College Campuses: Where Have All the Men Gone?

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 23:25:07 +0000

Recent data tells a sad tale about gender disparity on College and University Campuses: women outnumber men 60% to 40%. The results demonstrate that men are not seeking out higher education. The biggest revolution taking place on college campuses is a gender revolution. What do these trends tell us about the Christian Church’s preparation of her young people for adulthood? On today’s program, Dr. Mohler notes the importance of raising young men to pursue godly adulthood: continuing education, getting married, and becoming productive members of society. Apart from a biblical response by the Church, there will increasingly be a significant gap in godly male leadership.

Life Planning for Toddlers? The Myth of Gifted Children

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 23:49:31 +0000

What makes gifted children special and unique, setting them apart from their peers? Jennifer Senior, writing for New York Magazine, has published a fascinating piece on the myth of gifted children. She asks the question, can the entire future of a child be determined by an exam they take as an infant? Her conclusions say far more about the controlling nature of some parents than about the gifts of their offspring. How should Christian parents engage with their children’s futures? On today’s program, Dr. Mohler discusses the importance of raising your children in the fear and admonition of the Lord, while trusting that God makes each child special and unique. Rather than doing everything we can to prepare kids for a perfect life, we should encourage our children towards success and godliness, knowing that God works all things together for the good of those who love him

Masculinity in a Spray Can? The Call for Men in Today’s Church

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 23:22:52 +0000

What is that makes a boy become a man? Is it the accoutrements he purchases or the people he associates with? While some external factors make a difference in rearing a young man, boys don’t become men by dousing themselves with strong smelling deodorant. The New York Times has recently published an article that explains the lengths teens go to in presenting themselves as men, when in actuality, their character displays nothing mature. The Church at large is bereft of men who will lead: take initiative, seek out problems, and do their best to fix them. On today’s program, Dr. Mohler addresses the nature of masculinity in the Church, where it should be and how to get there. Rather than reverting to a macho-centric, fight-club mentality, the Church must teach her young men to lead like her Savior does: with intentional, self-sacrifice, and aggressive love.

What to Do With Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell?

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 23:31:33 +0000

President Obama and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have recently come out and said that the controversial Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy should be repealed in the United States military. This specific topic causes both sides of the issue to argue their respective opinions with passion and conviction. Many feel that homosexuals should be allowed to serve their country openly, regardless of their sexual choices. Others feel very strongly that to allow openly homosexual people to serve in the United States military would only breed significant discord amongst the armed services. On today’s program, Dr. Mohler tackles this issue, noting both the significant problems with repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, while helping Christians to think through the effects of this policy.

Shepherding Orphans in Haiti

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 23:06:22 +0000

The whole world is watching a Baptist group from Idaho that tried to take a group of 33 Haitian orphans away from their homes in light of the recent earthquake. Certainly many Haitian children will be in desperate need of adoption in the coming months. But are the actions of these well intentioned people the right way to go about helping children from Haiti? Adoption is a wonderful and serious matter that should not be taken into lightly. As Dr. Moore and his guest, Jedd Medefind, note on today’s program, the Christian desire to help orphans in Haiti is a wonderful thing, however, it should not be entered into without thoughtful care. These circumstances serve as a serious reminder that the Church needs to rise up with faithful prayer and be genuinely concerned about orphans all over the world.

Mere Moral Opprobrium? Far More than Marriage is on Trial

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 23:20:34 +0000

Both sides in the federal trial over same-sex marriage have now rested, and the nation awaits the decision of U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker. Nevertheless, the judge’s decision will not put the matter to rest, no matter his ruling. Both sides have pledged, if they lose, to appeal his ruling all the way to the Supreme Court. To that, Michael Lindenberger of Time Magazine adds: “What’s equally clear now, after nearly three weeks of evidence, is that no matter what happens, the debate over gay marriage will never again be the same.” Indeed, the landscape is quickly changing, and fueling that change is the new American religion: secularism. On today’s show, Dr. Mohler examines the problems with the prosecution’s arguments in Proposition 8, calling to light the dangers of secular humanism as it replaces Christianity as the foundation of our society.

