CTP (S3E108) Plant, Don't Preach: The Christian's Guide to Meaningful Impact

Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, and beyond   
CTP (S3E108) Plant, Don't Preach: The Christian's Guide to Meaningful Impact (aka: Memes part 2 episode)
We explore the critical balance between prayer and action in Christian life, focusing on the principle that our job is to plant seeds while God's role is to change hearts. This episode challenges the notion that prayer alone is sufficient, urging Christians to take meaningful action in alignment with biblical teachings.
• Christians must understand the balance between human responsibility and divine intervention
• Prayer must be accompanied by action—"Change from wicked ways" implies personal responsibility
• Like gardening, we must plant seeds of goodness before expecting God to help them grow
• Inaction makes us complicit in the evil that results—"Only thing required for evil to prevail is good people do nothing"
• Getting off our knees and taking action is essential to seeing God's work manifested

[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast begin Show intro]

Welcome to ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast aka CTP in association with TheLibertyBeacon.com and I am your host Joseph M Lenard and that's L E N A R D   CTP is your no muss no fuss just me you And occasional guest type podcast as Graham Norton would say let's get on with the show 

[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast - Segment 1] 


Hello everyone, welcome to season 3.
I got to get used to saying that.
Episode 108, according to my note here,
my checklist of what I got to do to get an episode actually put together here.
That's what this is.
Anyway, that's one, right?
There, I've found somebody, about the ongoing.
At any rate, oop, that's too now a joke.
So indeed, at any rate, memes too.
How has I follow up to the memes episode?
And of course, so many other episodes that this will relate to.
I'm going to hold this up for the camera.
Thins, Thines, Thinners, Apologize.
I'm not sure how you pronounce that handle.
In Christian Ladies group on GAB social media posted this meme about presumably a Christian
lady in a pick up truck with a cowboy hat for purpose of the transcript and you on audio only.
And over the image, it says, your job is to plant the seed, not change their heart.
Don't get your role and God's role mixed up.
Well, thank you for posting that.
That is the theme of this season three episode 108 episode of the Christitutions Politics Show.
Indeed, shall be known by fruits, right?
Well, more so.
Reap what we sow.
You've heard me say before.
Is prayer alone enough going back to that?
No, two chronicles.
Pray.
Change from wicked ways.
I shall hear.
Help heal land.
Change from wicked ways implies actions upon our part to try to change.
To change from wicked ways.
God will hear and help not just weigh the magic wand with no action upon ourselves.
Our duties as Christians to make things better and God will help.
So to reap.
If you don't sow an action, right, you've got to sow something to reap something a required action.
Sitting around on your knees praying 24 hours a day, seven days a week, fifty two weeks a year.
Dear Lord, let corn grow in my backyard.
If you have it, God is not likely to blow corn seed into your yard and then indeed help water it with rain so that corn magically appears.
No, you need to plant the corn and the tomatoes and the lettuce and the cucumbers and carrots and broccoli and whatever else.
If you want something to grow, you must sow the seeds for that app.
Hence, the Bible doesn't say God helps those who help themselves.
But it is contextually implied in the you must sow.
You must act.
You must do things.
God can then help you to help yourself.
Right.
This is not difficult.
So contextually to understand if you read the whole Bible in its full context, not just picking you something for a false worldly narrative.
And I was going to say at the top, I forgot this should be a short show, but how many times have I said that an hour later, I'm still rambling.
Right.
But indeed, your job is to plant the seed that changed the heart.
Don't get your roll and God's roll mixed up, but it is our roll, our Christian duty to help sow the seeds of goodness and righteousness.
But if you don't sow any seeds, then you are complicit in the evil.
Only thing required for evil prevail.
Good people do nothing.
Right.
If you don't sow, then your part at fault for the rotten garbage fruit that has been reaped were all trying to do.
You were all trying to choke down because you didn't sow good fruit.
Okay.
Again, like I said, it's going to be short because that kind of sums it up in a nutshell.
Right.
Indeed, I'm holding up the printed version of the meme.
It's not in focus. It's not focusing.
That's for one of a reason.
Now the whole picture is out of focus.
I will try to insert and video edit for the behind the scenes sneak peek version.
The actual meme.
So you can see it.
Indeed, your job is to plant the seed that changed the heart.
Don't get your roll and God's roll mixed up.
Get off your butt.
Pray.
Yes.
Get on your knees and pray, but also get off your knees.
Get off your butt.
Right.
I'm broadcasting again from the ugly couch in my living room.
Now I've got the picture all screwed up.
I screwed up my green screen and had any right.
What's that number four or five?
But indeed, at any rate.
Get on to these and pray and ask for help.
But then get off your knees, get off your ass, get off your couch.
So goodness.
So that God can help it grow.
Only thing required.
A meme I share all the time.
An image and article I wrote at celebritybeacon.com.
Right.
Only thing required.
Evil prevail.
Good people's do nothing.
Get off your kind side.
Keeping this a G rated version of the show, which I usually try to do.
There is one episode.
You may recall I'm looking for it here.
Now the Chris Lee Pardon episode, season three episodes of one of five.
I had to put a warning on that warning rated E for explicit language because, yes.
We get a loose little loose with the language and some foul stuff comes out on occasions during the sevens done filters show.
And the only other Christitutions politics episode that kind of needed a PG-13 warning is the Am I the Ass?
Sorry.
Woding the name of the game there.
I even don't like to use that word normally.
Get off your hindsight.
Get off your butt and do things.
Am I the ass game?
My urge you to check out.
It's a great game.
Oh, great game.
Please check out that episode.
Please consider buying that game.
It's a good family.
It's a good generational game as we discussed with the creator of that game there.
To bridge gap between male and female, young and old, to come to understanding of morals.
It's a question of morals.
Am I the ass?
Like the one example.
E-loping.
Even though the family wants a big wedding and a reception.
Well, are you an ass for eloping?
Well, why are you doing it?
What are the reasons?
And of course that is more acceptable today than it was before.
So your answer may not be everybody else's answer.
At any rate, that's off the beaten path.
Thank you all.
Otherwise, I'll just keep for handling.
Thank you all for tuning in.
Take care.
God bless.
Indeed, maybe this is going to be a short episode as I actually promised it would be.
Bye-bye.
Thank you for having tuned in for a Christian Two-Shallist Politics Show.
