Summary
THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:
Peter’s first sermon at Pentecost
“In religion, as in war and everything else, comfort is the one thing you cannot get by looking for it. If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end: if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth -- only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin with and, in the end, despair.” - C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
Jim Putman’s books

| 0:05.2 | stand it up, step back, and your photos are also synced to your Chromebook, ready to edit. |
| 0:10.8 | The new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Chromebook, available on Vodafone. |
| 0:15.6 | We obviously live in God this time. We need to accept that there will be |
| 0:21.5 | some pain in the process. |
| 0:23.6 | Homophobic and transphobic ideas from parents can absolutely be a problem |
| 0:29.0 | inescapable judgment. Yeah, bigoted misinformed parents who have no idea how to talk about gay |
| 0:36.0 | sex. They're biased. If they are religious, it can be very difficult to get into the conversation |
| 0:43.2 | with them. Yeah, sometimes you can get Stonewalled out of information. |
| 0:49.2 | Imagine that an adult male wants to have sex with a 12-year-old girl. Imagine that she's a |
| 0:55.2 | willing participant. A very standard, very widely held view that there's something deeply wrong |
| 1:00.4 | about this, and it's wrong independent of it being criminalized. It's not obvious to me that |
| 1:05.3 | is in fact wrong. But God still exists, and he's still in charge, and the godlessness we see, |
| 1:12.7 | well, that's kind of easy to see. But what about the sneaky godlessness |
| 1:19.2 | of counterfeit Christianity that our loved ones practice, our kids, our grandkids, our neighbors, |

| 1:33.3 | my pastor, who's also a friend, says so far from it. But what does the Bible say about what Christians |
| 1:40.8 | believe and what we do with that belief? Pastor Jim Putman joins me. |
| 2:11.0 | Today is the day the Lord has made, and these are the times through which God has decided we shall live. |
| 2:24.3 | And it's time such as these that require us to make a decision, and some people unfortunately |
| 2:29.2 | believe they've made the decision to follow Jesus Christ, and they're actually following something |
