Churches love distinctives—things that make them distinct (and look like they are better than) other churches. Distinctives are fine. The trouble comes in when the distinctive becomes the major to the surrender of the other majors—when we lose the camels in the gnats. We get into Bible translations from the Septuagint to the Vulgate to the King James Version, and all the others. We love the KJV, but people can go to hell clinging to their KJV and not really believing what’s in it. We end with the short story on what makes a healthy church. 

Is "The Chosen" finally bringing Christians, Mormons, and Catholics together in ecumenical unity? Who is this Jesus presented in the TV series? Is this a Jesus like the rest of us, the latter-day saints Jesus, or the least common denominator (LCD) Jesus? Or, is this the Creator of the Universe, God incarnate, and the Judge of the World? We revisit the outrageously popular "The Chosen" TV series, finding snippets of the Book of Mormon, the book of humanist trite phrases, and odd twists on Scripture mixed into the dialogue. We compare the writings of 3 Nephi with Jesus' teachings in Matthew 5.

It's the fastest growing Christian church in the world. It's arguably the darkest country in the world. It's one of the poorest countries in the world, and getting high levels of persecution from six different sources. Here's the exciting story of what God is doing in Nepal.

Since 1970, gambling has increased from $2 billion to $120 billion a year. But that's nothing compared to the mad rush into world debt and derivatives (and other horrendously reckless forms of greed). All that debt and derivative risk has increased from $15 trillion to $2,500 trillion in the last forty to fifty years. What happens when there is no more restraint left in human society to greed, to sexual license, to killing babies, and the rest? How do Christians respond to this financial mayhem?

Officers in the Christian Reformed Church are found running as Democrats for political office on pro-abortion positions, and end up advocating the killing of innocent children at the highest positions in the land. The first fault for the fall of America, the fall of the West, and the undoing of a civilization lies at the feet of the seminaries, the Christian college, and the Christian denominations. Either the church must discipline, or the worst case scenario occurs with the Christian Reformed Church and similar denominations. And that would be Revelation 2:20-23. How did such apostasy occur with these denominations?

There are three reasons why utility prices are on the increase. But chief of which is the worldview that underlies the economy-destroying impulse on the part of Democrats (and some Republicans). Man worships the creation rather than the Creator, and therefore he will increasingly fail to take proper dominion over the earth as he was commissioned to do. In the end, environmentalism will become destructive of man and the environment both.

The midterm elections revealed the true heart of America . . . and it was a terrible day for the pro-life cause. The Supreme Court handed it off to the voters, and every referendum went pro-abortion. Meanwhile, the red wave was more of a red ooze. The Democrat creep is working in Pennsylvania. The progressives (leftists) had a heyday, while the principled right lost ground. But why are we losing ground in pro-life votes? Women voted Republican by a margin of 1% in 1988, but now they're going Democrat by a margin of 15% . . . and more women are voting. America is committed to killing babies.

Here’s another huge breakthrough for creationists with access to databases’ Y-chromosome mutations across cultures, throughout the whole world. Now every person can be traced back to Japheth, Ham, and Shem, Noah’s three sons. When did the native Americans end up in North and South America? Where were the original civilizations from which all others flow? Why did most white Europeans migrate from the “stans” in Central Asia? We look at the original research produced by a Harvard molecular biologist, Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson—earthshaking, history-realigning insights on this edition.

We trace the zeitgeist in American film—the market has moved from real people to fake people to dead people. The horror genre is replacing the escape genre which replaced drama, comedy, and adventure film of the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Now, Satanic and horror films increasingly dominate box office takings. The rise of euthanasia in the medical world comes with it, as Canada leads the world in killing people. We also take a quick look at the slippery slope argument, and how it just might apply to abortion and euthanasia.

The Rock and Roll revolution started in America with Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis, with roots in Pentecostal churches. Here is another story of Americana, which ends with the unleashing of a sexual revolution, undoubted demonic influence, and what may or may not be repentance at the end. We cover Jerry Lee Lewis, and the recent biographies of Johnny Cash and his spiritual journey and questions posed at the end of his life. Here’s the takeaway: America has deep Christian roots. America is in apostasy. There is always room to repent all the way to the end for the thief on the cross.
