Truths That Transform

Should Christians be involved in politics? We live in a culture that's becoming increasingly hostile toward Christianity and the revealed truth of God. As Francis Schaeffer famously asked, echoing Ezekiel 33, "How shall we then live?" On this program, we'll see what it means to live as Christians in an alien world. Many have suggested that it means retreating into catacombs. But in reality, it means prayerfully pushing forward against the tide.

There was a time when it was normal to profess Christianity and adherence to Christian morality. But our culture has turned hostile toward many Judeo-Christian principles. Pastor Rob Pacienza offers Biblical insight and encouragement in his commentary.

DJKM has relaunched our D. James Kennedy Center for Christian Statesmanship in Washington D.C. To find out why and what makes someone a Christian statesman watch this "Truths That Transform" special report.

We recently relaunched our D. James Kennedy Center for Christian Statesmanship in Washington D.C. It's a vital ministry you'll be hearing more about in upcoming days. But why are we doing this? And what is a Christian statesman, anyway? On today's program, we'll explain. Dr. Kennedy recognized that our nation was perishing for a lack of Christian statesman. As we carry out his vision and mission, a renewed commitment to his Center for Christian Statesmanship has become a priority.

It's common for some Christians to believe that they should stay out of politics because it's "worldly." Even some preachers think their focus should be merely on preaching the gospel. But Jesus Himself refutes that thinking. Pastor Rob Pacienza looks at the second half of the Great Commission in his "Truths That Transform" commentary.

We examine the close connection between Christianity and our founding documents in this excerpt from the new documentary, "We the People." It's a production of Providence Forum, an outreach of D. James Kennedy Ministries.

The Biblical principles of the Protestant reformers who settled in America ultimately gave birth to the covenants and constitutions that made this nation the freest and most prosperous on earth. But that was a byproduct of their work. Check out what Pastor Rob Pacienza believes was their key concern. Watch now!

In this excerpt of Providence Forum's newest documentary, "We the People," you'll discover some of the Christian leaders who gave us the U.S. Constitution and a system of government that has been the envy of freedom-loving people everywhere. Providence Forum is an outreach of D. James Kennedy Ministries.

This week, America marks the 291st birthday of George Washington, widely known as the father of our country. But where one generation grew up venerating Washington and his fellow founders, more recently they've been maligned and put under a cloud of suspicion. On today's program, we'll look at the real George Washington as well as a look at how so many great Christian leaders, beginning with the settling of America, brought us a system of government that has stood the test of time as the most remarkable bulwark of freedom on earth. We'll share a portion of the new documentary from our Providence Forum Foundation of American Liberty series, We the People.

Cutting ourselves off from anything in our past is what C.S. Lewis referred to as "chronological snobbery"—which is basically the idea that we know everything today, and those who came before us were ignorant and backward. Pastor Rob Pacienza looks at where this arrogant and pervasive attitude is taking us.

A look at the current cultural attack on marriage and its impact on society in this "Truths That Transform" special report.

Marriage has fallen upon difficult times in America. Divorces are more prevalent than ever, and now even marriage itself is under constant redefinition. Why is that important—and how does it affect all of us? On today's program, we'll look at the blessings of marriage—and how God offers those blessings to you. And we'll see that marriage is designed by God to be the fundamental building block of our society—so when marriage is undermined or attacked, so is society.

Many of our biggest cultural battles are about definitions. How do we define things like man, woman, and marriage, and according to what standard? Pastor Rob Pacienza looks at why we can't change what marriage is any more than we can change what gravity is. Watch now!

Though created by God, marriage is under an all-out attack in our culture, especially from the revolutionaries on the Marxist Left. For the details, watch this "Truths That Transform" special report.

Marriage was created by God, and it was the first thing he instituted in His creation. For thousands of years, nobody seriously questioned the basis of marriage or its value. But in recent decades, a revolutionary ideology has come along which aims to tear apart such basic foundations. On today's program, we will investigate the importance of traditional, Biblical marriage—and the consequences of abandoning it.

The crowd cheered and music played as President Joe Biden signed into law the so-called "Respect for Marriage Act." But to be clear, this new law is anything but respect for marriage. Pastor Rob Pacienza will tell you why. Watch now!

One lie that pro-abortionists tell about Christians is that they only care about the baby in the womb, and not beyond. But the facts paint a far different picture. Watch now!

On Roe v. Wade's 50th anniversary, we celebrate the overturning of that dreadful ruling by the Supreme Court. On this program, we dismantle some of the egregious lies that the abortion industry in America has depended upon—especially the lie that pro-life Christians are only concerned about the baby in the womb, and not beyond. The facts paint a far different picture of how Christians actually address the sanctity of human life.

42% of deaths worldwide are due to abortion. That is astonishing. Thankfully the Supreme Court has returned this issue to the people to decide. But whatever individual states decide, God has already spoken. Pastor Rob Pacienza looks at how grace and truth come together in Jesus even in abortion.

Pastor Rob Pacienza recently sat down with Janet Porter, the architect and driving force behind the "heartbeat law." This lifesaving breakthrough legislation is now law in some 16 states and counting.

Fifty years ago, the Supreme Court of the United States legalized abortion in the faulty Roe v. Wade ruling. Last summer it was finally overturned. Yet now, more than ever, Christians must speak out to protect life and give a voice to the voiceless until abortion is unthinkable. In this program, you'll meet dynamic pro-life leader Janet Porter, the architect of the first "heartbeat bills" that outlaw abortion when baby's heartbeat becomes detectable. And we'll examine the duty of Christians to get involved and speak out so that another abomination like this is never foisted upon our nation.

This anniversary of "Roe v. Wade" is different than the previous forty-nine because the Supreme Court overruled "Roe." But for many decades, Christians were told—often by other Christians—to give up the fight. Pastor Rob Pacienza explores that thinking and the faithfulness of those who never gave up in his "Truths That Transform" commentary.

Dr. Jeff Myers, the author of the book "Truth Changes Everything," writes: "America has passed a tipping point. A majority of young Americans now say that there is no absolute truth, rather, it is up to each individual to define their own truth." Dr. Jerry Newcombe looks at the problem and offers the solution in his "For God and Country" commentary.

America's founders believed a vibrant and free Christian church was essential to self-government and prosperity. In this special report, see how advocates of secularism are working to turn all that on its head.

This week on Truths That Transform, we take a look at the Spiritual State of the Nation. Join us as we look at the state of religious liberty in America—and what's most needed from you and me in this cultural moment—on the next Truths That Transform.
