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 […]
Lessons from the Kavanaugh nomination. This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
After weeks of drama, including accusations of sexual assault, protests, and non-stop media coverage, the Senate narrowly voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
There are many lessons here. One is that elections matter. Imagine what kind of judge Hillary Clinton would have nominated had she been president. Consider Kavanaugh’s chances of confirmation if Republicans hadn’t held a slight majority […]
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 […]
The power of accusation. This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
According to those who work with him, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s nominee to fill the Supreme Court vacancy, has lived an upstanding life. But very late in the confirmation process, an accusation was brought forward that Kavanaugh, 36 years ago when he was 17, sexually groped a 15-year-old girl.
Even without corroborating evidence, the damage has been done to his reputation.

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 […]
Is President Trump making America great? This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
Great nations typically have a strong military, prosperous economy, and domestic security and equity.
President Trump has strengthened America in many of these categories. But Christians should pray for him to set a better moral and interpersonal example.
Psalm 2 says: “Take warning, O judges of the earth. Worship the Lord with reverence … Do homage to the Son, that He not […]
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 […]
Social justice is a gospel issue? This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
That statement—“Social justice is a gospel issue”—has become the rallying call of many evangelicals, as in Christians must work to end perceived oppression. But is that biblically supportable?
Well, what did Jesus say and do? Did He work to end the structures of racism, sexism, and the myriad of other injustices of His day? The answer is no. He preached 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 […]
