Government mandates during the Covid pandemic—“wear a mask, get vaccinated, shut down your church or be fined and arrested”—caused Christians to consider the Biblical line between submission to governing authorities and resisting when the commands go beyond the sphere of their authority.

Over the last several months, we have heard from guests such as […]

TOPIC: What is the Christian’s Duty to God vs. Government? – Part 1

2022-08-12T08:43:24-05:00Jul 30, 2022|

This program is a rebroadcast from 3/12/22

GUEST: PASTOR JAMES COATES, co-author, God vs. Government

Persecution, imprisonment, and murder of Christians is nothing new. The gospels recount the crucifixion of Christ and the book of Acts chronicles the threats, beatings, jailings, and stonings of first century Christians.

Today is no different for believers in Communist China or North Korea, where Christians defy government edicts and gather secretly. In some Islamic countries, Christians are […]

GUEST: GREG, pastor, Kyiv, Ukraine

It’s been over a month and Ukraine continues to fight back against the military invasion by Vladimir Putin’s Russian forces. The human toll is high—thousands of people have been killed (on both sides), with homes and other non-military buildings destroyed. Cities like Mariupol have been decimated by Russian military bombardment, causing millions of refugees.

Meanwhile, the debate rages in Europe and America about what to do. Is more intervention […]

GUEST: CAL BEISNER, author, Biblical Foundations for Economics

Morality is the judgment between what is right and what is wrong and economics is how money, goods, and services are used and exchanged.

While morality and economics seem unrelated, they are actually linked. When moral judgments are made about any given issue, economic decisions follow to support those moral judgments.

For example, abortion is viewed by our government as morally good and so […]

You’ve noticed it at the gas pump, grocery store, and elsewhere—prices are rising. But of course they are—the supply of dollars can’t be increased through printing more without the value and buying power of an individual dollar decreasing. The Wall Street Journal reported that inflation rose more the last 12 months than it has in 13 years.

More is likely to come, with rampant […]

Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist on the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Ephesians 6:13

For anyone who thought a change of calendar year would somehow alter the stressful trajectory in America, this past week would have been a rude reality check.

First, […]

TCW Minute: Socialism in the Country and Church (Week of May 13, 2019)

2019-05-17T12:46:06-05:00May 17, 2019|

Socialism in the country and the church.  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

Socialism is a worldview which believes a bigger government ordering every aspect of life will result in a better, more equitable society.

And it’s rising in popularity, with policies such as universal health care, universal basic income, government-controlled public education, free college, open borders, redefining of marriage and morality, and social justice.

When the latter enters the church, the gospel is […]

TCW Minute: Pete Buttigieg and a False Gospel (Week of April 15, 2019)

2019-04-20T22:37:42-05:00Apr 15, 2019|

Pete Buttigieg and a false gospel.  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

A relatively unknown 37-year-old mayor of South Bend, Indiana named Pete Buttigieg is running third in the Democrat nomination for president.

Buttigieg is a Harvard graduate, Rhodes Scholar, and U.S. Navy veteran.

He is also a “married homosexual” who speaks frequently of his progressive Christian faith, asserting the gospel is about helping the poor, the stranger, the hurting.

That’s what the Bible calls […]

Guest: Greg Gilbert, Senior Pastor, Third Avenue Baptist Church

I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.  Galatians 1:6-7

Consider for a moment that a relatively unknown 37-year-old mayor of […]

TCW Minute: Lurch to the Left (Week of Feb. 18, 2019)

2019-02-22T11:02:32-06:00Feb 22, 2019|

Lurch to the left.  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

If conservative Christians thought President Obama had a leftist worldview, the new faces of the Democrat Party—Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Cory Booker, and others—are even more so.

Now, killing a baby during or after birth is openly supported, restructuring our entire society to slow climate change is a necessity, and affirming homosexuality and transgenderism.

The prophet Isaiah said, “Woe to those who […]
