Best of BAM: A City on a Hill, and Q&A
On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank reiterates the poignant words of General Omar Bradley who said, “We have men of science, too few men of God.

Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.” As our culture drifts further from God, Hank reminds us that believers are called to be a city on a hill giving light to the world.Hank also answers the following questions:What are your thoughts on Luke 13 concerning the woman who had a spirit of infirmity?

Memorial Day 2024
On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (05/27/24), Hank welcomes you to a special Memorial Day edition of the broadcast. In the midst of battling the evil of Nazism, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill said, “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” Churchill's words ring true today as we celebrate Memorial Day in the United States. A day to honor those who, in the words of Abraham Lincoln, “gave the last full measure of devotion” in their sacrifice for freedom. We here at the Christian Research Institute offer our deepest respect, honor, and thankfulness to those who have sacrificed all to protect and defend the freedoms we enjoy in this country. But we are also committed to preserving freedoms that are definitively being compromised in the present generation. As history demonstrates, we must ever remain vigilant. Which leads to a quintessential question, “Under what conditions is war justified?”
