Hello and welcome back to Sochiology 101.

Same song, second verse.

Praying the Wi-Fi is not much worse.

I'll be watching the side jet.

I tried to get on just a minute ago and had some technical difficulties echoing in the microphone,

all that kind of fun stuff.

And so hopefully that's not the case this time.

I just rebooted everything and hopefully it is fine.

So let me know on the side chat, if you're hearing me okay.

I wanted to give a shout out to Jeremy Croft because he sent me this book called Our Salvation Beauty for Ashes,

which it says this on the back, and this is what I wanted to read to you.

It says this, Our salvation was God's idea.

He devised and executed the plan by sending his son, and he is the one who calls us to himself. God does the work, but Christ,

but we must, but the Christian, excuse me, must yield to it. It is our surrender that we, it is in our surrender that we find the life of Christ being manifest in us. This book explores salvation in many

of its facets. It considers the theoretical concept of free will and

sovereignty and shows how they apply to our everyday life. And so shout out to Jeremy. Thank you for sending

that to me. And I've read some of it and what I've read I've really enjoyed. So if you're

interested in finding another book on the doctrine of salvation, I recommend Jeremy's book to you.

We're going to be talking about the law.

And so I'm hearing now on the side chat,

it sounds like it's coming across better now, soundwise.

Hopefully it's as good as it normally is.
