WHAT’S ON WHAT’S UP TODAY:

“CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVISM”: GOOD OR BAD?

Should Christians be involved in politics?

Without Christianity, would Conservatism exist?

How can every day Christians make an impact to keep a Christian worldview within the Conservative movement?

PLUS: The Democrat Socialists of America seem to be everywhere in the news lately. Will these radical lefties be victorious and take over America?

Has the Democrat Party of John Kennedy and Jimmy Carter been overrun by America-haters?

We are urged to talk to our friends who are Democrats and explain what the DSA really believes. You just may change someone’s mind.

Mark Lanier continues in Romans. (This is a repeat from last week, due to sound quality.)

DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM AND BLACK AMERICA

Discussed by Craig DeLuz
with Project 21 (www.NationalCenter.org)

The Democrat Socialists of America seem to be everywhere in the news lately. Will these radical lefties be victorious and take over America?

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Has the Democrat Party of John Kennedy and Jimmy Carter been overrun by America-haters?

Who began this movement: the working-class poor or educated, ideologically committed activists who found a weakened party offering little resistance?

SIDE BAR: Has White Supremacy forced college students across the nation to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to obtain degrees that they will never, ever use?

Was the narrative that Capitalism doesn’t work pushed on the black community?

In countries where Socialism has been tried or is currently practiced, have the poor been lifted out of poverty?

What is the role of private ownership of property in building generational wealth? This is actually really important, so take a listen to Craig’s response!

What has been the results of LBJ’s Great Society?

What’s next for God-fearing, family-loving Conservatives? Craig urges us to talk to our friends who are Democrats and explain what the DSA really believes. You just may change someone’s mind.

with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 3

Pastor Jarrett Stephens began a new sermon series last week entitled: Pray Like Jesus.

In this series, everyone can learn something new about the prayer life of Jesus: his pattern of daily dependence, his prayers for others, his surrender in suffering, and his unwavering trust in the Father.

This week, Pastor Jarrett continues to break down The Lord’s Prayer with four more petitions from Jesus to his Father. He went over the first three last week, so if you missed one of those segments – check out the archives on our home page.

Scripture Passage: Matthew 6:9-13

Questions/Issues Discussed:

BIG PICTURE: The Greater the Revelation, the Greater the Accountability

How is the Church different today than the Church during the time of Christ?

Why were the followers of Jesus rejoicing? Why were they so pumped up? (Luke 10:17)

How did Jesus respond? (Luke 10:18-20)

Are spirit-led people thankful people? (Psalm 58:8-14; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
