gonna be.

456

Praising the quality of Jerusalem.

457

And it's not just because Jerusalem's

so great, but because this is where

458

the Lord chose to make his named dwell

and his presence once the temple gets

459

built, especially in Solomon's era.

460

But here, David's even anticipating that

beforehand, that the the tent with the

461

Ark of the Covenant had been moved there.

462

And so they're praying for that.

463

The line there, verse six, pray

for the peace of Jerusalem pr.

464

Is that something that we should be doing?

465

Should we be praying for

the peace of Jerusalem?

466

I do.

467

And that's because I'm a

good dispensationalist.

468

I think God's not done with Jerusalem yet.

469

So we do pray for those guys.

470

In fact, you'll see a pretty

clear dividing line between people

471

that do believe what we believe.

472

There's not a ton of us, there's not

a ton of dispensationalist online,

473

especially on Twitter or X rather.

474

But I do, and granted, I.

475

I don't know that this is the best

text to say, this is why I do it.

476

But the principle of praying for Jerusalem

and her peace is something that I do.

477

And because ultimately I want God to

do a great thing for himself and his

478

glory and his honor by protecting

her, preserving her, and ultimately

479

drawing people back to himself who are

part of Israel, ethnic Israel that God

480

promises someday will, they will return.

481

So let's talk about that

for a second, because the.

482

There's in, and it's a hideous sect within

the, I use this term very loosely with

483

scare quotes, Christianity that's falling

back almost into a, a nazim anti-Semitic.

484

Yeah, totally anti-Semitic.

485

And they're trying to say, look,

as Christians, we should have no

486

affection for the Jews because

they don't worship our God.

487

Our God is a Trinitarian God.

488

They reject Jesus.

489

And so thereby they don't worship the

same God that we do, they crucify Jesus.

490

And so we should have

no affection for them.

491

We should not be supporting them.

492

We should not be defending them.

493

And they've even carried that

over into a racism against them.

494

And so as Christians.

495

How do we think about that?

496

Even if we're not dispensationalist?

497

I mean that we wouldn't say

that about anybody, right?

498

We wouldn't look at the Muslims and

be like we wanna wipe them off the

499

face of the earth because they don't

worship the same God that we do.

500

Our hearts should be broken for

them evangelistically, and we should

501

want to reach them with the gospel.

502

And I think even with the Jewish people

today, we should have the same approach.

503

We should say, man we want them

to repent and believe in Jesus.

504

We sure do.

505

And one day we think they will by,

by large numbers in the future.

506

But if you've been seeing any of

these posts about the antisemitism

507

and you've even been lured by some

of it, just know that this is, it's

508

insidious, it's anti-God, it's anti

god's people, it's anti-biblical.

509

It's not something for us to

engage in as believers at all.

510

Yeah.

511

You gotta be careful out there.

512

There's so many ways that we can go

awry today, and especially because

513

people can make it sound so attractive

and intelligent and biblical even.

514

One of the challenges today especially

is that we have so much knowledge.

515

That wisdom is really the thing that

we're most urgently in need of right now.

516

Now, wisdom in that it takes more than

knowledge to make your case, but the

517

wisdom is, okay, what does it mean?

518

How do I apply it?

519

And how do I respond to some

of these charges online?

520

Because these guys can come across

sounding so oh, they're clearly biblical.

521

These guys know their bible.

522

Who's really good with this

Bible in the worst way possible.

523

Steven Anderson.

524

Yeah.

525

He's, he's got a lot of it memorized.

526

That's compelling.

527

Even as someone who knows his shtick

and understands some of the dangers

528

behind what he teaches, like the

guy knows his Bible and he's got

529

this great YouTube video even that

I watched about how to memorize your

530

Bible more effectively and it's.

531

Interesting insights, but it takes a

lot more wisdom on your part today to

532

discern the true from the almost true,

the good, from the better, from the best,

533

and perhaps the best way for you to do

that is to become a student of the word,

534

to master it and have it master you.

535

And to sit under wise teachers who

can help you discern and even practice

536

discernment through your everyday life.

537

Guys like this they're gaining

popularity, they're gaining notoriety,

538

they're gaining a following because

of how easy it is to access.

539

I'm gonna say information, not knowledge,

because knowledge assumes that it's true.

540

How easy it is to access information.

541

Please, Christian, be on your lookout,

be on your guard, know your Bible, follow

542

wise teachers, and prepare yourself

to defend yourself against these guys.

543

Yeah, in fact, shameless

plug we are finishing up the

544

gospel of John this Sunday.

545

And then after that for the summer,

we're gonna go through the minor

546

prophets, and we're gonna be talking

a lot about God's plan for Israel.

547

Because the minor profits

have a lot to say about that.

548

And this is gonna come through a lot

of that during our summer series.

549

Hopefully it's gonna look different.

550

We're covering a book

a week, a couple weeks.

551

I think we're covering two books even.

552

Oh, bold.

553

So it's a lot to bite off, but Sure.

554

It is, man.

555

It's, we just wanna be a little bit more

familiar with them on the back end of

556

the series than we are at the front end.

557

Hey, let's pray and then we'll

be done with this episode.

558

God, we want to be people that know the

word we were just talking about knowledge.

559

We want to be people of the book.

560

We wanted that moniker to be true

of us, and we want to have a deep

561

knowledge and understanding of the

scriptures and not just stop there,

562

but to apply ourselves to think about.

563

Theology and to think about the character

of who you are and to think about how

564

all of these things apply to our lives.

565

And there's the difference that

Pastor Rod was just talking

566

about of knowledge versus wisdom.

567

Knowledge is an end in and of itself.

568

Wisdom is knowledge applied and so

God help us to be a wise church, a

569

wise people that are able to see.

570

Error and to identify it quickly and to

know what the truth is in response to it.

571

And to protect ourselves, to

protect our families, to protect

572

our church, to protect this

flock from any error creeping in.

573

I'm reminded of Jude talking about

the false teachers creeping in and

574

being like reefs in their love feast.

575

It's a danger, and it's something

that we pray against for our church,

576

that we would have a church that

is well guarded and well protected

577

and well rooted in the word of God.

578

So we ask that would be true, and that

this podcast would be a help in that.

579

We prayed.

580

In Jesus' name, amen.

581

Amen.

582

Keep in your Bibles.
