How the “Equality Act” is the Christian Persecution Act
Send us a textOn Memorial Day Weekend, when we remember the sacrifices made by members of our military and their families to protect the unique individual liberties we enjoy in the United States, such as freedom of religion and speech, a new law euphemistically named the “Equality Act”, already passed in the Democrat-majority House of Representatives, would greatly suppress those liberties.The Equality Act adds “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” to the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the federal non-discrimination law, which makes it illegal to “discriminate…because of the person’s race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or genetic information” (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission)...

What Has Most Changed the Country and the Church? Hint: Higher Education
Send us a textOver the last many decades, the worldview of our country and the evangelical church has shifted. The country has cast off biblical foundations for society, family, morality, purpose, and identity in favor of humanistic values. And the church, instead of obeying the call to be separate from the world (2 Cor. 6:14-18 [Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)] ), has actually appropriated worldliness, whether in music, message, or marketing.What is the source of this worldview shift? Asked another way, who or what is the influencer that has led the country and the church in the aforementioned direction?...

How Socialism Is Impacting the Country and the Church
Send us a textSocialism is an all-encompassing worldview which believes a bigger, more intrusive government ordering every aspect of life will result in a better, more equitable future for all.The structure for socialism can be attributed to Karl Marx and Fredrich Engels in their 1848 book, The Communist Manifesto.Unfortunately, the worldview of socialism and communism didn’t die with the fall of the Soviet Union or the death of Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, or Castro. In fact, socialism and communism seem to be the natural bent of unregenerate mankind to achieve an earthly utopia through global government.Socialism is alive and well in this country (think Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes)...

Dennis Prager and Alistair Begg Clarifying the Only Two Religious Options, Part 2 of 2
Send us a textLast time on the program, we played some audio clips of an event featuring Jewish radio host Dennis Prager and Christian pastor Alistair Begg discussing theological issues such as:Is Jesus actually God?Is salvation by works or by faith?Is faith subjective or objective?Their conversation highlighted that there are really only two religions: the majority that are based on man earning salvation (or a better life, future) through his works versus the one—biblical Christianity—that is based on Christ earning salvation for man through His work on the cross, which must be received by faith....

TOPIC: Dennis Prager and Alistair Begg Clarifying the Only Two Religious Options
Send us a textIt’s been said that there are really only two kinds of religions: ones based on earned favor (works) and the one based on unearned favor (grace).All religions, including many Christian traditions, fall into the former while only biblical Christianity is based on the latter.In other words, one either puts their trust in their own works or Christ’s work, in self-righteousness or Christ-righteousness. Mixing the two still keeps one in the first category of works-righteousness.This distinction was made clear recently when two of the sharpest minds—one a Jew (radio host Dennis Prager) and the other a Christian (pastor Alistair Begg)—engaged in a public forum on theological matters...
