It's Wednesday, October 8th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark 88 countries restrict Bible access The Bible Access Initiative released a list of nations where access to the Bible is restricted. Eighty-eight countries have at least some restrictions on Bible access. The country with the most extreme restrictions is Somalia followed by Afghanistan, Yemen, and North Korea. The Bible Access List noted, “Bible access in Somalia is not just limited; it is outlawed. Under a strict interpretation of Sharia law, it is illegal to print, import, store, or distribute Bibles.” Many of the countries with the worst restrictions are Muslim-majority nations governed by Sharia law. In 2 Timothy 2:8-9, the Apostle Paul reminds us, “Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel, for which I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound!” 20,000 Canadian pro-lifers stood in Life Chain An estimated 20,000 pro-lifers joined Canada's 35th annual Life Chain on Sunday. Participants took the streets across hundreds of cities in Canada. They held pro-life signs along roadways and prayed for the end of abortion. Josie Luetke with the Campaign Life Coalition told LifeSiteNews, “You see longtime, elderly activists with their walkers and lawn chairs and families with young kids running around. Life Chain is really a group effort . . . and it is a joy to see the entire pro-life movement united in this cause on this one day.” 30% of Canadian 11 to 13-year-olds open to church if invited Speaking of Canada, youth evangelism ministry OneHope released a report on the spiritual state of Generation Alpha in the country. The study covered young people between the ages of 11-13. Forty-nine percent of respondents identified as Christian, 35% as non-religious, and 16% as other religions. Only 27% of Gen Alpha Christians qualified as committed Christians through Biblical beliefs and regular prayer and Bible reading. Among non-religious teens, 30% said they would be open to attending a Christian church service if a friend invited them. Trump eager to cut billions in waste and abuse during shutdown In the United States, the federal government shutdown continues as funding proposals from Republicans and Democrats keep failing in the Senate. Democrats are withholding support for a funding bill unless it extends Obamacare subsidies. Republicans want to deal with the issue later in the year. President Donald Trump said he wants to use the shutdown to cut billions of dollars of waste, fraud and abuse. Listen. TRUMP: “Because of the shutdown, which I think they made a big mistake, we're able to take out billions and billions of dollars of waste, fraud and abuse. And they've handed it [to us] on a silver platter. Elon Musk: Cancel your NetFlix subscription over transgender shows Tech billionaire Elon Musk is echoing recent calls for people to cancel their Netflix subscriptions over immoral programming for children. He posted on X last Wednesday, “Cancel Netflix for the health of your kids”. The shares of Netflix dropped nearly 5% over the course of last week. The recent trend to cancel Netflix resulted from conservative voices exposing Netflix for pushing transgender shows on children. More Americans perceive having kids as a blessing Pew Research released a new report showing that more people view having children as a good thing for America. Fifty-three percent of U.S. adults say that if more people choose not to have children, it will have a negative impact on the country. That percentage is up from 47% last year. Only 20% of respondents said that people choosing not to have children would be positive for America. Among men, 59% said fewer people having children would have a negative impact. Among women, that number fell to 48%. Anniversary of William Tyndale's death for translation Bible into English And finally, this week is the anniversary of William Tyndale's death, traditionally commemorated on October 6. Tyndale faced arrest and later death in 1536 for alleged heresy. However, he had worked tirelessly to translate the Bible into English. It was his devotion to Scripture that brought him into conflict with church and civil leaders. In response to an assertion of the supremacy of the Pope, Tyndale famously said, “I defy the Pope and all his laws; and if God spares my life, ere many years, I will cause the boy that driveth the plow to know more of the Scriptures than thou dost!” Copies of Tyndale's translation were smuggled into England by the thousands. His work would form the basis of the Great Bible, edited by Miles Coverdale. It made its way into every parish church just three years after Tyndale's death. Isaiah 52:7 says, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns.'” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, October 8th, in the year of our Lord 2025, my bride Amy's 49th birthday.

