The Divided States of America.  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

We live in the most prosperous, powerful, charitable, advanced, free nation in history.  And yet, there is a level of aggrievement and division that has not been felt perhaps since the Civil War.

Whether the issue is race, gender, religion, sexuality, abortion, immigration, or political party, the worldview gulf between the sides seems too far to bridge.

The only hope for a unified […]

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 […]

Lessons from the Kavanaugh nomination.  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

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 […]

The power of accusation.  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

According to those who work with him, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s nominee to fill the Supreme Court vacancy, has lived an upstanding life.  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.

Revelation 12 […]

Is President Trump making America great?  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

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 […]

2018-09-21T21:48:13-05:00Sep 21, 2018|Categories: The Christian Worldview Minute|Tags: , , , |

Social justice is a gospel issue?  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

That statement—“Social justice is a gospel issue”—has become the rallying call of many evangelicals, as in Christians must work to end perceived oppression.  But is that biblically supportable?

Well, what did Jesus say and do?  Did He work to end the structures of racism, sexism, and the myriad of other injustices of His day?  The answer is no.  He preached the […]

Once saved, always saved?  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
It’s an age-old debate about whether a Christian can lose their salvation.  
Jesus gives a clear answer in John 10 where He says:  My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will […]

TCW Minute: Beware Apostasy (Week of Sept. 3, 2018)

2018-09-07T12:59:30-05:00Sep 07, 2018|Categories: The Christian Worldview Minute|Tags: , , , |

What is apostasy?  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

The Bible says, “in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons…” (1 Tim. 4:1)

That’s apostasy—departing from primary doctrines of the faith, such as twisting the nature and character of God or the parson and work of Christ.

Apostasy is an ongoing reality in churches and individuals, but can never happen to the true […]

Are you practicing discernment?  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

The apostle John said, “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world (1 John 4:1).

Do we really believe this, that there are many professing Christians sewing seeds of error that lead people away from the truth?

Well, we’d better, because Satan relentlessly works to […]

2018-08-24T09:31:13-05:00Aug 20, 2018|Categories: The Christian Worldview Minute|

Make America Great Again … Or Was It Never Great?  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo recently said: “We’re not going to make America great again.  It was never that great.”

Those who share Gov. Cuomo’s Leftist worldview point to America’s history of slavery and sexism to show that America has never been great.

America, as all nations, is marred by sin.  But relative to other nations, we have […]
