BNS S3E6 - Hapless Empire
Today on Biblical News Source there is a lot to cover. Stories the past two weeks have been popping up in overwhelming numbers. Tucker Carlson interviewed Vladimir Putin, causing quite a stir; the border crisis intensifies, and the House impeaches Secretary Mayorkas for his dereliction of duty; Democrats’ soft on crime policies and refusal to deal with the mental health crisis in our country is putting people’s safety at risk; and it turns out that all of this, to no surprise, may be intentional. Xi Van Fleet, with her experiences from Communist China, gives us some insight into why. Following all of that, we discuss the state of our world and whether or not Jesus emphasized repentance as a part of the gospel message. And lastly, we continue in our examination of the Hebrew Worldview by examining the near sacrifice of Isaac.Sources:https://twitter.com/CollinRugg/status/1757404722267619553https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1757802512743330155https://twitter.com/ImMeme0/status/1757540809560162371https://twitter.com/CollinRugg/status/1757083595536314505https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1757560988268716380https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1757836583460655436https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1757860818732069111https://twitter.com/TaraBull808/status/1757967661135434179https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1758199262268334287https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1757868334367003026https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1757486613729620127https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/1757164324496286037https://twitter.com/megbasham/status/1757431402264486155https://twitter.com/TheChrisW92/status/1757537145869234300Save on healthcare with Crossway Connect today: https://app.crosswayconnect.org/enroll...Build your own library of resources for biblical study with Logos Bible Software: https://logos.refr.cc/10minutechurchDeck yourself out with some Jesus swag and bear his name with apparel and accessories from SeekJesus.co:https://seekjesus.co/pages/_go_?ref=7491:646327&discount=CHRISW92Get a copy of my new devotional journal Centering Prayer: Sit and Give Your Troubles to God: https://a.co/d/39pw2eEWebsite: 10minute.churchConvos With Dad: https://www.spreaker.com/show/convos-with-dadX (formerly Twitter): @TheChrisW92Recommended Sources:Michael S.
