Joes Biden's response to Uganda's legislation of the Anti-homosexual bill is more of a threat than it is a policy. Thank you so much Dr. Al Mohler, I was all ears tuned in to the biggest headlines this week, about my own country Uganda, and a Christian with biblical values, it's a joy to see that in the parliament, we still have sane people, unlike the western nations. God bless you Dr. for such an eye opening news analysis.

This podcast Monday-Friday is usually issued around 4AM Central Time. Today, Monday 10/3/2022, at 3:30 PM Central, The Briefing installment for this day has not come through on Castbox. There have been some other recent later in the day feed updates for The Briefing. Is Castbox suppressing or censoring this program?

Regarding your comments on vegetarians, it may be worth noting that when God first created the Earth, before sin, there was no killing of animals. Also in the new earth (revelation) there will be no death. So like it or not, in its most perfect state, we will be vegetarians. Also it is not a valid argument to say its impossible to feed all humans without meat. What do you think the cows eat? It's more efficient to eat plants (higher caloric potential) than to eat animals that eat the plants. And I'm not even a vegetarian by the way.

My pastor husband has been through all those scenarios when confronting cohabitating couples. In pre-marital counseling he will ask them to at least love separately until the wedding day. Our church suffered a split because he attempted to require a staff member to move out of his situation where he was living (reportedly platonically) with a woman not his wife. Mind you, he also offered to help the staff find a new situation and offered financial aid, since money was used as the reason for the cohabitation.

I enjoyed the discussion about choices. It seems that we don't want to grow up and be adults, but would rather be taken care of. This works out great for loving parents who want the best for their kids and continue to move them towards independence and responsibilities. What does it say about an untrustworthy government who is capitalizing on our desire to be taken care of and want to take away"adult" behavior and choices and want us to be ever dependent upon them? Scary thought!

1/8/21 #purplestates #citystates If people are "fleeing" government regulation from California, let's say, why would they keep voting FOR that government regulation in their new state? It seems that if you want to escape something like socialism you don't try to perpetuate it in your new state. I guarantee you that Cubans, Venezuelans don't do that. They are happy to have freedom FROM government intrusion.
