1. In this episode Chad shows us that the problem of sin starts long before we are born, and the consequences are devastating.
  2. Godly, upright in heart, righteous. Sinful, sorrowful, wasting away.
  3. Craig and Troy love Psalm 51 because of the truth it speaks: we are sinful, and God is gracious. When God cleanses, we are indeed made clean.
  4. Even from the moment of the Fall, God has never left us without His gracious promise of redemption. God moves first to cover us.
  5. Satan didn't lie, but he told Adam and Eve exactly what would happen. The only thing he didn't say is whether or not they would like it.
  6. The struggle is real. That is to say, the struggle with sin. Can we make ourselves holy? Can we find within ourselves the strength to make it better?
  7. Pain and suffering; it can feel like punishment from an angry God, and we try to figure out the cause, to our own frustration.
  8. Waiting on God can seem like slow motion torture sometimes.
  9. Everyone is stained by sin. Who can stand before God? Who can dwell in His holy presence? Only the one who walks blamelessly.
  10. Psalm 2 ends by describing the state of blessing for those take refuge in God. In this life we are often left to wondering why God, who loves the world so much, is so rejected and hated by so many that He created.
  11. The Thinking Fellows revisit the doctrine of sin.
  12. We invited Old Testament and Hebrew scholar, Chad Bird, to talk to us about Proverbs 31. This passage talking about a wife of noble character is often discussed in women's Bible studies or events. It's used to inspire, accuse, exhaust, or at least show us some kind of standard that we feel we can never reach.
