NOTR - The Rise of Socialism in America - 2.11.16

Today's Show: THE RISE OF SOCIALISM IN AMERICA

Chris discusses the dramatic and somewhat shocking rise of Bernie Sanders as America's first "Democratic Socialist" running for president.  The media has been stunned at the large crowds Sanders has gotten, and the enthusiastic support -- especially from young people.  But where does this come from?  Is this the fruit of the Marxist agenda at work in our education system?  Also discussed is the support of the Jesuit Pope Francis for illegals coming across the Mexican border, along with the story of the pastors who declared "the favor of the Lord" on Hillary Clinton, and pronounced her to be the next president.

NOTR - Libertarianism & The Story of Jehu - 2.9.16

Today's Show: LIBERTARIANISM & THE STORY OF JEHU

In a special one hour program, Chris discusses the details and symbolism of the story of Jehu in the book of 2 Kings.   What lessons can we learn in our world today about the relationship between God and government as revealed through this Old Testament account?  Was Jehu justified in his actions?  Also discussed is a follow up on the issue of Libertarianism and its role in American politics.  History proves that the concept of liberty in early America was defined from a Christian perspective.  But how did it change in modern times?  And is there a difference between the concept of libertarianism during the Revolutionary era vs. the post World War II version of libertarianism that emerged through the 1960's and 70's?

NOTR - The Pope Apologizes to Protestants - 2.3.16

Today's Show: THE POPE APOLOGIZES TO PROTESTANTS

Chris discusses a series of apologies given by Pope Francis to the Protestant communities.  In particular, Francis offered an apology to the Waldensian Church -- that was persecuted for centuries by Rome, with a haunting massacre in 1655 that was immortalized in a poem by John Milton.  The current apology from the Pope stands in stark contrast to a previous apology given by Pope John Paul II in the year 2000, which was questioned by some.  What is the difference today?  And does such an apology amount to the possibility of ecumenical unity?  Or are the conflicting doctrines concerning the Gospel an impassible barrier between Evangelicals and Rome?

NOTR - Lincoln, Trump & Libertarianism - 2.2.16

Today's Show: LINCOLN, TRUMP & LIBERTARIANISM

Chris discusses several emails from listeners who have expressed concerns over the presidential campaign of Donald Trump and the massive support he has received from Evangelical Christians.  Is Trump the best choice for believers?  Is he sincere?  Some believe that a more libertarian candidate like Rand Paul is the better choice.  But what is Libertarianism?  And can it really work in our country today, with all the different groups competing for control over the U.S. Constitution?  Also discussed is a powerful warning from Abraham Lincoln that some believe applies to our nation today.

NOTR - Murdoch, Fox & Open Borders - 1.29.16

Today's Show: MURDOCH, FOX & OPEN BORDERS

Chris follows up on the controversy between Donald Trump and Fox News, since Trump announced that he would not appear in the Republican debate.  Breitbart News has uncovered an additional layer to the conflict, now discovering that Fox's owner, Rupert Murdoch (who has opposed Trump from the beginning) is an advocate for open borders.  Both Murdoch and Michael Bloomberg are responsible for an organization called Partnership for a New American Economy -- a group dedicated to the cause of granting legal status to illegal aliens who are currently living in the U.S.  Could this be the real reason behind all the friction between Trump and Fox News?

NOTR - Trump, Politics & Christianity - 1.27.16

Today's Show: TRUMP, POLITICS & CHRISTIANITY

Chris discusses some of the current controversies surrounding Donald Trump and his campaign to become president of the United States.  Why is the establishment (both Democrat and Republican) so opposed to him?  Also covered is the petition to have Trump banned from the United Kingdom because of his comments about a temporary ban on Muslims coming to the U.S.  The members of Parliament called Trump nearly every insulting name they could muster, including "idiot," "buffoon," and even a "wazzock" (?)  But all of this raises a most important question in the Church community: should Christians be involved in politics?