How to Honor a President

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 23:36:47 +0000

Recent political debates have caused many conservatives to question the integrity and decency of their politically officials. Fresh news emerges, headlines explode, and convictions that fuel political ideology divide candidates from those they are trying to serve. How can Christians honor politicians whom they disagree with and even disrespect? The scripture is clear: we are called to show honor to our governing officials. But how is that done when their character is not necessarily worthy of honor? On today’s program, Dr. Moore discuss civility in the public square with his guests, Drs. Peter Wood and Os Guinness. As they note on today’s program, Christians must be careful to honor those who have authority over them while also being honest and vocal about the biblical convictions they hold.

Men and the Economic Downturn

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 23:49:44 +0000

When a recession hits a nation, the effects are felt at all levels of society. Relationships, governments, and institutions are all subject to radical change. And no institution is more subject to being deeply affected by a recession than that of the family, and specifically the role of a father. How do men fight for their role as provider when the times are so economically difficult? On today’s program, Dr. Moore discusses the effects of a recession on the role of family’s provider, with his guests Michael Gerson and Brad Wilcox. Through the hard times and the easy, the role of provider displays the character of God to a culture ready to give up on those who are most in need.

Committed? Not By a Long Shot

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 23:15:21 +0000

Elizabeth Gilbert is once again a married woman, and she has written a rather lengthy memoir in order to explain why. In Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage, Gilbert explains her unexpected (and unconventional) road to marriage – and it is startling. From her view of marriage – a concept with which she has had to make “peace” – she finds marriage to be fully in keeping with her affirmation of “me-ness.” As her memoir displays, our society increasingly views marriage as one-sided and self-fulfilling. On today’s program, Dr. Mohler observes what Gilbert’s book indicates about how modern culture views marriage. Without understanding and experiencing the selfless love of Christ, truly understanding marriage is ultimately impossible.

Seen But Not Heard?

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 23:11:29 +0000

Whatever happened to being seen but not heard? Diana West asks that question in a recent essay, noting that there has been a massive shift in Western culture away from adult authority and toward the “wise child.” All around us are signs that authority and wisdom are now to be recognized in the young, rather than the old. This is nothing less than a reversal of what previous generations had believed and assumed. On today’s program, Dr. Mohler notes that the bible teaches that children are fallen and in need of wisdom from their parents. Adults should not be afraid to help their children by being exactly what they are called to be: good parents.

“Like the Air They Breathe” — The Online Life of Kids

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:21:37 +0000

New research reveals that children are always digitally on. The Kaiser Family Foundation has just released a new study on the online lives of children and teenagers, and the statistics are simply astounding. America’s children and teenagers are now spending an average of more than 7 1/2 hours a day involved in electronic media. How do families cope with constant access to media? What measures should be taken to guard children from constant access to the digital world? On today’s program, Dr. Mohler notes that the key to helping children through issues of digital access is good parenting. Parents must engage with their children and give them boundaries over access to the digital devices they have.

Is the Tide Turning? America and Abortion

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 23:10:43 +0000

The American mind is beginning to embrace the pro-life movement. With the advent of pictures from inside the womb, and very advanced ultra-sound technology, people are discovering a startling truth: the babies that grow inside the womb are actually people. Children are not an accident. The tide of this argument is definitely changing. Rather than focusing this conversation on what rights women have, many are now talking about the rights of the unborn child. As Dr. Mohler notes on today’s program, the moral compass in America has begun to turn in the right direction. Now actions must be taken to show that we believe what we know to be true.

Who’s in Charge Here? Parenting in A Postmodern Age

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 23:45:38 +0000

When children are always digitally on, parents face new challenges on how to discipline their children from social media. Who should run a household: parents or children? The question might seem obvious, but many parents are given to be friends with their children and are terrified of having to discipline them. How should your child’s involvement with social media shape the way you parent? While we need to love, bless and teach our children, there is nothing to suggest that disciplining a child is bad for them. To the contrary, as Dr. Mohler notes on today’s program, parents must take up the call to love children by shaping their character through godly discipline.

Are There Any Heroes Left?

