EP227: Acts 4 isn't Socialism / Gratefulness cultivates happiness. Let me help you be grateful / Don't lose Gospel integrity over any worldly claims

On this Episode: Gratefulness Now lower income American lives in more luxury than King George III or King Louis VIII. We take for granted that when we turn the faucet, hit the switch, and toggle the knobs that we get, on demand, clean water at the temperature we want and electricity to power our lives of relative leisure. We even get angry when the miracles of technology we enjoy don't work the exact way we want the moment we want. Our culture breeds in us all a wanton entitlement. Let me help you cultivate gratefulness even in the face of challenge. There's joy there to be had. Credibility I hope, after all my years have passed, that the message for which I am most remembered is Christ and him crucified and resurrected. I count on my credibility to say to an unbelieving world that the Maker of All of Things put on flesh, dwelt among us, was crucified, and nevertheless lives even now.  If that's my primary claim, I want to be really careful about the other claims I make about the world: elections, culture, other people, etcetera. I hope you'll join me. The Bible and Socialism A Senate candidate says the Bible teaches government-controlled socialism. I may not like socialism, but I dislike bastardizing the Bible even more. I explain near the end of the show. Plus, a lot more. I would be honored if you listen. #Bible #Christian #ChristianTalk
