Contra Mundum

We do not live in a materialist world, where we are merely atoms and molecules, particles and waves. The world that God has made is not just stuff. There is a world beyond what our eyes can see, and that is a world He has described in His Word.

Far too many Christians reared in this materialist world end up as functional Deists. But we are Christians, not Deists. God is active, even supernaturally in His creation.

We discuss these things with the hosts of Haunted Cosmos.

What exactly is an American?

Does existing on Magic Dirt make someone an American?

Or do you have to be born to or become part of a particular people?

Is Christian faith alone a sufficient basis for civil order or is more required?

We discuss all this and more with Mr. Auron MacIntyre.

The narrative in Daniel 5 portrays the end of the Babylonian Empire through the lens of a divine judgment. King Belshazzar, amidst a Persian siege, hosts a feast not out of despair but in a desperate, hopeful appeal to multiple gods, including the God of Israel, by using sacred vessels from Jerusalem's temple. This act of syncretism is seen as a counterfeit sacrament, challenging the true God amidst a spiritual battle where only He responds by inscribing a judgment on the wall: "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin," interpreted by Daniel to signify the end of Belshazzar's reign due to his failure to acknowledge God's sovereignty. The story concludes with Belshazzar's death and the rise of Darius the Mede, underscoring the lesson that divine rule over the world is exclusive, and those in power must submit to God alone or face judgment. The passage parallels contemporary issues of secularism and idolatry, urging a return to exclusive worship of Jesus Christ as the true sovereign.

Could any of these picks be any better? Is He going to drain the swamp?

In the Book of Daniel, King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, is tested by God through dreams and trials to recognize His sovereignty. Initially, he acknowledges God due to divine interventions like the miraculous survival of Daniel's friends from a fiery furnace, but his faith remains superficial. God sends a second dream of a great tree being cut down to a stump, symbolizing Nebuchadnezzar's pride and impending fall. Daniel interprets this as a warning of Nebuchadnezzar's fate to live like a beast, which happens after a year of unchecked pride. This divine judgment leads to his eventual repentance and restoration, teaching him and illustrating to others that true leadership under God involves humility and acknowledgment of divine authority. The narrative serves as a lesson on divine sovereignty, the importance of repentance, and the ideal of Christian kingship, urging modern leaders and nations towards humility and recognition of God's ultimate rule.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego’s refusal to bow down to the golden image and willingness to burn in the fiery furnace is the 21st Century Christian’s refusal to bow down to the gods of ‘Our Democracy.’

Many people have heard those in the online right use the phrase "Post-War Consensus" as a sort of shorthand for cultural and political narrative surrounding contemporary liberal ideas.

Dr. Paul Gottfried joins us today to define precisely what it is (and what it is NOT), discuss the history behind it, whether or not the post-war consensus is collapsing and, if so, what will the future look like?

The book of Daniel intertwines themes of God's sovereignty over earthly empires with his time's spiritual and political dynamics, focusing on God's revelation through dreams and visions to assert His ultimate control over history. Nebuchadnezzar, confronted by his own dreams, finds his pagan magicians powerless to interpret, leading to a decree of death. Through divine intervention, Daniel interprets the dream and explains its prophetic significance—detailing the rise and fall of successive world empires, symbolized by a statue with parts made of different metals. This narrative underscores a progression from worship to mere tolerance of God by successive empires, culminating with the advent of Christ, depicted as a stone that destroys the statue and grows into a mountain, representing God's kingdom. This story serves as an encouragement for believers to trust in God's enduring kingdom amidst the fleeting powers of earthly rulers, emphasizing that divine wisdom and intervention surpass human understanding and control.

The politics that Big Eva pushes upon American evangelicals is a disaster for our country.

Recently one of the biggest figures in Big Eva, Matt Chandler, preached a sermon on politics. We invited Stephen Wolfe to join us in breaking down just how awful the ideas and thinking in this sermon are, and to give an alternative vision for conservative evangelical political thought.
