Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast where pastor and bestselling author Dr. Paul David Tripp

connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life. The gospel, according to Mark,

decimates moral neutrality by presenting us with an absolute truth to accept or reject,

the kingship of Christ.

In today's episode, we'll continue through Paul's sermon series in the Book of Mark,

and in this sermon, Paul examines what it looks like to accept Christ kingship.

Each review helps us reach more people with the transforming power of Jesus Christ.

Now here's Paul with this message from the Gospel of Mark.

Perhaps it is the grand delusion.

A perspective that really has swept across Western culture, that there is no such thing as absolute

truth. That truth is a buffet. You eat what you want.

That your truth is your truth and my truth is my truth.

That the highest character quality of Western culture is tolerance.

I don't try to proselytize you. I don't try to proselytize you.

I don't try to convince you.

You believe what you want to believe, and I believe what I want to believe,

that perhaps there is actually a place of happy neutrality.

And it's just not true.

And Mark really confronts you with the fact that there is no happy neutrality.

That truth matters. That truth is real, that you must say yes or no.

And that's not just for the people out there as we seek to minister to them, that's for us.
