When Culture Hates You by Natasha Crain

As cultural hostility toward Christianity intensifies, many Christians have grown more reluctant to advocate for biblical values in the public square. But our perseverance for the common good—a good defined by God alone—is more important than ever in a culture that embraces darkness.

“Leadership” is the latest trend in the American evangelical church. Influential pastors such as Bill Hybels of Willow Creek in Chicago and Andy Stanley of North Point Ministries in Atlanta stage conferences that are simulcast to hundreds of churches across the country, reaching hundreds of thousands of people. In the case of the Global Leadership Summit hosted by Hybels, an unusual mix of speakers fills the lineup: from Bishop T.D. Jakes to Melinda Gates to various other “successful” businesspersons, entrepreneurs, and visionaries...

Are atheists deluded? The short answer is, yes. Or as Psalm 14 puts it, “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” In Ray Comfort’s new documentary film, The Atheist Delusion, he establishes that the overwhelming evidence for God is beyond a reasonable doubt. No one thinks a book is made without an author, so why would anyone conclude the vastly more complex instruction book of life—our DNA—does not have an intelligent author—God?...

Over the last half century, atheism, the belief that God doesn’t exist, along with its bedfellows naturalism and secularism, have become prominent in our society, especially in academia and science. So much so that atheists often criticize Christianity and Christians strongly and condescendingly, shaking the faith of some. But to be very clear, God’s Word states in Psalm 14, “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” Although no one can prove the existence or non-existence of God through observable and reproducible scientific testing...

Is there really a communist influence in America? Communism, and its bedfellows Marxism and socialism, are always characterized by a strong government that controls every area of life such as education, health care, environment, and even religion. Most Americans think that communism entered the dust bin of history with the break-up of the Soviet Union and is no longer a threat...

(Rebroadcast from April 16, 2016) Didn’t communism enter the dust bin of history with the break up of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s? Sure, the Communist Party may still hold political power in China but don’t they have a free-market economy now? And here in America, as victors of the Cold War and half a century past the communist “witch hunt” hearings, no one really believes communism has any influence in the land of the free and the home of capitalism, do they?...

Who is Hillary Clinton? This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview. Raised in a conservative home, Clinton’s political views began to move left when her Methodist youth minister introduced her to social justice and took her to hear Martin Luther King Jr. speak. She left the Republican Party in college, writing her senior thesis on leftist community organizer Saul Alinsky. Clinton is staunchly pro-abortion, pro-homosexual agenda, and socialistic, which Karl Marx described as, “From each according to his ability to each according to his need."...

America first came to know about Hillary Clinton in 1992 when her husband Bill Clinton was elected President of the United States. Now nearly 25 years later, which included eight years as First Lady, eight years in the U.S. Senate representing New York, and four years as Secretary of State under President Obama, Hillary Clinton is the Democrat Party’s nominee for President. Born and raised in a politically conservative family in Illinois, her political views began to change when her Methodist youth minister taught her about social justice and took her to hear Martin Luther King Jr. speak. She left the Republican Party for good during her time at Wellesley College...
