Truth At All Costs

Just before Jesus delivers the beatitudes, St. Matthew says, “he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them.” (Matt. 5:1-2) In this episode we sit at the feet of Martin Luther to learn what this introductory description means for pastors, which is going to show us that they, like you, should never be afraid to bite the fox. It’s time for the Truth at All Costs!

Are you engaged in local politics? That’s where the most damage is being done and that’s where the biggest wins can be made for the good. It’s most certainly where the Christian lives out his vocations every single day. In today’s episode of Truth at All Costs we’re looking at a local political issue that made national news when a Catholic-owned hospital refused to murder an unborn baby. We’ll also talk about why we might deserve to lose our liberties if we’re not serious about electing serious public servants, and then reply to a self-professed Lutheran leftist. It’s time for the Truth at All Costs!

Am I guilty of electioneering? That's what Ferndale's left would like to say. Can pastors speak for or against political candidates? Can they have political signs in their yards and even talk about them in their podcasts? Let's find out in episode 34 of the Truth at All Costs.

Should Christians vote for an idiot? That word has an actual definition. We'll look at it as we find our answer. Scripture, obviously has something to say, and we'll also listen to the wisdom of Martin Luther while looking at a specific example of a man who wants my neighbors and I to vote for him. But is he mentally capable to be a public person? Is he capable of ordinary reasoning? Let's find out in episode 32 of the Truth at All Costs.

We take a lot of our behavior for granted. We assume the way we do things is the way they’ve always been done. But maybe there was a better way. Maybe our ancestors had a better way and if we returned to them, we could actually see positive results in our world. Think about this with me today as we listen to the pastoral guidance regarding dating and marriage from a hundred years ago. Let’s see what a pastor in the heartland of America in 1924 had to say about solving our sexual immorality problem, securing happiness and peace in our homes, and finding joy and value in life.

Jesus went to hell! It's true. It's not a figure of speech and He didn't go there in some incorporeal way, but with both body and spirit. Christians confess this every week in the Creed and there are fascinating aspects to this doctrine that we're going to get into in this episode of Truth at All Costs.

In 1951 Rev. William Arndt taught on Armageddon. What he said might shock you. Has the last battle of Armageddon already begun?

What is the tradition of the apostles handed down from one generation to the next? That is, what is the true Christian religion? And what’s up with Christians embracing Yoga? We have a lot of Scripture to get into and some wisdom to glean from Rev. Harold Senkbeil and Mr. Jonas Bramwell.

Can a Christian vote for Trump if he is going to mandate baby-killing IVF? This is the question a viewer sent in. Should we just not vote at all, if we only have sinners on the ballot?