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 23:07:29 +0000

Who were the heroes that captivated your attention as a child? Who did you want to grow up to be like? The Bible holds up heroes as very important for growth as a Christian. Reading about the great lives of the faith in the scriptures should call us forward to live lives of great faith. Someone must lead. Someone must call others towards faithfulness and help to show them the way. On today’s program, Dr. Mohler notes that heroes are not just those who do great feats of prominent bravery. Heroes are those who have outstanding character in all circumstances, whether the world is watching or not.

Does God Hate Haiti?

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 23:18:48 +0000

The horrific earthquake in Haiti this week has caused the entire world to stop in mournful awe over this terrible tragedy. This event has left many people wanting to know, when tragedy falls, where is God’s love? Is He sovereign over tragedy of this magnitude? On today’s program, Dr. Mohler notes the importance of trusting in the Lord’s goodness amidst suffering. Rather than asking the question of “why?,” Christians know that God is sovereign over all things and working even the worst of circumstances together for the good of those who love Him. In the aftermath of this tragedy, Christians need to stand up with the love of Christ and bless a nation in desperate need of the gospel.

Thinking Green — The New Religion

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 23:26:23 +0000

Does the modern age mean the end of faith? While some have argued that this is an age of total secularism, others argue that the times are far more religious than they may seem. The difference being that many people today have found ways of making their own religions. Not least of these is the cult of green: environmentalism. While the problem is not with protecting the environment, a good thing for Christians to care for, caring for the environment can very quickly become an idolatrous religion. In an age of many religions, Christians must be careful to guard their hearts and be faithful to the one true faith, once for all delivered to the saints.

Pornography and the Male Brain: What’s Really Going On?

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 04:00:03 +0000

Pornography has permeated our society at every level. From public mediums like periodicals and films, to personal mediums like computers and phones, there is no escaping constant access to this terrible and oppressive sin. While the conversation on limiting access is common and important, careful attention needs to be placed on the effects of pornography on the physical nature of the person. While this problem pertains to all people, it is particularly sensitive when addressing men’s sin struggles. On today’s program, Dr. Mohler speaks with scientist and author William M. Struthers, about his new book on the effects pornography on the male brain. Though this sin can have devastating consequences, the Lord Jesus Christ offers real hope and forgiveness to those who are seeking freedom.

Make Way for “Non-Human Persons?”

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 00:08:12 +0000

Are dogs, pigs and children all the same? Some would argue that animals should be defined as non-human persons, with the rights and privileges that all human persons share. Is this right? Understanding the many distinctives between people and animals is essential to understanding the meaning of persons being made in God’s image. At the core of this issue, the problem with calling animals ‘persons,’ is that they simply are not persons. As Dr. Mohler notes on today’s program, the Scripture teaches that human beings are distinct from animals in that we are made in the image of the Creator so that we may know him. To give animals the same rights that humans have is to give them privileges they are not designed to exercise.

Brit Hume, Tiger Woods and the Scandal of the Gospel

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 23:12:29 +0000

Brit Hume’s recent comments to Tiger Woods, calling him to repent of sin and turn to the Christian faith for genuine forgiveness, have caused quite a stir. Most of the commentary on Tiger Woods has come from the angle of his economic failings: what will Mr. Woods lose financially? How can he emerge from this scandal on top? In stark contrast, Brit Hume has addressed this issue at the root of the problem: Tiger Woods doesn’t need to come out on top – he needs to come out forgiven. Buddhism, the religion Mr. Woods claims to believe in, certainly does not offer this. As Mr. Hume has said and Dr. Mohler notes on today’s program, true forgiveness is only found in Christianity and the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. May Tiger Woods come to this knowledge and find true redemption.

Hindsight — The Most Newsworthy Events of 2009

The past year has brought both blessings and challenges that have seriously shaped the course of history. From the election of the first African-American President to notorious celebrity scandals, 2009 has been a year for the history books. As history unfolds, it is important for Christians to carefully watch and learn from the lessons provided. As Dr. Mohler notes on today’s program, the major events of the past help us to understand what will come in the future. We must watch and learn. There is nothing new under the sun.

