Show Notes:

Equality of Outcome:

• We all think that equality is a good thing, but we need to look at the context of the equality

• Conservatives want equality of opportunity, while Progressive’s want equality of outcome
• Conservatives want equality in the rules, while Progressives want equality of the scoreboard
• In order to keep everything perfectly equal, you would have to be God

Holiness:

• Written by J.C. Ryle

• Ryle is a master of clarity, and is a very straight forward writer
• In this book he presents the classic reformed understanding of sanctification
• Ryle shows what it is to grow in holiness and is an enormous help to Christians who want to be holy in God’s sight

Apalgeo:

• Means to be past feeling

• Only used once in the New Testament: Ephesians 4:19-20
• This refers to one whose conscience is seared, whose moral sensibilities have been deadened
• Guilt is a gift from God, without it we would destroy ourselves
