Evil very seldom presents itself in the form of a forked tail and pitchfork; instead, it is usually wrapped in charm, nice personalities, or empty verbal professions.  This is becoming especially true in today's culture.  thus, it is vitally important to discern when there's danger and expose the evil behind such motives or words.  How can we help our children do this?  Steve Vaughan and...

Guest host Adam McManus talks with Producer, Writer, and Director Rich Christiano about his latest Christian film entitled Play the Flute . It’s the story of a new youth pastor (Brett Varvel) who takes over an indifferent youth group to try to motivate his students to read God’s Word and get serious about their relationship with the Lord. The cast includes Sean Ormond, Kennedy Tucker, Clint Howard...

Fifty percent of Americans switch religions/denominations before they turn fifty. Kevin Swanson takes a look at a Wall Street Journal article of a Baptist family whose sons turn Anglican and Roman Catholic. And, everybody's quite happy about it. Is choosing a denomination about the same as choosing Mint Chip or Rocky Road at the Baskin Robbins' counter? Are people turning to a "trad...

The few Mennonites in Quebec are fast losing religious liberty, especially when it comes to raising their children in the fear of God. We take a look at the strengths of Mennonites and the tensions between involvement in politics and disengagement, cultural transformation and cultural avoidance or escape. What's the gating factor for staying or leaving? When do Christians get out of Dodge?

Does your daughter know the derivative of a cosine? Does she know how the pinocytic vesicle functions in the Amoeba? Does she know who Rome fought in the Punic was? Can she parse just about any Latin verb? And, does she know how to integrate knowledge into life? Most educated children have no idea how to solve problems, how to manage households, how to engage life and contribute to an economy. Tha...

Are young men looking for debt-free virgins without tattoos to marry? Or do they prefer college educated women who will work for a living and take birth control, so that the young men can keep playing video games? We look at two different articles that take a different angle at this question. Would it be better to marry a repentant prostitute who is at the feet of Christ washing His feet with her...

States are mandating comprehensive sex education in perversions for all charter schools and government-funded homeschool programs.  When homeschooling parents take the government dollars they subject their children to these mandates. It’s time to realize that what Caesar funds, Caesar will control.  About 92% of evangelical kids are still in public schools, while 9 states mandate pro-homosexual te...

Lady Gaga and Ocascio-Cortez see themselves as good Christians, better Christians than Vice President Mike Pence. Increasingly, media and political debates are centering around who is the "better Christian" — the tolerant ones or the intolerant ones of stuff like killing children and homosexual perversions. We interact with Lady Gaga’s Facebook post with Becky Roach. But, the real questi...

Virginia’s Governor Ralph Northam lost his political support from his own party, because somebody put the wrong picture, a bad picture, on his yearbook page in 1986. Never mind his support of infanticidal negligence. Never mind his failure to fear God. But, what brings these leaders down? What is the more fundamental problem? Meantime, the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities explain wh...

Where materialistic evolution most trips and falls on its face is when it confronts the origins of man and the ontology of man. What is man? How is he different from the other sentient life? How did he come to be so different? What is this sense of righteousness and morality about him? Dr. Edgar Andrews engages this topic with more thoughtfulness and down-to-earth argumentation than anything you’v...

While empires fall and the department heads of education are sputtering about how wonderful transgenderism would be taught in Christian schools and Sunday Schools, Christians must commit themselves to a more optimistic education for their kids.  This is a clarion call for an optimistic education in a pessimistic age. We don’t want our kids committing suicide and participating in the massive drug a...

It turns out liberal arts professors in top 51 liberal arts colleges in America are. . . LIBERAL!   The ratio of Republicans to Democrats is 49 to 1!!  Were we sending our kids there to be sure that the next generation of pastors, political leaders, and academic teachers/professors in Christian colleges will be twice as liberal as the last batch?   J.D. Grear and Matt Chandler are talking Class Pr...

