The Gary DeMar Podcast

Texas state representative James Talarico claims to be a Christian and recently said a number of things publicly that actually pit the Bible against itself. Gary quotes some of them and comments, as well as discussing the current situation in Haiti.

Gary concludes his talk about Christian involvement in culture and politics by summarizing several popular objections. In his book, Myths, Lies, and Half-Truths, Gary answers 15 common objections that Christians give to not get involved, but he points out that God leaves His people here for that very reason. Heaven may be our ultimate home, but Earth is our home now and needs the spiritual discernment and physical work of Christians.

Exploring the French Revolution's impact on worldviews, Christian involvement, and secularists' attempts to eliminate God. Discussing the shift in France's calendar, challenges faced by Christians in defending their beliefs, and Antonio Gramsci's influence in cultural Marxism.

In this first part of a recent talk, Gary discusses the worldview implications of Bible prophecy. Many Christians will claim that what we believe about the future doesn't matter, because "God wins" anyway. Gary disagrees that it doesn't matter and gives cultural, theological, and historical reasons why.

Gary continues his interview with artist Dan Riedel about his friendship with Dr. Cornelius Van Til. Far from being a cold academic, Dr. Van Til was a warm, caring individual that wanted to see people come to Christ. He was every bit as much an evangelist as he was a professor. He well understood that the end goal of apologetics was not to win an argument, but a human soul. Check out Dan's artwork here: http://danielhillriedel.com/ 

Gary interviews his long-time friend, Dan Riedel, who painted the artwork for the cover of the new book, The Objective Proof for Christianity. Dan knew Cornelius Van Til well and tells a few stories about his long relationship with the man. Get some of Dan's fantastic art for your home here: http://danielhillriedel.com/  

Gary continues discussing Pastor MacArthur's recent comments about Christian Nationalism. He seems to be confused about what most Christian Nationalists are actually saying, and overcorrects his mistaken assumptions with extreme defeatist language. He says "we lose down here." Gary says no, we have already won, thanks to the completed mission and work of Jesus Christ.

Gary begins discussing recent comments made by John MacArthur about Christian Nationalism, but he takes time to set up the full context. Christians often get frustrated by political engagement, but this doesn't mean we should be involved. Private conservations, evangelism, and discipleship are just as important to changing the system, but we don't do one to the exclusion of the other.

What does cannibalism have to do with abortion? More than you might think. Both topics are logical conclusions and perfectly acceptable once the Christian foundation is removed. When nature, red in tooth and claw, becomes the interpretative standard, what actually separates the 4-legged animals from the 2-legged ones?

Gary expands a bit on a recent article he wrote called "Christians in the Crosshairs." Christian Nationalism has a much longer history than most people realize, although the definition has remained basically the same. In essence, anyone that wants their Christian faith to influence every area of life are suspect and considered to be Christian Nationalists. Gary sets the record straight.
