35:30 Dr Trueman said this about watching sermon streams just before the outbreak of Covid. Fascinating.

[@neilsaunders6009]

Or, to be more exact, the outbreak of induced hysteria around Covid.

Thank you for giving me this framework to organise my belief system. Shx

In his book "Homosexuality and the Politics of Truth" by Dr. Jeffrey Satinover, the author talks about how Jung insisted that good and evil are reconcilable. Satinover explains how the way to reconcile them is through moral relativism...but what happens when people do that is that they then tend to chose to do evil and call it the good, because evil often feels good.

Superbly framed discussion, well worth the listen of the present day Christian, challenged by secular inputs.

The Declaration of Independence uses the pursuit of happiness in the philosophical sense, aka *“eudamonia”* defined as _“A person's state of excellence characterized by objective flourishing across a lifetime, and brought about through the exercise of moral virtue, practical wisdom, and rationality.”_ Not the colloquial definition of happiness, the positive feeling of contentment or bliss.

Åååää

[@stephenbryant3721]

Can some one tell me how to get the handout on this talk?

[@JoelTrousdale88]

Loved this. Just for the record, though, it is the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution, which mentions the pursuit of happiness.

I'm glad he was going to have a 'crack at leadership in the church'. Pity he didn't! I clearly don't know what he was going to say, but the church has ingested the hubristic worldly approbation of 'leader as hero'. The church is not like that. The scriptures give us our language: we serve, we have overseers, pastors, we put others before ourselves. We offer that to the world, yet a world that has produced the greatest crony-capitalist scandals, is full of corruption and pride, is taken to set the tone for our church governance and pastoral practice!
