E226 Biblical Law & Free Speech 41:53

4d ago41:53

41:53

The final command of Jesus to His Church is what we have come to call the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-19). It involves sharing the gospel with all nations and teaching these new disciples to obey all the commands Jesus has given. How does this command of Christ square with a robust doctrine of free speech? Does this obedience to Christ involve …

E225 The Biblical Necessity of Free Speech 38:47

13d ago38:47

38:47

In Acts 4, Peter and John are accused of spreading "propaganda." They were banned from the public arena and threatened with severe punishments if they continued speaking. Sadly, their experience is the norm in most parts of the world as approximately 70% of the earth's population live in nations where religious liberty is highly restricted. This is…

E224 Special Guest: Keith Tucci - How Do Christians Approach the Coming Election? 27:57

20d ago27:57

27:57

On today's podcast, I am joined by my good friend, Apostle Keith Tucci. Keith serves as the Senior Leader for the Network of Related Pastors (NRPastors.com) and has a rich history of biblical cultural engagement. We discuss the role of Christians in the upcoming national election. How should we approach this responsibility? What issues are at stake…

E223 Is Christendom Oppressive? 41:42

27d ago41:42

41:42

One of the most common myths we hear today is that Christianity is a form of cultural oppression. If Christians have their way, what will become of the unbelievers or non-religious? While these are valid questions, an equally valid question is what is the impact of a secular government on the rights and liberties of others? Since secularism has no …

E222 All Liberty is Founded in Christ 40:34

1M ago40:34

40:34

Our Founders all agreed that civic freedom was impossible apart from Christian virtue. American statesman, Samuel Adams observed, “Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt.” Republics do not survive apart from republican virtue. When Christ is rejecte…

E221 Preaching an Unfettered and Floaty Gospel 47:43

1M ago47:43

47:43

Many Christians are completely satisfied with the notion of a secular federal government serving as the referee for determining what is officially "moral" behavior when it comes to public policy decisions. They are uncomfortable with the idea of bringing Jesus into the public square. They want a gospel that is "unfettered" from all the political ba…

E220 The Thorny Question of Public Morality 31:32

2M ago31:32

31:32

Should our morality as a nation be grounded in God's will or the will of the people? Ironically, our advocates for a liberal secular democracy are okay as long as the majority is not held by Christians, especially those who run for office or who try to legislate according to biblical morality. Then you are labeled a "threat" to democracy! How do we…

E219 Christian Nationalism: A Primer 38:53

2M ago38:53

38:53

In our cultural skirmishes, a common tactic is to use a pejorative label to attack or to discredit your enemy. One of those labels attached to believers in Christ is the name "Christian nationalist." It evokes scary images of the Inquisition or the Salem witch trials. If you wear that name badge, you are an object of scorn and derision. So, what is…

E218 What is Mere Christendom? 43:12

2M ago43:12

43:12

The Bible declares, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom."( Proverbs 1:7) This means we have two choices as a nation. We can seek and follow the wisdom of God as we order our life together or we can reject God and His law and pursue the path of radical autonomy. If we will not be governed by Christ, we must necessarily be governed by so…

E217 Government Coercion 40:40

3M ago40:40

40:40

The Scriptures clearly define the role and scope of government. All those in authority are God's servants. Their authority is not absolute but delegated. They are tasked with the power to punish wicked behavior (Romans 13:1-4). In other words, there is a legitimate form of government coercion and an illegitimate expression as well. As Doug Wilson w…

E216 Enemy Tactics 38:45

3M ago38:45

38:45

While Christians are often attacked for trying to bring our worldview into the public arena, those doing the accusing often hide behind the veil of neutrality. They act as if they are non-biased and without their own agenda. Of course, this is patently false. And as they work to advance their own agenda, they use words to destroy all who disagree w…

E215 The Bible & Legitimate Taxation 42:14

3M ago42:14

42:14

It was Benjamin Franklin who noted, “Our new Constitution is now established, everything seems to promise it will be durable; but, in this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes." And it seems that governments who ignore their constitutional boundaries must levy ever-increasing amounts of revenue, via taxation, to simply maintain the ever…

E214 Illegitimate Taxation 33:39

3M ago33:39

33:39

For the Christian, life is simple. God's authority outranks that of the king. The king is to do what God says, not the other way around. But for the secularist, what outranks the highest human authority? Herein lies the problem. An autonomous state will , in the end, commit overreach and the rights of the people will be trampled. This overreach is …

