In Today's Episode of The Utmost Podcast, we dive into some news and 1st Thessalonians 4. 

The big news is coming out of China where a new app named SmartReligeon affects millions of Christians nationwide. Users are required to give all their personal information and are required to make "reservations" in order to attend church. This is supposedly done in the name of "safety" but this story seems to have darker implications. 

In some more hopeful news, a new Congressional Family Caucus has been created with the goal of "Preserving the Natural Family, one man and one woman committed to each other for life." The proponents of this even quote the Bible in Deuteronomy 6 which says "diligently instruct your children to love God and to obey His commandments." 

In sports, this month of course is March Madness, and Pastor Andrew reminiscences of a fun story from his college days. 

Going back in time we have This Day In History March 13, 1925, was arguably the most famous trial involving the Bible. The Scopes trials aptly referred to as the Scopes Monkey Trial, was a court case in which lawyers argued as to whether the Bible was meant to be interpreted literally. 

As for 1st Thessalonians 4, we get into the teachings of Paul where he urges the church to abstain from immorality and to not try and take advantage of our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Instead, we are instructed to live a quiet peaceable life and let God handle the rest.
