WWUTT 1590 Q&A Year in Review (Part 1)

Christ Is Still on His Throne

Some big things have happened this year, and big things will happen next year. But no matter what happens, we remember that Christ is still on His throne. He reigns, and His purposes will stand when we understand the text.

Happy New Year from your friends at When We Understand The Text, a daily Bible study in the Word of God that we may shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Tell your friends about our ministry at www .wutt .com.

Here once again is Pastor Gabe. Thank you, Becky. You're welcome. Happy New Year. Happy New Year. Sort of. It is the very last... Yeah.

Happy New Year Eve. The very last day... Uh-huh. ...of 2021. Yes. And tomorrow it will be 2020... Two. Two. 2 .0. 2 .0. 2020. 2 .0. That's good. And here we are doing our year-end review. Now we're actually recording this on Tuesday.

So for us, in real time, we've got a few more days till the end of the year. Yes. If something crazy happens between now and the end of 2021... We won't miss it. That's right. Because we're only covering the first half of the year today.

Yes. Next week we cover the second half of the year. And so if anything happens here in this last week... Yeah. ...we'll throw it into the review next week.

And therefore, we will not have an hour-and-a-half long podcast. That's right. We'll still keep it minimal.

That's how this has always turned out. Whenever we do these year-end reviews, they always come out to be... Super long. Yeah. An hour-and-a-half. Yeah.

We don't have a patient infant. That's right. I mean, he's patient, but not that patient. Right now the baby's sleeping. Yes.

And so... And he just got to sleep. So we'll see. That's what I understand. Because Becky called me before she came and the baby was crying. I heard him crying in the background. Then she arrives and he's out cold.

So hopefully... Yep. ...he's going to snooze all the way through this. We'll get through the first 20 big news stories that we have of 2021. Awesome. This is our year-end review covering the biggest stories of the year and mostly those stories that had affected Christianity.

Normally, we do a Q &A on Friday. So you can still email us with your questions and we will answer them, not this next week, but the week after. Yep. And I got a building list already. Oh, yeah? From people that are sending their questions in.

Awesome. They're getting backed up. Good. We'll have plenty for those lulls. That's right. The email address is whenweunderstandthetextatgmail .com. Before getting to our list, reading to you a little scripture here from Philippians chapter 3, verses 20 and 21, a reminder that 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.

Whatever we are going through in the present, whatever you went through this year, wherever you live, whatever time that you are in, like maybe sometime in the future, somebody is listening to this program, know that your citizenship is not here on this earth, but in heaven.

Yes. If you are a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hold tight to that. And on that day that Christ returns, these bodies that decay on us, they fall apart, they get injured, they will be resurrected anew in our Father's kingdom.

And so hold fast to that hope that we have promised in Jesus Christ, our Lord, who forgives us our sins and gives us eternal life. Let's get to the year-end review. Now, of course, the biggest thing that has been going on all year has been COVID.

Right. Without question. Yes. Well, pretty close to everybody. Pretty much. Now, our lives really have not changed. We never changed anything. But we've heard a lot about it. We didn't stop going places.

We didn't start wearing masks. We have not been vaccinated. Our lives have continued on pretty much as normal.

It affected a little bit of our doctor's appointments and things like that. Yeah.

Going to stores, stuff like that. As it affected other people, it affected us, but our specific lifestyle, we didn't change. Yeah. It didn't stop us. As much as we've seen the narrative change over and over during the year, it's changing again.

This very week that we are recording this program, the COVID narrative is changing. On Monday, Joe Biden said that this couldn't be solved on the federal level, so he's handing it to the states. It's the state's responsibility.

Up to each individual state. Now remember, when he was running for president in 2020, he said that 200 ,000 people had died on Donald Trump's watch from COVID. He said this is unacceptable and any person who sees that much death should be removed, does not deserve to be president.

There have been four times that many deaths under Joe Biden's watch. Oh, wow. So, now what to make of his words? Do we say that he is not fit to be president? By his own judgment. I was going to say. We know that Biden is not fit to be president, but anybody who's pro-abortion should not be president, period.

But yeah, I mean, just taking his own judgment, being judged by the words that he has said, he does not deserve to be president of the United States. It depends if he remembers them. Well, anyway. Moving on.

Pray for the president. Definitely. And then on top of that, the CDC on the same day said we're cutting quarantine to five days from the 10 that they were recommending before. If a person has to be put.

