#611: Among the Many Benefits of Biblical Literacy: Academic Achievement
The Western world is increasingly more and more hostile to the Bible. In America, liberal politicians are desperate to keep church and state separate—especially when it comes to teaching the Bible in schools. But taking the Bible out of schools actually lowers a student’s ability to understand important subjects like classic literature and history! We discuss this topic and more on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.
#610: Mike Pence Was Right About Not Dining Alone With Women
Earlier this year it was revealed that Vice President Mike Pence would not dine alone with another woman other than his wife. The left ridiculed Pence’s rule, calling it sexist, old-fashioned, impractical and unprofessional. Just a few months later, however, allegations of sexual misconduct against high-ranking individuals are hitting the news every day. Is it wrong to have a code of conduct like the vice president’s? The Bible says, “Abstain from all appearance of evil.” On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we discuss the need for, and importance of, biblical standards.
#609: Germany on the Brink
The government of Europe’s most powerful nation remains impotent. Coalition talks in Germany failed yesterday, and—for the first time in its postwar history—Germany is unable to form a government following a national election. These are difficult times for Germany. The German people want strong and stable leadership, and Europe needs a strong Germany. Where is this crisis leading? On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, Stephen Flurry and Richard Palmer discuss the significance of Germany’s failed coalition talks and what it means for the immediate future of Germany and Europe.
#608: The Ambition to Serve God
God says He calls the lowly of this world in order to confound the high and mighty. But God did not call people to remain in that lowly state! God expects His servants to be ambitious! On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we look at the examples of Herbert W. Armstrong and Winston Churchill for lessons on how to develop ambition.
#607: This Is What ‘Character Doesn’t Matter’ Looks Like
At the height of President Bill Clinton’s impeachment in the late 1990s, Americans felt that the morals of a leader didn’t matter so long as he or she had good policy. Twenty years after Clinton, we are seeing the fruits of the “character doesn’t matter” approach. History and Bible prophecy teach us that immorality leads to the collapse of nations. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we discuss why character matters from a nation’s leaders down to the people on the street.
#606: A Military Alliance That Will ‘Deeply Change’ the European Union’s Character
Factors like Brexit, the migration crisis, terror attacks, America’s isolationism and the rise of Russia are forcing European nations to unite militarily. This week, 23 of the European Union’s 28 members agreed to forge closer defense ties. The signed agreement means members must boost military spending or be kicked out of the group. This could be the groundwork for the rise of a united European military force. Bible prophecy says the rise of a European military is imminent. To learn more about how the Bible illuminates the important story behind these headlines, listen to today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.
#605: The Catastrophic Results of the Sexual Revolution
In the mid-20th century, the new morality surfaced and old rules regarding sexual conduct were tossed out the window. From Hollywood to academia to religion, morality was turned upside down. The ugly fruits of that movement are abundant today. The Daily Wire ran a headline this week titled “America Is Full of Deviants. Maybe We Really Shouldn’t Have Tossed Out Sexual Morality.” “Perhaps we should consider the possibility that the sexual revolution was a catastrophic failure,” it wrote. The downward plunge in morality is “a greater threat to humanity than the hydrogen bomb,” Herbert W. Armstrong wrote in 1964. On today’s program, we discuss the need for biblical morality and how it preserves nations.
#604: Gun-toting Pastors Aim to ‘Protect the Flock’
After the mass shooting at a small church in rural Texas, more people are packing guns alongside their Bibles. One Anglican preacher said he might even bring a gun to church as part of his responsibility to “protect the flock.” On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, Stephen Flurry discusses a pastor’s responsibility to protect the flock from spiritual attacks.
#602: The Coming Explosion in the Middle East
Tension in Lebanon is high as Saudi Arabia and Iran continue vying for control of the small nation. At the moment, Lebanon is a proxy battlefield between the Saudis and Iranians. Bible prophecy forecasts how this will play out and specifies which nations will be allied with Iran and which nations will oppose it. For more on the latest news in Lebanon and how it plays in to Bible prophecy, listen to today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.
