What did Jesus mean when He said that "one will be taken and one left" (Matthew 24:36–44)? Is this really describing the rapture, or have many Christians misunderstood the passage? In this episode, Pastor Brian Gunter examines Jesus' comparison to the days of Noah and argues that those who were "taken" were taken in judgment, while those who were "left" were preserved. He also explains why this section points to Christ's future Second Coming from a historic premillennial perspective, while challenging the popular Left Behind interpretation. Whether you agree or disagree, this passage deserves a careful reading of the text.

Is there evidence that a number of Christian political candidates (Republican mostly) and a number of the Christians who support them have, in Abraham Kuyper's words, "lost touch with Christ"? Would the Apostle Paul say to them, "Oh foolish Christians, who has bewitched you?" Today David looks at how our view of justification and sanctification affects our view of politics and what we think it can accomplish.

We imagine a streaming program to offer terrible advice and make mention of product ideas so gloriously vague that “Quattro Dog” exists. We swap stories about improvisation, audience engagement, and why the internet keeps rewarding people who commit completely to absurd ideas, especially if they happen to be named Burnt Peanut. We also compare memory techniques, laughing at how ridiculous mental images and emotional reactions often outperform serious study. We poke fun at “limited supply” marketing claims, question the habits of consumer culture, and discover that the same delight in the ridiculous connects bad advice, unforgettable names, and products nobody asked for but everyone wants to talk about.

What does it mean when Isaiah 49:23 calls kings "nursing fathers" to God's people? In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird examine one of the most debated passages in Christian political theology. Looking at Isaiah 49, Numbers 11, and the historic Reformed tradition, they explain why civil rulers are called to protect, nourish, and support the church—not as replacements for Christ or the church's spiritual authority, but as ministers of God for the good of His people.

This week’s episode of the Prison Pulpit begins with a deep dive into an article written by a Chinese pastor about his experiences answering two Chinese objections to Christianity: is it all about money? And is Christianity a foreign religion? He eventually boils down his response to one final thought: it's not whether Christ is Chinese, but that China belongs to Christ!

The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison.

In this episode, we explore why Scripture is the final authority for every area of life. The Bible is not a technical manual for politics, economics, or science, but it provides the authoritative framework for understanding them rightly. We discuss what the sufficiency of Scripture truly means, the conflict between God’s revelation and human autonomy, and the consequences of allowing culture to define ethics, family, education, law, sexuality, and identity. Christians must do more than add Bible verses to secular ideas. We are called to think Christianly, interpret all of life through God’s Word, and ask where the world is setting the terms instead of Scripture.

How should Christians respond to modern claims of apostleship, deliverance ministries, miraculous healings, and ongoing revelation? In the inaugural episode of Richard Reacts on the EM Network, Richard Henry watches and analyzes viral clips from Kathryn Krick's ministry, comparing her teachings and practices with Scripture. Examining passages such as Luke 8 and Acts 3, Richard explores what the Bible teaches about miracles, repentance, discernment, and the sufficiency of God's Word. Rather than reacting emotionally, this episode encourages believers to test every spirit (1 John 4:1) and evaluate every claim in light of Scripture. If you're interested in biblical discernment, Reformed theology, charismatic claims, cessationism, and the authority of Scripture, this episode is for you.

Does 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 really teach a secret pre-tribulation rapture? For generations, many Christians have viewed this passage as one of the clearest biblical proofs that the Church will be removed from the world before the Great Tribulation. But is that what Paul actually meant? In Episode 3 of Top 10 Most Controversial Verses: Eschatology Edition, Matt Plett examines the famous “caught up” passage and challenges one of modern evangelicalism’s most influential assumptions. Rather than describing believers escaping the earth, Paul may instead be portraying the public, victorious arrival of Christ and the resurrection of the dead. Exploring the meaning of “meeting the Lord in the air,” Roman historical background, resurrection themes, and the wider biblical context, this episode takes a fresh look at one of the most debated texts in Bible prophecy.

