#876: How to Have True Freedom (2019)

Today we talk about TRUE FREEDOM. It’s common today to think that freedom means being able to do whatever you want without consequences. But that is a false and very destructive idea that actually leads many, many people into slavery. God’s view of freedom is very different, and is illustrated by the biblical history of His freeing the ancient nation of Israel from slavery in Egypt. He used miracles to break them free from bondage, and then gave them His law, called “the perfect law of liberty.”...

#872: How Settled Is Climate Change Science?, Lessons From the Korean War, Experiencing a Nuclear Attack, and More (2017)

Donald Trump pulled America out of the Paris climate change agreement. Is this, as some people say, dooming Earth to climatic disaster?

One source says that it’s at least partly because of the way America fought the Korean War back in th...
