EP293: I Have a Really Good Story To Tell You / A Listener Accuses of Me of Something / Tim Keller With an Incomplete Tweet Economics Systems and The Bible

On This Episode: AN ENGAGEMENT, A STORY, A LESSON (0:00-13:00ish) You probably saw: I'm engaged and thrilled about. The day after, I had a really sweet experience at church. Let me tell you the story in a way that I think will benefit you too. LISTENER ACCUSATION ON GAMBLING (13:00ish-23:00ish) A listener emailed me to complain about a picture of me sitting at a poker table to friends and family. He called gambling a sin and wanted me to reconcile my poker playing with Christianity. I take these things seriously. I don't want to be wrong one second longer than I have to be. So, let's work through the theology of gambling. DISAPPOINTING KELLER TWEET (23:00-33:00ish) Tim Keller, one of my favorite Bible teachers, recently tweeted that no earthly political or economic system will be perfectly Biblical. That's, of course, true. It allows too much room, though, and fails to disqualify unbiblical systems. I'll elaborate. FINISHING STRONG WITH TWO STORIES (33:00-End of Show) A study recently found a doubling of people who identify as non-heterosexual over the last 15 years. It also found 20% of Generation Z identify as somewhere on the LGBT spectrum. Do we think something fundamentally has changed in our biology or has something changed the culture? After that, there's a troubling rally that's touring churches. I have a warning.