In this episode of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Drew and Tim dive into one of the most sobering yet inspiring themes in the history of the church—martyrdom. From the earliest disciples to modern believers still facing persecution today, the stories of those who gave everything for Christ challenge us to examine our own faith. What does it mean to live with boldness instead of fear? And how can we honor the legacy of martyrs in the way we live today?The Testimony of Martyrs Through the AgesDrew and Tim highlight the lives of powerful witnesses like Polycarp, Perpetua and Felicity, Ignatius of Antioch, William Tyndale, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Jim Elliott. Each story reminds us of the cost of discipleship and the unshakable hope found in Christ. Polycarp's famous words still echo across time: “Eighty and six years I have served Him, and He has done me no wrong. How can I blaspheme my King who saved me?” These voices form a “cloud of witnesses” that continues to inspire faith today.Martyrdom in the Modern WorldWhile many of us live in places of relative freedom, persecution and martyrdom are still very real in countries like Nigeria, China, and North Korea. Drew and Tim explore how the church often grows strongest in places where faith is tested most. They also reflect on what it looks like to stand boldly in contexts where persecution is more subtle—social, cultural, or ideological.Boldness Over FearOne of the key takeaways from Acts is that the disciples didn't pray for protection—they prayed for boldness. That same spirit is needed now. Whether facing public hostility, workplace pressure, or even the quiet temptation to compromise, believers today are called to live courageously and keep their eyes fixed on Jesus.Living as WitnessesThe stories of martyrs are not just historical records; they are ongoing testimonies that shape how we live as disciples in our own time. Drew and Tim challenge listeners to ask: What kind of legacy are we leaving? Are we living as bold witnesses, or letting fear and comfort dictate our choices?ConclusionThis conversation is both convicting and inspiring. The blood of the martyrs has indeed been the seed of the church, and their faith continues to call us higher. May we embrace boldness, honor their witness, and keep our eyes on Jesus in a world still desperate for His light.Get the most comfortable shirts we've ever worn!https://kingdomandwill.com/Use code: EYESONJESUS for 15% off Get all our links in one easy place! https://linktr.ee/eyesonjesuspodcastGet the Eyes on Jesus 90 Day Discernment Devotionalhttps://a.co/d/3v8963sJoin our Group on Facebook- Eyes on Jesus podcast community https://www.facebook.com/groups/eyesonjesuspodcastEmail feedback, questions or show topic ideas to eyesonjesuspodcast@outlook.comFor more information on Drew Barker: Follow Drew on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/pastordrewbarkerDrew's church's website https://yes.online/For more information on Tim Ferrara: Get all his links in one place- to his social media, all 3 of his books, and more at https://linktr.ee/discerning_dad

We need a coffee break every once in a while.It is fall time. I got my fall background up here. I love fall. This morning, I went for a walk. I probably could have even put a jacket on, and I live in Texas, and it's still September. I am so excited. So, I don't know what your weather is like, but it has been getting cooler here as well.Today, what I want to do is talk to you about a time in the fall season that Christians often struggle with, and that is Halloween. What are we doing? I want to talk to you about some alternatives to Halloween.We are releasing this, and this Wednesday, we are going to have a Facebook party that will dive more into fall alternatives to Halloween. So I hope you will join me. It is in Facebook. There'll be some freebies in there, but there'll be some great resources as well.Halloween Doesn't Have to Be About Darkness or FearToday, what I want to share with you are some Christ-centered and some family-friendly alternatives that you can use in your family, in your home, and in your home school as well. And let's talk about fall traditions.If you are listening to this and there is a place to put a comment, leave a comment and let me know what's one of your fall traditions. We all have Christmas traditions, or Thanksgiving traditions. What are some traditions during the fall time?You know, I love the cooler weather. We did decorate pumpkins, and we still decorate pumpkins. My kids carved a pumpkin when they were younger. I remember one time I bought these big jewel stickers and bought one of those small little pumpkins for my two oldest granddaughters. They were probably like 2 and 4, 3 and 5, and they could just put those stickers all over wherever they wanted, and they had their own little decorated pumpkin, their jeweled pumpkin, we could say.What fall traditions do you want your kids to remember? When we lived in Idaho, we went apple picking, and then we would make apple cider right there. Some of y'all might go through those corn mazes. I've done that, not with my kids, but I've done it with Steve and with some adults as well. And then some of you might go to just a pumpkin patch. I know in Dallas, they have a beautiful arboretum completely decorated with all the fall stuff there is.So, what are some family traditions you might have for fall?Christ-Centered Alternatives to HalloweenNow let's move on to Christ-centered alternatives to Halloween. You know, the world, it seems like, has hijacked all Hallows' Eve. But we can take it back for holiness and for light.It is a dark holiday now, let's be honest, but we stand for the light, the light of Jesus Christ. And so, let's talk about some alternative things you might do during October, during the last week of October, and how you could really focus on the light of the world.Family Praise Night: Maybe just have some families over and have a family praise night, where everyone brings a dessert, and y'all sing some songs and share testimonies of God's work in your family.Light Bags: Maybe you could do like the light bags, and everyone in your neighborhood just gets the little sandwich