Tune in to hear Pastor Wilson talk about the Florida school shooting and gun control basics. Then he plugs Idea of Decline in Western History, and wraps things up with a talk about the Greek word “Akrasia”. Happy Plodding! 

Show Notes:

Gun Control Basics

• government collapsed during Florida Shooting
• people naturally cry out to their gods (government)
• people are crying out to the same government that failed them
• the right to keep and bear was not about deer hunting, it was adopted so that people could fight against the rise of tyranny from government agents
• 1.) trump is literally hitler 2.) we should surrender all our guns to him

Idea of Decline in Western History

• written by Arthur Herman 
• how it came about that people assume things are falling apart
• you would think with the doctrine of evolution this would not be the case
• read this as a companion to your study of eschatology

Akrasia

• means excess or lack of control
• used twice in NT (1. Cor. 7:5, Matt. 23:25)
• one of the reasons that nonbelievers, even nonbelievers in positions of influence and importance, cannot control themselves is that self-control is a fruit of the spirit
• they can control one thing, but not the other
• the Spirit gives us the ability to be self-controlled across the board
