He's going to get that in because that's what he cares about.

That's what he's all about.

Right.

Yeah, it is remarkable.

I think in this moment, as we're talking, there is a deep sickness in our culture.

I think we all feel it.

Pressure's high, tensions are high, and it is spiritual in nature.

And I think that's one of the things, I'm a pastor, I'm still a pastor, just in a different state.

and um jesus really is the only hope for this like there is no way out and and what's needed in the moment is forgiveness of sins and and calling people to repent of it right like yes the reason this this bubbles up is because sin festers and festers and festers and it's encouraged by in this case government officials who are fostering lawlessness encouraging this kind of conduct rather than being as the bible says they ought to be

a terror to evil conduct.

That's what, when God lays down, what should the government do?

What's their job?

And it's, they should be a terror to evil conduct.

They should execute God's wrath on the wrongdoers.

They should reward the righteous.

They should encourage good people and they should punish bad people.

That's their just basic job.

And in this circumstance, they're actually doing the opposite.

They're terrorizing normal law-abiding citizens, and then they're encouraging the lawless and the lawbreakers.

And because of that, it's bubbling up, it's bubbling over, and it's tragic.
