I think a lot of Christians look at all of this and say will I result happened to George Floyd in a certain thing that was horrible.

Any human being was a pulse should be should be able to see that and see that I was at the terrible thing that happened when their sign saying will boy, I don't on that for these riots in writing for these these protests assume it is his rage filled protests there trying to figure out what to make of this whole thing how to process this whole thing and where a biblical Christian should land so that both of you. Just to make a summary comment if you're talking to a listener today just trying to process this whole thing. How would you reason with someone and persuade someone where they should land as they see what is taking place in our country right now. I think the idea that somehow someone wearing a badge or a police uniform sin repellent. It keeps them from sinning is foolish and I think we got identify know and understand admin say that the entire time he got to diagnose the fact that human beings are going to sin. Sinners actually do sin, and when they do their art temporal penalties for that there are judicial penalties for that at the end of the day all will answer to God for their works of iniquity in this life and it is only through the gospel of Jesus Christ that hearts are transformed and changed the people absolutely inherit eternal life, and we can see a different I was talking with Darrell earlier today and we were talking about Jesus affected Jean Jesus didn't come to save society.

He came to save sinners in the idea that we're going to somehow fix society and create utopia is foolishness. During one of our episodes. Darrell unpacked the word utopia Darrell to tell what you what you talked about with regard to the meaning of the word utopia of utopia is used a lot as a place of destination, a place of perfect harmony, unity and togetherness. But we look at the word, by definition, it actually literally translates to mean nowhere. As with the word utopia means. It means nowhere.

We recognize the fact that this for the believer. This is not our home.

The idea that were going to somehow transform society to that that to be it take to look like this utopia that's in, that's in the mind of whoever's creating these ideas is absolute foolishness. The only way we experience freedom from the penalty from sin, freedom from the power of sin and freedom from the presence of sin is by and through the blood of Jesus Christ. I have encouraged listeners to repent today to bow the knee to turn from stand in place the full faith in Jesus Christ
