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?..

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.

What is something that everyone has, that we are able to clearly see in others yet rarely in ourselves? This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview. If you answered “blind spots”, you are correct! No one in Scripture received more strong criticism from Jesus than the scribes and Pharisees, the religious leaders of His day, who were known for their external displays of religiosity rather than an authentic, inner devotion.

On March 22, Islamic terrorists exploded bombs at the Brussels, Belgium airport and train station, killing 32 people. In the ensuing days as the world was coming to grips with yet another mass-causality attack by Muslim terrorists, a recurring response pattern emerged from those with a humanistic worldview (man-based, non-biblical worldview) partially summarized in the following questions: Why are humanists as concerned, if not more concerned, about retributive “hate crimes” against Muslims than protecting the general public, who are the ones actually dying in these attacks?...

How would you answer the question, “Who am I?” This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview. Is your primary identity defined in terms of your job (“I’m a banker”), your family (“I’m a wife and mother”), your favorite pastime (“I’m a snow boarder”), or perhaps your former way of living (“I’m a recovering alcoholic”)? While these may be part of one’s identity, for the Christian, one’s identity should be grounded in “Who I am in Christ.”