bags, and they can decorate it, maybe even cut holes if you want, and put a candle, or if you don't want to do a candle, you could put those little electric candles in there. Then line them up on your sidewalk, or line them up across the front of your house as well. You might decorate them with Bible verses if you want.Heroes of the Faith Costume: Maybe everyone chooses a Bible character and dresses up as a Bible character, and you come ready to tell at least one little fact each child does about the person that they have dressed up. So, they're going to be learning, and they get to dress up as well.Harvest of Blessings Night: I have done this, and I do not have a picture of it. We took a big piece of brown paper wrap paper, and I just drew a tree with branches, but no leaves. Then we cut out leaves out of orange, yellow, brown, those colors, and each leaf, you would write a blessing that you have. You could start it in October and continue it into November during Thanksgiving as well. Be our blessings tree, or our thanks tree. Add to it all season long. And then, at Thanksgiving, be able to sit down and read through some of the blessings that you've had in the past two months.Scripture Scavenger Hunt: You could do a scripture scavenger hunt, where you hide verses around the house, or around the yard, and maybe tied to a little prize or a little treat. But each verse is connected to some themes, the theme of light, the theme of courage, or the theme of God's protection.Service Night: I love this idea, it's called Service Night. Be a light in your community. Maybe you bake some cookies, and you are the light to maybe our first responders that are around there. You could put little verses tied onto some little Ziplocs, like you could put some cookies in there, and put some verses in there that go along with Jesus being the light. So, this teaches our kids the joy of giving instead of always getting.Celebrating Reformation Day: Our Family TraditionI want to share a story of something that we did personally, and that was Reformation Day. We did, I guess most of the ones we did were lunches. We did it at lunchtime, and we celebrated Reformation Day, October 31st, All Hallows' Eve. It's the eve of All Hallows Day on November 1st.And where did this all come about? Now, let me just say, whether you are Catholic, or Protestant, I don't really care. You still need to know what history has to say. I am... we grew up... we lean... we are Protestant, and we taught our kids the Protestant faith. But they still learned the Catholic faith. They learned about it. I wanted them to be able to think through any of those situations, anything like that. So, regardless of what your perspective and your theology is, I think it's important that we share this with our kids.The Story of Martin Luther and the 95 ThesesWe begin with Martin Luther, because on October 31st in the 1500s, he was a German monk and a teacher. He loved God, and he wanted everyone to understand the Bible. But the church at that time was asking people to pay for their forgiveness, like, give money. They are called indulgences. And many people were very confused about it, and actually some were upset. The poor people felt like they got wrangled around.And so, Martin Luther wrote these statements, 95 statements, and we call them 95 Theses. And explain what he thought the church should fix, and how it should work, and how we needed to rethink some of the things that the church was doing. I'm going to read a few of these. These are not complaints, they are just questions and ideas.Salvation is a gift from God, not bought with money. Repentance means changing your heart, not just giving money. The Pope cannot forgive sins with money. Christ followers should focus on faith and good works, not paying for forgiveness. Preachers should teach God's Word. Money cannot cleanse the soul, only God can. The church should help the poor, not profit from their guilt. Christians should study the Bible for themselves.That was a new concept. We have Bibles everywhere. And yet, they didn't even have it in their own language. That was William Tyndale, was one of the first people that starts translating the Latin Bible, the Vulgate, into English. Eventually, they started translating from the Greek and the Hebrew. He was on the run and ended up dying, but he was one of the first men trying to translate the actual Bible into the English language. The authority of the Bible is higher than the authority of the Pope.On October 31st, 1517, he took this paper and he went and nailed it to the door of the Wittenberg church. The church door, in that time, acted like a bulletin board. So when there were any announcements or notices, people could just go nail them up there, and that's what Martin Luther did. And people began to read these theses, and they shared them widely. This started a movement called the Reformation.Why Reformation Day Matters TodayNow, there's a lot more that goes over. That is just a simple view. You can teach it to your kids at different levels, but I think it's important. Why is this important? Because we need to sometimes question our church leaders, even today. You should always go back to the Bible and use the Bible. I mean, if they're doing something that goes against the Bible, then that is something you need to consider. Maybe that's not the place that you need to be attending church.This also eventually helped people read and understand the Bible for themselves in their own language, and it changed church history forever. No matter where you are, and I sort of see the church in Roman Catholicism, Greek Orthodox, and then the Protestant movement. I want to say it was protesting, and that's how we get the word Protestant, protesting Catholics and Roman Catholics, if I remember correctly.You see, the big picture is God used this reformation to bring truth, encourage and revival to that society. It actually makes me think a little bit about today. God is using something evil to bring about truth and courage and revival here in the United States. And hopefully around the world.I mentioned that last week, but you know, you could go and look. There are martyrs that died for their faith. You could go through and study some of