November 28, 2022 18:04 - 27 minutes - 37.1 MBThe Respect for Marriage Act "poses a pretty significant risk to religious Americans, both individuals and organizations.

David Closson: Biblical principles to engage an arrogant culture
November 07, 2022 17:58 - 27 minutes - 37.1 MB"The idea of us trying to impose our sense of right and wrong — especially on something that's so clear [as pro-life] and to tell God we know better — my goodness that is the height of arrogance.

October 17, 2022 17:01 - 27 minutes - 37.1 MB"Most of these extraordinary cases come from violating the First Commandment and that means turning to a spirit other than God for comfort, information or power. So, if you're not playing around with other spirits than God, you're not usually going to end up in trouble.
