You love your pastor, but why won't he address crucial cultural, moral, or political issues from the pulpit? Is there anything that you or your church can do about it? Furthermore, what risks lie ahead for faithful pastors who do actually speak out against the culture and rightly stand up for the truth of God's Word? For this midweek podcast episode, pro-life advocate and political leader, Tony Perkins, returns to talk more about the need for Christians and pastors to engage in political issues, and to defend the biblical worldview in the public square. If your pastor or your church seems totally disengaged from the political world, how can you inspire a change of heart? Why do so many pastors choose to remain quiet on culturally taboo issues like the right to life and natural marriage? And what resources are available for those who want to lead the charge and equip people in the church on where the candidates and parties stand on the most important issues? Frank and Tony will discuss all of this and MUCH more in the conclusion of their talk on faith and politics! To view the entire VIDEO PODCAST be sure to join our CrossExamined private community.

It's Monday, January 9th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. By Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com) Brave Indonesian pastor teaching about Christ to students in Muslim country Located in the Muslim-majority country of Indonesia, Pastor Arib was told they could no longer meet in their church building to worship, which they had been doing for two years, but now had to meet in people's homes instead, reports International Christian Concern. Additionally, Pastor Arib saw that one of the local schools did not offer a course where students could learn about religions besides Islam. He volunteered to teach a Christian education course for free. Initially, the school principal disapproved of Christian religious lessons because the school was predominantly Muslim, but Arib insisted. Finally, the school board approved his request, and he now teaches his class every Friday. Because both his church and the school lack Bibles in their local Indonesian language, they requested and received 60 copies from International Christian Concern. Psalm 119:105 says, “Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. ” McCarthy becomes House Speaker, but on a short leash After 14 failed votes for House Speaker, Republican Congressman Kevin McCarthy of California was elected as the 55th House Speaker in the early hours of Saturday, January 7th by a vote of 216–212, reports The Epoch Times. But, thanks to 20 courageous conservatives, his coveted prize came with major strings attached. The key compromise is his willingness to agree to a rule change that allows just one Congressman to move to vacate the speaker's chair, giving McCarthy a fragile grip on power. That concession is found in subsection “q” of the new House rules package. Were this motion to be invoked, McCarthy would need a majority of 218 votes to remain as House speaker. Attorney Jenna Ellis, who represented the 2020 Trump campaign, tweeted, “This effectively neuters McCarthy.” Such a motion would be made via a so-called “privileged resolution,” which supersedes all other business except adjournment. In terms of McCarthy's House Speaker victory, while it normally takes 218 votes—a majority of the House—to become speaker, that threshold can be reduced if members are absent or merely vote present. It's precisely this maneuver that enabled McCarthy to cross the finish line, as six Republicans voted “present” instead of “yea” in the final vote. They include Reps. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Eli Crane (R-Ariz.), Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Bob Good (R-Va.), and Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.). Joker gets pregnant in new comic book In the latest comic featuring the Joker, he gets pregnant, reports ComicBook.com. To their shame. the executives at D.C.

Send a letter of complaint to Diane Nelson, President, DC Comics, 4000 Warner Blvd, Burbank, CA 91522. CVS & Walgreens will dispense abortion pill Following the Food and Drug Administration's decision to loosen abortion pill distribution regulations, America's top pharmacy chains CVS and Walgreens announced their plans to dispense the lethal drugs, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Last Tuesday, the FDA updated its website to reflect new guidelines on abortion pill access, which now allows retail pharmacies to carry mifepristone which, used alongside misoprostol, causes the deaths of unborn babies at early stages of development. Family Research Council Action writes, “Abortion-inducing drugs take the lives of unborn children and are much likelier to cause a negative health outcome for pregnant women than surgical abortions. Studies show these drugs include a 53% greater risk of a complication than after a surgical abortion. The last thing any of us should want is to see our local CVS or Walgreens become an abortion business! Pharmacies are places where we go for treatment for ailments, and to alleviate suffering, but CVS and Walgreens would turn them into places of death for the unborn and pain for women.” Join 20,000 concerned citizens and sign the FRC Action petition through our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Plus, to object more personally, call CVS President Karen Lynch at 1-401-765-1500. (Or you can write her at CVS Headquarters One CVS Dr. Woonsocket, RI 02895.) To express your dissatisfaction with Walgreens, call James Skinner, the CEO, at 1-847-914-2500.

