Welcome to the Conversations, the Matter Podcast. My name is John Harris and it's been about two weeks since I recorded an episode so as you can imagine a lot has happened in those two weeks.

The House of Representatives has decided to create a precedent in which arbitrary preference

reigns over principle and I live in Virginia so there's there's a battle right now in Virginia to enact some legislation that will

trample over the Second Amendment. And then there's the church stuff. And I

got to tell you though watching all this trying to it's obviously always

overwhelming because there's so much of it but the church is the most important

facet of society.

I mean, it's the most important institution. And for me, I mean, I do these videos

for you all who, you know, I imagine you is mostly working class busy with

probably kids and grandkids you love your church you just want to worship

Jesus and you turn on CNN and you hear talking points that

sound unfortunately similar to talking points you're now hearing maybe in your

Sunday school class and I've tried to expose explain what's going on, encourage you as much as I possibly can compare

what's being said in the social justice movement to what the truth of the gospel is what just common

reason as Martin Luther said you know says and I just I don't see it slowing down I don't see it slowing down and even if on the federal level and on the

state and local level politically things go south the church is still the most

important thing to me because I think that's where that that's God's plan.

It's God's plan A and there is no B for carrying out the Great Commission. It's the only hope to be salt and light in this

society as long as the church is true and orthodox and following Christ in every way.

And so there's no perfect world,

there's no perfect church, but the Lord has said

that he will preserve his church.
