Summary
Perception Is Not Reality. As culture becomes more fixated on feelings and perceptions rather than truth, it becomes more difficult to know if and when we should engage in culture wars. Cooper Stuff looks at a few events of the last couple of weeks to illustrate why truth matters.

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, I got some bad news for you. Wait for it. Perception is not reality. |
| 0:12.8 | I'm sorry, I know, I know, I know. We live in a society right now that cares more about the way something sounds |
| 0:20.4 | or the way it looks or I want people to perceive me to be on the right side of something |
| 0:26.1 | more than we care about actual truth or if something is right or wrong or righteous or evil. |
| 0:33.3 | How are we to live in a society like this? Some Christians say we shouldn't get involved in all |
| 0:38.0 | these culture wars. That's not part of what the gospel is about. Other people say no, we need to |
| 0:43.3 | get involved in the culture wars because we have to bring justice to the earth. There are |
| 0:47.1 | things people would say that. Have you noticed there's also a contingent of Christians, even our |
| 0:52.4 | Christian leadership, influencers, pastors and the like who seem to say the most important thing |
| 0:58.3 | to do is to be nice. Even if what that means is jumping into someone's false idea of reality, |

| 1:23.4 | Truth has become a motion. A motion has become God. God has become whatever one desires, |
| 1:29.8 | whether rock and roll dreams, self-worship, sexual desire or whatever and whatever one desires |
| 1:35.9 | must be good, right? Wrong. I totally agree with it. I agree with every word of that. |
| 1:57.5 | Hey everybody, what is up? Welcome back to Cooper Stuff. It's good to be back. I hope you guys |
| 2:04.0 | had an awesome Easter weekend. This is what it's all about for us, right? Celebrating the death, |
| 2:12.0 | the burial and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If Jesus Christ has not risen from the dead, |
| 2:18.4 | then we're in some pretty deep water. We're in some pretty bad situation. That's what it's all |
| 2:23.2 | about for us. Jesus Christ has power over sin and death. Oh man, I'm going to start preaching up |
| 2:30.5 | in here, glory. I'll start preaching because this is what it is all about for us. It's all about |
