Israel and Hamas: What's a Christian to do? #worldviews #god
Today we are talking about the war that is going on between Israel and Hamas.
I am going to drill down to the primary WHY behind the current violence in Israel so you can better understand.
Finally, I want to address what you can do to make a difference.
We are followers of Jesus. So what do we do?

Is God really in Control When Bad Things Happen?
Is God really in Control When Bad Things Happen?
Many of you know I have cancer. I’ve been living with it for 3 years.
Most people, when they find out I have cancer Usually say something like,
“I’m so sorry.” I appreciate that. I really do. However, cancer has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. These past 3 years HAVE been hard. But I wouldn’t trade them for anything.
It all boils down to the sovereignty of God. By that I mean, God really is in control, even when I experience hard things. Especially, when I experience hard things.
Today, I’m just going to tell a few stories. Stories from the life of the man I admired more than any other. Through those stories I’m going to unpack God’s sovereignty in the hard moments of life. If you’re like me, they will encourage you as you face the challenges in your life.
Today, October 19, is my dad’s 102nd birthday. He’s celebrated his last
21 birthdays in heaven.
3 months ago the doctor said the cancer in my lymph nodes had pretty much disappeared. He said that what was left was probably benign.
The only remaining spot was in my bone. He said he could go after that with high dose radiation.
I’m not out of the woods. I still have cancer. It could metastasize again
without warning. But I have chosen to EMBRACE the will of our sovereign God. Whether I live or whether I die, nothing can happen to me apart from His sovereign will. I learned THAT from watching my dad face deep disappointment, facing the deaths of people he loved, and facing his own death.
Folks, when you receive HARD NEWS and can say, “Thank you Lord,”
When you can say in your PAIN, “I’m rejoicing in the Lord,”
When you can say in your DESPAIR, “Blessed be the name of the Lord,”
That’s what it means to EMBRACE the will of our sovereign God.
God is the issue—in every issue.

Separation of Church & State is not a One-Way Street
Folks, I am tired of the Freedom From Religion crowd
LYING to America about our religious freedom.
Today I am going to SHRED their arguments
and show how you can use
Separation of C&S
to argue FOR Religious speech.
A couple weeks ago,
Auburn’s head football coach, Hugh Freeze,
helped baptize about 200 students
on the spur of the moment.
It was completely voluntary.
But immediately, the Freedom from Religion Foundation,
from way up in Madison, Wisconsin, cried foul.
Let me quickly unpack this for you
and then I want to PLAY and SHRED 3 clips
for you from atheist podcaster,
Kyle Kulinski.
Coach Freeze should be applauded and supported
for his authenticity.
He loves Jesus. He loves the students, and it shows.
Jesus said we should shine our light.
That’s all Coach Freeze was doing.
In a day when most Christians hide their light,
folks, this guy’s an inspiration.
My dad, Bill Bright, once said,
“The average Christian risks offending God,
for fear of offending man.”
Not coach Freeze.
There are a lot of folks in addition to Kyle and FFRF
that are trying to keep you from shining your light….
We should all seek to be more like Coach Freeze
and start shining our light where God has planted us.
Not only is the future of our country at stake,
but the eternal souls of our neighbors are at stake.
Do you love your neighbors enough
to take the risk to shine the light of Jesus in the darkness?
Coach Freeze, you’re now one of my heroes.
So, this is for you from a CU fan.
War Eagle!

Governor goes from Crazy to Dangerous --- Especially if you’re black!
This is Brad Bright and the GITI podcast
where we show how God is the issue in every issue.
We can trace all our human problems
to a broken view of God.
And that’s why we say that
the problem in America today is not
that there it too much darkness,
The problem is there is not enough light.
Today we are talking about what the
Gov. of New Mexico did and said last week.
Politicians often say crazy things,
but New Mexico Gov. Lujan Grisham
recently crossed the line,
from crazy to dangerous!
Honestly, I don’t think she even realizes
the implications of what she said
and the devastating cultural implications.
But by the end of this podcast, you will,
and you will know what you can do!
What’s the solution?
YOU are the solution.
Only YOU can bring God back into the conversation
in your home,
your neighborhood,
and your community.
The choice is simple.
The choice is yours.
You can start this coming Halloween
by giving the children who knock on your door,
both what they want and what they need.
Give them a piece of candy
along with your favorite gospel tract for children.
If you don’t have a favorite, then go to BrightMedia.org
and order a pack of
the 4Keys4Kids in English or
Cuatro LLaves Para Niños in Spanish.
Do it because you care about America.
Do it because you care about gun violence.
Do it because you care about children.
God is the issue—in every issue.

