Should Christians support political candidates who support and promote such issues as abortion, tax hikes, homosexual rights and others? Can a Christian support Barak Obama or Hillary Clinton and remain faithful to the Gospel? Mike examines this and what is the true definition of an “evangelical Christian”.
Mike introduces a new theme on the program, Should we be surprised?, as he examines various topics, issues and events concerning the lostness of a lost person, or the state of “carnal Christians”, that may be shocking, sad and outrageous, but not surprising. Mike’s examples include comments by pastors about why many church members have little or no understanding of basic Biblical concepts; a Christian university professor suspended for private comments about homosexuality; and the comments of a pastor, stating that we are called to preach the Gospel and not worry about the response.
