From the Frontline-Episode 152-How the World War of Worldviews Affects Us

From the Frontline: How the World War of Worldviews Affects Us

We will be discussing the foundational importance of worldviews and how it helps us make sense of the conflicts confronting us today. What is behind the clash of civilizations and conflicts raging on university campuses, in law courts, legislatures, on the streets, in the media and in many congregations, seminaries and homes? What are the worldviews underlying the various conflicts in the world today? How do these worldviews determine our values, influence how we think and guide how we live? What are the basic sets of beliefs and presuppositions which influence every decision and answer key questions?

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

Romans 12:2

From the Frontline: Creation Evangelism

We will be interviewing Creation Science Engineer and Author, Dr. Philip Stott on How Christians should proclaim the Everlasting Gospel. How important is Genesis for an understanding of the Gospel and for effective Evangelism? How can we counter the prevailing prejudices for evolutionism? Is it consistent for a Christian to be a “theistic evolutionist?” What does the Bible say in terms of how God created the earth? What are some of the scientific evidences that we can use in our daily conversations to challenge peoples’ thinking on Scripture and Science?

“Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools.”

Romans 1:21-22

From The Frontline-Episode 149-Macedonian Call to World Changers

Growing out of our Mission’s decades of boots-on-the-ground first-hand experience in the war zones and conflict areas of this world, we have seen the need to call Christians back to the whole counsel of God, to understand the world war of world-views raging in our world today, the clash of civilisations, the culture war, to train world changers who will not be conformed any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of their mind (Romans 12:2), so that we can effectively make disciples of all nations, teaching obedience to all things that the Lord has commanded (Matthew 28:18-20)

From The Frontline-Episode 148-Without a Vision a People Perish.

Without a clear purpose and aim to inspire one’s actions, a people, or nation, perish. This is the message of Proverbs 29:18. Do you have a vision of the world’s need? Do you have a vision of the threats which confront us? Do you have a vision of God? Do you have a vision of who God is? Do you have a vision of what God can do? Do you have a vison of what God can do through a prayer fellowship? Do you have a vison of what God can do through you? “Where there is no vision, the people perish…” Proverbs 29:18

From The Frontline-Episode 146-The Legacy and Vision of Bill Bathman

From the Frontline: The Missionary Legacy and Vision of Bill Bathman

Surrounded as we are by such an inspiring legacy of missionary achievements, how should we then live? 2020 has included extensive building expansions at our Mission Headquarters. As our multipurpose hall includes exhibits of extraordinary accomplishments and answers to prayer, we are inspired and encouraged. What are some of the most momentous answers to prayer that we have witnessed during these past decades? What guidance can we find for the future in the examples of those who have gone before us?

“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our Faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the Cross, despising the shame and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Hebrews 12:1-2

From The Frontline-Episode 145-Do You Want to Change Your World

From the Frontline: Do You Want to Change Your World?

What is wrong with our world? More importantly, why are so many things going wrong? Is there an agenda? To what extent do worldviews play a role? How can we best understand the times? What can we practically do to make a positive difference? How can we work to fulfil the Great Commission in our life time? What practical steps can we take to put feet to our Faith, to be salt and light in society?

“All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord and all the families of the nations shall worship before You. For the Kingdom is the Lord’s and He rules over the nations.”

Psalm 22:27-28

From The Frontline-Episode 144-Can We Trust the Experts

From the Frontline: Can We Trust the Experts?

2020 has been an extraordinary year. Over 3 billion people worldwide were placed on Lockdown because of the predictions and prescriptions of experts. Did time prove the expert’s projections right or wrong? Was their cure worse than the disease? Who defines what makes an expert? What is the track record of these experts? Where do these fact-checkers, or fact-selectors come from? To what extent are they checking facts, or are they actually fact-blockers, censors and manipulators? How can we discern truth from error? What can we learn from history? What can we learn from the Bible?

“Everyone will deceive his neighbour and will not speak the truth; they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves to commit iniquity.”

Jeremiah 9:5

 

From The Frontline-Episode 143-Can We Trust the Textbooks

From the Frontline: Can We Trust the Textbooks?

Education has become a battleground. Anyone who believes that education can be neutral is mistaken. Ideas have consequences. Actions flow from thought patterns. How reliable are the textbooks in most schools? Should government be controlling educational institutions? Who should be responsible for the education of the next generation? Can we trust what we see and read in museums? Are historians all in agreement on what is most important and on the lessons to be learned from history? Have the experts always proved to be right? What about films which purport to be “based on a true story”? or “inspired by real events”? How can we distinguish between real history and fake history? What resources are available to help us to ensure that our children receive real education and not secular humanist indoctrination?

“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world and not according to Christ.”

Colossians 2:8
