Bible-obeying Christians and churches are being increasingly pressed and marginalized as our society turns away from a Christian worldview in favor of human reasoning that rejects God and His Word.
On November 12, the first Saturday after the national election, we will gather to exhort one another and the church to follow the apostle Paul’s charge to “be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work […]
The forgotten practice of Christian hospitality. This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
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 […]
Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaint. 1 Peter 4:8-9
Last week on the program, Rosaria Butterfield shared her amazing journey to faith in Christ from being a lesbian activist professor of women’s studies specializing in queer theory at Syracuse University. You can read Rosaria’s story in her book, The […]
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 […]
Have you heard about the Hebrew Roots movement? This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
Those in the Hebrew Roots movement believe the church has lost the authentic Jewishness of early Christianity and that a deeper Christian walk is found in adhering to Old Testament Torah laws.
Christians are free to observe Jewish laws. BUT, Scripture is clear that you are not saved or sanctified by doing so. And that we should not place […]
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: […]
“…whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave; just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” —Jesus (Matthew 20:26-28)
“Leadership” is the latest trend in the American evangelical church. Influential pastors such as Bill […]
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 […]
