Summary

"Take care that ye perform not your righteousness to be seen of men." These words, familiar to Christians around the world, have an urgent and profound meaning for our time that needs unlocking.

0:00.0	To condemn the world and to enjoy the world are things contrary to each other.
0:06.8	How then can we condemn the world which we are born to enjoy?
0:11.9	Truly there are two worlds. One was made by God, the other by men. That made by God was great
0:20.4	and beautiful. Before the fall it was Adam's joy and the temple of his glory. That made by men
0:26.8	is a babble of confusions, invented riches, pumps and vanities brought in by sin.
0:34.0	Give all, sayeth Thomas a campus, for all. Leave the one that you may enjoy the other.
0:46.0	Let's talk about public goods. I'm one of my favorite shops out there for basically all

1:34.1	duck nibs. But they also make snacks for humans too in case you happen to not be a cat.
1:40.3	And you can get all of this for $15 off with no minimum purchase on your first order,
1:44.3	which is a great deal. Just for young heritage listeners, when you go to public goods.com
