The sermon presents a urgent call to Christians to engage in the cultural battle for truth, morality, and the sanctity of life by recognizing how language has been weaponized to redefine fundamental concepts. It exposes the distortion of key terms—relativity, tolerance, and discrimination—arguing that modern usage erases moral distinctions, equates evil with virtue, and undermines the ability to discern between good and evil, thereby enabling societal decay. Drawing from 1 Kings 3, the central plea is for divine wisdom to judge rightly, emphasizing that true civilization depends on the moral courage to distinguish between good and evil. The message then shifts to the pro-life movement, highlighting both alarming trends—such as the widespread acceptance of abortion and the complicity of Obamacare in funding it—and hopeful developments, including a growing pro-life sentiment among the young and a surge in state-level pro-life legislation. Ultimately, the sermon urges believers to be vigilant, informed, and active in defending life and conscience, especially through prayer, political engagement, and the dissemination of biblical truth.

The secular radicalism of the French Revolution was nothing like the appeal to God-given rights in America's Declaration of Independence. Yet the spirit of the bloody French Revolution is on the rise today, notably among elites in our educational and media institutions. We'll take a closer look at how this couldn't be farther from the Christian pillars this nation was founded upon, in this episode of "Truths That Transform."

On this episode of Truths That Transform, you'll get up close and personal with one of our nation's Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson. Though Jefferson was not an orthodox Christian, he was also the furthest thing from the raving secularist he's often portrayed as. Neither Jefferson nor any other founder wanted to banish Christianity from the public square in America. In fact, quite the opposite. They believed that Christianity was essential to the freedom and flourishing of the new republic. Watch the full episode now to find out more.

Freedom of speech, religious liberty, discrimination, censorship—all things that seem to be coming to a head right now and so often Christians find themselves at the center of it all. On today's episode of "Truths That Transform," we'll look at what happened to one man who stood firm in his faith, even when it meant sacrificing his career, and how we can stand strong when faced with such opposition ourselves.

America is the land of liberty. And that's for a very good reason. As the Bible tells us, "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." America's freedom was built upon a Christian foundation, and our Founders deliberately protected that foundation in the First Amendment. But there are now those who wish to cast aside the First Amendment and criminalize Christianity. On today's program you'll discover how only Christianity can be the true basis for your freedom.

This Memorial Day weekend, we stop to remember America's heroes who have fought and died on our behalf, so that we could enjoy security and the blessings of freedom. And we take a look at the recent challenges faced by members of our armed forces, as an increasing number of leaders and policy-makers impose a "woke" ideology. According to many experts, our brave men and women in uniform are being let down, as America's defenses are being weakened by political correctness.

Our culture has been overtaken by "wokeness," a virulent form of Leftism that puts characteristics like race and gender and sexuality at the center of life, and then encourages people to discover how they're being victimized by the powerful in those areas. In what seems like record time, our vital institutions have fallen prey to this Marxist viewpoint that redefines justice, elevates deviant behavior, and penalizes Christianity. On this program, program, you'll discover how this sort of relativism is leading us into destruction—and how we can escape it.

As modern Israel marks its 75th birthday, we'll share portions of a recent visit to the Holy Land by Pastor Rob Pacienza. Christianity is based on real, historical events, from the creation of Adam and Eve to the parting of the Red Sea to the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. Skeptics who want to push Christianity to the margins have often denied these events. But on this program, we'll share how a growing number of discoveries have demonstrated the truth of the Biblical account of history. And you'll see how this evidence can bolster your faith.

The Bible says we are specially created by God in His image. But the evolutionary story says we are the accidental products of time, chance, and matter. When Darwin's theory of evolution took hold as an alternate explanation for God's truth, it changed our culture in profound ways. On this program, we take a look at an excerpt from our brand-new documentary film, Chaos: Darwin's Assault on the Image of God. We examine how evolution's mechanism of advancement, "the survival of the fittest," has led to catastrophe.

In the 20th century, a movement gained dominance which says that the government is supposed to be completely secular, with no reference to God whatsoever. But this contradicts the Bible and misreads the Constitution. So what SHOULD be the connection between God and government? We'll take an in-depth look at that question by examining the world-changing influence that just one Christian can have in the civil government. And Dr. Kennedy explains why Christians not only may, but must be involved in politics.

We recently relaunched our D. James Kennedy Center for Christian Statesmanship in Washington D.C. It's a vital ministry you'll be hearing more about in upcoming days. But why are we doing this? And what is a Christian statesman, anyway? On today's program, we'll explain. Dr. Kennedy recognized that our nation was perishing for a lack of Christian statesman. As we carry out his vision and mission, a renewed commitment to his Center for Christian Statesmanship has become a priority.

Many people take our American freedoms for granted. That's one reason why we're beginning to lose them. America was founded upon a governing document—the Constitution—that keeps the government in its place and protects our God-given rights. But today, many of our institutions are obsessed with cancelling our founders. And as we vilify them and turn away from their vision, liberty suffers. On today's program, you'll discover the genius and uniqueness of America's Constitution as we share a portion of the new documentary from our Providence Forum Foundation of American Liberty series, We the People.

This week, America marks the 291st birthday of George Washington, widely known as the father of our country. But where one generation grew up venerating Washington and his fellow founders, more recently they've been maligned and put under a cloud of suspicion. On today's program, we'll look at the real George Washington as well as a look at how so many great Christian leaders, beginning with the settling of America, brought us a system of government that has stood the test of time as the most remarkable bulwark of freedom on earth. We'll share a portion of the new documentary from our Providence Forum Foundation of American Liberty series, We the People.

Marriage has fallen upon difficult times in America. Divorces are more prevalent than ever, and now even marriage itself is under constant redefinition. Why is that important—and how does it affect all of us? On today's program, we'll look at the blessings of marriage—and how God offers those blessings to you. And we'll see that marriage is designed by God to be the fundamental building block of our society—so when marriage is undermined or attacked, so is society.
