Is the Gospel more important than politics? Is the Gospel more important than the position you take on God's law? Or, does compromise on God's law imply a compromise on the Gospel itself? We address the question of the relative importance of ethics to the Gospel. But what about leaving the church that votes for Biden? What are the big issues or the small issues when it comes to leaving a church? Should churches part ways on BLM, masks, and George Floyd? The leading Southern Baptist tells us we need to "stand for LGBT rights." Does that mean the right to marry and adopt kids, or the right to a fair trial in a court of law?

Some stories of redemption present a sharper picture, especially when we come upon the stories of torture and abuse. This story is especially powerful, as God's redemption comes to a man who faced serious abuse as a little boy between his second and thirteenth year. The book is entitled "The Creaking of the Stairs." Author Mez McConnell is pastor of Niddrie Community Church near Edinburgh. Nothing can address the pain, the confusion, the injustices, and the sheer evil of a world of abuse like the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the doctrines of God's holiness, His sovereignty, His judgment, and His propitiatory sacrifice of His only begotten Son. Here is a helpful testimony, and wisdom for how to minister to the abused in your families and churches.

While the nation tips into unprecedented disunity and instability, and gives way to the revolutionary spirit, how does the Christian respond? We point out two very deep ditches—worshiping the beastly state on the one hand, or despising authority on the other. Avoid both at all costs!

It was the largest leap in socialism in US history under Donald Trump and then continued under Joe Biden. For the last nine months, 75% of Americans have been on regular monthly welfare payments. What does this do to the character of the nation? How does this break the back of liberty . . . and the economy?

Like the Great Commission is important to us, the Commission to eliminate 90% of the world's population is important to the other religion. It is, in a real sense, their Great Commission. The over-population myth is firmly embedded at the most fundamental presuppositional level. Even Christians have bought into it, especially those who bought the recyclable "Green Bible." We contrast the biblical worldview with that worldview which cannot trust God's absolute sovereign control and God's all-wise system of ethics (and the Noahic covenant) to sustain the world until judgment day. Well, they don't believe in the final judgment either, for that matter. The strategy to reduce the world's population remains the same—get the wealthy and materialistic. Self-centeredness, abortifacients, and abortion will take over from there.

Without question, the most banned book in history is the Bible. With the communists, the Nazis, the Canadians, and the American libraries, the problem is with the social and ethical system presented by Scripture. God’s Word just cramps their style. Sometimes, it’s just a few verses. Other times, it’s just a few words, as in the case of the New RSV. Don’t forget that Tyndale was burned at the stake over six words contained in his English translation!

Mind-blowing. Extraordinary. Extremely intricate, endlessly beautiful, genius-level designs appear in nature and mathematics that were not discoverable until the 1980s and 1990s. We discuss fractals and other amazing phenomena in science and mathematics with Dr. Jason Lisle. 

Two issues are addressed on this edition. Attempts to impose a modern ethic over Scripture results in a whacked translation of 1 Corinthians 6:9 for the New RSV. Here is how worldview impacts language and translations of the Bible. Bottom line. . . human languages must bend to the biblical worldview, and better translations should follow. But, what happens when the Bible and its translations are made subject to the worldviews of post-Christian or anti-Christian cultures? Then, we ask the question, to what extent should we deal with arguments and polemics? When conservatives are marked more by what they hate, than what they love, we have the problem of Ephesus. We are called to hate. . . the deeds of the Nicolaitans, whoever they were. But, more importantly, we are called to love. . . Jesus.

Your paycheck is docked. Inflation is running 10-14%. Your savings account is losing 7% per year. And your conservative bond investments you bought 10 years ago have lost about 15% in value—$4 trillion in 10 years. But the good news is that the government gave you $3,200 during COVID. Average earnings have fallen since April of 2020—a 5.4% dock in pay. Ironically, the average annual paycheck has been docked $3,670 because the COLA's aren't keeping up with the CPI (let alone the real inflation index). Here is an encouragement at least to Christian employers that they inform their employees that their pay is being decreased for the work they do. Keynes admitted that inflation is an insidious, destructive economic force that not one man in a million could detect. We just hope that the 14-year-old kids that listen to this program will know what is happening.

A Baltimore man is the first to receive a genetically-modified pig heart. And, Al Mohler tells us there is no reason for Christians to reject it. Or. . . is there reason? Would it be appropriate to apply Leviticus 19 to such a case? This Frankensteinian science sans the fear of God might even force us to use biblical law to assess such strangeness. The 21st century produced children born of three parents, artificial insemination, surrogate wombs, millions of disposable "snowflake" children, human-animal hybrids, artificial wombs, and innumerable other monstrosities. Have we equipped the man of God for this weirdness?
