No one wants to be considered a fool; rather, most everyone desires to be esteemed and respected.But this won’t be the case for those who follow Jesus. The Bible says, “the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing” (1 Corinthians 1:18 [Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)] ). In other words, no matter how educated or how winsome or how accomplished a Christian is, the non-believing world will still view the Christian as a fool.Our guest this weekend on The Christian Worldview, evangelist and apologist Ray Comfort, has experienced this first-hand. In his latest film titled The Fool, Ray shows how his use of a banana analogy to show God’s design led to him becoming a laughingstock to atheists. But it also led to unexpected opportunities for the gospel...

What is Speech Act theory? This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.The stated purpose of the recent Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel is to clarify the doctrines of God’s Word with regard to race, gender, and sexuality.When asked about the Statement, one highly regarded pastor referenced Speech Act theory saying, “You can’t just analyze words by what they say, you also have to analyze words by what they do…What it’s really trying to say is, ‘…don’t worry about the poor, don’t care about the injustice…’ Even if I could agree with most of it, I don’t like it.”...

The reason the framers of The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel wrote the document is spelled out in its Introduction: “We are deeply concerned that values borrowed from secular culture are currently undermining Scripture in the areas of race and ethnicity, manhood and womanhood, and human sexuality. The Bible’s teaching on each of these subjects is being challenged under the broad and somewhat nebulous rubric of concern for “social justice"...

Lessons from the Kavanaugh nomination. After weeks of drama, including accusations of sexual assault, protests, and non-stop media coverage, the Senate narrowly voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. There are many lessons here. One is that elections matter. Imagine what kind of judge Hillary Clinton would have nominated had she been president. Consider Kavanaugh’s chances of confirmation if Republicans hadn’t held a slight majority in the Senate...

But very late in the confirmation process, an accusation was brought forward that Kavanaugh, 36 years ago when he was 17, sexually groped a 15-year-old girl.Even without corroborating evidence, the damage has been done to his reputation...

Is President Trump making America great? Great nations typically have a strong military, prosperous economy, and domestic security and equity.President Trump has strengthened America in many of these categories. But Christians should pray for him to set a better moral and interpersonal example. Psalm 2 says: “Take warning, O judges of the earth. Worship the Lord with reverence … Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!”Hear more about whether President Trump is making America great at TheChristianWorldview.orgThis weekend, we’ll take your phone calls and emails on the same topic.
