Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. I get it. It's annoying. Everybody

asks, but I'm going to tell you why. When you give us a positive review, what that does is it

triggers the algorithm so that our podcast shows up on more people's news feeds. You and I both know

that this ministry is willing to talk about things that most ministries aren't. We need

this content for the glory of God to reach more people's ears. His final woe to the scribes and

Pharisees is that they erect elaborate monuments for the prophets and say, if they had been around

in our father's days, we would not have killed them.

There's a great application today within the church.

Many of the very same men who hold conferences and published books honoring the reformers

will go out of their way to destroy anyone who holds the same political and cultural views.

Men who honor Calvin and Luther, who put busts of them in their offices

and proudly display their every word

that they ever wrote on their bookshelves

will docks and drive men out of their churches

who believe the same things Calvin and Luther did.

If we were around in the Reformation,

we wouldn't have burned the reformers at the stake. All right.

So this, I think, pairs up nicely with one of the chief texts that we will be using from the Gospel of Matthew for this particular episode, which is, what's the text?

The reference? The reference is, yeah, Matthew chapter 23. It's a parable. Yeah. And it's a parable

about killing the Lord's servants, killing the prophets. Or that's 21, yeah. Right.

And then ultimately, you know, the master of the vineyard says, well, I'll, surely, they'll respect my son.

And they say, well, no, this is our chance to kill him too and take the inheritance.