Avatar: Rambo in Reverse

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 23:22:07 +0000

James Cameron’s new film, Avatar, is a stunning piece of visual art containing more than just dazzling special effects. Pantheism undergirds the script and guides the plot as the characters of this fantasy hunger for oneness with creation. On today’s program, guest host Dr. Russell Moore along with columnist Ross Douthat, analyze the message behind the movie and what it reveals about American culture. As they point out, people are hungry to believe the pantheistic worldview, as they seek for something to fill their heart’s desire for worship, which has been left empty by the fall and sin. Christians should learn from movies like Avatar that culture is not moving towards secularism. As this movie indicates, running from the truth only leaves people hungry to find cheap substitutes for the worship they were created to give.

Talking About Santa Claus: What To Teach the Kids?

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 23:03:44 +0000

Santa Claus has taken over the Christmas season. From a historical man giving gifts to needy children, to a jolly old man in a red suit, Christmas has become about far more than a babe in a manger. How should Christians talk about Santa Claus with their children? What is the best way to sensitively present truth to young hearts? On today’s program, Dr. Mohler discusses the importance of being honest with children while also being sensitive to the narrative behind Santa Claus. The blessing of good narrative can provide wonderful opportunities to teach important lessons to listening ears.

Where Does the Story of Christmas Begin?

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 23:07:36 +0000

How do you tell the Christmas story? What type of language do you use? Many Christians find the Christmas story most clearly explained through the gospel of Luke. But where does the story begin? On today’s program, Dr. Mohler notes that the Christmas story begins far before the incarnation two thousand years ago. While the particulars are found in Bethlehem, the story begins long before the manger scene. The bible is very clear that the Christmas story begins at the very beginning of time as God’s primary plan for redeeming a fallen world. That’s why getting the Christmas story right is so incredibly important. If we get it wrong, we’re not just missing Christmas; we can easily miss the gospel, too.

Whatever Happened to Shame?

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 23:05:42 +0000

People should be ashamed of how shame-less they are. Ellen Goodman of The Boston Globe has recently published an article on the absence of shame in America. The fuel for this article comes from The New York Post’s recent hiring of a notorious prostitute as a financial analyst. In light of this, Ellen Goodman writes her article asking a fair question: where has shame gone in society? As Dr. Mohler notes on today’s program, the deterioration of the doctrine of sin has led to a shameless society. No sin, no shame. As shame disappears from culture, so does any sense of moral consciousness.

The gospel is under attack in the Church today. Modern Christianity very quickly loses sight of the good news that creates the Church when the message is added to or unintentionally ignored. How can the Church be careful to keep the message of the gospel at the center of the Church? On today’s program, Dr. Mohler is joined by friends Mark Dever and C.J. Mahaney to discuss the importance of keeping the message of Christ crucified the center of Church life. Though these brothers come from different spiritual walks of life, their lives have been changed by the same message, bringing them together for the gospel.

Taking the Measure of Oral Roberts

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 23:03:14 +0000

The life of Oral Roberts has been widely followed and seriously influential in the Christian world. Many American Christian homes during the twentieth century were personally influenced by this pastor’s message of health, prosperity and healing. As Oral Roberts’ life comes to a close, the Church must look at his life and ask the question was his theology faithful? While many people did come to genuine faith through Oral Roberts’ ministry, it is important to exam whether or not his teaching was faithful to the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. On today’s program, Dr. Mohler notes the importance of Oral Roberts’ life and ministry, while also reminding the Church that we must be faithful and clear to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to broken and sinful people in need of saving news.

Guarding the Heart from Adultery: Killing Opportunity

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 22:58:16 +0000

Marriage is a definitive moral statement. Regardless of how confused Americans are about any number of ethical issues, people still understand that marriage is unique to two people and should not be broken. The recent fall of Tiger Woods supports this: no major commentator has come out in support of his actions. Research suggests that allowing opportunity and vulnerability is what causes people to sin. As Dr. Mohler notes on today’s program, the apostle Paul writes in the book of Romans that sin overtakes us when opportunity presents itself. Christians must be careful to set boundaries, guard their hearts and hold their actions accountable to other Christians.

