Last week we heard Rosaria Butterfield tell her story of coming to faith in Christ, from being a lesbian professor of women’s studies specializing in queer theory at Syracuse University.

This week we heard the other side of the story, from pastor Ken Smith, who wrote a letter to Rosaria in response to an op-ed she had written in the newspaper […]

TCW Minute: An Unlikely Convert (Week of Sept. 12, 2016)

2016-10-26T10:14:08-05:00Sep 12, 2016|Categories: The Christian Worldview Minute|

There’s no bridge too far.  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

The Bible says the unbeliever is “dead in trespasses and sins” and thus every conversion to new life in Christ is a supernatural work of God.

And yet some conversions seem quite unlikely.  Take Rosaria Butterfield.  She was a lesbian academic, specializing in queer theory … and then she came to faith in Christ.

How did that happen?  She shares her story in […]

And you were dead in your trespasses and sins … But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the […]

GUEST:  Steven Kreloff, Pastor, Lakeside Community Chapel

Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day—things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.  Colossians 2:16-17

Jesus and the majority of the early church were Jewish.  They followed many of the Jewish religious laws […]

So what about church leadership conferences?  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

Some of the most well-known pastors and churches in America stage leadership conferences which are simulcast to hundreds of churches, reaching hundreds of thousands of people.

The implicit message is, “We have a successful leadership model that impacts tens of thousands at multiple locations.  Come and learn our best practices so you can do the same in your church.”

The question is: […]

“Leadership” is the latest trend in the American evangelical church.  Influential pastors such as Bill […]

2016-10-26T10:14:10-05:00Aug 22, 2016|Categories: Church, The Christian Worldview Minute|

What’s a parachurch?  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

Wikipedia defines a parachurch as a “Christian faith-based organization that works outside and across denominations to engage in social welfare and evangelism, usually independent of church oversight.”

Examples of parachurch organizations are numerous, such as Focus on the Family, World Vision, Samaritan’s Purse, Youth with a Mission, and Bible Study Fellowship.

Since a parachurch is not under the authority of the local church, there is […]

TCW Minute: The Atheist Delusion (Week of Aug. 15, 2016)

2016-10-26T10:14:10-05:00Aug 15, 2016|Categories: The Christian Worldview Minute|Tags: , , , |

Are atheists deluded?  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

The short answer is, yes.  Or as Psalm 14 puts it, “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’”

In Ray Comfort’s new documentary film, The Atheist Delusion, he establishes that the overwhelming evidence for God is beyond a reasonable doubt.  No one thinks a book is made without an author, so why would anyone conclude the vastly more complex instruction book […]
