How to be Holy in an Unholy World

Posted by npulpit on

Episode 359: The archdiocese of Chicago is being sued by a homosexual man who was fired from his position as music director when he made known his engagement (and subsequent marriage) to his male partner. These are but the birthpangs of the consequences of the legalization of homosexual marriage in America as the dissenting justices warned. How shall we live when surrounded by such immorality? Tune in as we allow the Bible to explain how to be holy in an unholy world.

Helping the Poor

Episode 354: You see them from the time to time on the side of the road. Usually they are armed with a sign which says something to the effect of “Anything will help. God Bless.” Sometimes they come up to you at the store asking for money. What do we do with these folks? I heard some pretty harsh solutions recently which I discuss as I consider the application of the Golden Rule to the poor.

How Starbucks Stole Christmas

Posted by npulpit on

Episode 349: “You’re a mean one…Starbucks?” Apparently Starbucks has become the new Grinch that stole Christmas since this year they have decided to abandon Christmas themed cups for straight red cups. And many conservative Christians are upset about it. They say it is yet another shot fired in the War on Christmas. But is it really? Is Christmas ruined because of Starbucks’ disposable cups? Tune in as I explore this contemporary issue from a Christian perspective.

Question of the Day: Should I, as a Christian, still go to Starbucks?

Tune in as I explain the flaws of the misplaced faith of these clergy members & why religion still matters in America.