It was 14 at the beginning. It was 14. And then it was 10. And now it's five. Okay. Yep. And on Monday evening, CNN, all of this is going on the same day, right? Joe Biden handing it to the states, the CDC reducing quarantine.

CNN that night has doctor guests on the air who are saying the masks don't work. And they're talking as if like this has always been the case. We've always said this. The masks don't work. Well, they might have always said that.

Just not on the. No, it was the same. Covered in the propaganda. It was the same doctors who before were saying love your neighbor by wearing a mask. Got it. Now it's the narrative's changing and we're just going to pretend like, see, we've always said this.

Right. Well, we said the masks were never going to prevent this. So that's how 2021 is ending. And one of the things we're going to. 2022 is beginning. That's right. One of the things we're going to talk about as we go through these big stories that have happened in the year, we'll get to one of these items here where we'll talk about the divisions that have happened among Christians, even within the church, regarding masks and vaccines.

Definitely. But first of all, our number one story and by number one, I mean, the first one that happened in the year that made Christian headlines. It was like the first big story of 2021. I don't remember that far back.

Becky hasn't seen this list. Nope. So every every one of these I'm going to mention is going to be like a walk down memory lane for her. Just like it is for you. All of all of your reactions are going to be genuine.

Yep. I mean, I rehearsed. No, no, no. I meant the listener. Oh, OK. Right. To the listener, it's a walk down memory lane for you as well. Yeah. I already know what this list is. Well, of course. I hope so.

So the first story of the year. Oh, dear. On January. Your face. He's got an Andre look. On January the 3rd, A-men and A-women. Oh, oh, ouch. Yes. That was an Andre look for a good reason. Do you remember this?

Yes. Do you remember? Now I can. I don't remember who, but I remember. I can cheat. I can cheat a little bit here. I don't have to remember all this stuff off the top of my head because I did a what video on it.

Oh, here we go. You ready? No, you're not off to a good start here, babe. This is not even the craziest thing that happened all year. Oh, my goodness. Here we go. On the opening day of the one hundred and seventeenth United States Congress, Representative Emanuel Cleaver got up to pray.

And that's when this happened.

May the Lord lift up the light of his countenance upon us and give us peace, peace in our families, peace across this land. And dare I ask, oh, Lord, peace even in this chamber now and evermore. We ask it in the name of the monotheistic God, Brahma and God known by many names, by many different faiths.

Amen.

And a woman. Yep. He just said amen and a woman as if amen is a gendered word. Amen means so be it. A woman means nothing unless he's singing a Michael Bolton song. And this was a prayer to Brahma, the Hindu God, not the true God of the Bible.

Romans one twenty one says, although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him. But they became futile in their thinking and their foolish hearts were darkened, hence concluding a prayer with a man and a woman.

This is the blasphemous pagan religion of the left who want to force everyone to bow to their sex gods and pay for their child sacrifices. They have the audacity to stand before Congress and pray for peace when their hands are full of innocent blood.

We read in second John one nine that everyone who does not abide in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the father and the son. When we understand the text.

So there you go. That was the first big story of the year. Oh my. And a woman. Did he think that was a name? Right. He thought it was a gendered word. Absolutely ridiculous. But that was not the biggest story of the year.

Just the first big story of the year. There we go. The next one. Oh, by the way, as we continue these stories, the infant woke up during that video. Yes. So I'm now holding him. Yes. We've got 19 more stories to go here.

Here we go. Hold on to your hats. Hopefully he'll hold on. He'll be good. He's sucking on his burp rag at the present. Yeah, he keeps burping. Number two, January 6, the riot on the US Capitol. Now this goes by different names.

The January 6 riot, the J6 riot. Some people just call it J6. On Wikipedia, it's listed as the 2021 United States Capitol attack. OK. So it's kind of like this day doesn't really have an official name to it.

Even though you heard about it over and over all year long. Everybody had a different name. That's right. Political pundits were sure that you did not forget. On January 6, 2021, a mob of supporters of President Donald Trump attacked the United States Capitol in Washington, D .C.

They sought to overturn his defeat in the 2020 presidential election by disrupting the joint session of Congress assembled to count electoral votes that would formalize then President-elect Joe Biden's victory.

And there are some that are saying it's the worst attack that's ever happened in the history of our nation. Like the worst thing that's ever happened to us since the Civil War. No. The riots of 2020 had more long-term devastating effects on major cities in this nation than the J6 riot.

