This past Wednesday was a monumental day in the history of the United States.  For the first time, a sitting President publicly declared his support for two people of the same sex “marrying” each other.  In other words, President Obama, who professes to be a Christian, openly rejected God and His Word by calling good what the Bible calls an “abomination” (Leviticus 18:22). Ironically, this news broke during the Minnesota Pastors for Marriage Conference (which I was attending) and one day after North Carolina became the 31st of 31 states to vote in favor of an amendment to the state constitution that will define marriage as a union between one man and one woman. What does President’s Obama coming out in favor of same-sex marriage mean for our country and the agenda of the homosexual movement?  What does it mean for Christians who will, with God’s help, not capitulate on God’s clear moral standards in Scripture?  Tune into The Christian Worldview this Saturday as we discuss this explosive issue.

One would expect the unbelieving world to swallow the unproven, unsupported, unobserved, non-reproducible Big Bang evolutionary theory that the universe is millions of years old. After all, “renown, peer-reviewed scientists” from prestigious universities say so. But the disappointing part is that more and more professing Christians and pastors are saying are saying so too. They contend that old earth evolutionary “science” is compatible with Scripture. This is known as “theistic evolution”. Ken Ham, president of Answers in Genesis, will join us this weekend to talk about theistic evolution and why Christians need to hold the line on what the Bible teaches -- that God created the heavens and the earth thousands of years ago and not millions.

Have you noticed how what’s acceptable in “Christian culture” has changed in our lifetimes? For example, it’s somewhat common nowadays to hear a professing Christians exclaim “This suc--!” or “That’s cra-”. Or, have you ever wondered how it became mainstream after centuries of congregational singing out of a hymn book for church services to now feature the world’s style of music complete with a rockin’ band, vocalists, and light effects? Or what about the sexual topics many Christians now deem acceptable to discuss in public or in church? Next week, the historically conservative Liberty University has invited Mark Driscoll, pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, to speak at their chapel and hold a conference on his recent book, Real Marriage, in which chapters graphically describe various sex acts to decide whether they are “biblical” within marriage. Whether it’s language, music, dress, sex, tattoos, or piercings, it’s undeniable that Christian culture has changed big-time in the last few decades. You could say it’s “coarsened”. This Saturday on the The Christian Worldview, we’ll discuss the coarsening of Christian culture and what should be our response.

And He [Jesus] said to him, 'Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise'" (Luke 23:42-43). - “And he [the criminal crucified next to Jesus] was saying, 'Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!' And He [Jesus] said to him, 'Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise'" (Luke 23:42-43). Jesus Christ was not crucified alone.  On either side of Him were two criminals (i.e. violent robbers) who were being crucified as well. Scripture says that the Roman soldiers, the religious Jewish leaders, and passers-by were mocking and hurling insults at Jesus as He was hanging on the cross ... and the two criminals being crucified with Jesus were doing so as well. And yet a short time later, Luke records in his gospel account that, suddenly and shockingly, one of the criminals made a complete about-face, rebuking the other one for mocking Jesus and asking Jesus to “remember me when You come in your kingdom.”  Jesus responded by assuring the condemned criminal that he would die “today” and then would spend eternity in “Paradise” (i.e. heaven). So what are we to make of this criminal’s “deathbed” conversion?  What does it teach us about God’s terms of salvation?  And what was it that changed the robber’s heart from mocking to believing? This Easter Weekend on The Christian Worldview, we will discuss the conversion of the criminal on the cross and what it means for you and me today.

Guest: Austin Duncan, pastor of college ministry at Grace Community Church, LA "Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6). On a typical Sunday morning for church-going families across America, Dad and Mom and their two teenage kids arrive at church at which point they all go their separate ways. Dad and Mom head over to their “POT” (Parents-of-Teens) class to have coffee, hear some teaching on raising kids, and socialize with others in their same period-of-life demographic. 16-year-old son, Johnny, immediately disappears downstairs to “The Bunker”, a tricked-out teen cave complete with billiards table, video game consoles, and elevated bandstand with microphones, amps, lighting, and all the trimmings where he will “hang out” with other high schoolers and the YP (Youth Pastor). 13-year-old daughter daughter, Susie, waves good-bye and heads upstairs to “The Attic” where all the other 6th, 7th, and 8th graders assemble every Sunday morning with games and skits and short lessons about being a “tweener”. It’s anyone’s guess whether the family will reconvene to attend the main worship service together, but if not, they will “meet by Door 2 at noon” to head home. It is said that “Sunday morning is the most racially segregated time in America” but has it also become the most age segregated as well?  Austin Duncan, pastor of college ministry at Grace Community Church in Los Angeles, will join us to talk about the pros and cons of age segregation at church and the growing movement called the “Family Integrated Church (FIC)”.

Earlier this month, born-again Christian actor Kirk Cameron was interviewed (perhaps “ambushed” is a better word) by Piers Morgan on CNN. The interview was purportedly about Cameron’s upcoming documentary film (“Monumental”) on the Christian foundations of America, but the subject of the film was not what sparked worldwide controversy. It was Kirk Cameron’s response to Piers Morgan’s questions about homosexuality.
