God and Country Biblical Exposition

World leaders at Davos were hoping to implement their globalist agenda, but “Trump won and Globalism lost.”  President Trump’s agenda is overturning at least seven major Leftist ideologies: Transgenderism, DEI, Global Warming, Open Borders, Abortion, Economic Lawlessness, Judicial Lawlessness.  In the Bible study, I cover again the example in the book of Judges. What were these Judges saying, and...

In the Biblical doctrine of salvation, we learn that God does the saving; not only justification, but also sanctification and glorification.  From beginning to end, salvation is of the Lord (Jonah 2:9).  There is a civil government application to this truth.  If there is a swing toward righteousness in a nation, God may be using secondary agents, but He is the one doing the work.  It is crucial th...

In Trump’s press conference at Mar-a-Lago, he emphasized that “we are now a nation of common sense.”  What is common sense?  And why does both the Left and the Right claim they have it and the other side has lost it?  This program is about the common sense found in God’s natural law and the Biblical worldview.  

Right before the New Year, Congress passed a continuing resolution to keep the government funded with more money printing.  The Federal government brings in 4 Trillion and spends 6 Trillion.  D.O.G.E (The Department of Government Efficiency) promises to cut 2 Trillion and balance the budget.  The bureaucrat leisure class is not happy.  “The exercise of justice is joy for the righteous, but is terr...

The hymn “Joy to the World” was written by Isaac Watts.  The lyrics reflect Watt’s 17th century postmillennialism.  When does Christ come to “rule the world with truth and grace and make the nations prove the glories of his righteousness”?  In Revelation 11, when the Seventh Angel sounds then the Kingdoms of this world will become the Kingdoms of our Lord.  In the Temptation, Jesus would not take...

Evangelical Christians tend to think in terms of “salvation”, “The Gospel”, The Church”, “Heaven” but we rarely think in terms of “The Kingdom.”  However, the “Kingdom” is mentioned continually throughout the New Testament.  The apostle Paul preached the Kingdom of God (Acts 28:3).  The spiritual lesson embodied in God calling his people a Kingdom includes the truth of citizenship. obedience, mili...

The Syrian government has collapsed, and ISIS terrorists have taken over the country.   This will usher in a dramatic change in Middle East geopolitical dynamics.  Here at Christmas time, the event also reminds us of the prophecy the Messiah’s birth in Isaiah 7:14.  The child born of a virgin was to be the sign to King Ahaz that Israel would be delivered from the invading armies of Rezin, king of...

Last week SCOTUS heard The United States vs. Skrmetti.  The Biden Administration has taken the state of Tennessee to court to overturn the new Tennessee law prohibiting gender changing medical procedures on minors.  After reviewing the case, I cover three truths brought to light by this case: (1) It is impossible to change one's gender, (2) Transgender activists and supporters are deviants, and (3...

The murder of Laken Riley is a reminder of the death and devastation that ensues when civic leaders enact unjust government policy; that is, when government neglects to follow its Romans 13 mandate to be an avenger against evil doers.   The Bible is also clear that civic leaders are morally accountable for the outcomes of their policies.  Hence, many have the blood of Laken Riley on their hands.

With the soon to be radically conservative administration in Washington there is a dramatic cultural shift.  Will president Trump be able to implement his policies of reversing illegal immigration, expunging DEI, saving American business through tariffs, shrinking the size of bloated government and rooting out corruption in the deep state? Will it be successful?  We don’t know!  “Though the wise m...

Last week we looked at the rejoicing over Trump’s victory; this week we look at the opposite response, “Terror to the workers of iniquity.”  After covering the ideological worldview behind the rage of the Left, I discuss secondary reasons for the anger.  The nations are truly in a rage against the Lord (Psalm 2).  

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 fal...

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?  

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...

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.     

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. 

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 e...

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...

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...

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.

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...

Leftist “Evangelicals” have created a political campaign organization called Evangelicals for Harris.  In this program I refute their false arguments.  The bottom line is that they fall for the classic heresy of basing morals and policies upon the general concept of love for people, rather than upon the moral law of God.  

Quite a few people, on both the right and left, are telling Trump to tone down the criticism, to stop the name calling, and to stick with the issues.  This makes for a good occasion to address the whole issue of discerning the difference between maligning others vs. calling out their sin.  I begin by covering what the Bible teaches in this regard, and I conclude with the current day politics.   

Kamala Harris is campaigning on the slogan of freedom.  This is actually the Left’s basis for morals – human freedom and humanism, rather than morals being based on God’s natural law.  So with freedom as her moral foundation, Harris believes she is being the epitome of righteousness in promoting the freedom to practice abortion, the freedom to practice LGBTQ, the freedom to be an illegal immigrant...

  This week’s program addresses, (1) the error of believing there is a moral equivalency between the two parties, and (2) the power of sin to deceive the wicked into believing they are righteous.  These two points will be before us in the rhetoric coming out of the next week’s Democrat convention.   It is easy to be deceived, but the only way to tell right from wrong is the moral law of God given...
