Today in our modern world, we confuse tolerance with truth. The commitment to population control

and to the reduction of human population would be the most widely shared goal of the top leaders

of the world's largest environmental organizations. When we talk about how Christian

Nationalists use biblical texts, similar to what goes on with Marxists, they rip passages out of

context and kind of weave them together as part of their political narrative.

There is no better evangelism tool you have than the apostles and Nicene Crete. These give you the

words you need to confess the saving faith to others.

How much engine is on the fact that Jesus was sinless, that in every way, in every moment,

in heart, mind, and deed, he was obedient to his father, completely obedient.

If you take away the obedience of Christ, do you still have salvation from Jesus?

Greetings and welcome to Issuesetc.org coming to you from the studios of Lutheran Public Radio.

I'm Todd Wilkin, thanks for tuning us in. In our one today, we'll be listening to a teaching

from Pastor Hans Feeney from the 2020 virtual Issuesetc.org making the case conference,

and later Dr. Carl Fakentra will lead us in a study of the evening hymn, The Day Thou Gavist

Lord is Ended. Pastor Hans Feeney is pastor of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in St. Louis.

He's a contributor to the Federalist and creator of a series of comical videos called Lutheran Satire.
