Will we make it as a nation? That depends on where we put our trust. And lately, it’s been pointed in the wrong direction.

Like many of you, I watched the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States. And like many of you, there was much I appreciated in the ceremonies and also things that concerned me. But what really caught my attention were the remarks of New Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. After painting... Read more

Welcome back to the Ask Pastor John podcast with John Piper. We begin a new week with a question from a young woman named Kate. “Dear Pastor John, thank you so much for all that your ministry has done for my faith and relationship with God. I can’t fully express how much your words have changed my walk with Christ forever.

Many of the stories you hear on the First Liberty Briefing come from the cases we are working on at First Liberty Institute. Others are drawn from the body of cases that we use to ply our religious liberty trade. But, many of the stories that we tell are drawn from Undeniable, our annual survey on religious hostility in America. Thank you for joining us for the First Liberty Briefing, an exclusive podcast where host Jeremy Dys—also First Liberty Senior... Read more

I’m Albert Mohler and this is The Briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. HOW SHOULD CHRISTIANS THINK BIBLICALLY ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP’S LATEST EXECUTIVE ORDER ON REFUGEES?

The nation’s policies on immigration and refugees were very much in question when the President of the United States last Friday signed executive orders changing the American policies on both of these crucial issues. Both of them, of course, not only highly charged, but highly controversial. When he was... Read more

Knowing about abstract objects is not only fascinating but crucial in understanding much of theology. Dr. Craig discusses what’s in his new book.

KEVIN HARRIS: I love the smell of a new car and the smell of a new book. Bill, you’ve got one: God Over All. DR. WILLIAM LANE CRAIG: Which is not a car! KEVIN HARRIS: It is not a car; it is a book. It is from Oxford Press. It is hot off the press, as well.... Read more

Get yourself ready for a massive dose of encouragement. As you are about to hear in this PODCAST, it’s amazing to me how a couple of significant storylines are coming full circle with Jesus’ words in John 15. Specifically, last week we saw how Jesus’ assertion, “I am the vine,” is the final of Jesus’ seven “I Am” statements recorded in the Gospel of John. Now, for this discussion, here’s a Bible Trivia Question for you: What was the very... Read more

“Hannah kept wailing even when Eli the priest mistook her for a drunk and questioned her sincerity. She simply set the record straight by telling him, ‘I have been praying here out of my great anguish and grief’” (1Samuel 1: 15-16).  

She didn’t care how she looked as she prayed.   God knew her heart… We know Hannah  for her sorrow… She longed for a son, but couldn’t have children. We know her for her faithfulness. She never gave... Read more

What is Reformation Day? To answer that question, let’s ask another question. When is Reformation Day? It’s October 31; it commemorates the events of October 31, 1517. On that day, Martin Luther, an Augustinian monk, nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany. Now, why would Luther do that? To answer this question, we need to introduce a few more characters. One of those characters was Albert of Brandenburg. Albert was not old enough to be a... Read more

According to the doctrines of nihilism, nothing at all is sacred. In fact, nothing really matters except that which gives momentary pleasure or excitement. Christianity, on the other hand, starts with a completely different premise. This world is God’s world, and everything we do matters. So what are the implications of these two views? Do ideas like these just float around in a person’s head, or do these beliefs shape us in ways we can’t even comprehend? The hosts... Read more
