Some Bless, Most Curse—
Why the Widely Divergent Stance toward Israel?

CURRENT Program, October 11, 2025

CURRENT PROGRAM: October 11, 2025

GUEST: Mary Jane Wheaton, David’s Mom

The great preacher Charles Spurgeon said, “Never could it be possible for any man to estimate what He owes to a godly mother.”

I heartily concur with that sentiment, as God blessed my Dad with a godly wife and my siblings and I with a godly mother. All of us have been presently and eternally impacted by our mother, Mary Jane Wheaton, who was brought to saving faith in Christ in her 20s, and by God’s grace, has followed Him to today at age 91.

It has been an annual tradition on The Christian Worldview to interview my Mom and Dad in May and June over Mother’s Day and Father’s Day weekends. It’s always enriching to hear their perspective on matters of life and faith, as they both were Christ-followers and married for nearly 70 years. The Lord brought my Dad home to heaven in 2023 at the same age my mom is today.

My mom will be our guest this weekend on this Mother’s Day special program. She will recount how God saved her, who has influenced her, how society has changed its view of women, what a wife should pursue, and much more.

God’s Word describes in Proverbs 31 the character of an “excellent wife” and mother, which says in part:

“Strength and dignity are her clothing,
And she smiles at the future.

She opens her mouth in wisdom,
And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.

She looks well to the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.

Her children rise up and bless her;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:

“Many daughters have done nobly,
But you excel them all.”

Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.”

May women listening today be encouraged to pursue God’s design for a woman, wife, and mother. And may young men be looking for this kind of woman to marry and may married men be cultivating this character in their wives.
