March 13, 2018
We take a look at Babylon Bee and the Christian use of satire on this edition of the program. Can you overuse satire when mocking aspects of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ? What about the use of sarcasm or attack humor in the home? Will the use of satire strengthen the fear of God or weaken it in your life? These are important and intensely relevant questions for every Christian.

We search for Christian colleges around the country where there is no compromise, and where there is opportunities for real discipleship. Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Ben Merkle from New St. Andrews College, and Dr. Paul Michael Raymond with the New Geneva Academy. How does a Christian college avoid the compromises of Harvard, Yale, and Princeton Universities sliding from Christian orthodoxy to rank secularist?

The Marine Corps has incorporated the first 40 females into combat training, a first in American history. We take a look at the resolutions opposing women in combat from the Southern Baptists, the PCA, the OPC, the RPCNA, and other conservative denominations. Then, we interact with a CNN article which draws out a list of the impossible expectations a feministic, sinful society places upon when in our day. We contrast this burden with Jesus’s burden which is light and easy in comparison.

Kevin Swanson walks through the process whereby the worst possible vices are made socially acceptable over a period of 70 years. Beginning with Alfred Hitchcock’s Rope in 1948, the complete debauchment of the nation was finally done by 2018. How do Christians keep themselves away from the frogs in the slowly boiling water? And, why was Governor Huckabee kicked off the Country Music Association Foundation Board? The trajectory of the Country Top 40 Stations in America stayed on a debauched trajectory for 60 years. Art is trajectory because it reflects the hearts of those who make it.

European nations like Italy and France are concerned that the Muslims are moving in and taking over. What they don’t realize is that the birth rate for Islamic nations in the Middle East and North Africa are birth imploding too, big time. Will the Christian worldview win out in the end, after all? We also discuss the worthless fights over race and the worldview of racism.

An American pastor was arrested and charged when he told a young woman at an abortion clinic that she was dead in her trespasses and sins. A mother in England is willing to go to prison to defend her rights to homeschool her children. Why are there so few examples of courage in the day in which we live? For what principle might you be willing to go to prison? Is it worth it to fight the petty tyrants down? We provide a biblical view of the struggle for liberty against the dictates of tyrants.

CBS Television is airing a sit-com targeting the Biblical Christian faith, by creating a caricature and a straw man of the Christian faith (which is subsequently burned down at least in the mind of the viewer). It is based on the best selling book, The Year of Living Biblically. The book gets it wrong on almost every level. We address these common errors people make about the Christian faith on this edition of the program.

Billy Graham’s funeral is today, very probably the biggest funeral in America in decades. The controversy swirling around Graham continues after his death. Conservatives and liberals both react negatively to the Graham phenomenon. Was Billy Graham a homophobic, Christ denying, antisemitic and bigoted failed evangelist on the wrong side of history? What about the doctrine of universalism which teaches that everybody gets saved and nobody goes to hell? We also discuss the bounds of ecumenism. Can Protestants really jointly worship with Roman Catholics given differences on key doctrines?

There are three times the number of female pastors today as there were in 1990. The breakdown of manhood and the breakdown of western society has influenced the breakdown of the church. We compare the varying pagan worldviews (including the ancient Roman and Muslim worldviews) to a Christian worldview on the roles and value of women in society.

At least 5 million Americans have Dementia, and about 50% of our fathers and mothers will have the disease by the time they reach 90 years of age. As Christians, we can rest assured that God has a reason for this disease as it afflicts our loved ones. What is it like to experience Dementia? Do personalities change? Are there certain things that cause dementia. . . or hasten the onset of it? Here is a Christian view of a common affliction, as provided by Dr. John Dunlop, author of the book, Finding Grace in the Face of Dementia.

An abortionist finally admits she relishes the power over taking life of a baby in the womb. Feminists seek the power of choice, and the power over life and death. It is the age-old quest of power apart from God. Then, we look at New-Age remedies that place mind over matter. How are people so easily swayed into New Age spiritualism in our day?
