Episode notes
Every Thought Under Christ's Kingship
- Timothy Keller argues Jesus' claim that "every thought" must be obedient implies absolute kingship over every part of life.
- If you are created (not accidental), your Creator has rightful moral claims over your thoughts and actions.
We Serve No Sovereigns Here
- Keller recounts John Guest noticing a Revolutionary War tavern sign: "we serve no sovereigns here."
- The story illustrates American resistance to the idea of bowing the knee to a sovereign.
Choose A True Lord, Not A Tyrant
- Do recognize that everyone already serves a lord or power even if they claim independence.
- Try exchanging what tyrannizes you for Christ, who knows you and will not ultimately tyrannize you.
