Month: November 2020

This week, Chris and Rich talk about how evangelical elites laid the foundation for Christians to vote for the party of Joe Biden (whose platform is patently anti-biblical) while rejecting incumbent President Trump (who had fought for policies that favored Christian freedom, life, and liberty).

This week, Rich and Chris tip a sacred cow of evangelism by asking should we say “accept Jesus into your heart” or “receive Christ as Lord and Savior.” Is there a difference? Does it matter how closely we align with biblical terminology? Or are we just nitpicking at words?

James White’s Poll (No, we were not kidding!)

On this Veteran’s Day, we honor soldiers past and present who put their lives on the line to protect freedom and liberty in our nation. We admire the selfless sacrifice of our soldiers. Knowing that sometimes they will be viewed negatively by people, they still give their all no matter what the tides of culture may bring.

Yet, within the Christian church – which is called to fight a very different kind of war, spiritual warfare – we are too often swayed by how we are viewed by culture. We can be fearful we will not be liked, will be seen as intolerant, and that people may reject us. We feel the need to weaken the gospel and water down the message to make it palatable to the culture at large.

Christians, you are a soldier in the Lord’s army. While the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, we have the greatest weapons possible in the Word, in prayer, and in the Holy Spirit. We need never fear what culture may call us, for the commander of our spiritual army is the Lord Himself. We submit to His commands and His orders. Concern yourself with fighting for His cause and let the world do what it will.

Like the soldiers we honor today, concern yourself not for the cares of this world, submit yourself to the authority of our true Lord and Commander, fight His fight and God will win the battle.

Looking back to earlier this year, when Chris and Rich discussed how even well-intended online discussions can fan the flames of an angry people.  Not only what topics we choose to engage but how we address these issues can inadvertently add fuel to the fire.  As Christians, even in matters of important doctrinal issues, we must treat others as creations in the image and likeness of God, showing grace and mercy as God has been merciful to us.  In this episode, they also ask the listeners to take time to pray that God would pour out His mercy on our nation.