The study found respondents were more likely to pray than to read the Bible. About 80% said they pray, and 39% said they read the Bible or a devotional. Those who attend church weekly were more likely to read the Bible during their devotional time (at 70%) than those who attend less frequently (at 52%). Psalm 88:13 says, “But I, O Lord, cry to You; in the morning my prayer comes before You.” Crocs promotes drag queen shows for kids And finally, Christians are tossing their Crocs. The leftist footwear company is sparking outrage for cosponsoring an upcoming RuPaul DragCon UK event, which is being advertised as open to anyone UNDER the age of 18. That's right – minors! Plus, Taylor Hansen tweeted that “it appears that Crocs is not only promoting children dressing in drag to perform for adults, but has fully subscribed to the woke mind virus. In their ads they promote drag queens, being ‘non-binary,' coming out as Queer, and [homosexual] Pride Month.” In the second Crocs ad, two homosexual actors rave about all their different styles of Crocs before they head to the baptism of a “mean gay baby.” In the third Crocs ad, a lesbian couple, who had a faux homosexual wedding, talk about announcing their sexual perversion and getting married. And, in the fourth Crocs ad, they feature a collage of all their previous ads celebrating unnatural desires. If you object to Crocs affirming homosexual behavior which is unhealthy and unbiblical as well as exposing impressionable children to sexually perverse drag queen shows, call Crocs at 1-866-306-3179.

Jim began with news that the White House announced this morning that President Biden checked positive for COVID-19. He's experiencing mild symptoms and is now taking Paxlovid. Jim encouraged listeners to pray for him.--Just after 5pm this past Monday, VCY America received an alert from the Family Research Council indicating that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was scheduling a vote on legislation to codify so-called same-sex marriage the following day.--In an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote in both houses of Congress, the Defense of Marriage Act was approved in 1996 and signed into law by then President Bill Clinton. But now, because of the SCOTUS decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, there's concern from the -left- that other measures they embrace might be overturned.--Pelosi acted very quickly to bring about this vote in the House. Within about 24 hours of its introduction, they passed it -known as HR8404- by a vote of 267-157. In the Senate, the legislation is known as S.4556.--HR8404 says, -It is to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and ensure respect for state regulation of marriage and for other purposes.- Actually, it appears to disrespect the state regulation of marriage. After all, if a state has a defense of marriage act in place, this law would negate that, saying that if any state allows for the marriage of two individuals, they must accept so-called same-sex marriage.--This program is highlighted by comments from a column by Todd Starnes, one from the Washington Stand, related headlines from Lifesite News, FRC Action and more, including Jim's listing of the 47 Republicans that joined Democrats to thumb their noses at the biblical definition of marriage.

Guest Peter S. Sprigg, Senior Fellow for Policy Studies at the Family Research Council, discusses the recent Values Voter Summit. For three days last month, Christians and social conservatives from around the country gathered in the nation's capital for the 11th Annual Values Voter Summit. Sponsored from the start by FRC Action, the legislative affiliate arm of the Family Research Council, the Summit provides a forum to help inform and mobilize citizens across America to preserve the bedrock values of traditional marriage, religious liberty, sanctity of life, and limited government. Other similar organizations also helped sponsor the event. This latest Summit was truly groundbreaking. For the first time in its history, a sitting president, Donald Trump, was in attendance. Other notable speakers included talk show host Laura Ingram, civil rights leader Dr. Alveda King, March for Life president Jeannie Mancini, Live Action's founder and president Lila Rose, and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, among others. There were a number of breakout sessions featuring panel discussions on a variety of issues. Discussions included what the religious liberty movement can learn from the pro life movement, transgender ideology in public schools, political and social engagement, and personal stories about fighting for religious freedom..
