From Megacity to “Metacity” — The Shape of the Future

If the Christian church does not learn new modes of urban ministry, we will find ourselves on the outside looking in. The Gospel of Jesus Christ must call a new generation of committed Christians into these teeming cities. As these new numbers make clear, there really is no choice.

Good Friday Conversation with Michael Horton: Preaching the Cross in a Postmodern Age

A recent study reveals that while the rising generation is willing to identify vaguely with spirituality, it is hesitant to associate itself with any explicit truth claims.  How do Christians discuss the exclusive claims of the gospel in a postmodern world that is adverse to the very idea of truth?  On today’s show, Dr. Mohler discusses this topic with Dr. Michael Horton, Professor of…

An Interview with the Son of Hamas Mosab Hassan Yousef

Hailed as a “gripping account of terror, betrayal, political intrigue, and unthinkable choices,” the Son of Hamas is the story of Mosab Yousef’s journey from being born the son of one of Hamas’s founders to becoming a Christian.  Along the way, he served as an informant for Israel providing top-secret information for more than a…

Preachers Who Don’t Believe — The Scandal of Apostate Pastors

Are there clergy who don’t believe in God? That is the question posed by a new report that is certain to receive considerable attention — and rightly so. Few church members are likely to be disinterested in whether their pastor believes in God.

Unbelieving Pastors?

What should pastors do when they no longer hold the defining beliefs of their denominations?  That’s the question posed this week in the Washington Post’s “On Faith” discussion.  Unfortunately, it’s a question that reflects a common reality these days.  On today’s show, Dr. Mohler argues that the answer to this question is simple: leave.  While…

Glenn Beck, Social Justice, and the Limits of Public Discourse

Fox News broadcaster Glenn Beck is famous for launching verbal grenades, and he did so again in recent days, calling upon church members to flee congregations that promote social justice. His comments incited an immediate controversy, where far more heat than light has yet been evident. As expected, there is more to this story than meets the eye — or may reach the ear via the public conversation.

An Interview with Dr. John MacArthur

Having recently celebrated 40 years of ministry, Dr. John MacArthur has been a faithful expositor of God’s Word and shepherd of God’s people.   His ministry has benefitted many across the globe.  On today’s show, Dr. Mohler has the privilege of sitting down with Dr. MacArthur for a conversation and to take listeners’ calls.

Vanishing Christianity — A Lesson from the Presbyterians

“Liberal Protestantism, in its determined policy of accommodation with the secular world, has succeeded in making itself dispensable.” That was the judgment of Thomas C. Reeves in The Empty Church: The Suicide of Liberal Protestantism, published in 1996. Fast-forward another fourteen years and it becomes increasingly clear that liberal Protestantism continues its suicide — with even greater theological accommodations to the secular worldview.

Shepherding Orphans in Haiti

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…

“The Lady’s Not for Turning” — Margaret Thatcher and the Leadership of Conviction

Margaret Thatcher, one of the most significant leaders of the 20th century, died yesterday at age 87. A model of convictional leadership, Margaret Thatcher became almost universally known as Britain’s “Iron Lady.” In May 1979, Margaret Thatcher moved into No. 10 Downing Street and changed the course of British history. Beyond this, Lady Thatcher changed the terms of debate on both sides of the Atlantic and left a legacy of leadership that should inspire generations to come.

“And Them That Mourn” — Celebrating Christmas in the Face of Grief and Death

Families across the Christian world are gathering for Christmas even now, with caravans of cars and planeloads of passengers headed to hearth and home. Christmas comes once again, filled with the joy, expectation, and sentiment of the season. It is a time for children, who fill homes with energy, excitement, and sheer joy. And it is a time for the aged, who cherish Christmas memories drawn from decades of Christmas celebrations. Even in an age of mobility, families do their best to gather as extended clans, drawn by the call of Christmas.
