The Christian Worldview on the News will be our focus this week.
News Story 1: The Israeli Navy comes on board a flotilla of “humanitarian aid” ships headed for Hamas-controlled Gaza and a hand-to-hand skirmish ensues resulting in the deaths of nine activists. Why is world reaction immediate, vehement, and condemnatory against only Israel in this incident? We’ll hear from Joel Rosenberg on this.
News Story 2: Oil continues to spew out of the ocean floor in the Gulf of Mexico and wash up on the surrounding shores. Now, nearly 50 days into this ecological crisis, what should we expect our government to be doing to stop or clean up this mess? And what should Christians be doing? Cal Beisner from the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation will weigh in.
News Story 3: The Obama administration is pushing Congress to overturn the existing policy that does not allow homosexuals to openly serve in our military forces. On what basis should Christians oppose the impending repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy? U.S. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (MN, 6) and Ken Ham from Answers in Genesis will give us some insight.
As we discuss these news stories this weekend on The Christian Worldview, we will strive to live up to one of our mottos: to be “biblically correct, not politically correct”.
