We are currently experiencing what some say is the worst financial crisis since the 1930’s. The largest guarantor of mortgages in America, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, were in such financial trouble that the U.S. government chose to bail them out by giving them a $200 billion loan. Days later, AIG, a large insurance company entered the same death spiral resulting in the government again stepping in to bail them out with an $85 billion loan. Read more

GUEST: Gary DeMar, The American Vision

There’s no doubt that elements of feminism — the humanistic belief that men and women can and should have identical roles in home, church, and state — has crept into the Christian realm and intends to stay.

For example: female teaching pastors and elders coming to an evangelical church near you; Christian homes with stay-at-home dads and off-at-work moms; and now for the first time in American history, a possible female vice president who happens to be a professing Christian and mother of three young children.

The last two weeks in politics were something to behold as the Democrats and Republicans each held their national conventions. Living here in Minnesota, I attended the Republican National Convention all four days and saw the speeches, the fundraisers, the media punditry. I will tell you all about it on the program this weekend and give some behind the scenes stories as well.

Perhaps the biggest story of all has been the sniping of vice presidential nominee, Governor Sarah Palin. “She doesn’t have enough experience to be a heartbeat away from the presidency.” “She shouldn’t be juggling a high-powered career with mothering five children, including a baby with Down Syndrome.” And from some Christian circles, “Should a woman be exercising leadership over men?“

Pass the hot potato! Tune in this weekend to The Christian Worldview as we discuss all this and more in our effort to be “biblically correct, not politically correct.”