We try to figure out why college-aged kids are leaving church by the droves - 70% of them. And most of them leave church "unintentionally." That means most kids are attending church unintentionally! Families attend church like they drop in on Taco Bell. However, what they fail to understand is the church is not Taco Bell. The Church is not an event. It is the body of the living Christ. A...

Why is the abortion rate for Catholics higher than the rest of the country, while the Protestant rates are lower?  A Catholic Governor signs the worst abortion law in the nation, but why won’t the Catholics excommunicate him?  Where is the courage of Ambrose who stood down Emperor Theodosius after his bloody purge at Thessalonica?  We draw in some important history to remind our listeners that the...

Modern society has lost its humanity and its identity. The insanity is thorough-going partially because the medium is the message.  Gender confusion is a symptom of more fundamental brokenness, as Dr. Alistair Roberts shares on this program.  How will the church restore humanity and community in this dystopian age? 

The “Brave New World” continues living out the horror of godless science, with surrogacy on the rise.  The manufacture of orphans, the depersonalization of the fetus, the hiring of wombs, the selling of children, the encouragement of child drag queens, all add up to the victimization of children.  Christians should at the very least wake up to the abominations practiced by the world, realize the s...

Vice President Mike Pence defends a small Christian school in Virginia, after it receives searing attacks for refusing to embrace the homosexual vision for the world.  Sadly, Christian education is on the decline in America. . .making up smaller and smaller segments of American K-12 education. Genuine Christians however will demand Christian education for their children in the vein of Deuteronomy...

Teen popular culture now has shifted into almost 100% Satanism, homosexuality, and suicide.  While Christian parents want to protect their children from these ungodly influences, they can’t protect their kids from their own hearts.   What do you tell a parent whose teen kids are in rebellion after they’ve done “all the right things?”   

We arrive on Day 34 in the longest government shutdown in history. This brings up a discussion on the purpose of government. Is government intended to regulate every part of life? Does government fix problems? What is the role for government as assigned by God? The most important lesson for all of us is that government doesn’t change the world. Jesus changes the world. Jesus Christ has come to sav...

It’s a low time in American Christianity, but are we doing better than we were in the 1970s?   Many are seeking revival but what does that mean?  Rearranging the furniture, trying a whole new set of programs, introducing a new worship band, or reverting to house churching. . .none of that will work, without the power of God opening the hearts of the people and bringing about real conversions.   We...

College campuses and most of culture is now swimming in victimhood, and the snowflakes are screaming “micro-aggression,” especially if any dare to question victim culture.  This creates much dissension and disunity, a destabilization of human society.  We contrast victim culture against honor culture, dignity culture, and. . . humble culture.   Modern culture is soaking in pride, self-esteem, and...

Video games sales have reached $85 billion, and that’s 4X the total toy market.  Does real joy entail entertaining ourselves to death? Real rejoicing happens in community and in the face of God.  We summarize true joy as occurring as we rejoice in the victory, in hope, and in relationship with God.  

The liberal news media points to the collapse of Bill Gothard, the firing of Paige Patterson, and the shrinkage of Bob Jones University as an indication that authoritarianism and fundamentalism is about gone in America. But what is this authoritarianism and fundamentalism? There was a cheap knock-off form of fundamentalism that is collapsing, but is there something that still remains. Here is a di...

The American Psychological Association has concluded that traditional masculinity is toxic to the nation. Competitiveness, male aggression, achievement, and risk are seen as threatening and toxic to the present social milieu. Do we really like "traditional" masculinity if that means able machismo and a tendency to want to commit sexual sin? What is true biblical masculinity? This is the...

Church attendance in England dropped off to 1.2%.  Church attendance in America has been dropping now for ten years. Will the church ever reform in America as long as the pastors tolerate secular, public education?  In a secular, post-Christian age, is it possible that we might be on the cusp of another sweeping revival or reformation?  This is the burden of pastors like Dr. George Grant and Mark...
