678 (Video Audio 331) Why Evangelicals are Rejoicing in Trump's Victory

Evangelicals are ecstatic over the election results. But because some Evangelicals see Trump as a quasi-conservative, they are reluctant to rejoice. Yet, throughout the Bible, every social leader was flawed.  Nevertheless, God’s people would still rejoice when the righteous king (relatively righteous) came to the throne.  This brings up the Biblical question, “how can we rejoice at all in this fallen world?”

677 (Video Audio 330) The Final Four Kings of Israel

Election Day:  Rather than discussing more news about the election, this week’s program is about Bible History.  There are timeless, spiritual lessons to be learned in a study of the 22-year period of Israel’s final four kings.  Their reign ended in the destruction of the nation.  How did these kings drive the nation off the cliff?
 

676 (Video Audio 329) Sleazy Politicians & The October Surprise

In order to make the biggest impact on the election, political candidates usually wait until October to expose dirt on their opposition.  This October, since the Democrats and their media surrogates have used up all of their ammunition on Trump, they could only recycle the two year old story that Trump’s chief of Staff, John Kelly, claimed Trump admired Hitler.  The media made it look like a whole new story by interviewing John Kelly once again.  This week’s program delves into the strange projection of the Democrats calling Trump a Fascist.  In the program, I also provided some commentary on how Abimelech and Absalom are examples of the methods used by sleazy, unprincipled politicians.

675 (Video Audio 328) How to Pray for the Election - Part 2

This week’s program is a continuation of program 672 (Video 325) – How to pray for the elections.   Since there are so many more requests that Christians are told to pray for, especially as seen in the Psalms, this subject deserves a second program.   
 

674 (Video Audio 327) It will take a miracle for Trump to Win

As we close in on the election, this week’s program is another reminder that God’s hand of providence determines the outcome. The media and the campaign consultants may believe they are the king makers, but God ordains the moves that either ensure victory or defeat.  The Bible is filled with texts and stories that remind us of this truth. 

673 (Video Audio 326) The VP Debate - Lies and More Lies

Politicians, even conservative politicians, are unwilling to tell the truth about any issue because they can’t afford to lose the vote of any special interest group.  This results in a steady downward descent into more lies and corruption.  The lowest common denominator rules the culture.  To save the country, we need civic leaders who are willing to tell the truth no matter what the cost.   But everyone is greedy for short-term gain, rather than being principled and passionate about the truth.

672 (Video Audio 325) How to Pray for the Election

In this weeks program I share some Biblical insights in how to pray for the upcoming election.  Certainly we should be praying, as we are commanded to pray for all who are in authority (1 Timothy 2), but like the disciples, we need to be taught how to pray.  I share some initial doctrines about prayer and then give six additional truths about prayer.  Since I am traveling this week, there is only the radio broadcast. 

671 (Video Audio 324) Christianity vs White Fragility

Matt Walsh with the Daily Wire has a new movie called “Am I a Racist?”  In a very humorous and entertaining way, the film exposes the error of these new anti-racist ideologies, what Walsh calls these “Race Hustlers”.  In view of this movie, in this week’s program I review one of the stars of the movie – Rob DiAngelo and her book White Fragility.  A complete refutation of her falsehoods would take hours, so I focus on expositing what the Bible says about racism, and then expose the main error in the White Fragility thesis.  God’s values are labeled “white values” so that they can be discredited as racist.

670 (Video Audio 323) A Biblical debriefing of the Trump-Harris Debate

Although the Trump-Harris debate is now old news, there are still some timeless lessons to be learned.   The debate was another example of how, even though truth is objective, because we are sinners, truth is in the eye of the beholder.  One’s ideological worldview influenced whether Trump or Harris was the liar.

669 (Video Audio 322) Book Review - Shepherds for Sale

The Christian journalist Megan Basham has just published a book that exposes the infiltration of Leftist ideology into Evangelical churches and organizations.  Big leftist donors and foundations have a well-conceived plot to use grants to push their progressive ideology in the last hold out, the Evangelical Church.   At the root of the problem is unsaved, second generation evangelicals who believe in a different Gospel and a different Jesus.