Definitely. Oh, my goodness. I mean, it's almost like people forgot that there was a riot going on in Washington, D .C. in May and June of last year, where they had to put up barricades in front of the White House and they put the president and his family down in a bunker.

Yep. Because had those people gotten past those barricades, who knows what they were going to do. Right. Should they get into the White House. And and I have praised the Secret Service's restraint in the midst of all of that.

Because if the people had gotten past those barricades, which the Secret Service put up, the Secret Service would have killed them trying to get into the White House. And it would have been within their right to do that.

It would have been a bloodbath. Yes. So people's lives were saved by the fact that the Secret Service was keeping them out. And all of that was going on six months before. But all of a sudden, we have amnesia when the J6 riot happens.

It's like, oh, no, look at what Donald Trump supporters are like. Yeah.

Because Antifa is Donald Trump supporters. Yeah.

All of the all of the rioting that's still going on in major cities today is not being done by conservatives. Incidentally, when I looked up these stories, I relied upon some different resources to kind of chronicle out the the 40 biggest stories of the year.

Sure. And one of those sources that I looked up, I can't remember the name of it now, is a religious news service type of a website. But it wasn't RNS. OK. They listed this as the number one story of the year.

This is the story that generated the most traffic to their website. Was the January 6th riot at the U .S. Capitol. They just forgot the A women. That was I think that was on their list. It just wasn't the top.

It didn't generate the most traffic. But it is true that you had the A men and A women thing happen just three days before that. And that story's gone. Yeah. Now after the riot on the U .S. Capitol. I feel grateful for that, too.

Quickly forgotten. Now, I wrote a blog on that and I said, so in the in the same place where the representative had stood there and prayed to Brahma and said, amen, and a woman, then you had rioters come and stand in those places in the Capitol.

And it's a judgment. Yeah. It's a judgment of God on this nation. What happened on January 6th was wrong. Don't hear us saying that. Well, there were worse things that happened. Therefore, January 6th was not that bad.

It was still bad. Yeah. It was still bad. I've been consistent from the very beginning that those people were crazy. That never should have happened. That kind of lawlessness should never take place.

If we were going to oppose. If that was our children, they would be disciplined severely.

Somebody wasn't getting spankings growing up as a kid. That's all I'm saying.

We would probably allow our child to go to jail, honestly. Yeah. Right. That's what you did.

You're going to sit there. That's right. And we're still hearing about investigations into all of this. People are being prosecuted. Some are still in jail because of this. Still being cleaned up, but really not the worst thing that has happened to our nation.

Agreed. Not at all. Any given day in an abortion clinic is far worse than anything that happened on January 6th at the U .S. Capitol. You know, on the same day, Raphael Warnock won the Senate seat in Georgia in a runoff.

But that's one of those stories that was just kind of forgotten because January 6th riot was that was kind of the leading headline. Number three, third big story of the year happened on January 20th. It was President Joe Biden sworn in as 46th president of the United States.

Now what would that have to do with being a major Christian headline? Well, there were a lot of evangelicals that were pretty gaga over that. Trump still had the majority of evangelicals voting for him in the election in 2020.

But there has been a swing to the left. And even among evangelical leadership, there were people that voted for Biden. I had arguments with some of them online. And even people like Beth Moore were online doing like a live play-by-play of everything that was going on during the inauguration.

And she was just gushing over the stuff that she was observing. Thabiti Anuabueli talking about how wonderful it was that we have a a black woman who is vice president of the United States. I mean, forget that she's one of the most pro-abortion, pro-LGBTQ politicians in American history.

But he's proud of the fact that a black woman is vice president. Also, Biden is only the second Catholic president of the United States. John F. Kennedy was the first. Joe Biden is the second. He's Catholic?

He's Catholic. Oh, he says he is. Well, that's interesting. Yeah. No real true convictions of the Roman Catholic Church, but he claims to be Catholic. OK. Yeah.

Is that one of those things where you're going to run for president? So you got to choose one?

No, he's always claimed to be Catholic. OK. But yeah, I mean, when it came to running for president in 2020, he moved as far as the to the left as he had to move in order to win that. So Albert Mueller, for example, on the briefing, he talked about how between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, Bernie Sanders won the argument, even though Joe Biden won the nomination because Biden had to become Sanders, basically, right, in order to get Sanders base to vote for him.