E213 The Failure of Democratic Secularism 38:49

3M ago38:49

38:49

In America today, we are witnessing the epic failure of democratic secularism. Secularism is the false belief that we can function as a nation and society without any reference to God. Whether it's the frightening assassination attempt on our former president or the recent White House leadership coup, we are witnessing the profound loss of justice,…

E212 Toxic Speech & Unlikely Heroes 39:41

4M ago39:41

39:41

On today's podcast, we discuss some of the high points from the Alliance Defending Freedom conference Pastor Ron recently attended. We also talk about the power of our words to shape the world around us. And we marvel at the way God uses the most unlikely people to accomplish His kingdom purposes. Once again, our Christian worldview helps us make s…

E211 Happy Birthday, America 39:00

4M ago39:00

39:00

The late Francis Schaeffer observed, "When truth retreats, tyranny advances." This has never been more evident than in American culture today. Without a transcendent standard, objective truth, there is no limit to what governments can do, and no accountability for their actions. On this 248th birthday of American independence, we must renew our com…

E210 Procession of the Gods 36:47

4M ago36:47

36:47

Have you ever wondered why "Pride" month is observed every June? And why do we designate the entire month when Veterans, for instance, are given only one day? What is the connection between Ishtar and the month of June? Where did the idea of "pride parades" come from? And why is Whoopi so mad??? We'll discuss all of this and more in our podcast tod…

E209 The Storm Unleashed 40:27

5M ago40:27

40:27

The Stonewall uprising and the resulting movement were ignited by a female with male attributes, a fighter, a protector of alehouses, a fierce, angry, raging leader of those who crossed the boundaries of gender, the inciter of a multitude of feminized men. And like Ishtar, the goddess of storms, her name was - Stormé. Ishtar had returned and unleas…

E208 The Lion's Head 40:19

5M ago40:19

40:19

No other symbol was so prominently associated with Ishtar than the lion. In ancient prayers and poems, she was referred to as the "great light, lioness of heaven." The lion was her chosen platform for waging war and inflicting vengeance. It should come as no surprise that just two doors down from the Stonewall Inn was another bar called "Lion's Hea…

E207 The Alehouse Harlot 32:56

5M ago32:56

32:56

Ishtar was goddess of the tavern and patroness of the prostitutes. She had always been known as the one who broke down barriers. She came through New York, the gateway to America, for that very purpose. Her re-entrance into American culture would manifest at the Stonewall Inn, where the three elements of the goddess would converge: the gate, the al…

E206 The Stonewall Riots - Night of the Goddess 38:25

5M ago38:25

38:25

The return of the goddess, Ishtar, into American culture began with the sexual revolution but it climaxed in a single event which would forever alter the values of the realm of sexuality, marriage, family and gender. It would be known as "Stonewall." In today's podcast we will talk about what has become "PRIDE" month, an event commemorated every ye…

E205 Gender Mutilation 39:42

6M ago39:42

39:42

Ishtar's sorcery involved the transforming of men into women and women into men. Her temple priests embraced castration as an attempt to rid themselves of the characteristics of the gender in which they were born. These priests were the transsexuals of the ancient world. We should not be surprised that with the rejection of Christianity by the ruli…

E204 Ishtar's Priests 41:38

6M ago41:38

41:38

The arrival of June is only weeks away and we are all wondering if corporate America learned anything from last year's painful lesson - that trans activism is the fastest road to financial insolvency. Companies like Target, Anheuser - Busch, Nike and Disney felt the full force of consumer outrage as customers and dollars went racing for the doors. …

E203 Ishtar's Storybook Hour 42:47

6M ago42:47

42:47

Ishtar's deconstruction of the sexes led to the merging of masculinity and femininity. Our pop culture now features female entertainers appearing wild, unruly, shocking and vulgar. Their male counterparts are often sporting eyeliner, lipstick and other evidence of femininity. And if this was not confusing enough, we are witnessing "Drag Queen Story…

1
E202 The Feminization of Men 34:26

6M ago34:26

34:26

Ishtar's goal was the deconstruction and emasculation of men, resulting in the blurring of distinctions between what it means to be male and female. Strong biblical masculinity was increasingly mocked, marginalized and deemed "toxic." Male leadership, whether in public life, the home or popular culture came under constant assault. The God-given ins…