Is a new global government for artificial intelligence already taking shape? On today's episode of The Sentinel Report, Alex Newman exposes the launch of the new World AI Cooperation Organization—an international body created by 29 governments, including Communist China and Russia, to coordinate global AI governance. What does this mean for freedom, privacy, national sovereignty, and the future of humanity? Then, Secretary of State Marco Rubio reveals decades of Cuban communist infiltration and subversion inside the United States, shedding new light on how Havana helped fuel radical anti-American movements on U.S. soil. We'll also examine President Trump's latest legal victory protecting America's national parks from ideological activism—and what it signals in the broader battle over America's culture and institutions. Today's guests: Iesha Schreiner, TPUSA Rise leader and author of One Nation Under God: 250th Anniversary Devotional, discusses restoring biblical values, constitutional principles, and patriotism in the next generation while reaching communities long dominated by the Left.

Why does evangelism feel so difficult, and how can Christians grow in boldness when sharing the gospel? In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing explains that evangelism is not merely a method, personality type, or awkward religious duty, but the joyful proclamation of the good news that Jesus Christ reconciles sinners to God. Tracing God's missionary heart from Abraham to Israel, from the Gospels to the Great Commission, Cory encourages believers to trust the power of God's Word, pray for boldness, and begin with the lost people already around them.

Why do some biblical prophecies seem to be fulfilled in stages? In this episode of Shadows to Substance, Pastor George Sayour explains the biblical pattern of near and far fulfillment using roller coasters, waterslides, and whitewater kayaking. Looking at Tyre in Ezekiel 26, the Davidic covenant, Ezekiel's temple, and Isaiah's prophecy of the virgin birth, he shows how God's promises unfold across history—and why that should strengthen our confidence in Scripture.

This week the pugs discuss the theologically profound and philosophically astute nineteenth century fiction writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Interacting with key aspects of this Russian Christians challenging life and intense suffering, they place his writings and their profound engagement with the human condition, looking at the idolatrous and soul destroying paths on many modernist ideologies, and highlighting the riches of Christian wisdom and grace for truly transfiguring that broken human condition from despair and enslavement to genuine freedom in God’s life through Christ.

The question headlining today’s topic comes from Abraham Kuyper’s opening remarks at the First Christian Social Conference convened in the Netherlands in 1891. The news this week makes it clear that our nation is facing the same "social question" addressed by him at that conference: Is socialism or communism a better way to order our social relations in regard to material possessions? Today examines two options before us in light of one Republicans previously offered that failed to stem the rising movement toward socialism. What is the Christian's answer?

Which generation will be alive when Christ returns? In this episode, Pastor Brian Gunter continues his study of the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24:32–35, examining Jesus' teaching about the fig tree, "all these things," and the meaning of "this generation." From a Historic Premillennial perspective, Brian argues that while the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 provides important background, Jesus ultimately points forward to the future generation that will witness the events immediately preceding His visible Second Coming. Learn why this passage remains one of the most debated texts in biblical prophecy and how it calls believers to watch, endure, and remain faithful. Subscribe for more biblical teaching on eschatology, the kingdom of God, and the return of Christ.

Remember when summer meant going outside because your parents were tired of looking at you? Juan and John do. In this episode, they reminisce about growing up in Florida, where the official state sport is sweating through your clothes before breakfast. They recall marathon games of kickball, wiffle ball, and the kind of heat that would make today's weather apps issue a dramatic warning. Juan even shares the engineering marvel he and his brother invented: a blanket tent over an air-conditioning vent that transformed a double-wide trailer into what they believed was the North Pole. Along the way, they wonder when surviving the summer went from being a childhood pastime to a liability waiver. They also wander into the surprisingly passionate debate over air conditioning, including why much of Europe spent decades treating it like an unnecessary luxury—right up until the atmosphere apparently decided to become soup. It's a funny trip back to a time when the cure for being overheated was drinking from a garden hose and then heading right back outside.

