Gateway leaders face congregation, first time since Morris resignation Jun 24, 2024

Show notes

Yesterday morning, a Gateway Church elder asked the congregation to pray for Morris’s accuser and her family, the entire Morris family, and Gateway Church staff members. There have been many recent examples of the “clergy abuse scandal” that are reaching across our secularized culture. Today we start by asking ourselves the hard question, “If God is all-powerful and all-knowing, why won’t he protect the innocent?” We’ll continue the painful yet essential conversation tomorrow.

Show notes

Autocracies around the world caused last year to see the highest number of state-based conflicts in the world since 1946. Russia is attempting to erase evangelical churches in occupied Ukraine, while Iran and China are accelerating their nuclear programs.

Are Hezbollah and Israel on the brink of all-out war? Jun 20, 2024

Show notes

The terrorist group Hezbollah ramped up its attacks on Israel last week to their most intense level since the war began, then resumed them again Tuesday afternoon. If Hezbollah launches an all-out war with Israel, the IDF would respond in a way that would devastate Lebanon as well. Why, then would Hezbollah’s leaders want a war that can only harm the people they claim to serve? And what can the American people learn from this situation?

Robert Morris, Tony Evans, and the path to spiritual victory Jun 18, 2024

Show notes

Robert Morris, senior pastor of Gateway Church, stands accused by a woman of sexually abusing her as a child. Dr. Tony Evans, pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship, recently announced he was stepping down from his pastoral duties for a “healing and restoration” time. We should remember that private sin never stays private and that the enemy will use our failings as publicly as he can to damage as many people as he can.

IVF, Southern Baptists, and moral relativism Jun 17, 2024

Show notes

The Southern Baptist Convention’s annual meeting adopted a resolution on in vitro fertilization last week, voting to “reaffirm the unconditional value and right to life of every human being, including those in an embryonic stage.” The vote was widely understood to “condemn” or “oppose” the practice, but the discussion has more to it than that. Today we dive into three positions on IVF and the cultural issue behind this debate.

Supreme Court rules that abortion pills are legal Jun 14, 2024

Show notes

On Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously against a challenge that would have made it more difficult for people to receive the abortion drug mifepristone. But while their decision may be disappointing to those who believe life starts at conception, the reasoning behind the Court’s conclusion is important to consider. Today, we discuss the Court’s ruling and how we can use it as a reminder that our calling to stand for life with truth, love, and empathy remains unchanged and unaffected.

Yahya Sinwar’s “brutal calculation”: Civilian bloodshed in Gaza helps Hamas Jun 13, 2024

Show notes

Yahya Sinwar, Hamas’s military leader in Gaza, told Hamas officials recently, “We have the Israelis right where we want them.” There has been a steep jump in antisemitic attacks around the world since the Nova Music Festival attack in Israel. Much of this is fueled by outrage over Palestinian casualties resulting from the IDF’s attempts to eradicate Hamas in Gaza. But here’s what those who hate Israel don’t understand: Hamas’s leader wants Palestinians to die.

But what about protecting your personal data and privacy? It all comes down to trust.
