0:00.0	Thank you for joining us for this episode of the Sword and the Trowel.
0:03.0	Today, Pastor Tom and I talk about chapter four of the Second London Baptist Confession on Creation.
0:08.0	And we also talk a little bit about wisdom and prudence, how to interpret the Scriptures and how to order our life according to what God has said in creation and in the Scriptures.
0:17.0	I hope this is a helpful conversation for you. Stay tuned.

1:28.6	See, yeah, confessions are good and helpful thing.
1:30.1	Yeah.
1:30.5	And being confessional, which we are, helps us to think about not just the Bible, but