1
E201 The Masculinization of Women 38:46

6M ago38:46

38:46

While Ishtar was the goddess of love, allurement and sexuality, she also embodied ferocity, aggressiveness, war and destruction. Other traditionally feminine qualities were missing, particularly those linked to nurturing - gentleness, compassion and empathy. Her sorcery specialized in blurring distinctions and transgressing boundaries. It was her n…

E200 The Transforming Power of a Christian Worldview 38:16

7M ago38:16

38:16

Today we celebrate our 200th podcast! We discuss the power of a biblical worldview to deliver us from a "fishbowl sized Christianity" into an oceanic perspective of faith. We also highlight the remarkable power of a Christian worldview to foster personal transformation and positive spiritual change in the lives of believers. Find out more at https:…

E199 The Transformer 39:44

7M ago39:44

39:44

This week America witnessed a total eclipse. Unfortunately, what could have been a perfect opportunity to highlight the truth of our Christian worldview was hijacked by end time hysteria and prophetic prognosticators. We also witnessed a surge of interest in women's collegiate basketball as South Carolina and Iowa faced off in the national champion…

E198 The Destroyer Returns 43:21

7M ago43:21

43:21

If the spirit of Molech were to return America, a nation that had rejected God and His principles, would he once again require blood and child sacrifice? Baal's goal was to erase the law of God and to inspire lawlessness and rebellion. Ishtar's objective is to sever sex from the marriage covenant resulting in unrestrained sexuality with no thought …

1
E197 The Destroyer 42:51

7M ago42:51

42:51

His name is Molech and he is associated with the darkest of sins, the sacrifice of children. This evil practice, which God calls an "abomination," was nearly universal in the pagan world. Children were routinely subjected to mistreatment, abuse and murder. It was not safe to be a child. Jesus and the good news of the gospel changed all of that! Chi…

1
E196 The Sacred Prostitute 35:17

8M ago35:17

35:17

It should come as no surprise that Baal's deification of profit and pleasure would lead to Ishtar's sexualization of American culture and the public monetization of sex. As sexual expression was "liberated" from the marriage bed, it became a commodity to be bought and sold. America, a nation consecrated at its inception to advancing the gospel, has…

1
E195 The Great Seduction 52:22

8M ago52:22

52:22

The seduction of American culture has been radical! As sexual expression was severed from the biblical confines of the marriage covenant, sex became deified. Sex was the new god. Sex was pursued as an end without regard to marriage, love or relationship. Sexual immorality was now not only accepted, but treated as sacred. The results of Ashtoreth's …

E194 The Enchantress Returns 31:02

8M ago31:02

31:02

It was the apostasy and rebellion of the spirit of Baal which opened the door for the entrance of Ashtoreth and unbridled sexuality, licentiousness and depravity (Judges 10:6). It happened in ancient Israel, and it is happening in America today. We have witnessed the open rejection of biblical standards and morality, the same ethics which have prov…

E193 The Enchantress 40:33

8M ago40:33

40:33

Another election cycle is coming to town which means the Left will be coming out with their new list of scare tactics to keep Christians from being politically engaged. The latest bogeyman? White Christian Nationalism. Evidently if you love God and country and you exercise your God-given rights to engage in the political process you are not a threa…

E192 Becoming What We Worship 40:03

9M ago40:03

40:03

The spirit of Baal is a spirit of apostasy. Baal's assignment was to turn God's people away from Him. He promises prosperity, fulfillment and liberation, but in the end, it results in total bondage. Scripture tells us that we become like that which we worship (Psalm 115:4,-5, 8) We'll explore this principle as it relates to the rise of artificial i…

1
E191 The Deep Magic 43:40

9M ago43:40

43:40

As America turned from God to the spirit of Baal, a transformation took place. We have witnessed the gradual paganization of America and Western Culture. Baal is an overturner. He seeks to blend, blur and break God-given distinctions. His goal is to erase the clear lines between right and wrong, life and death, the natural and the unnatural, man an…

1
E190 The Molten Beast 34:29

10M ago34:29

34:29

Baal was the god of prosperity. He was the source behind increase, profit and gain. His goal was to cause the people to worship material prosperity, to pursue wealth, to serve money, instead of worshipping God. Baal’s preeminent symbol was the bull. The bull embodied his power and his connection to fertility. The appearance of the bull in ancient I…

