On todays Bible Answer Man broadcast (05/03/19), Hank says that he fears that oftentimes we can get into a sort of tradition with praying the Lords Prayer so that it loses its power and vigor, because we say the words without understanding that this is not a prayer mantra, but a prayer manner. So Hank goes over the phrases in the prayer, starting by explaining what it means to say Your kingdom come and Thy will be done. In the second segment of the broadcast, Hank contrasts Islam and Christianity by looking at their leaders, Muhammad and Christ. There is so much in the news today about followers of Christ who do horrendous things and followers of Muhammad who do horrendous things, so the thought is that there is somewhat of a moral equivalency between the two religions. But the truth is that if you want to understand the difference between Christianity and Islam, you need to look at their leaders.

On todays Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank shares two resources that have had a profound impact in his life and are available all this month to those that support the ministry of the Christian Research Institute. One is a cross with the Prayer of Saint Ephrem engraved on it, a prayer that Hank prays every single morning as he starts his day. The second is Hanks book, The Prayer of Jesus: Secrets to Real Intimacy with God. Jesus taught His disciples how to pray, and it revolutionized their lives.

On todays Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank discusses climate change after watching Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke claim that humans may have only 10 years left to save the planet. Hank likens this to former Vice President Al Gore, who in 2006 made a similar claim. But ten years later in 2016, we saw that Gore was wrong. In 1992 Gore said that only an insignificant fraction of scientists deny the global warming crisis, that the debate was over, science was settled, and they have consensus. But all of that is demonstrably false, as even Gore himself 17 years later confessed that the debate over human-induced climate change had raged up until 1999.

On todays Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank mentions that the Eastern Church's observation of Pascha, also called Easter, takes place this weekend, one week after the Western Church. This is due to the two following different calendarsthe West observes the Gregorian calendar while the East uses the Julian calendar to determine the date of Pascha. Hank longs for the day when the Eastern and Western Churches can celebrate the resurrection together.

On todays Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank shares his thoughts on the new heaven and new earth as described by the Apostle Peter in 2 Peter 3:10. Rather than an altogether different cosmos, Hank affirms that the heavens and the earth will be resurrected, not annihilated. God does not scrap His creations but restores them; therefore, Paradise lost will become Paradise restored. In light of this, Hank asks the question: if the cosmos and we ourselves will one day be resurrected, how then should we live?