I could see that to become president. So there you go. That's number three. Number four, January 22nd, Dr. Tom Buck makes a comparison between Kamala Harris and Jezebel.

Oh, do you remember this?

He didn't. No, he did not call Kamala Harris Jezebel. He didn't call her Jezebel. Right. That was what all the news sources were saying. Right.

That's what I'm saying. It was misconstrued so bad.

His actual tweet was this. This is the tweet that he made on January 22nd. He said, I can't imagine any truly God fearing Israelite who would have wanted their daughters to view Jezebel as an inspirational role model because she was a woman in power.

Right. But all the sort of like the Washington Post, they're running these stories saying Tom Buck called her. Yeah. Well, he's saying Southern Baptist pastor. Yeah. And they decided to invent this idea that Jezebel is a racist term.

And oh, there was another one. I can't remember the name of the guy over toward Dallas now. There was another guy that did it, too. He didn't do it on Twitter. He did it in a sermon. Oh. But they found the sermon and ran that all over the place as well.

So they're talking about these Baptist pastors that are comparing Kamala Harris to Jezebel. I'm pretty sure he did actually say that Kamala Harris was Jezebel. Well. So this tweet quickly set off a firestorm of controversy.

Sarah Pulliam Bailey of the Washington Post was really the first one to respond. And she said it took two days in office for a Southern Baptist pastor to call Vice President Kamala Harris Jezebel. I'm going to guess she's not getting an invitation to speak at the convention as former Vice President Mike Pence did in 2018.

You're darn tootin' she's not going to get an invite. But yeah, it was huge around here in our church because we had phone calls. Galore. We had threats. I mean, we eventually took like our contact information down on our website just to kind of stifle it all.

And then once it calmed down, we put all that back up again. But yeah, I mean, that was a big deal. It was run in national papers. It was talked about and debated among evangelicals. And it happened right here on our soil.

There you go. Right here in Lindale, Texas. Congratulations, Pastor Tom. You made my list in 2021. Now, I'm actually on this list, too. And I have never made my own list before, but I did this year. You can probably guess what it was.

No, I'm drawing a blank. You won't find out until next week. OK, well, good. So we go on here to number five, February 3rd. What is Christian nationalism? Christianity Today ran an article under that title.

What is Christian nationalism? And this became a big talk among evangelicals, especially following the January 6th riots and all the conversation and debate that that stirred up. So what is Christian nationalism exactly?

You've heard this term thrown around a lot. It's been used heavily over the course of 2021. It may be the term in evangelicalism for this year, Christian nationalism. All right. But what is it?

Nobody knows. No idea. Is it one of those phrases that everybody has their own definition? Or is it just like an insert word?

It's just a catch all term to criticize any Christian who gets political.

Oh, OK. So it's kind of like how Karen went in and out, you know, and the boomer kind of came in.

Right. Any woman who's kind of making a ruckus and complaining about things and wants to talk to the manager, we call her Karen. Sure. Right. Just like Karen becomes that catch all word. Right. That's what Christian nationalist is.

OK. Any Christian who starts talking politics, you're probably going to get called a Christian nationalist. So what is it exactly? Well, here's some varying definitions. All right. According to the article in Christianity Today, Christian nationalism is the belief that the American nation is defined by Christianity and that the government should take active steps to keep it that way.

What's wrong with that? Yeah. If we want our nation to be a Christian nation, what's the problem with that? But Christianity Today, Ed Stetzer, all these guys that have been writing on this all year long, David French, Russell Moore, they've all spoken about this in a completely negative sense.

Now, there is a way, of course, in which a professing Christian can make our our national citizenship. Bless you, son. Can make our national citizenship an idol. You know, patriotism, Americanism. You can you can turn that into an idol.

Yeah. We got to be careful about that. But just because a Christian starts talking politics doesn't mean all. Hold on. You're doing something heretical. Yep. And there was what was the podcast I listened to recently, the Plowcast.

In the Plowcast, they called Christian nationalism heresy. A few minutes later, they were talking about a kind of Christian nationalism that's good. Oh, so is it heresy or not? That doesn't make any sense.

I mean, it just it exemplifies that it's a catch all term. It's whatever I want it to mean in the moment that I want it to mean this. All right. So you've got like some other definitions. Grant Gaines, Christian nationalism was attempting to legislate God's moral law.

Again, don't really see a problem with that. No. Jonathan Lehman, Christian nationalism is confusing Christian identity and national identity or church membership and citizenship. But who's doing that?

