  • It’s Not Whether but Which. Xn Nationalism of what?

    Christian Nationalism straw man.You do not deal with any of the serious arguments, just created a punching bag. So tell me if we do not base are laws on God’s law which of men’s reasons and morality should we base our laws on? God doesn’t care about that? have you read Psalm two? If a civil magistrate becomes a Christian he comes to you as a pastor and says how should I now govern? Are you going to say sorry that’s Christian nationalism I don’t have anything to tell you? Definition is Christiani... more

  • Thinking Christian-ly

    Understanding the signs of the times…and knowing with wisdom what to do. This podcast is so helpful for helping me cultivate correct orthodoxy. The culture challenges Christians on all sides - thinking correctly is not easy any more, and issues change lighting fast…it takes work to keep up - listen here for help. My life turned around in the late 1990’s precisely because I started listening to Dr. White & Meck Community Church. You can get the same accurate instruction on this podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CCP217: On Online Sports Betting
Q: What else would you add?
White says the Bible does not directly prohibit gambling, but he identifies principles of earning rather than gambling for money and practicing sound stewardship. He argues churches should teach those principles in a balanced way and help people harmed by gambling addiction.
CCP217: On Online Sports Betting
Q: What do you think it is about sports betting, particularly online sports betting, that makes it feel different from perhaps other forms of gambling?
White says betting apps frame wagering as entertainment, emphasize research in ways that create an illusion of control, merge gambling with fans' attachment to teams, normalize betting through sports media, and reward heavy users with VIP perks.
CCP216: On Having Christian Candidates in Both Political Parties
Q: What do you attribute to the rise in Democratic candidates appealing to their faith, and how should Christians think about this trend when voting?
The rise is multifaceted: it's about candidates being open about their faith, the recognition that Christians exist in both parties, and a cultural shift where some voters want a faith-informed approach to public life. Christians should assess candidates by biblical values and think through issues biblically rather than defaulting to party loyalty.
CCP215: On Polygamy
Q: Is polygamy sinful or simply not recommended according to biblical teaching?
Polygamy is presented in biblical history as tolerated or regulated in the Old Testament, but condemned in the New Testament as outside God's design for marriage; thus, it is not endorsed for Christians and is treated as a context to be navigated with pastoral care.
CCP215: On Polygamy
Q: Could you talk a little bit more about the Leverite marriage and its relevance today?
Leverite marriage is described as a specific social arrangement intended to preserve lineage and care for a childless widow, but it is distinct from modern marriage norms and should be understood within Mosaic law while recognizing that Christian theology ultimately centers on monogamy under the New Covenant.
