Hello friends, great vocal here, welcome to our program, and I was just thinking there's a talk that I give

0:38.0

that I can't remember the title of right now.

0:42.0

This is happening more and more lately, these little things slip my mind, but it's a talk where I focus in on

0:49.0

at least some one aspect of it, defending the faith, but also in a sense of passing it on.

0:56.0

And I have a section in that talk where I focus in on something that Paul says to Timothy in his last will and testiment,

1:06.0

which we know as second Timothy, where he is giving final instructions there to Timothy before he faces his own execution.

1:14.0

So he knows he's going to go, that's the passage or the section where he says, I've finished the faith, I've finished the course, I've kept the faith, etc.

1:22.0

And the kind of thing that we want to be able to say too, but in that section, chapter three of second Timothy, he talks about trouble in the world,

2:15.0

Okay, and Paul says, hey, you know, you rather, you know, preach the word.

2:22.0

So all in second Timothy, the final words of Paul.

2:26.0

And of course, we see trouble in the world, we've seen that for a long time.

2:29.0

And in different ways, we've seen trouble in the church, but I've been deeply concerned about things that have been happening up late in the way the church has shifted radically.

2:36.0

And I'm speaking of the church at large, those churches that shall we say self identify has Christian churches and the shift that's going on there.

2:46.0

And recently there was an event that I think signaled the shift that's been going on.

And it was at Andy Stanley's church.
