When the Recession Hits the Christian Home

Families everywhere are experiencing tremendous economic hardship and Christian families have not been immune to these difficulties. But how do Christian convictions on family, gender roles, and work intersect with economic strain? On today’s program guest host Russell Moore welcomes pastor and author Mark Chanski for a helpful discussion on how the economy affects Christian…

What Is Christian Economic Responsibility?

Are evangelical churches rightly understanding basic ideas of Christian economic responsibility? Only a day after the House of Representatives passed Pres. Obama’s $819 billion stimulus plan, guest host Russell Moore welcomes guests Marvin Olasky and Eric Sapp to the program. Olasky is provost of The King’s College and editor-in-chief of WORLD. Sapp, a founding partner…

Uncertain Economic Times and Booming Church Attendance

A recent story in the New York Times notes the surge in attendance in evangelical churches during times of economic uncertainty. On today’s program, Dr. Mohler asks what this trend suggests about how we operate as churches and how we conceive of our relationship to God.

Making Moral Sense of the Economic Crisis

The American economy continues to dominate the media coverage, and for good reason. But are Christians generally prepared to offer a distinctly biblical interpretation of the underlying questions swirling around in our conversations? On today’s program, Dr. Mohler discusses the moral questions at the heart of our economy.

Are We Promised Prosperity?

Now that the economic “bailout” plan has been passed by Congress, expect all parties involved to claim credit if it appears to work and deny blame if the crisis worsens.  Though the primary problem is a crisis in the credit markets and the financial sector, the entire economy feels the crunch.  The crisis now may lie in the awareness of uncertainty — and no one likes uncertainty when it comes to matters economic.

A Christian View of the Economic Crisis

The headlines tell the story as recent days have seen the American economy and its financial system buffeted by seismic failures and the virtual disappearance of major investment banks.  The debate raging in Washington these days concerns the form and extent of government intervention that will be required in order to restore stability to the financial markets.

A Christian Response to Uncertain Economic Times

The American overcrisis has overtaken the national consciousness from Wall Street to Main Street. On today’s program, Dr. Mohler considers the intersection of economics and the Christian worldview.

Is It Time for Universal Preschool?

Barack Obama has made his proposal for universal preschool a central plank in his campaign. However, in a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, Shikha Dalmia and Lisa Snell argue that proposals like Sen. Obama’s are not only economically problematic, but also pose a threat to the education of young children. On today’s program,…

Teaching Our Children the Value of Work

Writing in today’s edition of the Wall Street Journal, Tony Woodlief comments on the often confused messages our culture, including our churches, give about the meaning of work. We may not always realize it, but our children are forming their own attitudes on work, often by virtue of what they see and hear from us.

“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.
