While families enjoy Christmas all over America, a Christian continues serving time in a prison for his faith. Caught on a technicality while trying to help another Christian extricate herself from an ungodly relationship, Phillip Zodhiates is working on his third year in prison. Here is a bonafide persecution case taking place in the United States, but will the president of the United States pardon him? He pardons drug dealers, bank robbers, and others. Would he pardon a Christian?

As opposition to Christianity intensifies in Western nations, how do real Christians respond? How does the Apostle Peter and the others respond to the intense opposition on the part of the religious leaders in the Book of Acts? Dr. Erwin Lutzer, author of the new book “We Will Not Be Silenced,” describes the present antithesis and the proper Christian response to it. How do we resist amalgamation into the world’s ideas? How do we speak the truth in love? How does courage and faith demonstrate itself in the present situation?

The golden age of Hollywood is over. . . way over. The cultural powerhouse which led much of the revolution that destroyed the West is a mere shadow of what she used to be. The harlot on the beast has got a bad case of arthritis and dementia. In 1930, 80 million Americans attended the cinema weekly, and that fell to 24 million in 2019, down to almost nothing in 2020. The star system has collapsed. We provide a brief history of Hollywood as it took the lead in the sexual revolution of the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. The worldview shifted from decadent to decayed and dystopian. Nobody is watching the movies favored by the Academy. It’s over. The Babylon of Revelation 18 always seems to topple, and heaven rejoices.

The socialists and liberals always pretend compassion, and they end up killing more people. The body count racks up when you look at what communists, socialists, eugenicists, and liberals have done to the world since 1900. After killing 4.5 billion people, liberals would get upset with conservatives who wish to implement the death penalty on a few hundred people. But, the root issue is that they don’t fear God, which would have been the beginning of wisdom. We contrast the modern state with the formation of the nation. Was America ever a Christian country? The answer is yes. . .until 1789. 

Celebrity pastors seeking to be famous turn out to be infamous, and the pattern repeats itself over and over again. But pastors who follow in the bloody footsteps of the Master will be infamous in a different way. They would be infamous for the same reason that Jesus was infamous and dragged over to the cross. But what is the difference between celebrity pastors and shepherds who are totally accessible, always approachable, and generally throwing their lives away for the flock?

The nation is more divided than ever, but are the things that divide us of little substance? If the matters are the persecution of Christians and killing babies, then the divide must be as wide as the Grand Canyon. The nation is weakening and dividing. Internationalism, multiculturalism, anti-Christian sentiments, disillusionment with democracy and elections, and partisanship are chipping away at the integrity of America. Rifts are developing. Secession is discussed. Could decentralization protect a few liberties? Perhaps, but only the dismantling of socialist education would bring any meaningful protection of liberty.

Good news and bad news. A thirty-five year study tracks the biblical worldview acumen of Christian schoolers, home schoolers, and public schoolers, and finds the homeschoolers have improved substantially, and Christian schoolers have steadily declined over 35 years. But, what is the major problem with the worldview of most young folks today? Why are they tending towards Marxism and socialism? Here are important insights for the present day. 

The best thing governments can do to stop the despair deaths and recreational drug use is not to ban alcohol and drugs, but ban the teaching of evolution in the public schools. Also, governments could impose responsibility by removing government funding of medical care and other forms of welfare. We discuss the rising use of pot, and the legalization of drugs in the US.

America is hitting another baby bust during COVID-19. Beyond the typical self-centeredness and materialistic outlook, there is a dystopian view of the future that is dominating in the minds of the millennial generation now. The women had no more children, and the man lost reason and faith (and hope). But, do the covenant promises of God in Acts 2, and elsewhere, render hope and encouragement to Christian parents?

The proportion of high school teachers believing in creation has dropped from 9% to 4% since 2007. Meanwhile, a 40 year experiment in evolution has yielded a dead end. After 60,000 generations of E.coli, the E.coli has turned into. . .well . . . It’s still E.coli. Why would 96% of high school biology teachers believe in a fairy tale — a far-fetched hypothesis, no defined mechanism, no meaningful transitional forms in the fossil layers, and zero laboratory evidence in its favor? We spend a few minutes offering examples of irreducible complexity, and going over the impossibility of evolution even if this were a chance universe.
