Jenson Huang and Gentlemen Everywhere: Keep It In Your Pants
When was the last act of adultery that had such major national security and economic implications? But even if you don't run the largest company in the world, let's all recommit to not violating the 7th commandment.Â
Republicans Double Down On What LOST Them The Midterms
I had some hope that we could rebound from the recent election. That hope, however, was based on the assumption that the Republicans in Congress learned their lesson. But keeping Thune as Senate leader proves they have not. And their new messaging is that Americans need to "sacrifice"? They better turn this around fast.
This Is How The President Can Go To Heaven
The President of the United States was asked where he thinks he's going to go when he dies. He gave the answer I think I would have given 15 years ago. Unfortunately, there's only one correct answer.
How To Stop Our Nation's Enemies
Our founding fathers knew that our nation depended on God's blessings and that if we stopped glorifying Him, he would abandon us. The Bible is full of examples. After these midterms, what should our first step be? David gives us an example in Psalm 58.

Has God ABANDONED America For Good?!
Throughout the Bible there are examples of God abandoning a group of people. For a nation that was founded on glorifying God, is it possible that God has "given us over" to our sins? The good news is, the Bible tells us how to turn back to God.
There Is Only ONE WAY OUT Of This Political Mess
This is the sort of day that this show was made for! There is plenty to be said about how the Republicans got into this position. Let's get some perspective and find some peace about the moment and then talk about the way - the only way- back to where we should be.
Three Eternal Truths No Matter Who Won The Election
I received three E-mails yesterday from people quoting scripture. It's worth going over these three eternal truths on a day when there will be confusion and disappointment and perhaps false hope. No matter what happened in the election, let's make sure we're building out house on a rock and not on sand.
Election Day: Trump Issues MAJOR Proclamation
The president released a proclamation celebrating the Reformation in England and its role in the creation of our country. This is wonderful church history that we all should know. And there are some lessons in this history that we can take with us tonight. These lessons are true no matter the outcome of the election.
No Matter Who Wins, THIS Is Always True
We need to be physically, emotionally and spiritually prepared for whatever the results are in this midterm election. It will be a mixed bag, and everyone will be trying to find the grand takes to explain what happened. In the chaos of that, we need to bask in the greatest truth of all.

How Can 50% of Christians NOT Vote?
50% of Christians don't vote. First, we may not want all "Christians" to vote if they're "Christian" like James Talarico, but assuming we have God-fearing, Bible-believing Americans not voting, how can that be? Voting is a great way to love your neighbor and to do good for our country. Our Puritans knew it was. Let's go back to a sermon from the 1600's about "doing good" for your country.
What Do Democrats REALLY Value The Most?
I wasn't surprised that Democrats don't appreciate this particular value. I was surprised that Democrats actually value it the least of all. In light of that, today we analyze Matthew 11:14: "The kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force".
Can Our Country Come Back From "Rock Bottom"?
We act as if hitting "Rock Bottom" guarantees a turnaround. It's astounding how bad things can get before people change their ways, if ever! I'll share a few political examples here, from California, North Carolina, and Brazil, and then talk about what the Bible says about "rock bottom".
What Is At Stake In The Midterms?
We have been given a gift in America: a look into the future. You either see the end of the road we’re on, or you’re choosing to ignore it. We don’t need any more evidence. We know where we’re headed. There’s a story in the Bible with a similar lesson.
Will Texas Turn Blue?
A caller was mad at me because he said I’m not taking the Texas Senate race seriously. He thinks Talarico is going to win. So today, we’re talking about how to choose between two sinners. You’re always choosing between two sinners—but it doesn’t have to be a difficult process.
The Most Misunderstood Verse in the Bible (Part II with Ray Comfort & Allen Parr)
The scriptures claim that there is nothing new under the sun. How does that apply to our modern-day culture where everything feels so new? And how do new things and old things intersect? Mike Slater is joined by Allen Parr, Dinesh D’Souza and Ray Comfort for insightful conversation.

lhan Omar Will Be Deported
Why would Ilhan Omar (which is not her real name), knowing she was here illegally, not keep a lower profile? Why was she screaming at the President during the State of the Union address? She flew too close to the sun. We'll talk about Ovid's story of Icarus and the story of Uzziah in the Bible.
Should Vivek Have Released The Anti-Amy Acton Ad?
This new anti-Amy Acton ad, featuring her estranged mother, is causing us to balance political judgment and the pain of broken families. Let's turn to Romans 8 to learn about creation’s groaning, our adoption as God’s children, and the hope of redemption. Today’s suffering is not the end of the story.
Why Don't All Christians Vote?
Should Christians stay out of politics because they’re “not of this world”? I make the case that Jesus meant something very different in John 17—and that Christians shouldn’t sit out on Election Day.
Does El-Sayed Have Ties To The Muslim Brotherhood?
It’s not ideal, at the end of a campaign for senate, to be talking about how you promise you have no ties to a terrorist organization. But are the questions
Foreigners Light France On Fire: You Get What You Vote For
I know the principle "You get what you vote for" is true because it's in the Bible. And it's true for our own personal lives as well. The expression "reap the whirlwind" is in the Bible. We should learn from what's happening in France, so we don't reap the same.

Columbus Was a Christian. Of Course The Left Hates Him
The more you learn about Christopher Columbus (and I'll quote him in his own words), the more it makes perfect sense why the left needs to destroy his legacy. He did it all to glorify God.
Ilhan Omar To Be Deported?!

James Talarico Is LYING About Loving Your Neighbor
Are people going to vote for Talarico in Texas because they want to "love their neighbor"? Should we listen to pagans when they weaponize that scripture, never mention the context and don't even finish the sentence?
