JAMES TALARICO: THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO DEMOCRATS

Discussed by Dr. Alex McFarland
with Alex McFarland Ministries (www.alexmcfarland.com/)

There is a growing trend of progressive politicians and pastors blending left-wing policy goals with Christian language. In fact, Texas U.S. Senate candidate, James Talarico, has stated: “The Bible calls for Christians to finish the work of President Obama.” Wait…What?!?!

Today, Alex McFarland discusses this startling proclamation that is becoming all too common. Alex is a youth, religion, and culture expert. Alex is also the author of many books, which can be found here.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Is James Talarico blending left-wing policy goals with Christian language?

How should faithful Christians respond when someone claims that supporting progressive policy positions is essentially “doing the work of Jesus”? Alex encourages believers to speak out against the lies. (Romans 13:1-7 and the Ten Commandments)

What is the long-term risk to both the Church and the country?

What would our Founding Fathers think of the current direction America is headed? Book Reference: “Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World” by Eric Metaxas.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS EXPLAINED

Discussed by Pastor Brent Johnson
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 3

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS? DO YOU KNOW ENOUGH TO TELL OTHERS ABOUT THEM?

Pastor Brent Johnson concludes the special summer series for the Biblical Literacy Lesson at Champion Forest Baptist Church. The series has featured various Scripture passages that are familiar, but the presenter taught them in a brand-new light.

This week, Pastor Johnson reminds us of the purpose and meaning of the Ten Commandments through the hands of Moses, Jesus, and Paul.

Pastor Brent Johnson is the Senior Adult Pastor at Champion Forest Baptist Church.

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN THE HANDS OF MOSES

Pastor Brent spends this segment explaining each of the commandments in a new light.

What word did the Lord give Moses before he wrote the Ten Commandments?

Why should we understand the Ten Commandments?

Why won’t the Ten Commandments ever change? Must children still “honor” their parents? Must a wife still “submit” to her husband? Couldn’t God change them to “fit with the times”?

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, simply text the word JESUS to 77069 and a pastor or counselor from CFBC will call you back.
