Summary
Rabbi Shlomo Amar believes recent earthquakes in Israel are a direct result of the rise of LGBTQ rights. And federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a noted Christian, could issue a preliminary injunction soon in a case that could temporarily halt over half of the legal abortions in America today. Both issues speak to how people of faith affect culture. Today, let’s ask how Christians can and should work to strengthen such a moral foundation for our secularized culture.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Daily Article Podcast for Wednesday, March the 1st, 2023. |
| 0:07.0 | I'm Chris Elkins of the Denison Forum, narrating today's article written by Dr. Jim Denison. |
| 0:13.8 | Quote, God said you are shocking your people for something that is not yours. |
| 0:19.4 | Unquote. According to Shlomo Amar, the Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem, and former Sephardic |
| 0:25.6 | chief rabbi of Israel, this statement in the Jewish Talmud means that recent earthquakes in Israel |
| 0:31.8 | are a direct result of the rise of LGBT rights in his country. |
| 0:37.0 | He has previously stated that homosexuals should get the death penalty, |
| 0:40.3 | according to Jewish law. |
| 0:42.3 | Despite my strong biblical beliefs regarding homosexuality, |
| 0:46.3 | I am glad Rabbi Omar is not legislating morality for America. |
| 0:51.3 | Closer to home, a federal judge in Amarillo, Texas, has received final briefs for a claim that Muffa-Pristone, |
| 0:59.8 | half of the two drug regimen used in medicated abortions should be removed from shelves across America. |
| 1:06.5 | The judge, Matthew Kaksmurek, could use a preliminary injunction to take the drugs off the shelves while the case proceeds. |

| 1:29.3 | and defends religious freedom, the Washington Post profiles Judge Kaksmurek as a person with a |
| 1:35.7 | deep passion for religious freedom. It reports that his religiosity is so strong that it comes |
| 1:42.8 | through in all aspects of Kaksmurik's life, though he testified in his Senate confirmation hearings that he would not apply his religious beliefs when ruling on a case. |
| 1:53.2 | In yesterday's daily article, we discussed former President Jimmy Carter's description of our self-indulgent society that defines human identity not, |
| 2:03.1 | quote unquote, by what one does, but by what one owns. We also noted George Washington's |
| 2:10.1 | observation that human happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected. I stated in response that self-governance depends on our ability |
| 2:20.7 | to govern ourselves and each other, which depends on an operative, consensual, objective morality. |
