When Does Life Begin? - Peter’s Word to Peter Buttigieg
September 27, 2019
Peter Buttigieg, Mayor of South Bend and would-be president, believes the Bible allows for abortion until a baby takes his first breath. You’ve heard the phrase, “This is something we can all interpret differently.” The Bible becomes silly putty in the hands of men who twist it to their own destruction. We draw in 2 Peter to the present apostasy, again. And, we point out that the Bible distinguishes between the creation of Adam and the birth of a child.

It is a monumental time in human history as we witness the collapse of the greatest star system in human history. Television stars have barely half the importance they had 4 years ago. Popular music system is 1/10 the size of what it was in 1999. Hollywood is 1/2 the size of what it was in national influence. The Academy of Emmys was an embarrassment this year even with popular media. The great and proud empire of man has come down again. The world passes away with its lusts, but what do Christians do?

Christian-produced film is coming into its own after a decade of work. The Kendrick brothers put the genre on the map with films like Fireproof and Courageous. Even Rotten Tomatoes had to reluctantly give their latest production, “Overcomer,” a 50% positive rating, along with the 98% audience approval rating. Why was this movie so engaging and so powerful on the audiences? Why is the world incapable of presenting a film with any sense of goodness, grace, light, power, encouragement, reconciliation and true victory over evil? We interview Stephen Kendrick on their latest film “Overcomer.”

He has his own coffee shops now. . . 825 of them in Europe. Nero is turning into the "good guy" in history. When worldviews shift, the good guys turn into the bad guys, and the bad guys turn into the good guys. Is that what is happening with Nero, the arch-tyrant of history? National Geographic suggests that this may be the case. Kevin Swanson speaks of Nero's legacy, as well as what this could portend for the post-Christian West. Should Christians stay engaged in politics? We still think so. And so do 49% of Americans, according to a recent survey.

The rapidity with which the Boy Scouts have come down after welcoming homosexuality and gender fluidity is breathtaking. The period of time between the celebration of a sin and the manifestation of the destructive effects of the sin has decreased significantly in just the last ten years. The Washington Post is concerned, and the conservative world critiques. But, why doesn’t the world talk about real solutions? There isn’t any sense in cursing the darkness, unless we are willing to start lighting candles. We light candles on this program.

We were surprised to read that the pope had switched religions. He has come out and confessed him to be a new humanist, advocating an education that puts man in the center, instead of God. He is calling for an internationalized education, quoting Hillary Clinton’s “It takes a village to raise a child.” Humanism has crept in and dominated education over 800 years, but now humanism has become the codified religion in the minds of Catholics and Protestants. However, we call for a reformation in education — placing God at the center, and Christ preeminent.

Why must EVERY Christian star who wants to make it in the big time, from Carrie Underwood to Lauren Daigle, make proper prostrations to the gods of homosexuality? Why must they pass muster on the Ellen Degeneres show? Daigle is the biggest Christian (female) star of the last twenty years—but will she stand up for Jesus Christ as Lord? Why must we shift to pronouns when we speak of the Lord in popular songs, while in the limelight of the world? Followers of Christ must be infamous. . . not famous in the eyes of the world. They must convict the world of sin, as Jesus did.

Military and police work is part of God’s ordination, and yet there are spiritual, mental, and emotional challenges involved — often after retirement.

There is one worm in the gourd, one little fly swimming around in the ointment of modern life — STI’s. The New York Times editorializes on the shame culture that still surrounds STI’s. We are reaping the whirlwind now, with the massive increase in drug deaths and STI infections. We talk about God’s redemption, as well as the physical consequences that surround a dissolute culture. What are the affects, for example, of pornography addictions on the next 25-50 years of a marriage?

The last thing you want to do is split your church or support group over debates on essential oils. Opinions fly fast and furiously. But Christians insist on liberties on the use of God’s plants, while at the same time requiring truthfulness. The constant quest for a fountain of youth and for a panacea for all ills is something Christians are not interested in. Here are principles for handling snake oil and God’s good oils.

High-profile divorces like Todd and Sarah Palin’s have a symbolic significance for the state of a nation. But, then there are high-profile solid marriages like that of our Vice President. Is a man’s or a woman’s marriage of more importance and significance than the government policy or political impact they tout?
