Here we summarize a basic worldview on war—the cause of war, the rules of warfare, assigning blame, and ways to avoid war. The best way to avoid war is Proverbs 16:7. When a man's ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. How might our leaders please the Lord?

Years ago, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris called for "natural selection to take its course." That was what they put on their website, and then they killed 13 innocent students and staff at Columbine High School in the Denver Metro area. One father still feels the pain of it. Brian Rohrbaugh recounts that terrible day that he lost his son to the shooters, and what he learned from it. How do the schools open the door for physical violence and soul violence?

Evangelicalism is coming apart on the question of repentance. Does following Jesus include leaving the world and the LGBT lifestyle? Does a sinner need to be repentant to be part of a church, or should the homosexual, the homosexual “married” guys, the pedophiles, and others feel comfortable joining the rest of the sinners sitting in the pews? Did Jesus draw lines or circles? What does the parent do when a young son or daughter comes “out of the closet?” Pray. Grieve. Call to repentance. Then, wait for the prodigal to come back home.  

Following the recent terrorist attack on Israel, we review the history of Palestinian wars. Worldwide, Islamic adherents grew by 700 million people in 23 years. Christian adherents flatlined since 2000. And Judaism dropped. The Islamic state is on the rise in the world. Iran. Afghanistan. Indonesia. Nigeria. Turkey. Palestine. Tensions with Iran are on the increase. Israel appears to be leaning secular. The West is "secularized." But which would you have? A "secular" state? A Jewish state? An Islamic state? Or a Christian state? Which Gospel would you prefer—the Gospel of Jihad or the Gospel of Jesus?

A recent survey discovered that Donald Trump used religious language much more than any other president in 100 years. And another survey found that Trump is considered the most religious candidate for president among Republicans. What gives? We compare Donald Trump with Grover Cleveland. And what is that which constitutes substantial faith—especially when contrasted with superficial religious phraseologies?

Another survey discovers that pastors at mainline Protestant churches are far more likely to identify as liberal than the congregants in the same churches. Too many young pastors are overwhelmed with the conflicts and the spiritual battles that go on in the churches. We recommend restoring discipleship and mentorship in the local churches instead of relying so heavily on large seminaries.

The government's endorsement of sexual perversion is increasingly leading to the government's endorsement of child sexual abuse. Phillip Zodhiates set out to help a child who, according to witnesses, was held by the state in a homosexual home, and abused. Now, the civil case against Phillip could very well establish precedent to normalize and legalize child sexual abuse. Phillip joins us here and lays out the control of the battle. Powerful forces are working hard to break through the final barriers to sexual perversion. The decriminalization of pedophilia is in the works, with the support of the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and Planned Parenthood International, and is gaining momentum in many countries.

Will conservative talk show hosts or pastors take the prophetic call to this generation? Tucker Carlson refers to abortion as human sacrifice, and ties in pagan cultures throughout history. Why has America reverted back to human sacrifice with such enthusiasm? And what are the differences between pagan cultures like the Carthaginians and our world today?

The worldwide faith tradeoff from North and West to South and East was laid out in the 2023 release of Gordon Conwell Seminary's Status of Global Christianity Report—a stark illustration of the collapse Western Christianity. Christian adherents in Europe and North America as a percentage of the world population dropped by more than half between 1900 and 2023 (from 21.9% to 10.5%), while the percentage of Christians in Asia, Africa, and South America increased from 6% to 21.9% of the world population. The two world people groups had exchanged positions over 123 years. The South ascended while the North declined. Meanwhile, Islam had increased its pull upon the world from 12% to 25% between 1900 and 2023, and atheists/agnostics increased from 0.2% to 11.1% over the same timeframe. We look at the reasons for the decline, and the critical need for reviving and reformation now.

Southern Baptist leading voice, Al Mohler, remarked recently that Andy Stanley has departed from the Christian faith. But what is it that constitutes abandoning the faith? What are the irreducible elements of the Christian faith? We can entertain intramural debates with the Christian churches and denominations, but there is a limit. Where is the line?
