  • 147: Voting for Sober-minded Hope
    Aug 2 2024

    As we enter the month of August it’s time to turn our attention to presidential politics. I’ve heard Christians say this year, more than I’ve ever heard before, that they plan to sit out this election because there’s just not a candidate they can vote for in good conscience. I want us to consider: how do we approach politics from a biblical worldview?

  • 146: Parenthood: The Global Reversal
    Jul 12 2024

    After decades of government promoted abortion, it turns out that nations are now beginning to incentivize parenthood because they’ve discovered that they need more babies. Talk about the law of unintended consequences…

    Jul 5 2024

    As we come to the end of another Pride Month in America, it’s appropriate for us to consider where we stand with our culture with regard to “gay pride” and “LGBTQ rights.”

  • 144: 2024 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Report
    Jun 21 2024

    Last week in Indianapolis, IN, almost 11,000 messengers representing hundreds of churches from across the United States and across the world came together for the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention. In light of negative news coming out of most evangelical denominations in recent months combined with the misrepresentation by the mainstream media of much of what happened there, it’s important for you to have a report about our convention from someone who was there. So, let me share with you the good, the bad, and the future.

  • 143: Scouting for Destruction
    Jun 7 2024

    In recent news, the Boy Scouts of America have now completed their surrender to the culture that started several years ago. And the kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs has ignited a firestorm of criticism because he committed the audacious sin of commending his wife for being a great stay-at-home wife and mother. We live in a nonsense world.

  • 142: Islamism is Here. What now?
    May 31 2024

    “Death to America!” That’s a chant that we see on TV sometimes. It usually comes from somewhere in Tehran or another place in the Middle East, but lately it has shown up in Dearborn, Michigan, the jihad capital of America. Let’s talk about that.

  • 141: Moms, Dads, What’s the Difference?
    May 17 2024

    Last Sunday was Mother’s Day and in a culture that can no longer even define the term “woman,” Mother’s Day is a bit of an anachronism. It’s a day that reminds us of some things that we intuitively know beyond a shadow of a doubt. But it’s a day that points out just how much nonsense has emerged in our culture. So let’s consider mothers.

  • 140: A War on Words
    May 10 2024

    In his prescient novel, 1984, George Orwell argued that the control of language is a means by which governments and other totalitarian agencies control the narrative, the agenda, the way we control people. It is interesting that in 2024, language is becoming the battlefield for control in our culture. What does the bible have to say about this?