them. I think I have the book here. There is Book of Martyrs, but this is a kid's version of Trial and Triumph, and this is stories from church history. This would be a great place for you to get started in sharing stories, and some of them are martyrs, and some of them are people that were just strong and courageous in their faith, and so that would be something that could tie in. That would be an alternative to Halloween, if you want to dive deep into this.How to Host Your Own Reformation Day PartyAnother thing, and this is what we did, we studied this time period, and then we had a Reformation Day party. We invited families, every family was responsible for bringing one food dish and hosting a booth. That booth could be a game, it could be a craft.We had some stairs up at the front of my house, and so, one of them had them, like, climbing, because at that time in the cathedral, they had to crawl up these stairs when they would go to Rome. We had people making candles at that time, because you needed candles for life. There are all different things you could do. We would always sing some songs, we might even act out a play based on one of our reformers, depending on who we were choosing, whether I think we... I know we did Martin Luther, John Calvin, Martin Bucer, any of those, and then we would always fellowship over a meal.And so that's really cool. How about you weave Reformation history into your home school, even with just one activity? You know, I think it's really important. You could host a party. It's not that hard. You don't have to do all of it. Spread the love and let other people come and bring activities for your kids. Our first one, my kids even dressed up. They made costumes, and they dressed up like a woman back in that time period, or a man.So, enjoy your family fall traditions that creates memories, look for alternatives to Halloween that point your family to Christ, and then celebrate Reformation Day to root your kids in church history. And I would encourage you to plan right now, this week, first week of October, what is one thing that you will do in October that's an alternative to Halloween, if that's something you want to do?Ready-to-Go Reformation Day ResourcesIf you'd like something that's a ready-to-go activities, I have something called a Reformation Day unit study. I pulled it together. You're going to get a book list, you're going to get stories about it, you get a slide presentation on different reformers. We have videos as well. There are recipes in there, and you know, a unit study takes the topic, and then we provide all the different subjects, history, and science, and art, and cooking, and Bible, and character, and literature. You get a little bit of all of that, and then you can pick and choose what it is you want for your family.If you happen to be listening to this, the week that this episode is published, this unit study is on sale, and so you can use the link below to be able to save some money on that Reformation Unit Study. You can get it at any time. People have bought it at all times of the year. But, right now, if you'd like to save a little money, just use the link in the coupon code CODE REF25, and you'll be able to save a little bit money as well.Hey, if you have a comment or question, reach out to me, you know, email me, DM me. If you have gotten just one little tip out of here, would you please share this with another Christian mom or another homeschool mom to help them, that would mean the world to me. Or, leave a 5-star review, because that means we can get this out to more and more people. Moms don't have the time to pull all this together, and they just need some creative ideas.Hey, thanks for spending time with me. I am Kerry Beck with Homeschool Coffee Break. We'll talk to you next time.
A lecture given at L'Abri Fellowship in Southborough, Massachusetts. For more information, visit https://southboroughlabri.org/ by Esther Dalton Can you imagine living a Christian life without the Bible? Five hundred years ago, that was the situation of most ordinary Christians. In fact, at that time, it was illegal to translate the Bible into English. But William Tyndale, a priest and scholar, was convinced that ordinary English speakers needed the Bible in their mother tongue and, in the face of serious opposition, set about the work of translation. This lecture will share the story of Tyndale's life and reflect on why his story is important to us today. The Copyright for all material on the podcast is held by L'Abri Fellowship.

Together, they founded The Learning Parent ministry and Character Concepts, authored dozens of books, and traveled extensively to speak at homeschool and Christian parenting conferences. Their mission is to encourage, inspire, and challenge parents who are training the next generation of Americans. She appeared on Crosstalk to discuss the Legends of Faith set including Early Church Fathers and Famous Preachers and Evangelists. Beginning with discussion on the book, Early Church Fathers, you'll learn a bit about Polycarp (Bishop of Smyrna and an apostle of John), Irenaeus (a disciple of Polycarp), William Tyndale (the Bible smuggler), English Puritan John Owen and Scottish minister John Knox. Discussion then moves to the book, Famous Preachers and Evangelists where you'll hear about Scottish/Baptist preacher John Harper (who witnessed to those perishing on the Titanic), George Mueller (the beloved father of orphans), Peter Cartwright and Francis Asbury.

Featured Teacher: Daniel Christensen In this powerful message on Psalm 79, we explore how Christians should respond when martyrs die for their faith. Drawing parallels between historical figures like William Tyndale, Jim Elliott, and the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, this sermon examines the prophetic vision of Asaph and its connection to Christ's passion. Rather than responding with violence or vengeance, Scripture calls believers to peaceful prayer and trust in God's justice. Through examining biblical examples and historical patterns, we discover how God transforms the ultimate evil—martyrdom—into gospel advancement. The blood of martyrs becomes the seed of church growth and spiritual awakening throughout history.

