Guests: David and Jason Benham, authors, Whatever the Cost
And they [Christians] overcame him [Satan] because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death. Revelation 12:11

For millennia, there has been a cost to being a Christian, as all manner of persecution and death have come to Christians around the world. A barbaric, evil example of this recently occurred when Islamists beheaded 21 Coptic Christians on a beach in Libya.

Political correctness is defined as “demonstrating progressive ideals, especially by avoiding vocabulary that is considered offensive, discriminatory, or judgmental, especially concerning race and gender.”
In our day and age, there are two additional subjects that political correctness demands nary a discouraging word be spoken: Islam and homosexuality.

In the opening lines of President Obama’s State of the Union address this past Tuesday, he said the following:
“America, for all that we’ve endured; for all the grit and hard work required to come back; for all the tasks that lie ahead, know this: The shadow of crisis has passed, and the State of the Union is strong.” (full transcript here)
But is that true?…
