Abraham Piper's "ministry" is now twice the size of Pastor John Piper's when it comes to "followers" online. But, his is apologetics for atheism. Although the tone is mockery, we take the questions seriously and address them one by one. But there is still a sadness, and such apostasies yield "sorrow and continual grief" for our countrymen who are cut out of the olive tree.

In the present tumultuous times, more than ever folks are asking, "What now? Where do we invest? Do we prepare for persecution? Where is this going?" Never was it more critical to discern the times so we can know what to do. With his "Benedict Option" and "Live Not by Lies," Rod Dreher has become something of a prophetic voice. Whether you have read up on these subjects or not, this program will be helpful. We summarize briefly what Rod Dreher gets right and what he gets wrong in this program.

Did Peter and John break the law by repeatedly preaching on temple grounds or private property, despite official regulations prohibiting them? How much can we Monday-Morning Quarterback churches suffering from persecution? The key passages examined here are 1 Corinthians 7:21-23 and Acts 5:29 in light of the ever-expanding Orwellian tyrannies descending on the Western states. 

The Martha-to-Mary ratio tends to rise for young mothers with multiple little ones. Kevin Swanson interviews Leslie Ludy on her experience with young mothering. How do she find peace and joy in the throes of day-to-day mothering? This program will be a lift of spirits for every Christian mother out there.

There is almost a perfect correlation between the atheistic nations or liberal states and their economic weakness and fear in the face of COVID. The atheists are in great fear, where no fear was—that's the clear testimony of Psalm 53. Apsotate Christian nations are on the decline, and non-Christian nations like China are on the rise. What's the difference? The West is culpable, and it will be more tolerable in the day of judgment for China. . . .

More than ever Christians need to be discerning of fake science using astrology or computer modeling to predict the future. The hype and the rah-rah economics is everywhere now as everybody hopes against hope that the mass stealing, the debt, the quantitative easing, the endless stimulus plans will salvage the American economy. Profit by robbery will never sustain. We draw in Psalm 62:10, Proverbs 12:5, and Proverbs 14:8. 

Why would the two most conservative governors in the country fold like a cheap suit when it came to kid-transgenderism? We compare this to the behind-the-scenes explanation for Roe v. Wade, and why the conservative justices folded so quickly to the zeitgeist to introduce the abortion holocaust to America. It is a lesson in the lapse of faith at the highest levels. It wasn't so much a conspiracy. It was the force of the media, the Gramscian zeitgeist, and the apostasy of the kids—influencing the most powerful leaders in the country.

Still over half of American public school students are in stuck in distance-learning as the Covid crisis continues. But homeschooling is still growing in leaps and bounds. Now estimates put it at 6 million students, exceeding the private school population for the first time in American history. The public school monopoly is cracking, and this may be a benefit for America. Kevin Swanson points out the failure of public schools and explains why homeschooling is head-and-shoulders better than public school distance-learning.

A federal lawsuit just filed is challenging the US Dept. of Ed's exemptions for Christian colleges on Title IX requirements. Christian colleges are facing the ultimate test as they become the ultimate target for the Biden administration and the left. In Al Mohler's words, and Joshua's words for that matter: "Choose ye this day." Either the schools will have to compromise their values to receive the Title IX dollars or. . . lose it. But then again, liberal arts schools are usually. . . liberal. Humanities professors in the US are only 6% Republican. English Lit professors register 2% Republican, Sociology professors are 0%, and Business professors register 26% Republican. Overall, the university professor population's Democrat-to-Republican ratio stands at 10.4 to 1. Liberal arts was always the tip of the spear for the unravelling of Christian culture in the West. 

The number of Americans attending church last month—a dismal 17%, down from 49% ten years ago. The Scriptures are extremely serious about the importance of attending church. But, must the church follow through on a mask mandate? We encourage pastors and church leaders to make the call, considering the elderly, considering Christian liberty, and considering the data related to masks. But what if you fall on the wrong side of the mask issue with your local church? We encourage you to dig into the more substantial issues—and increase in courage,  faith, and love, and pray that the Holy Spirit returns to the churches.
