TCW Minute: Abiding Hope in Suffering (Week of Feb. 27, 2017)

2017-03-02T22:12:36-06:00Feb 27, 2017|Categories: The Christian Worldview Minute|

How to get through our deepest, darkest trials?  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

There are trials in life … and then there are super-trials, ones that leave us wondering, “How can I endure this?  Will it collapse my faith in God?”

An abducted child.  Stage four cancer.  A brutal divorce or death of a loved one.

Our deepest suffering is where God does His greatest work, as we trust in the promises of […]

TCW Minute: What is the Story of Realty? (Week of Feb. 13, 2017)

2017-02-16T20:46:34-06:00Feb 13, 2017|Categories: The Christian Worldview Minute|

What is the story of reality?  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

For truth to be truthful, it must match reality.  The Bible helps us understand reality by answering four categories of questions that all religions or worldviews seek to answer:

Creation: Where did we come from?
Fall: What has gone wrong?
Redemption: What is the solution?
Restoration: Where will everything end up?

The biblical worldview is based on the reality that God is the Creator, that […]

TCW Minute: Refugee Vetting (Week of Feb. 6, 2017)

2017-02-07T20:18:09-06:00Feb 06, 2017|Categories: The Christian Worldview Minute|

What to think of the refugee controversy.  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

President Trump issued an executive order to temporarily suspend refugees coming from seven Muslim-majority countries while the vetting process is examined.  The order has resulted in protests and cries of discrimination.

Christians need to walk a very fine line here of loving strangers (refugees) but also loving our neighbors (fellow citizens).

If we are willing to altruistically overlook the bloodshed that […]

TCW Minute: A New President (Week of Jan. 23, 2017)

Trump in, Obama out.  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

Donald Trump was just sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, and his presidency promises to be very different than his predecessor.

President Obama’s worldview was that of a secular humanist, one based on human reasoning rather than God’s Word.  Big government, globalism, environmentalism, and homosexual advocacy are his legacy.

Donald Trump’s inaugural speech reaffirmed that he a nationalist, bent on […]

TCW Minute: The Dubious UN Resolution Against Israel (Week of Jan. 16, 2017)

2017-01-16T20:16:43-06:00Jan 16, 2017|Categories: The Christian Worldview Minute|Tags: , , , |

Why is the recent UN resolution against Israel significant?  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

The UN Security Council recently passed a resolution declaring the building of, what they term “Israeli settlements in Palestinian occupied territories” to be illegal.

The US had the power to veto the resolution but chose to abstain from voting.  And yet Israel says they have proof the Obama administration was the catalyst in crafting the resolution.  What’s going […]

TCW Minute: Making and Keeping Resolutions (Week of Jan. 9, 2017)

2017-01-12T09:29:13-06:00Jan 12, 2017|Categories: The Christian Worldview Minute|

It’s a new year—so what about making resolutions?  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

The Bible is full of imperatives—do this, don’t do that.  So resolving to do something for God’s glory, pursued with His strength, is not only good but commanded.

The Bible says in Philippians 2:12-13: Work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for […]

TCW Minute: One Perfect Life (Week of Jan. 2, 2017)

2017-01-06T11:13:58-06:00Jan 02, 2017|Categories: Christian Living, Jesus Christ, The Christian Worldview Minute|

What is God’s solution to man’s biggest problem?  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

Jesus Christ is the only person who has ever lived a perfect life.  His every thought, word, and deed were perfectly pleasing to God.

The rest of us can’t fathom this perfection, as we all are afflicted with sin in and around us.

But the good news from Scripture is: “[God] made [Christ] who knew no sin to be sin […]

TCW Minute: War on Christmas (Week of Dec. 26, 2016)

2016-12-29T22:06:24-06:00Dec 26, 2016|Categories: Christian Living, Jesus Christ, The Christian Worldview Minute|

Who will win the Christmas war?  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

At this time of year, we hear about the “war on Christmas”—nativity scenes banned from public spaces, atheists putting up billboards against Christmas, and employees pressured to say “happy holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas.”

There may be a war on Christmas, but did you know that Christ’s birth was a declaration of war by God that ultimately results in victory over sin, […]

TCW Minute: Cradle to Cross (Week of Dec. 19, 2016)

2016-12-22T18:30:46-06:00Dec 22, 2016|Categories: The Christian Worldview Minute|

How does Christ’s cradle relate to His cross?  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

The Christmas carol that starts: What child is this, who, laid to rest, On Mary’s lap is sleeping?

goes on to say: Nails, spears shall pierce him through, the cross he bore for me, for you.

Jesus was born to die.  To abbreviate Hebrews 2:7, Jesus had to be made like His brethren in all things … to make propitiation […]

TCW Minute: How Do We Pursue Sanctification? (Week of Dec. 12, 2016)

2016-12-16T10:54:12-06:00Dec 12, 2016|Categories: The Christian Worldview Minute|Tags: , , |

How does a Christian pursue sanctification?  This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.

Sanctification means being set apart for God or holiness.  In Scripture, God is described as “holy, holy, holy” and believers are called to “be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:14-16

But how?  The pursuit of sanctification is more than just doing what is right and […]
