The Christian Worldview

And so the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:10-11 Three news stories dominated the headlines in 2020: The spread and response to COVID-19Social unrest and violence over “systemic racism”The Presidential election with ongoing allegations of voting fraud While a virus, racism, and an election may not seem related to one another, the first two were cleverly used to effect the outcome of the third…and thus shape the future of our country. This weekend on The Christian Worldview, we’ll look at these issues that took center stage this year in order to prepare for the new year and a potential new political administration. We will also discuss how a compromised evangelical church has contributed to our current situation. And finally, we’ll discuss how hope in the Christ of Christmas brings peace in the midst of our uncertainty.

Last week in part 1, we discussed the reality of our Internet age that “the one who controls the information is the one who is in control.” And so be informed: Big Tech Internet companies like Facebook, Google, YouTube, Twitter, and others gather every last bit of information on those who use their platforms so they can market products to you and influence your worldview. God has given us a desire to know things and never before in history can so much information be known so quickly. This desire can turn addictive, evidenced by people being locked onto their cell phones or Internet many hours each day. Big Tech Internet uses their incomprehensible wealth and power to influence the political realm, posting “fact check” warnings on content they don’t agree with, feeding news that aligns with their worldview, and not reporting on news that would harm their preferred candidates (e.g. Hunter Biden foreign corruption scandal). This weekend in part 2, we’ll discuss how Big Tech Internet is and will become an even greater dystopian “ministry of information”, leading to the end times and the return of Christ.

Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? Romans 6:16 The one who controls the information is the one who is in control. That has become axiomatic [...]

The one who controls the information is the one who is in control.That has become axiomatic in our new age of Big Tech Internet. Companies like Facebook, Google, YouTube, and Twitter are not only some of the largest companies in history but also the most influential. They influence what people think about and what they should think about it!What’s more, these companies know how to keep you connected to their platforms through notifying you of content they know will engage you. They know you through your behavior online and the more time you spend with them, the more opportunity they have to make money and to influence you. If you don’t “comply” with their “standards”, they will just turn off your voice online...

Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation. 1 Peter 2:11-12 [...]

In a bygone era in America, it was widely affirmed that the Pilgrims’ founding of Plymouth Colony in New England and the self-governing principles of the Mayflower Compact that they agreed to prior to arriving in 1620, were the foundation of our government “of, by, and for the people” that has made this country unique and great.But then New York Times decided in their “1619 Project” that America was actually founded the year before the Pilgrims arrived when the first black slave was brought to America. In other words, the American story is really about racism rather than religious liberty.The definition of pilgrim is one who “journeys to a sacred place for religious reasons.” Peter uses the term for fellow believers saying in his letter, “Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims…”

GUEST: ROBERT KNIGHT, columnist, One News Now But as for me, my feet came close to stumbling, my steps had almost slipped. For I was envious of the arrogant as I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Psalm 73:2-3 Sidney Powell, one of the leading members of President Trump’s legal team alleging [...]

Sidney Powell, one of the leading members of President Trump’s legal team alleging election fraud, said this week:“American patriots are fed up with the corruption from the local level to the highest level of our government…We are not going to be intimidated. We are not going to back down. We are going to clean this mess up now. President Trump won by a landslide. We are going to prove it. And we are going to reclaim the United States of America for the people who vote for freedom.”If it can be proved that the recent presidential election was fraudulently tipped to Joe Biden, it would be the most significant crime in U.S. history...
