We start this hour by discussing yet another state’s battle on the topic of abortion. This time our sites are set on Nebraska and the issue voters will face in that state. Then author Tim Goeglein looks at the philosophies and policies that led to the societal earthquake of the 1960s and how those philosophies and policies have led to the cataclysm America faces today. He offers a blueprint for rejecting those philosophies and policies by returning to the core values upon which America was built: personal responsibility, respect for life, sexual restraint, and patriotism.
According to Google, the phrase “I’m offended” has increased in usage by more than 5,600% in just the past century. Humans have always taken offense, but never have we been so obsessed with it. Offense stunts our conversations and divides our relationships. It infects our families, politics, entertainment, and churches. Yet few seem to be asking why or what it might be costing us. Today we look closely at some of Jesus’ most challenging words. Discover a Savior willing to risk offending you to heal you from your deepest insecurities. Because His love is great, His truths are often hard, and His compassion sharp. But perhaps it’s Jesus’ hard words we need most right now.
