| 0:00.0 | And of course, as you and I know, the big challenge for Christians is how do we offend people but not be offensive. |
| 0:09.0 | That's Dr. Erwin Lutzer from our last broadcast talking about the absence of God in the culture and what we can do about bringing Christ's life to the world. |
| 0:20.5 | I'm John Fuller and welcome to another episode of Focus on the Family with Jim Daly. |