In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins addresses the timely and sobering question: Should Christians pursue persecution? The Bible is clear—persecution is promised for all who desire to live a godly life in Christ (2 Timothy 3:12), but it is never something believers are called to seek out. Instead, Christians are called to faithfulness, courage, and steadfast love in the face of opposition. Through Scripture, church history examples like Polycarp and William Tyndale, and pastoral reflection, Dave explains: Why persecution is promised but not pursued. The difference between faithfulness and provocation. How to prepare your heart to stand firm when trials come. Persecution is not a strategy, but when it comes, it is a privilege to suffer for Christ's name. May we stand firm in faith and stay anchored in His Word.

Dave Lawther sits down with Jean-Marc Alter to find out about William Tyndale, the Bible translator.
This is message 28 in The Power of God's Name Acts 15:26 True devotion to Jesus means valuing His name above life itself. From the apostles who risked everything, to Paul who was ready to die, to Stephen and countless others who faced death with joy, the testimony is clear. The name of Jesus is worth every sacrifice. Across history, faithful believers have proven that following Him is not about safety or ease but about surrender. Their lives call us to the same unwavering commitment, showing that nothing compares to the glory of living and dying for Christ.

People can lose their temper when things don't go their way, or don't happen in the time they want. That is when character testing starts. Many times, trials reveal the heart. As the saying goes: “the heart of the matter is the matter of the heart” Over the past few weeks we have been learning about how to be a grown-up Christian, how to mature in our faith, and move to a new level of understanding (James 1:2-5). Through the Bible we find many characters that experienced this theme of patience in their lives, like Abraham, Moses, Joseph, David, and of course Jesus. 1. A grown-up Christian will learn to be patient (Galatians 6:9; Hebrews 6:12; James 1:3; Hebrews 12:1-2; Romans 12:12) 2. A grown-up Christian will practice discernment (Ephesians 4:14 NLV; Acts 17:11) 3. A grown-up Christian will persist (Philippians 2:12; Colossians 1:23; Acts 13:43, 28:14) Apply 1. A grown-up Christian will learn to be patient Immaturity – impatient: An immature Christian will be impatient, they like instant answers to their prayers. Everything must be done immediately. Many people say: "God, you told me you are going to bless me, I want everything you have shown me to happen today.” Charles Spurgeon said: “The waiting itself is beneficial to us: it tries faith, exercises patience, trains submission, and endears the blessing when it comes.” When we look at the Bible, the translation of the word Patience from the original Hebrew means: slow to anger. So, patience is not only waiting, it is waiting with a good attitude (Galatians 6:9). Can you imagine a farmer sowing seeds and then checking the ground that same hour for the fruit? It's not logical. In the same way, we need to develop patience. We need to be slow to anger and to practice self-control. Patience is trusting God's timing, enduring trials without bitterness, and responding to others with grace (Hebrews 6:12). Maturity – patient: What are the testings in your life producing today (James 1:3)? It may be anger, frustration, sadness, hopelessness, disappointment, indifference, or even a sense of “I deserve this” which is condemnation. However, a Mature Christian will say “God, this is temporary, my eyes are fixed on you” (Hebrews 12:1-2). A mature Christian will see that patience is not just passive waiting, it is active endurance (Romans 12:12). Jesus was patient with His disciples when they didn't get it. Also, He was patient with sinners when they were lost and broken. The disciples were told to wait for the Holy Spirit. There were many questions, but as they waited and prayed, the Holy Spirit came. 2. A grown-up Christian will practice discernment Immaturity - easily influenced and a sucker for the spectacular: Immature Christians can be like children who are open to strangers, especially strangers who smile and gave sweets. That is why we tell our children "Don't talk to strangers". Why? Because they can easily be led astray. This is not new; this was a constant problem in the New Testament. False teachers arose who led the spiritually immature away. Today we see many people following the same pattern, looking for the next big trend, the next big event, the excitement. Children like noise and bright colours. Some Christians only really come alive when the circus comes to town. The bigger the build ups, the greater the hype, the more outrageous the claims, the happier some people are. All that glitters, however, is not necessary gold. Maturity - can discern between good and evil: Discernment is not human cleverness, it is Holy Spirit-given. It is distinguishing the voice of Christ from the voices of culture. When we become a mature Christian “Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won't be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth” (Ephesians 4:14 NLV). With countless YouTube sermons, TikTok reels, and Spotify podcasts, it's easy to believe whatever sounds inspiring. But be watchful of what you feed your mind with, be careful of what you see, hear and believe. This is very important. We read that the Bereans were eager to learn and were discerning so they opened the scrolls, compared the apostle Paul's teaching with the Old Testament, and checked carefully (Acts 17:11). Not to contradict what Paul was teaching, but they did this because of their desire to grow in faith and to be rooted in the Word of God. Discernment is not about being clever; it's about being close to Christ, the Good Shepherd, whose sheep know His voice. When you spend time in His Word, you learn to recognise His voice above the noise. 3. A grown-up Christian will persist Immaturity - easily discouraged and put down: Sometimes we can be discouraged when we don't see the fruit we dream of. Perseverance is not a virtue always seen in young children. Maturity - not just consistent but persistent: One of the big words to the early church was 'continue' (Philippians 2:12; Colossians 1:23; Acts 13:43; Acts 28:14). Sometimes growth feels slow, but in Christ, every step of endurance is moving us toward maturity and victory (see William Wilberforce, John Wycliffe, William Tyndale). As mature Christians, we need the determination and to make the decision to not turn back, but to persist, insist and resist for the cause of Christ.

