#909: Week in Review: A Tale of Three Elections

[04:57] Iran’s New President Is Less Important Than He Seems Masoud Pezeshkian has replaced Ebrahiam Raisi as Iran’s president.

#902: Navigating Our Fake World (2023)

Fake news is not the only aspect of modern life that is fake. We look at evidence of deceit affecting politics, education, social media, food production and other arenas. Artificial intelligence is making it easier to cheat. What are some reasons for the increase in fakery? Climate activists say real meat hurts the environment, so food scientists are creating plant-based meat, and now, lab-grown meat. Is this fake food healthy? Canada’s military is in crisis.

The James Webb Space Telescope is en route to its place in the heavens a million miles from Earth. This is the most impressive effort ever made to understand the cosmos and learn the secrets of the universe and its Creator. NASA administrator Bill Nelson quoted Psalm 19: “The heavens declare the glory of God.” For centuries, scientists have studied creation to learn more about God. They viewed the natural world as evidence of the Creator, and the more we learn about it, the more we learn a...

#896: What Are Our Public Schools Teaching Our Children? (2019)

The radicalization of public-school curricula is affecting more and more children in America and many other nations. Educators are teaching the next generation leftist views that depict America as hate-filled and oppressive against people of color, and American history as genocidal. They are exalting wealth redistribution and socialism while condemning free markets. They are encouraging students to become environmental activists. They are teaching radical views about sexuality, normalizing...

#894: The Fool Says There Is No God (2019)

Science and education almost universally teach that there is no Creator. Man and the material world and universe simply came about by blind, arbitrary natural forces. On today’s program, we explore where such thinking leads us as a society. Without God, man is free to devise his own governments, his own social structures, his own ideas of right and wrong—his own morality. He is also free to follow the whims of his own imagination—to dream up his own utopia—and to do whatever he deems nece...

#891: Week in Review: What America Has Become

[00:37] ‘Jews Out’ Many highly educated young Americans are demonstrating, threatening a certain minority, attacking police, and invoking Nazi phrases to support Hamas terrorists (recent mass murderers and active rapists) and, perhaps more importantly to them, to advocate “Death to the Jews.” “Another ‘Summer of Love’?” “The Sickness in American Universities” [14:42] Testing, Testing When Islamist Iranian diplomacy, economics, strategy and terror are backed by an operational nuc...

#890: What’s Wrong With Our Universities? (2019)

[1:27] What’s Wrong With Our Universities America’s colleges and universities are increasingly becoming incubators of leftism. Students are being taught about the universality of white supremacy, racial injustice and other radical ideas. The fruits of this indoctrination are being exposed as terribly destructive. We look at several recent examples of students demanding curriculum changes to amplify racial grievances and erase whiteness. We look closely at events on The Evergreen Sta...

#888: Slavery Is a Modern Problem—Here Is the Solution (2018)

Today’s show is about slavery. It isn’t just an abominable relic of the past—it is a reality of today’s world. It is a scourge worth thinking about—because it affects millions of people in almost every country on Earth. The painful reality is that you might personally be contributing to the problem! You have to understand why it happens—where the demand is that these slave traffickers are supplying. You also need to know what God thinks about it—and develop His compassion for those suffer...

The James Webb Space Telescope is just starting scientific operations, and it is already revealing startling truths that are undermining science’s best guesses about the origins of the universe.

#884: The Battle of Britain (2018)

Today we’re going to look at an important episode in history, when the survival of Western civilization was under threat. In the summer of 1940, Germany was preparing to invade Britain by attacking Britain’s shipping capacity, pulverizing its coastal towns, crippling its Air Force, and demoralizing the British people. But the people of Britain would not be cowed. Led by Winston Churchill, they threw their hearts into the war effort and endured a punishing blitz on their capital city, Londo...

#882: Pride in Our Power, America’s History in the Philippines, the Virtue of Hard Work, and More (2018)

A recent poll shows that younger generations of Americans have less patriotism than their elders. Half of Americans age 14 to 37 believe the United States is sexist and racist—nearly half say that “America is more racist than other countries.” One in 5 Millennials believes the American flag is “a sign of intolerance and hatred.” What happens when a people has such a toxic view of itself? One episode of America’s history when it had pride in its power was its relationship with the Philippin...

#876: How to Have True Freedom (2019)

Today we talk about TRUE FREEDOM. It’s common today to think that freedom means being able to do whatever you want without consequences. But that is a false and very destructive idea that actually leads many, many people into slavery. God’s view of freedom is very different, and is illustrated by the biblical history of His freeing the ancient nation of Israel from slavery in Egypt. He used miracles to break them free from bondage, and then gave them His law, called “the perfect law of li...

#872: How Settled Is Climate Change Science?, Lessons From the Korean War, Experiencing a Nuclear Attack, and More (2017)

Donald Trump pulled America out of the Paris climate change agreement. Is this, as some people say, dooming Earth to climatic disaster? The scientific consensus on how much human activity is affecting the climate isn’t nearly as unanimous as people would have us believe. Evidence shows the governments pushing for environmental regulations have another agenda. Why is North Korea so anti-American? One source says that it’s at least partly because of the way America fought the Korean War back...

#865: January 16—God’s Miracle Day

Today we talk about January 16: God’s miracle day. God has emphasized this date over and again in recent decades. This date points back to a man who fulfilled a vital role in preparing for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ—a man who restored all things, and who preached the true gospel of the Kingdom of God to all nations as a witness.