E189 The Possessor Returns 42:34

10M ago42:34

42:34

How would Baal come to America? Baal was the god of apostasy. His mission Baal is to cause a nation that has known God to stop knowing Him and then to forget Him, and then to forget it ever knew Him. In America we have witnessed this firsthand. How did a nation founded for the glory of God and built upon the Law of God experience such a godless tra…

E188 The Re-Paganization of America 41:50

10M ago41:50

41:50

If the gods were to return, if they were to re-enter Western civilization, how would they do it? And what gods would they be? As we've watched Americans drift farther and farther from the Christian faith and a biblical worldview, we've seen a rise in paganism and godlessness. What is responsible for this radical transformation? Today we introduce y…

E187 Clash of the Gods 43:36

10M ago43:36

43:36

The birth of Christ initiated the violent clash of two opposing kingdoms. The good news is Jesus won! As the gospel spread throughout the earth, the old gods were driven out and the gospel of the kingdom brought blessing and freedom everywhere Christ was preached. What then became of these principalities? If these demonic spirits were to return to …

E186 The gods were everywhere! 43:15

11M ago43:15

43:15

Episode 186In the ancient world, the gods were everywhere. Wherever there were people, there were gods. While the names of the gods varied depending upon the culture and nation, behind those false deities of the pagan world were demonic spirits (Deuteronomy 32:17). If individuals can fall under the influence of demons, is it possible for entire peo…

E185 Return of the gods: The Mystery 44:16

11M ago44:16

44:16

For most of us, the America we grew up in is utterly unrecognizable. In fact, it's not limited to America alone. It is as if a spell has been cast on Western Civilization itself and the transformation has been taking place at lightning speed. Simple truth statements, like "there are two genders" or "only women can get pregnant" are now attacked as …

E184 Religionless Christianity 40:49

11M ago40:49

40:49

In one of his letters written during his imprisonment by the Nazi's, Bonhoeffer wondered whether we needed a "religionless Christianity." Was he advocating a Christianity without Christ or sound doctrine? Was he seeking an ecumenical movement rooted in inclusivity and tolerance as German liberal theologians promoted? Actually, he was seeking just t…

E183 Justifying Ourselves 48:13

11M ago48:13

48:13

Today we talk about the trap of moralism where Christians focus on keeping the letter of the Law but miss the heart, the essence, of what the Law intends. The German Church cooperated with Nazi authorities using Romans 13 as the justification. For them, being a Christian meant avoiding trouble at all costs, instead of serving Jesus with courage and…

I am joined today on this special Thanksgiving podcast by my lovely wife, Marion! We begin with the first Thanksgiving Proclamation issued by George Washington highlighting the undeniably Christian roots of our founding as a nation. We read a second proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln issued in the middle of the Civil War reminding us of God'…

E181 Who Do You Say God is? 40:44

12M ago40:44

40:44

Ohio voters adopted Issue 1, which creates a constitutional right to abortion. What's even more disturbing is that an estimated 20% of the voters were evangelicals, and 30% of evangelical voters voted in favor of abortion on demand throughout the entire term of pregnancy. The Bible, of course, is clear on the issue. God calls abortion an abominatio…

E180 Be Ye Not Political 46:41

12M ago46:41

46:41

The Church of Jesus Christ is called to be the conscience of the State. When the Church fails to speak for those who have no voice, we shirk our God-given responsibility, and everyone suffers from our silence. How can we speak prophetically to the most critical issues of our day - issues like the sanctity of life, marriage, sexuality, transgenderis…

E179 Speaking the Truth in Love 40:44

1y ago40:44

40:44

A common error among Christians today is to suppress the Truth in favor of demonstrating "love." We avoid the contentious and controversial issues of our day in the name of loving our neighbor. However, truth and love emanate from the same Source. Jesus is perfect Truth and perfect Love embodied. This is why we cannot separate them with doing damag…

E178 The Idol of Evangelism 44:35

1y ago44:35

44:35

There are many pastors today who argue that the Church should focus exclusively on evangelism. "What is more valuable than a soul?" they argue. It follows that speaking about anything that might offend an unbeliever is of secondary importance and should be avoided at all costs. After all, why should a lesser issue become a stumbling block to the gr…

E177 Two Errors of Faith 44:44

1y ago44:44

44:44

Episode 177What happened to the robust, passionate faith of Luther, a faith that was willing to die if necessary for truth? According to Bonhoeffer, it had dwindled to a faith of mere intellectual assent. The faith of the German Church had been reduced to a belief in proper historical creeds and doctrinal truths. The result was a hollow, passionles…