What happens when one of England's earliest reformers loses his nerve—yet dies for it anyway? On this day in Tudor history, 19th August 1531, Thomas Bilney, priest and preacher from Norfolk, was burned at the stake in Norwich's infamous Lollards' Pit. Bilney had once been a fiery voice for reform—distributing William Tyndale's books, preaching against saints and pilgrimages, and even inspiring future martyrs like Hugh Latimer. But under pressure, he broke. He recanted. He regretted it. And in the end… he couldn't live with his denial. In this video, I'll explore Bilney's: - Early life and Cambridge career - Spiritual awakening through Erasmus's New Testament - Fiery preaching and arrest under Cardinal Wolsey - His fateful abjuration—and why he couldn't bear it - Final arrest, trial, and burning at Norwich - His legacy as the “martyr who took it back” Thomas Bilney may not be as famous as Tyndale or Cranmer, but his story reveals the messy, human side of the English Reformation—doubt, conviction, fear, and courage. Had you heard of Thomas Bilney before today? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Send us a textDelving into the heart of Galatians 3, we unpack the revolutionary concept of justification by faith that forms the foundation of authentic Christian belief. This examination reveals how profoundly misunderstood this core doctrine remains among believers today.The apostle Paul makes a startling statement that should shake the foundations of works-based religion: those attempting to achieve justification through law-keeping are actually under a curse. Why? Because the standard is absolute perfection—not just in actions but in thoughts and tendencies as well. One slip, one failure, and the entire endeavor crumbles.When we arrive at Galatians 3:13, we discover what might be the most concise expression of the gospel in Scripture: "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us." These simple words contain the revolutionary doctrine of substitution—Christ taking our place and suffering what we deserved. The phrase "for us" carries immense theological weight, revealing that salvation isn't merely an opportunity Christ provides but a completed transaction.This understanding of substitutionary atonement naturally leads to the doctrine of eternal security. If Christ truly became our curse-bearer, then for us to later face condemnation would constitute a form of "double jeopardy"—being punished twice for the same offense. Such a scenario would not only undermine Christ's finished work but would also make God unjust by His own standards.William Tyndale's brilliant translation of "atonement" as "at-one-ment" captures the essence of what Christ accomplished—making us permanently "at one" with God through His sacrifice. This unbreakable bond forms the foundation of our eternal security.Join us as we explore how one verse contains the entire gospel and why truly grasping justification by faith transforms everything about how we approach God, understand salvation, and live out our faith. When you comprehend what Christ has done for you, religion's anxious striving gives way to grateful, secure rest in His finished work.Support the show

The lecture traces the English Reformation's complex history, beginning with Henry VIII's desire for a male heir and culminating in the establishment of the Church of England as a distinct institution. It highlights the shift from Roman Catholicism, the influence of key figures like Thomas Cranmer and William Tyndale, and the eventual development of the 39 Articles as a foundational doctrinal standard. The speaker emphasizes the legacy of the English Reformation, particularly its impact on shaping Anglican identity and its role as a significant part of the speaker's own ecclesiastical heritage, while also acknowledging the wide range of theological perspectives within the Anglican tradition today.

Over 90% of the King James Bible consist of his translated words that later influenced the trajectory of Christianity in the New World. Revered as a translator of the Bible into English (1526), William Tyndale (1494-1536) was a biblical scholar and linguist who became a leading figure in the Protestant Reformation in the years leading up to his execution for heresy.

