NEWS & INFORMATION
AS CHRISTIANS, WE NEED TO BE INFORMED ABOUT KEY ISSUES OF THE DAY, ESPECIALLY WHEN MAINSTREAM MEDIA AND CULTURE TRY TO TELL A DIFFERENT STORY. SEARCH BELOW TO FIND VIDEOS, INTERVIEWS, AND ARTICLES ON A VARIETY OF KEY TOPICS. AS ALWAYS, WE WANT TO EVALUATE EVERYTHING WE SEE FOR TRUTH AND LINE IT UP AGAINST GOD'S UNCHANGING WORD.
DEMOCRACY & GOVERNMENT
THERE IS A MASSIVE ASSAULT TODAY ON OUR DEMOCRACY AND CIVIL LIBERTIES IN THE UNITED STATES. MUCH OF THIS STEMS FROM A PROPER LACK OF EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS ABOUT OUR CONSTITUTION, BILL OF RIGHTS, AND THE INTENT OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS. THERE IS ALSO A LACK OF CONCERN ABOUT THE HISTORICAL DANGERS OF SOCIALISM AND COMMUNISM.
WEBSITE: MY FAITH VOTES
A CHRISTIAN-OPERATED FORUM THAT KEEPS PEOPLE INFORMED OF BILLS BEING PRESENTED FOR VOTING IN WASHINGTON D.C. AND MAKES IT EASIER TO CONTACT OUR GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES.
WEBSITE: INTERCESSORS FOR AMERICA
INFORMS CHRISTIANS ABOUT LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL PRAYER CONCERNS, CONNECTS CHRISTIANS WITH OTHER PRAYER INTERCESSORS, AND MOBILIZES CHRISTIANS TO PRAY FOR THEIR ELECTED LEADERS AND ISSUES OF THE DAY.
CORONA VIRUS
IT IS NOT A CONTRADICTION TO SAY THAT CORONA VIRUS IS REAL AND CAN BE DEADLY IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS, WHILE ALSO ACKNOWLEDGING THAT VARIOUS GOVERNMENTS AND POLITICAL FORCES MAY BE USING THE VIRUS FOR THEIR OWN ENDS. WHETHER ITS THE DISCUSSION ON CLOTH MASKS, VACCINES, ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS, OR GOVERNMENT MANDATES VS PERSONAL LIBERTIES, THERE IS MORE TO THE DISCUSSION THAN MAINSTREAM MEDIA PORTRAYS.

CHRISTIAN BELIEFS & DEFENSE
DOCTRINE IS A SET OF BELIEFS OR TEACHING THAT WE ADHERE TO AS CHRISTIANS. APOLOGETICS IS THE EVIDENCE OR DEFENSE OF THOSE BELIEFS TO OTHERS. IN AN INCREASINGLY SECULAR (MORE NON-BELIEVERS) AND PLURALISTIC (MORE COMPETING RELIGIONS) WORLD, WE MUST BE PREPARED TO KNOW WHAT WE BELIEVE (DOCTRINE) AND EXPLAIN THE GOSPEL AND OUR FAITH TO OTHERS (APOLOGETICS).
DOCTRINE
A GREAT STARTER BOOK FOR DOCTRINE WOULD BE "CHRISTIAN BELIEFS" BY WAYNE GRUDEM. HE OVERVIEWS THE TOP 20 ESSENTIAL BELIEFS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH IN A SMALLER PAPERBACK BOOK. GRUDEM ALSO HAS A MEDIUM SIZED BOOK WITH MORE INFORMATION CALLED "BIBLE DOCTRINE." FINALLY, GRUDEM HAS A LARGER RESOURCE CALLED "SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY," WHICH GOES INTO THE GREATEST DETAIL.
APOLOGETICS
A GREAT STARTER BOOK FOR EVIDENCE OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH WOULD BE JOSH MCDOWELL'S SMALL PAPERBACK, "MORE THAN A CARPENTER." MCDOWELL HAS A LARGER REFERENCE BOOK CALLED "EVIDENCE THAT DEMANDS A VERDICT." ANOTHER RECOMMENDED STARTER BOOK IS LEE STROBEL'S "THE CASE FOR CHRIST." HE HAS FURTHER BOOKS IN THE SERIES LIKE "THE CASE FOR FAITH" AND "THE CASE FOR A CREATOR."
ANSWERS IN GENESIS
GENESIS CHAPTERS 1-11 INTRODUCES US TO SEVERAL FOUNDATIONAL BELIEFS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH, SO IT'S NO WONDER THAT SKEPTICS AND SCHOOL BOOKS OFTEN TRY TO ATTACK OR UNDERMINE THE BEGINNING OF THE BIBLE. KEN HAM'S MINISTRY, ANSWERS IN GENESIS, SEEKS TO EDUCATE CHILDREN, ADULTS, AND FAMILIES ON THOSE CORE GENESIS 1-11 BELIEFS THAT FORM THE FOUNDATION FOR OUR CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW.

BELOW YOU'LL FIND VIDEOS TO HELP YOU IN CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE AND APOLOGETICS. KEEP IN MIND, JUST BECAUSE A VIDEO OR CHANNEL ANSWERS ONE QUESTION WELL, DOESN'T MEAN WE ENDORSE ALL THEIR VIDEOS OR MATERIALS, SINCE THERE CAN BE A WIDE VARIETY OF ANSWERS ON LESS ESSENTIAL TOPICS WHERE CULTURE AND FAITH COLLIDE.
