Maintaining Perspective In, Above, and Beyond the Bad News

July 26, 2010

"These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." -- Jesus Christ (John 16:33) Watch the news, listen to talk radio, read the internet and you can come away borderline depressed at the situation in the world, America, and the church. Whether it is economic recession, government intrusion into our lives, or the general moral decay and continuing loss of religious freedom in our society, the tendency can be for Christians to hang their heads and ask, “What can I do about all this and is there any good news?” Unfortunately, most churches seem blissfully unaware or impotent to help their congregants and instead focus on soft, trendy, and feel-good themes. On the other side, certain ministries seem to revel in the bad news giving short shrift to the good news and hope found in Scripture. This week on The Christian Worldview, we will take a realistic look at some of the most troubling things Christians are facing but also look to Scripture for answers on how we should think and what we should do about it.

When Culture Hates You by Natasha Crain

As cultural hostility toward Christianity intensifies, many Christians have grown more reluctant to advocate for biblical values in the public square. But our perseverance for the common good—a good defined by God alone—is more important than ever in a culture that embraces darkness.
