The most insidious, the most thorough-going work of principalities and powers on Earth is the $5 trillion mega-institution of Public Education in the secular humanist worldview. Pastor John Piper summarizes it this way: "There's no safe place in the world for kids. [A] radically Christian education at home . . . will be needed in order to build into the children's lives two deep and unshakable convictions." What does a family do in Sweden who has no alternative to the homosexualized, secularized, nihilistic ethics of the public schools?

After 80,000,000 abortions and the U.S. birth implosion dipping to 1.5 children per woman, what will social security look like in 2035? In 1950, there were 16 workers for 1 retiree. In 2015, there were 3 workers for 1 retiree. In 2035, there will be 2 workers for 1 retiree. What will Christians do when euthanasia comes on like a storm? Are we making any progress with the IUD abortions, and the Kill Pill abortions? Thirteen percent of women getting abortions claim to be evangelicals, and evangelicals make up barely 20% of the population. And there is no statistical difference between the percentage of evangelicals using IUD’s (long-acting systems of conception control), and the rest of the population. But Jesus called us to love. Families should love babies. Jesus calls us not to kill our babies and our elderly. If the love of God dwells in us, then we will love them and not kill them. Will the Christian church look markedly different from the world in this generation?

Bill Gates’ divorce is rocking the world. It’s only another sign of the massive instability that has taken the whole world. The six most powerful people in the world are divorced. None of the most powerful persons in the world were divorced in 1970. Power and money aren't helping anymore. Salvation is only of the Lord. A perfect storm has developed out of global instability at four levels—social, political, economic, and psychological. When the foundations are destroyed, what will the righteous do? God is in His holy temple.

How did we get to this point that Christians are about to be persecuted at the hands of homosexuals and others who advocate the Equality Act? Christianity Today’s narrative points to evangelical activism and anti-pluralistic intolerance as the problem. The position fails to answer the most critical question, and as always rejects Scriptural ethics in favor of a poem read at the Biden inauguration.

The church is not about the entertainment. . .  church growth programs. . . coffee shops. . . . The church is not about welfare distributions in the inner cities. . . attempting to compete with LBJ's food stamp programs. The church is not a community center. . . . The church is not a building. What is the church? What are we looking for in the church? Life. The Power of God. The Body of Christ. What would happen if the Holy Spirit came over fathers and mothers, and the hearts of fathers turned towards the children. . . really? Dr. Carlton McLeod from Calvary Reformation Church joins us for a lively conversation about a Holy Spirit initiated reformation in the church.

"Turn out the lights, the party's over." For what may be our last foray into a dying culture, we visit the 93rd Academy Awards for Motion Pictures in 2020. We read the eulogy of Western culture once more. Yet, shades of Christ and echoes of a Christian era still linger even in the last films to receive the tarnished awards in that non-celebratory celebration. As Western culture continues its destructive path, will islands of culture form in the monasteries of the new dark age?

Will the president's unprecedented $4 trillion plus $1.9 trillion plan to bring in free preschool and free college, and other womb-to-tomb bennies bankrupt the nation? Or will this be the slow drain on a once prosperous nation? The effects of envy are always destructive. The intent on the part of the left to tax capital or destroy capital will put a squeeze on the middle class. At first glance, Christians see the "soak the rich" strategy as a wonderful form of funding irresponsible government, the Scriptures condemn such legalized plunder. We discuss the biblical view of wealth on this edition of the program.

Does God's commandment to love our neighbors as ourselves require that we get an immunization shot for COVID? A recent poll found most American Christians say "Yes" to that. If we were to love our neighbor, what would we say about the 1,500,000 deaths that are self-inflicted each year? And when it comes to the golden rule, we point out that three is some bit of subjectiveness and some limitation of knowledge as to what would produce good for ourselves and our neighbors. Thus, shall we provide some liberty for our neighbors on decisions like the mRNA shot?

The great bane and root source of apostasy for the Christian church is always traced back to the liberal college faculty in Christian colleges. From whence is the tension between the faculty and the more conservative boards of these Christian colleges? Red-state parents send their kids to blue colleges, and they always turn out blue. But why? Can the Christian college be fixed, or is the entire system programmed to a bad end? What about education majors? Psychology majors? Sociology majors? Where did these come from?

We add up the carbon dioxide produced by the oil used to build car batteries for one electric car plus the coal burn required to power the thing for 100,000 miles. In total, the electric car produces twice the carbon dioxide as a gas-powered car. But what if carbon dioxide was good for plants, producing a greener planet? What about that? Should Christians be concerned about the efforts to raise the price of energy by two to four times on the part of governments which are running nations into bankruptcy?