Having the Talk: Educating Your Children About Sex

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 22:58:43 +0000

Parents are finding that their children know a startling amount of information about sex from a very young age. A recent study published by Pediatrics suggests that conversations about sex between parents and children needs to happen much sooner. By the time conversations happen, children have experienced far more sex talk than their parents would have ever imagined. How early should parents explain sex to their children? How detailed should they be? As Dr. Mohler notes on today’s program, this is not an unintentional conversation parents have at random with their children. This is a conversation that should be thought out and prepared with biblical wisdom and concern. Christian parents must be prepared to do far more than talk to their children about sex: they must teach about sex, marriage and God’s will for faithful relationships.

A Postmodern Spin on Religion: Pagan Christianity

The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life has published a report today that suggests many people who identify has Christians hold to very unchristian, even pagan, beliefs. The statistics are startling. Many people calling themselves Christians believe in things like reincarnation and astrology, and are unaware that these things are condemned by Scripture. On today’s program, Dr. Mohler notes the importance of the pastors’ role in proclaiming biblical truth to their congregations. The Scripture promises that Christians will naturally fill up their itching ears with false teaching. The Church must be careful to hold high the gospel and proclaim it with unashamed clarity. The clearer the teaching, the healthier the sheep will be.

Is America Really Pro-Choice?

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 23:14:31 +0000

New York magazine has recently published an article on abortion in America which may be the most important article to emerge on the topic in a very long time. Writing for the magazine, Jennifer Senior argues that the recent passage of the Stupak Amendment, by Democrats, proves that the climate for abortion in America is truly changing. This generation of voters is one that has grown up in the age of the ultrasound, knowing that the fetus inside the womb is absolutely human. On today’s program, Dr. Mohler discusses the changing of the American conscience in a pro-life direction. On an issue of such moral significance, Americans must eventually embrace truth: abortion is wrong and a baby’s life must be defended.

The Real Anglican Tragedy

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 23:05:22 +0000

American Episcopalians have again shown their theological liberalism by electing their second openly homosexual candidate for the office of assistant bishop of Los Angeles. Mary Glasspool, currently serving as a priest in Annapolis, MD will become the second openly homosexual bishop serving in the Episcopal Church USA. The Archbishop of the Anglican Communion, Rowan Williams, has said that this raises “serious questions” about the Anglican Communion as a whole. The trouble with the Archbishop’s opinion is that it lacks any theological conviction. Rowan Williams, and many others in both the Church and politics, fail to be clear on matters of truth: when scripture calls something wrong, we must be faithful to orient our convictions around scripture’s teaching. As Dr. Mohler notes on today’s show, Christians must be very careful to avoid massaging theological truth by denominational process and theological etiquette.

Is Living Together Really a Big Deal?

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 23:13:12 +0000

Is living together really such a big deal? In a post-modern culture, where people don’t really believe in the institution of marriage, is there any reason for couples to wait for the benefits of living together? As Dr. Mohler notes on today’s program, the Church must be careful to address the depth of people’s sin. The bible clearly calls sex before marriage and cohabitation wrong. The Church must be careful to address this issue, helping young couples quickly move towards marriage. Cohabitation thrives in a society where marriages are not honored and encouraged.

A Christian Response to Unemployment

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 22:57:52 +0000

One of the first things you find out about a person when you meet them is what they do. Our identity as people is so closely tied to the job that employs us. To lose that job can sometimes leave one feeling empty and lost. For the first time in American history, there may be more women than men in the United States labor force. How should we think through the issue of unemployment as Christians? How can Christians help their brothers and sisters who are struggling with finding work? Could it be that losing a job could provide one with more time for new gospel opportunities? As Dr. Mohler notes on today’s program, the Church should be prepared to help people find their strengths and get busy, doing things for the glory of God.

Age & Moral Responsibility

mail@albertmohler.com (Albert Mohler) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 23:01:43 +0000

Does age matter when dealing with moral accountability? Governments are often faced with deciding how society should punish both the young and the old for wrongs they have committed. The conversation becomes very difficult when dealing with the case of young children. Should young delinquents be penalized in the same way adults are for the sins they have committed? On today’s program, Dr. Mohler notes that sin is sin, no matter how old the person committing it is. The difficulty comes in deciding how judgment should be carried out against those who are weak and immature.