Is religious pluralism a blessing to society, or does false worship harm the commonwealth? In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird examine the limits of religious pluralism, the difference between denominational diversity and false worship, and why religious neutrality in civil government is impossible. Drawing from Scripture, George Gillespie, Samuel Rutherford, Charles Hodge, and the historic Protestant tradition, they argue that false worship is never morally neutral and that civil government must ultimately be ordered according to God's moral law for the good of society. Topics include: Religious pluralism Christian nationalism False worship Church and state Protestant political theology Civil magistrates Religious liberty George Gillespie Samuel Rutherford

What is Reformed Christian politics, and how should Christians think about civil government, natural law, the magistrate, and the relationship between church and state? In this extended conversation, George Sayour sits down with Stephen Wolfe, Zachary Garris, and Sean McGowan to discuss their book, Reformed Christian Politics. Together they explore the historic Reformed understanding of civil government, the American revisions to the Westminster Confession, the Two Kingdoms debate, natural law, Sabbath legislation, the role of the magistrate, and how biblical principles should shape public life while maintaining the proper distinction between church and state. Whether you agree or disagree, this discussion offers an important look at one of the most significant conversations taking place in contemporary Reformed political theology. Topics include: Reformed Christian political theology Natural law and civil government The Westminster Confession and the American revisions Two Kingdoms theology The role of the civil magistrate Sabbath laws and public morality Church and state distinctions The future of Christian political thought https://www.berithpress.com/bookstore...

The gospel is deeply personal, but it is never merely private. Jesus did not come only to forgive individual sinners; He came announcing the kingdom of God and was enthroned as King over all creation. In this episode, Joe, Michael, and Nate explore what Scripture means by the kingdom of God, why Christ’s ascension and present reign matter, and how the gospel transforms every area of life—from personal holiness and family life to vocation, justice, worship, and public life. They also address common objections surrounding the already-and-not-yet nature of the kingdom, the continued brokenness of the world, and the difference between biblical confidence and triumphalism. The Christian life is not about waiting to escape the world. It is faithful service under the reigning Christ—building, discipling, teaching, planting, and reforming with confidence that obedience will bear fruit across generations.

What if the number 666 was never meant to be a mystery about the distant future?In this episode, Jay Rogers examines one of the most debated questions in biblical prophecy: Why does the famous 666 calculation work in Hebrew rather than Greek?By exploring the Jewish context of Revelation, the practice of gematria, and the linguistic world of the first-century church, this study uncovers why many scholars connect the number of the beast directly to Nero Caesar.Was John's audience expected to recognize a coded reference hidden in plain sight?Why would a book written to churches in the Roman world use a Hebrew calculation?And what does this reveal about the original purpose of Revelation?Topics covered:• The biblical meaning of 666• Gematria and ancient number symbolism• Nero Caesar and the "Neron Kaiser" calculation• Why Hebrew matters in Revelation• The Jewish background of the early church• The 616 manuscript variant• Historical context and first-century prophecyWhether you're studying Revelation, the Beast, Nero Caesar, biblical prophecy, or the debate over preterism, this episode explores the historical and linguistic evidence behind one of Scripture's most famous mysteries.

Did Daniel's famous 70th Week prophecy already find its fulfillment, or is there still a future seven-year tribulation to come? In this episode, we examine Daniel 9:24–27, one of the most debated passages in all of biblical prophecy. Rather than placing a 2,000-year gap between the 69th and 70th weeks, this study explores how Daniel's prophecy points to the coming of the Messiah, His atoning work, the end of the old covenant temple system, and the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. By examining the context of Daniel 9 alongside Matthew 24, Luke 21, and the broader biblical storyline, we ask whether the 70th Week has already been fulfilled—and why this question has shaped Christian eschatology for generations.

On this episode of The Sentinel Report, Alex Newman breaks down the day's biggest stories, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio's warning to the globalist International Criminal Court, new claims from the Trump administration about non-citizens on U.S. voter rolls, and what the Democratic Socialists of America's newly adopted platform reveals about the radical Left's long-term agenda. Then, Alex is joined by an outstanding lineup of guests: Laura Cervantes, a Texas mother suing her local school district over violations of parental rights. Brooks Gibbs, resilience educator and speaker, on concerns surrounding Scientology's takeover of public streets in Clearwater, Florida. Ieda and Adauto Denardi, Brazilian homeschooling parents, along with their attorney Isabelle Monteiro, after the couple was imprisoned for homeschooling their children. Pastor Paul Blair, former NFL player and founder of Liberty Pastors, on the crucial role pastors must play in restoring America's constitutional and biblical foundations. Don't miss this packed program covering the latest developments in politics, education, religious liberty, parental rights, and the battle for freedom in America and around the world.

