Skye and Kaitlyn talk about James Talarico's Christianity as presented in a recent Ezra Klein interview. Talarico's progressive view of Christianity both loses a lot of the richness of the Gospel and has left America wanting something more. How does orthodox Christianity offer the world something it's deeply longing for?

We know God has the power to deliver us—but sometimes we wonder if He will. Dr. Tony Evans explains how fasting strengthens our faith and helps us trust God fully for deliverance.

Sermon Overview

Scripture Passage: Job 8:8

Adrian Rogers tells us, “Truth is to your spirit what food is to your body, what light is to your eyes, and what sound is to your ears.” There is a famine in the world for truth; this is why, as Christians, we can never lose our burning ambition to discover, know and practice truth.

In Job 8:8, Job’s friends respond to his suffering with an urge to appeal to look for answers from the philosophers of yesterday. And America has been shaped, molded, and skewed by a few philosophers of yesterday; their ghosts still haunt us, even now.

The first is Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, who rejected moral absolutes and alluded to the dangerous sentiment that the strongest idea wins, and therefore history is evolutionary and there cannot be any absolute.

Ludwig Feuerbach built upon this theory by saying, “If there are no absolutes, then there can be no God,” coining what we now know as humanism.

Karl Marx built upon Feuerbach’s theory by asking, “If there is no absolute and no God, what is the future and purpose of mankind?” As a result, Marx founded communism: a godless system that refutes the worth or dignity of an individual.

Then came Charles Darwin, who asked, “If there is no God, then how do we explain our existence?” He concluded that man is simply a product of evolution.

The final ghost that still haunts us is Sigmund Freud, who says our idea of God comes to us from our childhood fathers. The extreme permissiveness and perversion we see today is also a result of Freudian psychology.

These ideas have been around for a long time but have resurged in recent days. We shouldn’t be discouraged; these theories do not have something readily available to us, as Christians: the truth, and the Holy Spirit. We, who see the Bible as the incorruptible, indestructible, and indispensable Word of God, must stand, anointed with the Holy Spirit and a heart full of love, and preach the absolute truth of the Gospel.

Apply it to your life

Do you know what you believe, and why you believe it? Familiarize yourself with the truth of the Bible. Remember, as Adrian Rogers says, “Facts are like a recipe and truth is like the meal; digest the truth and it will change your life.”

Just when Isaiah's harsh condemnation of idolatry seems relentless, the tone shifts dramatically to God's breathtaking mercy. Dr. John explores Isaiah 44:21-28, where God declares He has blotted out Israel's transgressions like mist and will never forget His covenant with them. This passage even names the Persian king Cyrus over 200 years before he would decree Israel's return from exile, revealing that our salvation depends not on our faithfulness, but on God's unfailing commitment to His promises.

God and the World's Idols: What are you really worshipping? In this series through Isaiah 40–44, Dr. John Neufeld explores one of Scripture's most powerful confrontations between the living God and the idols humanity creates. Writing to a nation facing exile and questioning whether their God has abandoned them, Isaiah paints a stunning portrait of who God truly is — His wisdom that needs no counsel, His power that never grows weary, His sovereignty over history itself.
