Absolute Truth for Our Times

December 8, 2021

The late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said, "We're seeing our country being disassembled." From the culture calling good evil and evil good, to the continuous denial of God by many in leadership, it can be hard to bear for Christians who love this country. On today's edition of Family Talk, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann explains that America, like Israel in Isaiah chapter 22, is being punished for rejecting God. We need to follow King Josiah's example found in Second Kings 22, when he rediscovered God's Word and urged the nation to repent. This could be the greatest moment for America as we herald the second coming of the Messiah.

On today's edition of Family Talk, Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, author of The Harbinger, declares that the Lord is using the identical template of harbingers on American soil, calling us to return to Him in repentance. Beginning with 9/11 to the redefinition of marriage and the emergence of COVID-19, God is shaking us to our core. Will we ever repent? Now, while in a breath-taking freefall, we've not only called evil good, but the culture delights in cancelling God's people.

For a Christian, Thanksgiving should be a lot more than just food, family, and football. On today's special edition of Family Talk, Pastor Chuck Swindoll, in a timeless sermon on the topic gratitude, reflects on Psalm 103, in which King David thanks God for pardoning his sin, redeeming his life from the pit, and crowning him with love and compassion. The hymn "It Is Well with My Soul" reveals why we are so grateful. "My sin, not in part but the whole; Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more; Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!" That's true redemption indeed!
