0:00.0 | All right, listen, guys, I get it. Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry |
0:04.6 | because you're spending your cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and |
0:09.5 | admonition of the Lord. Praise God for you and that endeavor. However, algorithms are a thing. |
0:16.1 | Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing. And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of |
0:23.3 | this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star |
0:30.0 | review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend. |
0:36.4 | We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. |
0:39.5 | God bless. Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the |
0:46.3 | mouth of God. You're listening to Daily Truth. I do believe that virtually every text in the Bible can fall into one of those two major categories. |

1:24.4 | that's not just rooted in the ears of the hearer. It's not just relative to the one |
1:29.1 | who is receiving God's message, but there actually is a hermeneutic of law and gospel in the text |
1:35.6 | itself, in the Bible, indicatives and imperatives, motives, motives, commands, law, or gospel, and law. |
1:43.7 | However, all that being said, I wouldn't call it this good news |
1:47.3 | slash bad news hermeneutic because for the one who is in Christ, even the law is good news. |
1:54.3 | It is good news. It's not entirely good news. The law of God is bad news in the sense that no man will be saved by works |
2:02.8 | as done unto the law, which is what the apostle Paul says abundantly, clearly in the book of Romans. |
