The Church's Fight Includes Politics
Gary emphasizes that the role of Christians in the political sphere is crucial for maintaining the proper authority and limitations of civil government. He critiques the notion that the church's fight is separate from political engagement, arguing that both realms are interconnected. The historical context of church involvement in politics shows how pastors should address political issues from a biblical perspective to guide their congregations effectively.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 115 Gary explores the importance of understanding the historical context of biblical texts, as they were written for specific audiences at specific times.

Don't Know Much About the Constitution or Economics

The Paralysis of Pessimism
Christianity is a future-oriented worldview. Who inherits what we leave behind? How does our view of the future affect our attitude towards the future? God is the Author of the past, the present, and the future. He owns everything, including time. Does it matter if we live fearfully or hopefully? Very much so, as Gary points out in this important talk from several years ago.

Creating a "Just" Society
Gary responds to a recent article by Christian apologist Greg Koukl about Christians being involved in culture and politics. Koukl strangely recommends not using Scripture to make arguments in moral debates, but instead using "common grace and natural revelation." Gary points out that this is a) nothing new, and b) begging the question because who gets to define what's "common" or "natural"? It's essentially every man for himself.

Know Your Audience
Gary responds to a recent video clip from Lila Rose about abortion and the morality involved with the abortion debate. Every debate in culture is about much more than defeating the opponent, and Gary shows how he would argue the topic and recommends listeners learn the approach taught by Dr. Greg Bahnsen in his three-volume apologetics series that teaches how to "push the antithesis."

Why Don't the Literalists Interpret Ezekiel 38-39 Literally?
Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 112 Gary points out that many Bible prophecy writers, who claim to interpret the Bible "literally," don't actually do so. This is especially true of the so-called Battle of Gog and Magog in Ezekiel 38-39. This battle is said to be fought with primitive weapons in ancient countries, with the goal of plundering gold, silver, cattle, and goods. The literalists seldom take these details literally.

Progressives and Presuppositionalists
Gary highlights a few "non-negotiables" that he found online from a self-proclaimed "progressive pastor." Apparently, even progressives have limits to their open-mindedness, but this pastor can't appeal to the Bible he claims to believe, or to the "Jesus" he claims to follow, to bolster his own "progressive" agenda.

Transgenderism Weighed, Measured, and Found Wanting
Gary weighs, measures, and analyzes the debate over transgender sports with track and field events. His expertise in this sport is both personal and deep. Gary threw the shot put competitively through high school, college, and at the masters' level. He makes it obvious how ridiculous it is to argue that there is no inherent genetic difference between men and women.

What Did Jesus Mean by "A Long Time"?
Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 111 Gary answers a recent critic who questions whether he is a Christian. When Jesus says "a long time" in Matthew 24 and 25, does this indicate that He means people thousands of years in the future? Is He actually referring to a completely different audience than the one He was directly speaking to in the first century?

The Inescapable Fact of Religion
In this continuation of his first lecture given to a high school class, Gary points out that religion will always exist in society. If a culture does not recognize the biblical God, something else will always take His place. Even atheism is a religion, despite the denials of its adherents.
