Write in a book what you see, and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea. –Jesus to John, Revelation 1:11
Last week on the program, pastor John MacArthur joined us to discuss “Christ’s Call to Reform […]
You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you? Galatians 3:1
In the opening chapters of the final book of the Bible, Revelation, Jesus writes a message to each of seven historic churches in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey).
Two of the seven churches received commendations for their faithfulness while five were warned to repent of their errant ways or there would be severe consequences.
So considering the Evangelical church in America today, what […]
Recently on the program we have discussed how wide the worldview divide has become in our nation. On one side there are those with a traditional American worldview—they generally believe in God, more limited government, free market economics, equal opportunity for all, national sovereignty, border control, and heterosexual morality/marriage, and individual liberties of life, speech, and religion. President Trump and Republican Party candidates generally align with this worldview.
On the other side are those who have […]
No one wants to be considered a fool; rather, most everyone desires to be esteemed and respected.
But this won’t be the case for those who follow Jesus. The Bible says, “the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing” (1 Corinthians 1:18). In other words, no matter how educated or how winsome or how accomplished a Christian […]
Then Jonah began to go through the city one day’s walk; and he cried out and said, “Yet forty days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” Then the people of Nineveh believed in God; and they called a fast and put on sackcloth from the greatest to the least of them. Jonah 3:4-5
We live in the most prosperous, most powerful, most influential, most charitable, most free nation with the most opportunity in history.
And yet despite all […]
See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. Colossians 2:8
The reason the framers of The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel wrote the document is spelled out in its Introduction: “We are deeply concerned that values borrowed from secular culture are currently undermining Scripture in the areas of race and […]
The nomination process of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to fill the vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court has been the biggest story of the year in America. And for good reason—if confirmed, Kavanaugh will have lifetime tenure and be the deciding vote on the nation’s highest court, a nine-person body which rules on some of the most pivotal issues of our day with regard to religious freedom, abortion, and many others.
The ferocious intensity went from […]
For the nation and the kingdom which will not serve you will perish, and the nations will be utterly ruined. Isaiah 60:12
Last week on the program, we examined the question, “Is President Trump Making America Great” (as per his campaign slogan to “Make America Great Again”).
We first looked at whether America is or isn’t a great nation and how humanistic and Christian-based worldviews arrive at very different answers to that question.
Then we looked at […]
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. Proverbs 14:34
Back in August, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo stated, ”We’re not going to make America great again. It was never that great.”
This is the sentiment of many on the political left, who view America as historically and structurally racist against blacks, sexist against women, intolerant toward Muslims and other non-Christians, bigoted toward homosexuals and transgenders, and not nearly helpful enough to the […]
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8
“Social justice is a gospel issue.” If you’ve heard this said once recently, you’ve likely heard it dozens of times.
This phrase has become the rallying cry of prominent evangelical leaders, many of which are under 50, who believe that Christians and the church […]
