Are Parents Surrendering Control?

An 8-year-old yells at his father trying to make him put his coat on, calling him a “control-freak.”  The New York Times cover story from May 23, 2010, “Every Hug, Every Fuss” documents this conversation recorded by researchers from the UCLA, who have been following 32 families for 3 years, videotaping every move.  The dual-earner,…

An Interview with Ligon Duncan

In an age that is characterized by an anti-doctrinal, anti-theological spirit, it is rare for individuals to even have serious theological conversations, much less to maintain unity in the midst of real differences.  Together for the Gospel is a demonstration that such relationships can and do exist.  On today’s show, Dr. Mohler sits down for…

The Unadjusted Gospel

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….

Not Even Close? — Is America Becoming a Post-Christian Culture?

Newsweek magazine’s cover story, “The Decline and Fall of Christian America” continues to evoke controversy and conversation, and much of it is illuminating. Now, Stephen Prothero of Boston University enters the fray with an incisive commentary that throws a few punches.

As Dr. Mohler notes on today’s program, Prothero asserts in today’s edition of USA Today…

The Challenge of Christian Ministry

In a special broadcast from the 2009 Shepherds’ Conference, Dr. Mohler welcomes pastor and author John MacArthur to the program for a conversation about a variety of issues related to Christian theology and the life of the local church.

Why Christian Institutions Are So Easily Lost

Why do Christians lose their institutions? American history is full of institutions and organizations founded on orthodox Christian conviction that eventually abandoned their ideological and theological origins. On today’s program, Dr. Mohler notes how a recent visit to Harvard University’s Divinity Hall raised this question again.

David Wells on The Courage to Be Protestant

David Wells has been one of the most astute critics of what ails contemporary evangelicalism. His most recent book, The Courage to Be Protestant, is a summation of his previous four-volume series and offers evangelicals not only a somber picture of their current condition, but also a hopeful prescription for what might correct their course….

Over 5,000 pastors and seminarians gathered this week in Louisville for the biennial Together for the Gospel conference. With the end of T4G ‘08, Dr. Mohler, Mark Dever, Ligon Duncan, and C.J. Mahaney sat down to reflect on how God is using the conference and what it says about the state of American evangelicalism

A Look at “The Shack”

Almost out of nowhere, William P. Young’s The Shack has stormed to the top of the bestseller list in Christian fiction. On today’s program, Dr. Mohler gives an extended analysis of the book and makes note of its serious, even dangerous, theological deficiencies.

Jeremiah Wright, African-American Theology, and the Church

However, very few have paused to consider the theological currents underneath the surface. On today’s show, Dr. Mohler welcomes Eric Redmond, pastor of Hillcrest Baptist Church in Temple Hills, MD, for…

Learning from Christopher Hitchens: Lessons Evangelicals Must Not Miss

The death of Christopher Hitchens on December 15 was not unexpected, and that seemed only to add to the tragedy.  His fight against cancer had been lived, like almost every other aspect of his colorful life, in full public view. He had told numerous interviewers that he wanted to die in an active, not a passive sense. Then again, there may never have been a truly passive moment in Christopher Hitchens’ life.

President Obama and Same-Sex Marriage — The Dance Continues

Some predictions are rather safe to make. 2012 is almost certain to be a determinative year on the issue of same-sex marriage. Multiple courts appear poised to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act [DOMA] and, even more urgently, the appeal on California’s Proposition 8 at the Ninth Circuit U. S. Court of Appeals will set up a certain appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court. Given the facts of this case and the significance of the nation’s most populous state, the Supreme Court is almost certain to take the case. This sets the stage for the courts to make some determinative statement on same-sex marriage within the next several months — a decision that will go a long way toward setting the direction of the larger culture.
