Discerning What Is Best with Dr Rex M Rogers

Everyone is patriotic, though listening to the Left today you might not know this. The key is what we are patriotic about - and for America, this is our founding ideals: freedom of religion, freedom of speech, assembly, and association, life, liberty, and justice for all. Developing a responsible Christian patriotism is one way to express our gratitude for a country for whom so many have sacrificed to give us so much.

Isolated Believers

God created human beings for community, fellowship with him and with other people. Consequently, isolation, or being or feeling isolated, truly alone even if in a crowd is not normal and not healthy. Same is true in the Christian Church, the Body of Christ. Believers need one another and that's one reason God commissioned the church in the New Testament. But there are isolated believers all over the world, particularly in countries throughout the Middle East and North Africa where religions, rulers, and regimes unfriendly to the Christian faith exercise dominance, often suppression or oppression, and even persecution. There are Christian believers in these countries who are truly alone, surrounded by people but with no others sharing their Christian faith. SAT-7 works to broadcast Christian teaching, encouragement, and hope to these isolated believers throughout the Middle East and North Africa.

Biblical Illiteracy, Ideology, Dividing the Church, America

It's no secret the USA is divided, dividing, fragmenting, tribalizing, and think of some other word about confusion and disagreement. There are reasons for this. Sadly, this confusion and division is evident in the Church, not just culture. Roots of this are biblical illiteracy, lack of understanding of Christian theology and Christian worldview, and this is the Church, let alone culture. We live in a post-Christian culture, so the USA's founding Judeo-Christian values are being jettisoned day by day, no God, no truth, no accountability, no meaning, no hope. Once you toss out the God referenced in the Declaration of Independence, then anything goes, and that is what we are seeing, "everyone doing what is right in their own eyes."
