Jon surveys developments within the Southern Baptist Convention on controversial issues such as the Federal investigation into abuse allegations, the way Southern Baptist leaders are distancing themselves from "Christian Nationalism," and the fight over the "Law Amendment" which ensures SBC churches have male pastors.

Three Reformed Evangelical ministries recently addressed political questions during election year 2024. Topics like Christian Nationalism, voting, the church's political involvement etc. were all addressed. Jon reviews Mark Dever, Jesse Johnson, and Ligon Duncan's opinions about church/state relationships and Christian political involvement.

Note: Jesse Johnson did give a presentation at Shepherd's Conference this year on Christian Nationalism but it has not been released yet. The presentation I critique is from Feb 3, 2024 but is the same talk that Johnson gave at Shepherd's Conference 2023.

Jon plays clips of teachings from Pastor John MacArthur through the years on topics like Christian Politics, Nations, and Nationalism. Recently John MacArthur linked Postmillenialism with Christian Nationalism and also said there was no such thing as Christian Nationalism. However, this was not a new teaching. For years, Pastor MacArthur has said there is no such thing as a Christian Nation. Some people have found his teachings on Christian political involvement discouraging. Yet, John MacArthur has made some very necessary separations between the Kingdom of God and conservative politics as well as the covenant with Israel and America's Christian beginnings. Jon explores Pastor MacArthur's teachings and offers up his own thoughts on how Christians should think about these issues and what questions to ask for future discussion.
