In this episode, Dr. Alan Strange concludes his series on Christian Nationalism by offering final critiques of Stephen Wolfe's book, addressing how we distinguish our critique from that of the progressives,' and offering insight on where our focus should be instead.

It seems that more and more these days, people are hyper-interested in politics. Often we hungrily gobble down all the political talk we hear, without stopping to ask, "Where is my heart in all of this?" Here in this passage, the Herodians and the Pharisees band together to try to trap Jesus in His words. They asked Him if Caesar had a right to impose taxes. Sadly, they call Him Teacher, but they don't want to be taught; they say that He is true, but they don't believe it. After making them admit that the denarius had a mark of Caesar's authority, Jesus made it clear that paying taxes was a necessary part of the civil government that they were living under. But there was more in Jesus' answer than a political lesson. These men were not paying to God what rightfully belonged to Him. They were willing to pay taxes to the government, but they also owed obedience to Jesus – the icon or image of the Father. Yet they were rebels against Him and refused to love the Lord and their neighbor. You can be obsessed with politics and your own power, but all you are doing is building your own kingdom instead of God's. He puts rulers in power, whether for our good or for our bad, but always for His glory. Does your obedience to God depend on your political party winning? Jesus Christ is still King, even today. He still sits on His throne. Kingdoms rise and fall, but His Kingdom is not of this world. Do not put your trust in any political leader, or you will be sadly disappointed. Give to the Lord what belongs to Him!

Stephen Wolfe's book The Case for Christian Nationalism has sparked intense debate. In this episode, Dr. Alan Strange carefully analyzes Wolfe's arguments. While appreciating Wolfe's desire to take the Lordship of Christ seriously, Dr. Strange raises thoughtful concerns about the book's conclusions.

In this episode, Dr. Strange continues his assessment of Christian Nationalism, exploring definitions of essential terms, such as (obviously) "nationalism," "Christian," and others, and addressing whether Stephen Wolfe, author of The Case for Christian Nationalism, uses Scripture to make his case.

look at a shocking statistic about who republicans trust most

Whether we like it or not, we will be inundated with ads from politicians over the next year or so. But the real question we should be asking is, "Who is our King?" Who is the One that we can place our hope and trust in? This scene here in Mark 11 is full of symbolism from the Old Testament. The Jews had been promised that their Messiah would come riding on a donkey's colt. God had assured David that he would one day have an heir who would sit on his throne forever. Jesus' public entry into Jerusalem was a pivot point. He had usually told the people whom He healed to not say anything about Him, but He was not staying hidden forever. And now the people shouted with the trumpets of their own lungs, proclaiming that this was their King Who would sit on the throne! But they expected Him to be a political king Who would overthrow the Romans and give them freedom and wealth. However, Jesus has a much better spiritual Kingdom. We can't be sure who will be our President next year, but we can rest assured that Jesus will be our King! Things will keep happening to shake up our government, but our King in heaven reigns forever. Let's not put our hope in presidents or politicians, but in the Prince of peace!

This Week on "The Friends of Israel Today" Radio: Does the Old Testament still matter today? Yes, as much as ever—for so many reasons! This week, Meno Kalisher, pastor of the Jerusalem Assembly in Israel, teaches us how Paul used the Old Testament to teach the Jewish people foundational truths about the Law, Jesus' deity, and the unity of Jews and Gentiles in the church. He also shares what Israelis think of the current hot topic in the Holy Land, the Netanyahu government's judicial reform plan. Any conversation with Meno is a welcomed blessing on our show, so we hope you enjoy this week's show!

A discussion about a video clip that is all over social media

Psalm 58 | August 6th, 2023 | Chris Rew

"God did this to show Jonah that he cared more about a plant that came and went overnight than he did one of the oldest cities in the world, full of living breathing people created in the image of God and friends, that's a pretty damning indictment on the man of God isn't it? But how many of us have similar misplaced concerns? Maybe we're more concerned about winning a political victory than reaching the lost with the gospel? I think that's a real danger for Bible-believing Christians in our cultural climate right now. Many seem more interested in winning the culture war than seeing the lost come to Christ. But the irony is that the only way we're going to win this culture war is if the lost do come to Christ, so we can't just preach hellfire and then sit out on a hill to watch it all burn. We have to get into the city and love the unlovable with the saving gospel of Jesus Christ and then rejoice when through sovereign mercy, those who were once God's enemies are made His friends."
