0:00.0	It's Monday, June 2, 2025. I'm Albert Mueller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news
0:12.2	and events from a Christian worldview. In Romans chapter 1, Paul tells us that the moral truths that
0:18.8	are revealed in scripture are also revealed in nature,
0:22.9	and yet sinners suppress the truth and unrighteousness. Now, a general principle in Christian
0:28.2	worldview thinking is that the issues of greatest clarity in scriptural revelation and in general
