Christians in Culture
Within the world’s culture and in the individual cultures of nations there are issues and agendas impacting those cultures for good and for evil. Many of the issues are those which carry on the war against God and sway both men and nations from the pursuit of what God would have his people understand. Many Christians are caught up on the negative side of these issues because the Church universal is uninformed or, in the extreme, simply not paying attention. If Christians are truly going to be salt in culture Sunday through Saturday, we are required to study to show ourselves approved.

The Good Guys on the Environment
One of our favorite sites is the Cornwall Alliance For the Stewardship of Creation. Led by our longtime friend, Dr. E. Calvin Beisner. Cornwall consistently demolishes the lousy political, scientific, and 'theological' positions that fallen environmentalists seek to foist on the world. For an example of Cornwall's fine work, check out their December 14, 2011 newsletter at http://www.cornwallalliance.org/newsletter/issue/newsletter-december-14-2011/

US Students Get an F in History
"American students are less proficient in their nation’s history than in any other subject...with most fourth graders unable to say why Abraham Lincoln was an important figure." And the Church's knowledge of our rich Christian history is even more appalling. A great DVD series, whether for personal enrichment or Sunday School classes, is Wallbuilders’ The American Heritage Series with historian David Barton. From the Separation of Church and State to the Civil Rights Movement, from the heroism of our Founding Fathers to the building of our nation's monuments, this series will inspire every American to reclaim the Godly, true story of our nation.
