The impact of the Reformation.  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
It’s been said that the Protestant Reformation not only altered the course of the Christian church but also the entirety of Western Civilization, including our American government and way of life.
How did an era that started 500 years ago in 1517 and lasted into the mid-1600s have that much impact?

TCW Minute: Foolish Sentiments Sink Presidents (Week of July 31, 2017)

2017-08-04T08:41:53-05:00Jul 31, 2017|Categories: The Christian Worldview Minute, Uncategorized|Tags: , , , |

Foolish sentiments sink presidents. This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

There have been too many careless words during President Trump’s first six months in office.

He has repeatedly criticized his own attorney general. He used Twitter to announce a ban on transgenders from the military. And he hired friend Anthony Scaramucci to be White House Communications Director, who then obscenely slandered members of Trump’s cabinet.

What do all these examples have in common? Ill-spoken […]

How to overcome depression and suicide?  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
This year America is headed toward a record 40,000 deaths by suicide.  It is the second leading cause of death for those aged 10-24. 
Unrepentant sin and unresolved conflict are what lead to depression, and depression is the path that leads to suicide.   But there is hope.  The Psalmist says, Why […]

TCW Minute: Counseling Considerations (Week of July 3, 2017)

People have problems, so who has truthful answers?  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
The counseling industry is mostly populated by secular psychologists and therapists who don’t utilize God’s Word.  In the Christian realm, many counselors view the Bible as helpful but not fully sufficient to address our problems. 
Here’s what the Bible says: God’s “divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and […]

TCW Minute: Totalitarian Tide (Week of June 26, 2017)

2017-06-29T21:04:26-05:00Jun 26, 2017|Categories: The Christian Worldview Minute, Worldview|

A totalitarian tide.  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
The dictionary defines totalitarian as “exercising control over the freedom, will, or thought of others.”
There has always been totalitarian control throughout history but not so much in the US … until recently.
Today, if anyone dares stand for what God’s Word says about sexuality, creationism, or the exclusivity of Jesus Christ, the […]

TCW Minute: Role Reviewal … Not Reversal (Week of June 19, 2017)

Family roles. This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

The mere mention of “roles” for husbands, wives, and children can cause hair to bristle.

And yet the rejecting of God-designed roles within the family is a major factor of why we are where we are as a society.

Husbands don’t exercise headship. Wives usurp authority. Children rebel against parents. And the inexorable result is that marriages and families descend into dysfunction.

God designed the best way. […]

TCW Minute: Beware of False Gospels (Week of June 12, 2017)

2017-06-16T16:05:43-05:00Jun 16, 2017|Categories: The Christian Worldview Minute|

Beware of false gospels. This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

Hank Hannegraaf is the well-known host of the The Bible Answer Man radio program. He was considered well within the evangelical realm until recently when he was chrismated into Eastern Orthodoxy.

So what’s the problem? Eastern Orthodoxy’s unbiblical doctrines, most significantly what the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America states on their website, that “Orthodox Christians throughout their lives receive salvation and renewal through […]

TCW Minute: An Unlikely Convert (Week of June 5, 2017)

There’s no bridge too far. This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

The Bible says the unbeliever is “dead in trespasses and sins” and thus every conversion to new life in Christ is a supernatural work of God.

And yet some conversions seem quite unlikely. Take Rosaria Butterfield. She was a lesbian academic, specializing in queer theory … and then she came to faith in Christ.

How did that happen? She shares her story in […]

TCW Minute: Trump’s Travels and Troubles (Week of May 29, 2017)

Trump’s travels and troubles. This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

President Trump’s first trip abroad projected his view that a muscular America leads to greater stability and prosperity in the world.

Meanwhile back home, the pitchforks of his political opponents are out, with allegations of wrongdoing with Russia. The “impeachment” word is already being tossed about.

We need to be praying for our President, that the truth will be made clear, whatever that may […]

TCW Minute: The Reformation and Justification (Week of May 22, 2017)

2017-05-22T21:49:55-05:00May 22, 2017|Categories: Christian History, The Christian Worldview Minute, Theology, Worldview|Tags: , , , |

The Reformation and Justification. This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

This year marks the 500th anniversary of the start of the Protestant Reformation, an era that reformed the Christian faith and changed the world. It began when Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses on the door at Wittenberg Castle church in Germany, protesting errant doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church.

Some Reformers were martyred for the biblical stance that justification is by faith […]
