Judges 19 tells one of the darkest stories in Israel's history, showing the collapse of morality when people reject God's authority. The sin of Gibeah mirrors Sodom and Gomorrah, with rampant homosexuality, violence, and the abuse of hospitality. This passage shows how corruption spreads from priests to homes to government, leaving a nation without a moral compass. The warning is clear for today: when family breaks down, conscience is ignored, and sexual sin is normalized, society crumbles. Yet the message of hope remains—through Christ, even those bound by sin can be washed, sanctified, and made new.

In today's Sunday message from Pastor Robert Schuller we discover from Acts 15 that the early church wrestled with grace and works. They asked several questions about how these ideologies work. If we are saved by faith does the grace of God give us a license to do whatever we want? Or do we have to live a certain way to inherit the forgiveness of God and find salvation? We talk about these things.

She describes her July 3 naturalization ceremony, the emotional oath of allegiance, and why she has dreamed of America since childhood. Agustina explains how growing up in Argentina shaped her views on freedom, individualism, and government, and why she believes America's founding values are still worth defending. This conversation offers a unique immigrant perspective on citizenship, immigration policy, and what makes the United States different. https://youtu.be/9aaLDBkw6B0 Despite anti-immigrant narratives, Americans still embrace immigrants - https://www.ocregister.com/2025/07/28/despite-anti-immigrant-narratives-americans-still-embrace-immigrants/?share=niagim2rshrngirsieop The Immorality of the U.S. Immigration System - https://youtu.be/1VOzKYDDkow Immigration Enforcement and the Betrayal of Due Process - https://youtu.be/mkOadbwUP5s Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textArnie, Eric, Fred and Glenn continue their discussion about immorality and what the Bible says about it. We begin by looking at what Jude said about the wicked Biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah whose people were engaged in immorality. Peter had even more to say about them and we look at what he said. Sodom and Gomorrah stand as the prime example of immoral behavior and how God looks at it. Eric looks at what Paul says about marriage and how that God-given institution avoids sexual immorality. We discuss several sections of scripture where Paul discusses unrighteousness that has not been forgiven by God that includes sexual immorality and how God condemns this activity. Throughout this episode, we note that in our day there continues to be a lot of immorality engaged in, which indicates that not much has changed since the activities recorded in the Bible. Take about 30-minutes to listen to our discussions. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying. There is a transcript of this Buzzsprout episode provided for your convenience.

In this sermon on Ephesians 5:1-7, we explored what it means to "walk in love" as followers of Jesus. The passage calls us to imitate God, not just in public or on Sundays, but in the everyday realities of marriage, parenting, and work—where our true character is revealed. We discussed how being a child of God means having His DNA, and that our lives should reflect Christ's love in both our actions and our words. The sermon challenged cultural ideas about love and sexuality, emphasizing that true love is selfless, disciplined, and rooted in God's design. We also examined the dangers of sexual immorality and careless speech, and the consequences these have on our lives and our inheritance in God's kingdom. Ultimately, we were reminded that God's wrath is not the opposite of His love, but rather His passionate response to anything that harms what He loves. Our call is to walk in love, following the example of Christ who gave Himself up for us.
Do you think a baby can tell good and bad behaviours apart? And if they can, do you think they would have a preference between moral and immoral beaviours? We have some insight. A new study from a Sicilian hospital looked into exactly that, and one of the leads on the study is UBC professor Kiley Hamlin. She joins us to give us a peek into a newborn's mind.

A story about an idolater who works for a Jew -- and works on Shabbat, when the Jew cannot. Was that allowed? It depends on whether that was their original agreement. And the comparable question regarding a tree where the fruit is orlah. Plus, moving on to chapter 2, with a new mishnah - on the measure of negative relationships between Jews and non-Jews, where the Jews are not permitted to stable their animals at the inns of non-Jews/idolaters, because of the concern of bestiality. Note the focus on pagans/idolaters, not non-Jews pere se. Also, a tosefta contradicts the mishnah, in not being concerned about bestiality or even idolatry per se. Plus, the claim that bestiality would make female animals barren, and male animals weak. Plus, a widow cannot have a dog as a pet.

