Happy Plodding! Show Notes: Isreal & Middle East Conflict: there has been endless Middle East conflict, and it is easy to push it to the side however there are things that Christians need to pay attention to I am not an adherent of manifest destiny you can’t unscramble the egg we ought to recognize that Isreal has the right to occupy the space she currently has The Conservative Mind: written by Russel Kirk one of the values of conservative temperament is that it is not idealogical the conservative is suspicious of systems the conservative prefers the devil he knows to the devil he doesn’t know Alusiteles: The NT describes sins of omission in different ways Heb. 13:17 - the saints are told to avoid making their rulers assigned task a grief they are to be a joy to serve, not a grief when this is not done, the result is unprofitable (alusiteles) when worshipers find that their whole church experience is “unprofitable” for them, this is one of the possible reasons they should check
