Bereans,As the nation continues to swirl around the cesspool of moral depravity on its way down the drain, it's nice to get a little bit of good news for a change.  When Christians speak out and are able to rally their unbelieving neighbors to agree to put the brakes on the insanity, it is an example of the salt we are supposed to be in our world, preserving what is good and preventing further rot...  Read More

Bereans,In last week's Being A Berean, I included a video of Tucker Carlson exposing how the U.S. and Canadian governments are being weaponized to attack Christians.  In that video, he named and rebuked several "evangelical leaders" who have not called out these government abuses and have chosen to remain silent.  The same day I sent the blog post, a podcast was released from Conversations that Ma...  Read More

Bereans,My post will be short this week due to some unforeseen technical issues I've experienced today that put me way behind schedule. However, the video I've included has quite enough to say on its own, so I don't need to provide a lot of commentary. In this segment of Tucker Carlson Tonight he lists several examples of the government (U.S. and Canadian) being weaponized against Christians in a ...  Read More

Bereans,Man has been on a relentless search for longevity since the Fall. Despite God's declaration that all will die (Genesis 2:15-17; 3:17-19), men and women have desperately tried everything in our power to prolong life and avoid pain and suffering. This attempt is futile, because God's Word is irrevocable. The only cure for the curse of suffering and death is eternal life through Jesus Christ,...  Read More

Bereans,You may have heard news reports that a "revival" is occurring at Asbury University in Kentucky. According to reports, at the end of the student chapel service last Wednesday, students stayed in the chapel and spontaneously began singing and praying, then various people began speaking. This has continued nonstop for nine days, with people coming in from across the country, and even internat...  Read More

Bereans,As we have been studying in our Church History course, one of the chief ways liberal secularists have undermined the name and character of God in the minds of the public has been through their unflinching advocacy of evolution.  Man has always denied the existence of God and over the centuries has devised many ways to "explain" the creation apart from Him.  Some of these man-made explanati...  Read More

Bereans,In Ecclesiastes 3:4 we read that there is "a time to laugh," along with a time for all other expressions of human emotion.  One of the problems with unbelievers is that they take themselves too seriously.  Apart from God, men see themselves as altogether more important than they should.  We speak often of how the sinful mind sees man as too big and God as too small.  Yes, there are a host ...  Read More

Bereans,The second installment of my comments on the Sanctity of Life involves the satanic worldview that embraces and glorifies death and hates life. Specifically, there is increasing advocacy for human population control, with undertones of preventing the undesirable from reproducing.  This line of thinking insists that man is the earth's problem, so we need fewer people.  Of course, everything ...  Read More

Bereans,This Sunday is Sanctity of Life Sunday in the United States, which we recognize every year on the Sunday closest to the anniversary of the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion nationwide.  At the time, all fifty states had laws outlawing (or strictly regulating) abortion, both major political parties strongly opposed the practice, and public opinion was decidedly a...  Read More

Bereans,All ideas have consequences.  Foolish ideas have destructive consequences.  The willful embrace of foolishness by sinners leads to their own ruin and destruction (Prov. 1:22, 32).  The adherents of the climate change religion are bringing these biblical truths to light more than ever.  For example, I mentioned in our Church History course Sunday night that followers of the climate religion...  Read More

Bereans,One of the most discouraging things we see happening in evangelical Christianity is high profile leaders compromising in regard to sexual morality.  It is clear that the pressure from the world to conform to their views on sexuality is having a profoundly negative effect on evangelical leaders who are in the spotlight.  While we cannot know the hearts of others, it seems mighty suspicious ...  Read More

Bereans:I want to start the new year with a reminder of God's sovereignty and little bit of good news.  One of the most effective ways to dispel such things as fear, anxiety, depression, and other battles of the mind is to focus our thoughts on the attributes of God. When we turn our thoughts away from ourselves and onto the greatness of God, our problems and concerns diminish in comparison to Him...  Read More
