| 0:15.0 | do you do When the Apostle Paul wrote his letter to the church at Rome, he listed ungodly behaviors that stirred the anger of God, behaviors that prompted God to give |
| 0:37.0 | those people up to their own wickedness. |
| 0:40.1 | It's a list that still rings true in our society today. |
