About this listen

We might be stunned to realize it, but the characteristic of nice never shows up anywhere in the Bible. God is never called nice. Christian virtue, the fruit of the Spirit, never includes nice. Jesus was never described as nice. There aren't even any biblical stories about someone being nice. So why then is it so prevalent in Christian sub-culture today? Or worse, how does being nice make us susceptible to being manipulated and programmed? How does the quality of nice—and neither Mark nor I are against nice people!—lead to resentment? How is nice compared to kindness? Also in this 'sode Mark and I reflect on the invasion and disruption of a Southern Baptist church in St. Paul, MN, by godless agitators. What does that mean? What does it represent? What should the Church begin doing as a response? Come and think with us about how NICE is a marvelous way for Christians to get sucked into the Matrix.Come and think with us about how NICE is a marvelous way for Christians to get sucked into the Matrix.