Intro:Good morning! We're diving into Proverbs chapter five today, as Glenn Power teaches. We'll confront a challenging, yet crucial, theme: the warnings about immorality and lust. While intense, these warnings and God's positive vision for sexuality are vital medicine for our souls in our "Summer of Wisdom" series.Scripture References: Proverbs 5:1-14, Proverbs 5:15-20, Proverbs 7:26, Proverbs 16:6, Matthew 5:27-29, John 4, 2 Samuel 11, Romans 5, 2 Peter 1Key Points:Proverbs' Urgent Warnings:Chapters 5-7 are almost entirely dedicated to warnings against immorality and lust.This feels like a "fear tactic" to modern ears, but Proverbs is not embarrassed to warn. It's the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 16:6), avoiding evil by understanding sin's devastating consequences.Jesus amplifies this: "If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out... better to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell" (Matthew 5:27-29). He goes to the heart, where lust begins.A Positive Vision for Sexuality:Proverbs also gives a positive vision for sex within marriage. Proverbs 5:15-20 graphically depicts the joy and pleasure of marital intimacy.God created sex as a beautiful gift within the marriage covenant.We need to move beyond shame; the problem isn't being "too sexual," but often not experiencing sexual fulfillment in God's intended way.The "Immoral Woman" in Modern Context:Proverbs' "immoral woman" represents a spirit of temptation (a profile of darkness) that pulls both men and women astray.Today, this "immoral woman" takes many forms, notably pornography, which statistics show is a pervasive struggle even among Christians and leaders. Proverbs 7:26: "Many are the victims she has brought down; her slain are a mighty throng."The Path to Freedom:Run to God, not from God, even in failure. Romans 5:8: "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." God doesn't shame; He washes and loves.Embrace a Kingdom Gospel powerful enough to set you free. God gives us "everything we need for a godly life" (2 Peter 1:3). Don't settle for addiction.Overcome lust through daily connection with the Spirit: Prayer, Word study, fasting.Overcome lust through divine purpose: Idleness and boredom lead to sin (2 Samuel 11 – David and Bathsheba). God has a unique mission for you.Overcome lust through true intimacy with God: For singles, the highest pleasure is intimacy with the Creator. John 4: "Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst... a spring of water welling up to eternal life." God's love satisfies deeply.Overcome lust through transparent relationships, self-control, self-imposed boundaries, and specialized support. If you've tried everything, get help!Conclusion:Sexual sin is deeply personal and can feel shameful, a padlock without a key. But God offers life, not death. In our deepest, darkest moments, He says, "I choose you. I love you. Come to me." Breaking sin's power isn't about bootstraps; it's through Him.Call to Action:Receive prayer today; breaking sin's power isn't done alone. When we open up and invite God's light, amazing things happen. Come to the table to remember Jesus' broken body and spilled blood—His ultimate price for our freedom. He gave His life so we could have life. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI. Please notify us if you find any errors.

President Obama Barack did not seek formal congressional authority to bomb Libya in 2011, nor in January 2017, when he ordered B-2 bombers to strike ISIS targets inside the country, one of his last acts as President. President Trump has seemingly quelled the concerned of many on the MAGA Right, making certain that last Saturday's strike was a ‘designated, finite' act, and not a pre-requisite for a protracted ground invasion, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “They have concerns that this "America First," MAGA agenda does not want to get into optional wars in the Middle East. But this is not a 1991 preliminary to an invasion, 2003 preliminary to invasion, 2011 preliminary to Gaddafi regime change. This was a designated, finite act. And now it's over with and it's up to Iran to do what it wants. It can either negotiate and become a peaceful presence with peaceful nuclear power or it can continue its terror. But it has no terrorist appendages to hurt us, really. And we'll see.”

We are entering an age where children are made, not begotten; commissioned, not conceived; designed, and delivered to order, like a handbag or custom suit. These children's stories don't begin with a sperm and and egg, but with a signature and a lawyer. And in the eyes of our culture, this is not tragedy. It's progress.Across the West, surrogacy is sold as compassion—an act of love for the infertile. It is framed as fulfillment for the same-sex couple. It is presented as relief for the hopeful parent with no biological path forward. But beneath the glossy language of “choice” and “family” lies a darker truth: children are being deliberately severed from their mothers, not by death, not by accident—but by design. And increasingly, by commerce.Recently, Jordan Peterson sat down with Katy Faust. It should have been another routine exchange—thoughtful, careful, reasonable. But it wasn't. Faust confronted Peterson, and by extension, the moral schizophrenia of the modern Right: a movement that claims to uphold the family even as it normalizes its destruction.Surrogacy is not simply a medical option—it is a moral crisis. It reorders the very foundations of parenthood, identity, and human dignity. A society that affirms this practice will not remain a society for long, because no nation can endure that builds itself on the backs of children who have been severed from the ones who bore them.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors. You can join our Patreon at patreon.com/rightresponseministries or you can donate at rightresponseministries.com/donate.In today's episode, we begin by defining what surrogacy really is—where it came from, how it's accelerating, and why it matters more now than ever. Then we unpack the Peterson–Faust conversation, and expose why surrogacy is not just a cultural debate—it's a test of whether we still believe in human order and dignity.