Who's confusing their church membership with their American citizenship? It's a definition without an example.

Yeah, I'm lost. Let's go on.

I don't want to dwell on that one too much. We could do a whole show, though, on how ridiculous the term Christian nationalism has become. Let's not. Number six. Number six, February 5th, the Supreme Court blocks bans on religious gatherings.

So remember, there were different states that were trying to prevent people from going to church because of COVID lockdowns and all this other kind of thing. The Supreme Court says, nope, can't do that.

Good. So thank you, Supreme Court. Yes. But I mean, it was this never should have happened in the first place. Agreed.

But since it did, it's a good step in the right direction. I don't know.

You know, you got to give them something. Yeah, well, you give them an inch and they think they're a ruler. Yeah, that's true. So which brings us to Canada. Oh, boy. Number seven, February 7th, James Coates goes to jail.

Oh, yeah. That was a big deal. Yeah. Now, there were several pastors that had felt the tyranny of their government because they wanted to go to church. They wanted to keep their churches open. Right. So you had pastors that were fined.

You had pastors that went to jail. But the biggest. Right. Yeah. And going underground, which is what James Coates Church ended up doing. They continued to have services, but from an undisclosed location.

James Coates, though, was probably the biggest name or the story that had gotten the most attention because he wanted to go to church. Grace Life Church in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

And then that led to other churches that were not as strong in faith to just shut down completely.

Yeah, they got scared, wanted to please man rather than God. Right. And so they shut down their churches. But James Coates wanted to honor the Lord. Yes. And so kept his church open. And we saw all kinds of stories about fences going up around the church.

They had rented fences and had fenced off the church. And James Coates went to jail over that. And we prayed for him. We talked about it here on the program. I wrote a blog about it as well. That would have been, oh, I thought I had it up in front of me here.

And now it's disappeared. Early February. Anyway, in early February. Early to mid February. I had featured a transcript from Jacob Raume, another pastor in Canada who was talking about, you know, just some of the cowardly pastors that weren't standing up against the government.

Now, the primary motivation here was not to oppose the government. Right. It was to honor God. Right. But to not fear man, instead fear the Lord.

And that's part of their law anyway. So. Right. They have religious freedom. Their government was going against their laws anyway. Yeah.

So. There's religious freedom in Canada, too. So not upholding their own laws and rather afflicting these pastors who were just going to church in the midst of all the COVID nonsense, which again, as we're coming to the close of the year, there's more and more coming out that is revealing the lies that we've been told for the last two years.

Yeah.

And I can't imagine overseas. I don't hear their news. So the ones that are more locked down than what we are in America. Oh, of course. Yeah.

Hi, guy. You doing OK? And of course, one of the news stories I should include in here is September 1. This guy was born. That's next week. That's right. We're not that far into the year yet. Let's see if he'll let us get through 20.

Now, I have a bonus on this next one. OK. So it's not really counted as one of our news stories. OK. Because we talked about it last year. OK. It was a story that continued on into 2021. And that was the Ravi Zacharias scandal.

Oh, OK. So all of the sex scandals that he was in really came out on February 11 as confirmed. So all the suspicions were confirmed. It was realized that it was even worse than we thought it was. He had multiple cell phones that had hundreds of women's numbers, text messages, photos from them, like lewd photographs.

And it really supported something that I said back in October of 2020 when I said that Zacharias' ministry was completely discredited and RZIM should just completely shut their doors, not do an apology tour, not rebrand.

They just needed to shut down. And there were some people that were upset at me for that and said, no, we should wait until the report comes out. And I said, look, the report's going to disclose one of two things.

Either they will try to lie about how extensive it was of what Ravi Zacharias did or they will actually be honest and we'll find out it's way worse than we thought it was. And that's exactly what we got.

Yeah, we got the honesty, thankfully. But in the honesty, it was bad. It was revealed that Zacharias may not have ever even been a Christian. Yeah, he confessed it with his mouth, but it was not in his actions.

Man, that is sad.

Yeah. Because I know a lot of people have looked up to him. A lot of people. A lot. I mean, his death was a big deal.

He has influenced a lot of people. Yeah. His death was one of the major news stories of 2020. Yeah, that's true. That's crazy. You had, you know, even the president of the United States saying how sad it was to have lost a theologian like Ravi Zacharias.

