Last week a ruling from SCOTUS came down in favor of religious freedom in education funding. Within minutes, homeschoolers worried aloud if this would impact homeschooling. Today I’ll discuss this, the importance of seeking wisdom and a few other questions from listeners. SHOW NOTES

“Fake news.” We live in a time that tends toward believing that truth is subjective, and that people can have “their truth” instead of asking, like Pilate, “What is truth?” Sadly, some Christians today seem to be comfortable with the false notion that the Bible is like any other book, and that it, too, contains errors. This is an alarming belief, because it asserts that some of the Bible is true, and some is not. Further, the notion that “There is truth, but we cannot know it” is driving people away from the concept of absolute truth, and that’s a dangerous place for Christians to be. Why? Because truth matters. God’s Word claims to be truth, in keeping with the character and omniscient nature of God. In an age of “fake news,” perhaps, we have simply gotten used to being lied to. However, the Bible stands alone without error. This essential doctrine is a cornerstone of the Christian faith. Inerrancy deserves high regard among evangelicals and has rightly earned the status of being essential to the Christian Faith. SHOW NOTES

The pro-life movement saw a seismic shift in the legal landscape when on Friday, the Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade.

An anonymous listener is struggling in her marriage because of a disagreement over permanent birth control. While there are no direct and easy answers to this issue, one thing is certain: God cares about children. He says they are “a blessing.” There are equally committed Christians with strong opinions on both sides of the issue, but the fact remains that the Bible does not directly address all of the moral and spiritual implications of many modern medical procedures such as vasectomy and tubal ligation. Today, I’ll be talking about what matters most, starting with protecting unity inside of marriage, especially in issues regarding children. SHOW NOTES

A young listener is asking about the practice of witchcraft and whether or not it’s okay to use crystals. According to the Bible, this is dangerous territory! Some people believe that crystals have an inherent power that can be harnessed and used to their benefit—but God’s Word is clear: none of these superstitious beliefs about crystals come from the Bible. The Bible warns strongly against engaging in anything related to the occult, and crystals definitely fall into that category. SHOW NOTES
