Once again a multimillion-dollar campaign called “He Gets Us” aired an ad during the Super Bowl. The ad presented a slide show of people often at political odds washing one another’s feet. Well, usually it was the “conservative” washing the feet of the “liberal.” It ended with “Jesus didn’t preach hate. He washed feet.” What does the Bible saying about foot washing? What does the “He Gets Us” campaign get right in the ad and its website, and what may it get wrong? Could a campaign focused on disarming social issues lure people into becoming disciples of Jesus? Sources Cited: He Gets Us “Loving your neighbor is nearly impossible. How can we do it?“ “About Us“ “How did Jesus step

When a distressed woman wrote to Scottish Pastor Alistair Begg about how to handle her son’s “transgender wedding,” he counseled her to attend it and bring a wedding gift–as long as her son knows that she doesn’t affirm this unbiblical relationship. Over four months after Dr. Begg mentioned this in an interview the Christian sphere on the Internet exploded, calling him to repent. Begg doubled down that his advice was only specific to a difficult situation. The controversy has recently cost him radio networks and planned speaking engagements in conferences. While I strongly disagree with Begg’s advice and pray that he will reconsider, I also advise fellow Christians not to resort to “cancel culture.” As the Apostle Paul says, “Speak

So, the World Economic Forum (WEF) met again at their luxurious resort in the alpines at Davos, Switzerland. Their theme was “Rebuilding trust in the future.” In this episode we look briefly at how the WEF began and how their major agendas include promoting “stakeholder capitalism” and global cooperation in the “Fourth Industrial Revolution.” Next, we see three hypocrisies with the messages and lifestyles of the Davos elites: “rebuilding trust” using “escort services” environmental footprint Finally, the eccentric and intelligent new president of Argentina Javier Milei crashed the party by giving attendees and viewers a warning that the West is in danger and that the WEF’s agendas are a form of socialism and lead to poverty.

With the complaints about redacted documents leading to starting this new year with unsealing names in a Jeffrey Epstein case, Chelsea and I talk about the practice of redactions. A lot of sensitive information must be redacted for the public to access court filings without endangering innocent people. But, can people and entities with power go too far? Are we seeing a lot of excessive redactions to protect the guilty rather than the innocent? The Bible teaches about divine redactions for those who believe the gospel. The finally wicked, however, will face the greatest unsealing of information in history!

Charles Dickens’ timeless tale A Christmas Carol endures for good reason! Its lessons in redemption, charity, and “Christmas spirit” tug at the heartstrings with lighthearted bluster and a bit of spookiness. Chelsea and I look at some highlights of the life of Charles Dickens that inspired the social themes and characters in his fiction. We then see what elements of Christianity are in the original story that are lost in modern adaptations. Sources Referenced: A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens at Archive.org.

While we’re counting down the days until Christmas let’s reflect on the One Whom it’s all about with Isaiah 9:6. This verse is a wealth of splendor about the child who is born and given who will bear the kingdom on his shoulder forever. Let’s see what the phrase “mighty God” (el-gibbor) tells us about this promised ruler. We will see how the Jehovah’s Witnesses and how a Muslim try to explain away who the Messiah of Isaiah 9:6 is. Isaiah 10:21 gives us a clue to His identity!
