  [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to the daily article podcast from Denison Forum.

  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm Chris Elkins, giving voice to today's daily article, written by our CEO, Dr. Jim Denison.

  [SPEAKER_00]: legislation that would reopen the U.S. government advanced through the House Rules Committee early this morning.
• 0:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: The full House of Representatives is expected to vote on the bill this evening.
• 0:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: The eight democratic senators who made this possible are being vilified or thanked, depending on the news outlet you happen to read.
• 0:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: In fact, the news is much in the news these days.
• 0:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Perhaps you have followed the controversy and broiling the BBC, the British broadcasting
• 0:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: After the telegraph, a British media outlet published an exclusive report showing that the BBC doctored a Donald Trump speech to make him appear to encourage the Capitol Hill riot on January the 6th.
• 0:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: The version the BBC aired quoted Mr. Trump saying, we're going to walk down to the Capitol and I'll be with you and we fight.
• 1:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: And if we don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore, in quote.
• 1:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: However, the first sentence was spoken 15 minutes into the speech, while the second sentence came 54 minutes later.
• 1:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: In addition, the BBC edited out what Mr. Trump said following the first sentence, quote, I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard in quote.
• 1:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: The BBC has since apologized
• 1:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Mr. Trump has threatened legal action, there have been calls to defund the BBC, and the network's future direction, and government support could be endowed.
• 1:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: In a day when the public trust in mass media is at an all-time low, this story is not likely to encourage our faith, but to reinforce our skepticism.
• 2:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: However, our doubts about the media are themselves reflective of even more foundational doubts that affect all of us all of the time.
• 2:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: According to the New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, we are now in the Polly scene era.
• 2:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: His in-depth article is a fascinating recap of recent years and technology and culture.
• 2:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: With regard to computer and AI, the silicon foundation for the polysane is multiple intelligences, seamlessly networked, co-improving and co-evolving in real-time.
• 2:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: With regard to natural disasters and geopolitics, we are in a poly crisis.
• 2:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: With regard to global migration, immigration, and sexual and gender distinctions, we're in an area of polymorphic communities.
• 2:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: with regard to global trade and interconnected commerce we're in an era of polyeconomic networks.
• 2:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: In a poly scene world, Mr. Friedman concludes, quote, most of the problems we face do not have either or answers.
• 3:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: They have both and answers.
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: As a result, key actors must be able to occupy multiple states and competing ideas in tension at the same time.
• 3:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: In quotes, in a sense, Christians have been living in a polysene worldview for 20 centuries.
• 3:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: We believe that God is three persons in one essence.
• 3:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: The incarnate Christ was fully God and fully man.
• 3:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: God is sovereign while humans are free.
• 3:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Bible is divinely inspired and humanly written.
• 3:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: My first theology professor in seminary assured our class that if we cannot live with theological
• 3:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: But unlike our postmodern relativistic culture, we hold competing ideas in tension on a foundation of authoritative biblical truth, referencing Matthew 28 verse 19 and John 14 verse 26.
• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: We believe God is both three and one because the Bible declares Him to be so.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: We believe Jesus came as fully God and fully man because the Bible demonstrates both to be true in Colossians 2 verse 9 and Hebrews 4 verse 15.
• 4:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: We believe the Bible is divinely inspired and humanly written because it tells us so according to 2 Timothy 3 verse 16 and 2 Peter 1 verse 21.
• 4:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: We believe God is sovereign while we are free because Scripture teaches both as demonstrated in Psalm 115, verse 3 and Acts 3, verse 19.
• 4:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: And we are commissioned to declare the unchanging truth of Scripture to our fallen culture taught in 2 Timothy 4, verse 2, 2, can tend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.
• 4:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: According to Jude verse 3, this week we have discussed the necessity of faith in Christ and the importance of encouraging others to embrace such faith.
• 5:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Both stand on the foundation of biblical revelation, the absolute truth declared by God in His Word.
• 5:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Such truth is no more popular today than it's ever been.
• 5:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Seven centuries before Christ, the prophet declared in Isaiah 5 verses 20 and 21, woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
• 5:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and shrewd in their own sight.
• 5:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Long before postmodern philosophers convinced our culture that truth is the result of our subjective interpretation of our subjective experiences, Jesus explained the root of the problem in John 3 verse 19.
• 5:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is the judgment, the light has come into the world, and the people love darkness rather than the light, because their works were evil.
• 5:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm no different.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I want to focus on the parts of the Bible that reinforce what I want to do while ignoring the parts that do not.
• 6:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can easily declare biblical truth concerning same-sex attraction, for example, because I do not struggle with this temptation, but there are other temptations with which I do struggle, since about which the Bible is just as clear, but subjects which I am prone to look past.
• 6:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here's the good news.
• 6:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: When I submit these temptations to the truth of Scripture and ask the Spirit to empower my obedience, I experience a victory that verifies the veracity of God's Word and empowers me to share its transforming truth with my fellow Stugglers on the road.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: The more our post-truth culture rejects biblical truth.
• 6:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: The more it needs it, Paul Warren from Philippians 3, verse 19, that for some, their end is destruction, their God is their belly, and their glory is their shame, because they have minds set on earthly things.
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: For believers, by contrast, in verses 20 and 21, our citizenship is in heaven, and from it, we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
• 7:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, we are commissioned in 1 Peter 2, verse 9, 2, proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light, so that all may experience the transforming grace of Christ, the English novelist George Orwell warned.
• 7:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
• 7:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let's be revolutionaries together today to the glory