How should Christians order their loves in a world that tells us every relationship and every responsibility deserves the same priority? In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing explores the historic Christian doctrine of ordo amoris—the right ordering of our loves. Beginning with wholehearted love for God, Scripture teaches that our responsibilities flow outward to our families, our churches, our neighbors, and ultimately to the nations. Rather than shrinking our compassion, rightly ordered love enables us to love others more faithfully, wisely, and biblically.

Where do Christians find safety as the world grows darker? In this episode of Shadows to Substance, Pastor George Sayour shows that Noah's Ark wasn't merely a vessel of salvation—it was a shadow pointing to Christ, His Church, and the Christian household. Tracing themes through Genesis, the Exodus, Lot's rescue, covenant families, and the New Testament, George reveals how God's pattern of refuge culminates in Christ. Discover why the Christian home is meant to be a place of grace, protection, discipleship, and hope in the midst of a fallen world.

Today's show is a flashback to nearly one year ago, in which I begin with a clip of John MacArthur accidentally sharing (10!) falsehoods about the millionaire missionary, William Borden, from a sermon back in 1988. Then, after explaining which details MacArthur got wrong, I give my broader reflections on the topic. Last, I include a talk on William Borden that I gave at the Collegiate Reformed Fellowship back in March of 2024 in Moscow, ID, telling the true story of the Millionaire Missionary, William Borden, along with my personal connection to his amazing story.

Did Jesus teach a post-tribulation rapture? In this episode, Pastor Brian Gunter examines Matthew 24:29–31, where Jesus says He gathers His elect "immediately after the tribulation." By comparing Scripture with Scripture—including Isaiah 13, Daniel 7, 1 Corinthians 15, 1 Thessalonians 4, 2 Thessalonians 2, and Revelation—Brian presents the historic premillennial understanding of Christ's return, the resurrection, the trumpet call, and the gathering of believers. Whether you hold to pre-tribulation, post-tribulation, amillennialism, or are still studying the issue, this episode carefully examines what Jesus Himself taught about the timing of His coming.

Today, David offers his final reflection on our nation’s 250th anniversary by taking a look at what happened to "created equal" on the way to the 21st Century. He uses the insights from two speeches given by Abraham Kuyper at the turn of the 19th century to explain the rise of socialist in our nation and to offer a corrective he believes the church must make if there are going to be another 250 years under our original written Constitution.

Did Christians really try to amend the U.S. Constitution to formally recognize Jesus Christ? In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird uncover the forgotten story of the National Reform Association and its 19th-century effort to acknowledge God, Jesus Christ, and the Bible within the Constitution. They explore how leading Presbyterians, Old Princeton theologians, and the Presbyterian General Assembly of 1864 understood civil government, religious liberty, and Christ's authority over the nations. Whether you agree or disagree with their conclusions, this remarkable chapter of American history raises important questions about Christianity's role in public life and what has been lost in our national memory.

In the opening episode of The Mission and Message of the Ezra Institute, Pastor Nate Wright is joined by Dr. Joe Boot and Dr. Michael Thiessen to explain why the Ezra Institute exists and why Christ’s lordship extends over every area of life. Originally recorded for Ezra’s new radio program in Atlanta, the conversation explores the false divide between the sacred and secular, the modern tendency to privatize Christianity, and the calling of believers to bring every thought, institution, and vocation under the authority of Jesus Christ. Where have we accepted the idea that Christ has nothing to say about a particular area of life?

Is Satan still ruling the world, or did Christ's death, resurrection, and ascension fundamentally change history? In this episode, Mike D'Virgilio explores the biblical case that Satan was bound at Christ's first coming, limiting his ability to deceive the nations and opening the way for the Great Commission to advance. Drawing from Revelation 20, John 12, Matthew 12, Luke 10, Genesis 12, and Matthew 28, this discussion argues that the gospel is about more than individual salvation—it's about Christ's present reign and His kingdom bringing blessing, redemption, and transformation to the nations.

I've got an extremely busy week down in Mobile, Alabama, and so I'm re-sharing the John MacArthur memorial podcast I did last July after he passed away.