But turns out that his life was a total lie. So anyway, that's not that doesn't count as one of our news stories. But just to mention it, since it was one of the big events of the year. That's a terrible bonus.

Can I trade it in for another? Yeah, that's right. Give me a different story there. Number eight, February, February 25th, the Equality Act passes the House. Now, the Equality Act. Well, I wrote an article on my blog that was the Equality Act makes everybody potato heads.

Okay. Because on the same day that the Equality Act passed, we got that story from Hasbro, who was announcing that the Mr. and Mr. Potato Head was getting dropped, and it was just going to be Potato Head.

Got it. So there was no longer Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head. It was just Potato Head. Awesome. And so really, the Equality Act does that to everybody. There's no man and woman. There's no male or female. It's just everybody is Potato Head.

That's what you get in the Equality Act. Now, it goes to the Senate. And we have not seen the Senate do anything with the Equality Act in 2021. So I guess that's something we're going to find out in 2022, what the Senate's going to end up doing with that.

This has passed the House before same people, same people who have been behind this act for years. That it's passed the House before, but it always died in committee in the Senate. And now we're waiting to see what's going to happen with this in the Senate.

But it would basically make it illegal to say that a man pretending to be a woman. Right. It would be illegal to say, no, that's still a man. Yeah. That's what the Equality Act is going to do.

Illegal like you get arrested kind of illegal?

Yeah, probably. Like if our church is proclaiming that a man is a man and a woman is a woman, a man cannot become a woman. Boys cannot become girls under the Equality Act. That would be considered discrimination.

So we could get fined or shut down or lose our tax exempt status. You know, it would be some kind of penalty like that. But that's what would come under the Equality Act if it passes the Senate.

So be in prayer for that. That's right.

To not be dropped. The Senate would have wisdom and kill that thing in committee. Now, there was recently a poll that came out just this last year or this last week, rather. OK. Of 2021. A Rasmussen poll has come out and has said that 75 percent of Americans believe there are only two genders, man and woman, male and female.

OK. Which means 25 percent of the country is certifiably insane. Well, there you go.

But yeah. And overruling everything. Exactly. You have shoved in my face. Yes.

Seventy five percent of the country understands male and female. And yet the Equality Act would push upon everybody in the country. No, there is no male and female. Like the House, the House rules. They ruled on this at the beginning of the year.

Even in legislation that comes to the House, there cannot be designations of male and female, not aunt or uncle, mister or missus. I mean, that just makes things hugely confusing.

What about those languages that are.

Right. I know that have masculine and feminine. Yes. Right. It's like that. Wow. And there are woke people in other countries that speak languages that have masculine and feminine words. And they're running into this.

They want to they want to dump that the word pants has a masculine and feminine.

So then you're going to get rid of the word totally. Right. I know. What are you going to do with that?

Let's not talk to one another. Not really as big a problem in English, but it is in other languages where they have masculine and feminine words. Definitely. I remember when this is going to be a totally a side story, but the film Dances with Wolves back in the 90s.

Kevin Costner movie. Remember that? OK, I remember reading about that movie that they showed it to the Native American. I can't remember the tribe, the Native American tribe that's in that film. OK. But they showed it to indigenous persons that were descended from that tribe that's represented in the movie.

Sure. And they were watching the movie and they were laughing all the way through it because the language that they were speaking was actually the feminine form of their language. So they're watching these warrior men talk about themselves as women, basically using the language the way that women would speak it.

All right. And so they're like, yeah, you guys did terrible.

But isn't that just Hollywood? Of course. They always like, you know, if you have a career that you are in, usually the army and they're like, no, that's not how the army works. Yeah.

Yeah. Soldiers that watch war films.

Detectives. They're like, no, that's not how cop movies. No, that's not how ER nurses like to giggle. Yeah, right. That doesn't happen in a hospital. That's not how it works.

Where in the world was I? Number nine, March 1st, Bethany Christian Services will allow LGBTQ parents to foster and adopt. Now, this was a Christian adoption agency, and they made the decision that they were going to allow LGBTQ parents to foster children and adopt children.

And this was before the Supreme Court had even made a ruling on this. We were still waiting for the Supreme Court to come out with their decision as to whether or not LGBTQ parents or adoption agency should be required to give children to LGBTQ families.

Well, I mean, if churches are accepting of them, LGBTQ. Which is what we're seeing.

Right. Evangelicalism becoming more and more accepting of that.

It will overflow into Christian organizations as well.
