We interrupt this regularly scheduled non-broadcast to broadcast something, or at least podcasted. It hasn't even been regularly scheduled because we've been off and on because of, yeah, so I don't know what to say about any of them. Well, we don't know what to say about any of this. That sums it all. Yeah, we got on here to say we don't know what to say. Now, okay, we do have some stuff to say.

Yeah. So we wanted to give you some reasons for hope because even in the midst of this

chaos, this soup of nastiness, this lack of hope, this darkness, this evil, I would say,

overplaying its hand in many ways, in many, many ways.

There's that scripture where Paul said, be ready, I think to the Thessalonians?

Yeah, is it Paul?

Right.

So it's not like be ready with an answer for some objection about evolution.

Yeah.

Yeah. Which is what I grew up thinking. I thought so too.

But I didn't even know in this scripture, not I'm looking at it, that the beginning of that is if you, in an NIV, it says, but in your hearts revere Christ as Lord.
