Doug Wilson talks about the endless war on energy, Wodehouse's amazing book "Leave it to Psmith", and then he finishes off with a look into the word "athesmos". Happy Plodding! Current Events: The War on Energy    - Scott Pruitt (EPA)    - The War on Energy is really a war on the poor.     - James 2:16    9:20 Book Plug: Leave It To Psmith -- Wodehouse     - Favorite crafter of metaphors     - Code of the Woosters     - Joy Comes in the Morning    15:40 Hamartiology: athesmos:    2 Peter 2:7, 3:18 "error of the wicked"     - Christians need to learn to "keep it simple." We know God destroyed Sodom, and we know why. What we don't know is how many long term, committed relationships there were in Sodom. Neither should we car. Growing in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus is directly related to the avoidance of wickedness. Sad to say, this assertion is now officially controversial in some Christian quarters.

Shownotes: Hamartiology: “Athemitos” Acts 10:28 & 1 Peter 4:3 rendered as an “unlawful thing” and also translated as “abominable” the moralistic man rejects evil because he has to, but secretly wishes he could get in on the action while the moral man rejects evil in its entirety because he sees it as abominable Theodore Dalrymple—Life at the Bottom good for Americans to read because he shows that certain pathologies crop up when people are treated in a certain way shows the destruction of evading personal responsibilities bureaucrats can’t pay people to evade their responsibilities and then get surprised when it all falls apart The NFL & National Anthem: professional sports is entertainment and depends on the fans paying to watch games huge disconnect between players and fans surprising that the athletes are rejecting their fans ESPN & the NFL are losing fans and customers because of this and have made their fanbase mad

Hamartiology: atheos - Ephesians 2:12    In Ephesians 2:12 it refers to those who are "without God," that is, godless.    Our use of the word is a lot closer to agnostic and this could break down several different ways.      Book Plug: Politics of Guilt & Pity by R.J. Rushdoony      Current Events: Harvey Weinstein "Shocked! Shocked!"   "Hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue."    You cannot have public virtue last for long unless you have private virtue. You cannot have private virtue without gospel. You need gospel for private virtue and you need private virtue for public virtue. At some point your public behavior will match your private behavior.
