During the earthly life of Christ, the Pharisees were a strict religious sect known for their public displays of religious acts, such as wearing showy garments, fastidiously washing hands, and giving alms and praying in front of others.Today, the term “Pharisee” is synonymous with “hypocrite” because Jesus said the Pharisees didn’t actually practice what they preached (Matt. 23:3). They focused on the minute aspects of God’s Law but neglected the larger matters of “justice, mercy, and faithfulness” (v. 23).In a similar vein, those who scream the loudest about “injustice” are selective in their outrage.

50 years ago in August 1969, just weeks after man set foot on the moon, a rock music festival know as “Woodstock” took place in upstate New York in a small town named Bethel. Nearly half a million young people descended on the town for three days of what would be an iconic event in American history.
PBS recently released a film entitled Woodstock: Three Days that Defined a Generation. What took place at Woodstock that “defined a generation”? Why is this music festival, known for drug use and “free love”, considered to be “a handoff of the country between generations with far different values and ideals”? How does it help explain where we are today?...

16-year-old Swedish “climate activist” Greta Thunberg lectures the United Nations about adults’ failure to act on global warming
School children being allowed to skip class to take part in climate change protests
Public libraries inviting “drag queens” to read stores to children
Minnesota school district hiring “equity” director to eliminate “white privilege” and “Christian privilege" and integrate Islam
This weekend on The Christian Worldview, we’ll discuss the ongoing effort to capture the hearts and minds of children and what parents must know and do...
