- EPISODE #147: Ted asks about struggling with feeling like a fraud in the Christian life and faith. Rod talks about what is common, what is ‘normal’, what it means to feel ‘in need’ or ‘self condemning’, and how he views living ‘victoriously’ and ‘winning’, referencing the Pharisee and the publican, or tax collector.

• Talks With Dad Rod
TO OUR BELOVED AUDIENCE MEMBERS: Please understand that we give a LITTLE room for people to disagree with us, but we do not allow our space to be used to promote gross error, which is faith-destroying. Dad and I do what we do here to bring you the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, help inform you of your ‘simul iustus et peccator/at once sinner and saint’ status with God, through His Son, and make the case for the truth of the claims in the gospels in Scripture WHILE helping to heal the “bruised reeds” and “smoldering wicks”. Sometimes, someone will jump into the commentary with potentially damaging error, and I’ll leave it so people can see our position against it. But, if you see one day that it’s been entirely removed, don’t be surprised. Such things have very little usefulness, and we are very protective of you and know how withering such commentary can be. Please know that we have dealt with such nonsense for a very long time and we are here for you. We know your position and struggle and your suffering. Christ died FOR YOU and He IS SUFFICIENT to save sinners, even faithful ones. “Lord, I believe! Help my unbelief!” Trust Paul in Romans 7. God is FOR YOU way more than some would have you believe. God’s grace and peace to you, for Jesus’ sake! Amen!
Thanks Ted, your dad has been a great source of growth in the law and gospel distinctive in my life since The White Horse Inn.
Thanks for sharing this teaching to a new generation of hurting Christians coming out from under the yoke of law filled seeker sensitive churches.
Soli Deo Gloria 🙏
Dear Ted, your dads wisdom saved my bacon, i mean death or life - im so glad youve picked up the baton and pushing darkness back.
You both are appreciated by us wounded, broken and deeply wounded messed up church, THANKYOU!!!
Amen.
The one who thinks by evidence any Scam shall not be presented to help keep interest going. Though algorithm is the God of the internet in which God i do not believe exist but proves to exist accordingly in how it operates. this will let any side be in total frustration or at least slightly confused . Confusion and frustration is the mark of a beast who never allows the peaceful to succeed and who knows what peace is and what leads us to peace. in reality every one needs peace of mind in order to Sleep for sleep needs peace of mind inorder to succeed also. Why? Because, a creater making it possible in all walks of life including animals, peace is a must in order to carry out a pleasant Sleep.
What i'm getting at is how Could any natural Selection carry out such intelligence creatively. Trying to hold on to Faith in the only Creater is the toughest experience any human has ever lived through
? except, a few who has never experienced the creater? yet, not only through the Book of Scriptures but by being answered in a way with rational understanding. Reading the Scriptures over through complete context might also confuse the Educated and skillfull inteligence of many . for instance, Why would Jesus Need a Man named PAUL with no last name Speak for Jesus when Jesus Could have simply Spoke For Himself. Yet, Jesus was mentioned in the Old Testimonials might explain Jesus ? but, not fully might have something do to our Faith. Grace is our only hope.
More often than not I feel like the law is crushing me rather than me crushing this Christian life.
It’s good to know I’m not the only one that feels like this.
I remember my pastor way back, preaching and saying " do we need the forgiveness of Christ Jesus any less today than when we first believed?" More! Thank you! Always look forward to the Monday broadcast.
Why? Do you feel you have sinned more today? but, than when your Father had given you this information? or, have you read the Scriptures enough to understand that we need more forgivness now than what sin we committed in the past. Grace in the Scriptures Tells us Faith is the concurrency of all.
"Particularly in his dying. Particularly in his suffering." Best comment of the entire exchange, (it was all great). But yes, Jesus accomplished his victory in dying, the blow the devil never saw coming. Thank you once again, dear brothers.
I would be content for this to be preached every Sunday. I recall Luther writing, (paraphrased) the closer we are to God the more aware we are of our own sin.
This came up as I was feeling this way, like I couldn’t do anything right and I was just faking it and failing but this message came at the right time, God bless you guys and have a wonderful night in Jesus name amen!
I have always struggled with this. Thank you!
Thank you Brothers in Christ, this was eye opening
Amen! Thank you!
Thank you for this rich reminder!
It is a struggle....there are times I feel like I am hanging on by a thread.
Thanks for commiserating with us and faithfully returning to the gospel again and again. I sometimes struggle even to pray.
