0:00.0	Hi, this is Nathan W. Bingham, host of Renewing Your Mind.
0:03.4	If you've been listening this past week, you've heard RC Sproul's unique ability to
0:07.8	clearly and win somely communicate the truth of the Bible, even when the topic is challenging,
0:13.0	even hard. What before today's hard saying, I wanted to take a brief moment to remind you
0:18.6	of another podcast, ultimately with RC Sproul, where several times each week we feature brief
0:24.7	snippets from Dr. Sproul's lifetime of teaching to help you set your mind on what matters most,

1:48.4	in the prophet Aymus, but His warning is not to Egypt, it's to Israel, it's not to the pagan
1:54.8	nations, it was to the religious. Hi, I'm Nathan W. Bingham and thank you for joining us today for
2:00.3	renewing your mind. Today we're continuing RC Sproul's hard saying series. Now many of these
2:06.8	sayings have been hard for us to understand, but today we come to one that's hard for us to hear,
2:13.2	a warning from the prophet Aymus to the unrepentant among the people of God. Let's hear from RC Sproul
