Across Africa, millions of Christians are suffering a Bible famine. They hunger for God's word, but there simply aren't enough Bibles. Today, Timothy Project is close to launching Africa's first Bible webpress. To help complete this project, visit Timothyproject.com.

Hi, friend. This is Janet Partial. Thank you so much for downloading this podcast, and I hope you hear something that's going to encourage equip, edify, and get you out there in the marketplace of ideas. But before you start listening, let me just take a moment if your time, please, and tell you about this month's Truth Tool. It's called Idiotic Things People Did in the Bible by my friend Ray Comfort. It's really marvelous. It's funny, but it's also pithy. And by that, I mean, he points out the brutal mistakes that people make throughout the scriptures. I mean, you would think that seeing the Red Sea split in two or watching fire fall from heaven or hearing the audible voice of God would cause somebody to behave better wisely. Oh, no, that's not the case. And what Ray does in his inimitable style is he tells you

the Bible story and then he makes us listen to the story within the story, which is a wake-up call

for you and me. The same temptations that were common to the saints of older, the same temptations

we deal with today. The same thing that causes us to sin then, causes us to sin now. And really and truly, we can end

up being idiotic in our behavior choices if we don't understand that God is holy, he is merciful,

and he is not to be trifled with. This is a book for the ages. It's a wonderful Bible story book,

and it includes questions for reflection and discussion, but even more importantly, it makes you do a deep

dive into where you are spiritually and whether or not you would fall into that idiotic category or not.

It's a wonderful truth tool, and it's yours when you give a gift of any amount to In the Market.

Just call 877 Janet 58. That's 877 Janet 58. Give a gift of any amount, and I will send you a copy of idiotic things people did in the Bible.

Welcome to In The Market with Janet Partial. Today's program is where Janet and her husband Craig take some of the stories making headlines this week and offer their insight and analysis.

Before they get started, let's take a quick look back at some of the highlights from the week.

If we are going to restore and renew and regenerate, it seems to me, and beginning with the church, we need to engage as never before.

I think that Peter and Paul are prime examples of the kind of engagement in the public square

and in the private sphere that you mentioned at the top of this wonderful program.

I think we need to engage as never before because democracy is not a spectator sport.

All of these other things that are really wood hand stubble.

If we will be obedient to the teachings and commands of the one we claim to follow,