During a peaceful walk through the Gloucestershire countryside, I stumbled upon a village church with a powerful story — one that changed the course of English history. Little Sodbury is one of only a handful of Thankful Villages in England, where all soldiers returned from both World Wars. But this place is also where William Tyndale, the brilliant scholar and Bible translator, heard his call to make Scripture accessible to everyone. In this podcast, I'll take you to St Adeline's Church, rebuilt using the stones of the original chapel where Tyndale once preached. It was here, as chaplain to the Walsh family at Little Sodbury Manor, that he began developing his radical ideas — ideas that would influence Anne Boleyn, shake the foundations of the church, and ultimately lead to his execution. Learn how Tyndale's The Obedience of a Christian Man found its way into the hands of Henry VIII. Discover the Reformation roots hidden in this tiny village and hear how one man's mission to bring the Bible to the people led to betrayal, martyrdom… and a legacy that shaped the English-speaking world.

“I have claimed this land for God.” The words were written by John G. Paton and adorn the grave of his wife and child. It was a declaration of faith that God would bring the people of the New Hebrides, now Vanuatu, to Himself. The islanders were thought of as savages; in fact Paton slept on the grave to prevent the bodies of his wife and child from being eaten by cannibals. Paton famously said, “If I can but live and die serving and honoring the Lord Jesus, it will make no difference whether I am eaten by cannibals or by worms.” Today the islands are full of churches—even some very close to the site of Mrs. Paton's grave. is the producer and director of a six-part video series called Missionary, which includes an episode about Paton, as well as others which tell the stories of famous missionaries.

William Tyndale was a man of God who stood against the false teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. What happened to him? . . . VIDEO SAME MESSAGE
What is the cost? That is the question we are asking today on Like it Matters Radio. There is usually a cost. I am not talking about a number that is placed on an item that we need to exchange currency to have. This is beyond money. Certain things have a COST that is far greater than money, currency or exchange value. The Freedoms America has had for 100+ years had a cost. The loss of our freedom today has a cost. For many around the world, following Jesus has a cost. Today’s hour of power is talking about that cost. The specific question; How much did that Bible cost, to get into your hands. If I mentioned men like William Tyndale, and John Wycliffe, with a little study you would see the COST that these men paid for defying a country, The Catholic Church and the forces of Evil to print a Bible in ENGLISH- it was ILLEGAL! Today you will hear about Tyndale, if you didn’t already know. However, Tyndale is merely our launching point to get us to a ministry called EEM. The mission of EEM began in 1961 when a small band of missionaries bravely answered God’s call to take His Word to the people under the rule of the IRON CURTAIN, the Soviet Union. Today you will hear of a man by the name of Gwen Hensley, and the cost he paid to get the Bible in the native tongue of people who had never read it, never heard it and were outlawed from having it.

Send us a textHave you ever wondered why God sometimes allows difficult situations in your life? Just as a shepherd might break a wandering sheep's leg to keep it close and nurse it back to health, God may permit challenges that draw us nearer to Him. This profound analogy opens our conversation about divine purpose in suffering before we dive into the theological depths of Christ's atonement.The doctrine of atonement—literally meaning "at-one-ment"—stands as one of Christianity's most foundational yet contested teachings. Our panel explores how William Tyndale coined this term to capture the essence of Christ making believers "at one" with God through His sacrifice. We unpack the Reformed understanding that Jesus' atonement effectively saves all those for whom He died, reconciling God's sovereignty with human salvation in ways that honor the unified will of the Trinity.The question of eternal security generates our most passionate exchange. Can true Christians lose their salvation? The panel presents compelling biblical reasoning that challenges this notion: If salvation could be lost, how could anyone claim with confidence they are saved? What sin could possibly undo what Christ accomplished? Where would the indwelling Holy Spirit go when a believer sins? Through personal testimonies, including one participant's nine-year walk away from faith before being powerfully restored, we witness how God's grip on His children never loosens, even when we try to escape it.This conversation distinguishes between God's eternal perspective (where His elect have always been His) and our human experience of salvation in time. The discussion concludes with a fresh interpretation of 2 Peter 3:9, revealing how God's unwillingness that any should perish guarantees the salvation of all His chosen people—bringing profound comfort to believers who rest not in their own faithfulness, but in the perfect, completed work of Christ.The Balance of GrayGod, doubt, and proof walk into a podcast... it goes better than you'd expect!Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Missions Conference 2025
