God and Country Biblical Exposition

728 (Video Audio 377) Ecclesiastes in 50 Minutes - Part 1

Ecclesiastes is a greatly misunderstood Biblical book, but it has great relevance for our day; that is, if the points Solomon makes are understood in our modern terminology and context.  Knowing Ecclesiastes is necessary for Christian maturity and service.  Like all Scripture, Ecclesiastes was given to us by the Holy Spirit for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness (2Timothy 3:16).  Christians must thoroughly learn Ecclesiastes!
 

727 (Video Audio 376) Biblical Insights regarding the Government Shutdown

The current government shutdown is a harbinger of a coming economic collapse. The core problem is the government having to borrow two trillion dollars/year to maintain government largesse.  This is not sustainable!  Turn to the Kingdom of Christ because the Kingdom of Man will collapse.  The other lesson is hatred toward the Republican worldview concerning social and economic morals.  This is another example of the Lawless battling the lawful.
 

726 (Video Audio 375) Biblical Insights into the "No King" Protests

The “No King” movement is masterful propaganda attempting to link current day Leftism to America’s Founders and the Revolution.   However, we all know what the Left means by “No King” today is not what our Founding Fathers envisioned.  The protest against the authority of the president is also a Red Herring Fallacy.  The Democrats are all for a totalitarian big Government that would force their agenda.  What they are actually opposing are his policies.  I concluded with some ethics concerning magisterial authority. 
 

725 (Video Audio 374) The Questionable Gaza Peace Deal & The Gaza Prophecy

The terms of Trump’s peace deal in Gaza are absurd.  Hamas will die before they ever disarm and relinquish power.  But likely, what we are hearing is for public consumption.  We should suspect that the real deal Trump is making with Egypt and Qatar is being hidden, even hidden from Hamas. I conclude by discussing the Biblical prophecy that Gaza will be a desolation.  Is this prophecy fulfilled in the ancient past or is there a double fulfillment in the future?
 

724 (Video Audio 373) NYC Should Not Elect Mamdani

There are two simple reasons New Yorkers should not elect Mamdani as their next mayor, (1) He is Muslim, and (2) He is a communist.  Despite the horror that some may feel that a candidate is being judged ideologically for his religion and economic theories, in this program I explain the validity of those two objections.

723 (Video Audio 372) The Absurd Hate Speech Accusation

In the first part of this week’s program I discuss the spiritual impact of Charlie Kirk’s memorial and Megan Basham’s conclusion that the wedding of Christianity with conservative politics only helped the church to grow.  In the second part, I discuss the ridiculous accusation against Christians that they are engaged in hate speech.
 

722 (Video Audio 371) The Christian Case for Law Enforcement

This week is a review of some basic truths concerning God’s institution of government and law enforcement.  It is important to frame the culture war as a battle between the lawful and the lawless. 

721 (Video Audio 379) A Tribute to Charlie Kirk

It is only right for this week’s program to be a memorial to Charlie Kirk. What more can I add to the fine tributes given by many pundits, politicians, and preachers?  On my part, at least I can contribute some overlooked Biblical texts and issues.
 

720 (369 Video Audio) - Is A.I. The Beast

Some Christian YouTubers and Websites are claiming A.I. is the anti-Christ, almost as if it is alive and sentient.  The Christian community would do well to understand that A.I. is a compiler of knowledge available to the World-wide Web.  In this program, I give an example of A.I. generating a computerized host doing a podcast on one of my programs.  I give with four observations about A.I. – The Revolution, The Plagiarism, The Empowerment, and the Control.  I conclude with a brief look at Revelation 13 and the Mark of the Beast.

719 (Video Audio 369) Biblical Lessons in DC Law Enforcement

The big story in Trump’s federalization of the DC police force is the pushback coming from pundits, ideologues and politicians on the Left.  The Democrat party used to at least give lip service to anti-crime measures, but now they are willing to pander to the voting constituency that opposes law enforcement.  What is going on here?  Are they naïve?  Have they just lost any conviction against sin? Or maybe they are pleased with thieves and adulterers because they are doing the same thing, and they are of the same spirit.  The explanation is as simple as mice don’t want more cats.  The Judges 19 Benjamite Waris an example of a people group who refused help in law enforcement because all the Benjamites were practicing the evil.
