| 0:00.0 | Welcome to politics by faith. Thank you so much for being here. Yesterday, we talked about |
| 0:08.7 | Pride Month, and we talked about lack of self-control and read some proverbs about pride and |
| 0:15.8 | about sexual morality and self-control and lust and watching out for the adulterous woman. |
| 0:21.5 | Today I want to talk about another aspect of self-control, and that is with money. |
| 0:26.5 | Now, there's a perfect timing because of the debate going back and forth about the one big |

| 1:17.4 | what they can pull together. But now we also got a lot of Elon coming out and saying some very |
| 1:22.9 | dramatic things against Trump. And now Trump is, ah, it's a whole whole thing. I don't want to focus on |
| 1:26.6 | that. I want to focus on us. I made the argument this morning that spending is a moral issue. |
| 1:34.7 | As Andrew Breitbart said, politics is downstream of culture. And so culture comes first. |