It's Tuesday, February 4th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Egyptian Christian jailed for converting from Islam An Egyptian Christian, Abdulbaqi Saeed Abdo, is a father of five and converted from Islam to the Christian faith. Originally from Yemen, West Asia, he has been released from an Egyptian prison after three years of incarceration. Abdo was indicted on charges of participating in a private Facebook group which advocated the Christian faith. Alliance Defending Freedom International represented the Christian convert who suffered poor treatment in prison, affecting his heart, liver, and kidneys. Trump pauses tariffs on Canada & Mexico after pledge to boost border enforcement On Monday, President Donald Trump agreed to a 30-day pause on his tariff threats against Mexico and Canada since America's two largest trading partners took steps to appease his concerns about border security and drug trafficking, reports the Associated Press. TRUMP: “Had a great talk with Mexico. We have to stop fentanyl from coming in, and we have to stop the illegal aliens from coming in.” In the face of a 25% tariff south of the border, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she would reinforce the border with 10,000 members of her country's National Guard. TRUMP: “They've agreed to put in 10,000 soldiers permanently, like forever, 10,000 soldiers at their side of the border and stop fentanyl.” That's why Trump called off that tariff threat for the moment. Mexico's trade surplus with the U.S. is running at $160 billion. The Trump administration had also suggested a 25% tariff on Canadian annual imports of some $430 billion. Initially, the Canadian government responded with a suggestion of a 25% tariff on American goods, currently running at $107 billion. But, on Monday afternoon, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau posted on X that the pause would occur “while we work together,” saying that his government would name a fentanyl czar, list Mexican cartels as terrorist groups, and launch a “Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl, and money laundering.” Will Trump's tariff threat persuade China and European Union? Trump has announced a 10% tariff on China on $400 billion of imports to begin today if President Xi Jinping does not demonstrably commit to combat illegal immigration and drug smuggling, reports Reuters. TRUMP: “If we can't make a deal with China, then the tariffs will be very, very substantial.” China's surplus is $270 billion. Europe will not be immune to President Trump's tariff pressure either. He is planning to levy a tariff on the European Union which, at this point, holds a trade surplus of $160 billion with the United States. U.S. Agency for Int'l Development under control of State Dept now Meanwhile, the Trump administration has announced that the U.S. Agency for International Development, primarily responsible for administering civilian foreign aid and development assistance, will move under the direct control of the U.S. State Department. It will no no longer act as an independent agency. USAID spending has run between $15 and $20 billion per year over the last 20 years. It was created in 1961 under the Kennedy administration. In related news, the USAID website was taken down Saturday. Dept. of Defense ends identity months The U.S. Defense Department has announced an end to the sponsorship and support of “Identity Months” through the use of official resources. That will include Black History Month, Women's History Month, and National Disability Employment Awareness Month. The release entitled “Identity Months Dead at DoD” stated that the department would instead “celebrate the valor and success of military heroes of all races, genders, and backgrounds as we restore our warrior culture and ethos.” New York doctor to be arrested for prescribing Abortion Kill Pill A Louisiana grand jury has issued an arrest warrant for a New York doctor who allegedly prescribed abortion kill pills for a pregnant minor who resided in the state of Louisiana. The jury indicted Dr. Margaret Carpenter; her company, Nightingale Medical, PC; and the minor's mother for the felony of administering an abortion-inducing drug to the child. West Baton Rouge District Attorney Tony Clayton told the Associated Press that the mother turned herself in to the police last week. Job 24:1, 14 speaks of this. “Since times are not hidden from the Almighty, why do those who know Him see not His days? … The murderer rises with the light; He kills the poor and needy; and in the night he is like a thief.” Education decline in America The United States is leading the world in educational decline, according to the most recent Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study issued towards the end of 2024. Our students' math scores dropped from 13th place in 2019 to 25th place in the 2023 testing. American 4th graders' scores fell 18 points after 2019, while 8th graders' scores fell by 27 points—the biggest drop since the United States began participating in the test in 1995. Peggy Carr, the commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics, noted what she called the “steep, steep” declines — erasing progress made in previous years. Brazil, South Africa, and Morocco have the worst scores while China, South Korea, Singapore, and Japan lead the world in science and math. But let us all remember that “the fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction..” (Proverbs 1:7) Martyr John Rogers burned at the stake February 4, 1555 And, on this day in history, February 4th, 1555, John Rogers was burned at the stake, as the first Christian martyr under the reign of the English monarch Mary I. She became known as “Bloody Mary” for ordering a total of 280 Protestants burned at the stake. Rogers was a friend of William Tyndale and continued Tyndale's efforts to translate the Bible. Roger's work included the first complete English Bible and English Bible commentary, published under the pseudonym Thomas Matthews. His translation was known as the Matthews Bible. He is remembered for singing the Psalms as he was marched to the site of his execution. Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, February 4th in the year of our Lord 2025.