CHRISTIANS & THE BALLOT BOX
Do you think Christians obsess over politics and the Ballot Box to the detriment of the Great Commission?
Last week a listener raised that issue, so today we are going to talk about it.
Hi, I’m Brad Bright. This is the God is the Issue Podcast, where we show how God is the Issue—in every issue.
For more go to www.BrightMedia.org
Last week a guy by the name of Randy took issue with my Memorial Day podcast. I suggested we could honor the fallen by praying for our country and by voting. He commented, “I think it’s our obsessive belief in the ballot box that has diminished the Great Commission for many Christians.” Do you agree or disagree with Randy? Does he have a valid point?
Mother Theresa invested her life in helping the dying poor of Calcutta to die with dignity because they were beings created in the very image of God. She was certainly obsessive about it. I’m glad she was. I suspect Randy is too.
William Wilberforce, a devout Christian who was a member of the British Parliament in the early 1800’s, lead the charge to end the slave trade throughout the British Empire. He destroyed his health in the process. He was obsessive about it. I’m glad he was.
I suspect Randy is too.
The Apostle Paul said, “To live is Christ!” That’s obsessive. I suspect Randy would agree that most Christians in America probably cannot relate to the Apostle Paul on this point. Their hearts are lukewarm.
Our primary calling as followers of Jesus is the Great Commission.
But as faithful stewards of everything God gives us, it does not stop there.
Randy, thanks again for your heartfelt comments. Your PASSION for the Great Commission is in the right place.

Fight for Your right to parent: the 2 Battles you MUST win!
As we celebrate Father’s Day this year,
I am acutely aware.
that our GOD-GIVEN rights as parents
are under assault.
Your children do not belong to the gov’t.
Your children do not belong to the LBGTQ.
Your children do not belong to your neighbor.
Your children do not belong to your pastor.
God gave your children to you.
Every parent should be alarmed.
They are coming for YOUR sons and daughters.
We must fight to hold onto our God-given right
to parent our children.
However, as I look at our culture,
the harsh reality is, there’s another,
even more important battle we are losing
—and we are losing badly.
So, my friends,
let’s fight for our God-given right
to parent our children.
But never forget to fight every day
for the time to parent your children well.
Fight for the time to pray for them.
Fight for the time to
develop your own relationship with God,
so you can model for your children
what it looks like.
SHOW your kids that God IS the issue,
in every area of life.
If you need a tool to help you do that,
Kathy and I wrote a family devotional,
Because God is Awesome!,
to help parents just like you
have conversations with their kids
about who God is and why it matters in their lives.
You can order a copy at BrightMedia.org
And never forget. God is the issue—in every issue.
Happy Father’s Day to all you dads out there.

HOW TO FIGHT LIKE JESUS
The question is, can Christians effectively fight
the anti-God agenda
without compromising God’s standards?
Let me reframe that another way—
01:00 Can we fight like Jesus?
Yes! It’s been done before and we can do it again—
IF we:
- work together
- are bold,
- are shrewd, as Jesus commanded in Matt 10:16
In any situation you we either rollover, react or reframe.
We can:
- “Surrender”
- say, “Stop it!”
- Or you can say, “Stop me if you can!”
Too many of our troops are on defense.
They are saying, “Stop it!”
We need to go on offense,
forcing the other side to try to stop us,
just like Jesus did.
Sometimes you have to play defense.
Sometimes you have to say “Stop it!”
But when you spend the majority of your time
saying, “Stop it!”
instead of saying, “Stop me if you can,”
it is practically impossible to win.
If you are not on offense, you can’t win.
That’s why the Apostle Paul
never told pagans to change their behavior.
He always challenged them to change their God.
That’s offense.
I’m not saying, “Never play defense.”
I’m saying, “Play more offense.”
Everywhere we turn today
there is a battle being waged against:
our values,
our children,
our families,
our country
and even God, Himself.
It is impossible for you to engage on every battle front.
But here are a few questions
we must each ask ourselves:
1. Do I want to play on defense or offense?
a. Most Christians are playing defense.
2. Who can I link arms with?
a. Jesus always sent out his disciples in pairs….
b. Never go alone. Go together.
3. What’s our plan?
a. Don’t do “Ready, Fire, Aim”
b. Invade Townhalls—Love Your Neighbor?
c. Invade School board mtgs – Love Your Neighbor?
4. Have we saturated it with prayer?
a. Do you think you are stronger than God?
There was one more revival coming to America,
and that it would be characterized by love.
It will be another Jesus Revolution.
It will be a Counter-Offensive of Love—
sharing the love of Christ,
both in word and deed.
Given the HATE AND ANGER
that permeates our culture today,
the Love of Christ is radically counter-culture.
Will you join the next Jesus Revolution of Love?
Will you come help change the world?
Or will you stay in the safety of the bleachers
and watch it happen?
The choice is yours.
Let’s make the next Jesus Revolution,
a true counter-offensive of love!
If you want to be a part of the next Jesus Revolution,
I’m going to ask you to do 3 things.
1) like, share and subscribe to this podcast.
That helps us get the message out
because of the algarithims.
2) get on your knees tonight
and ask God to show
how you can go on offense.
If you’re serious, He will.
3) recruit others to come with you.
This is absolutely critical.
Jesus always brought others with him.
So, Fight like Jesus—
first on your knees
and then Together.
If you have any questions,
or you just want to tell me
what God is telling you to do,
go to BrightMedia.org and send me a message.
I’ll do my best to get back to you in a timely fashion.
God IS the issue—in EVERY issue.
So, let’s go out make Him the issue—TOGETHER.

IF YOU DON’T NEED THE CREDIT, YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!
A great man once told me:
“If you don’t need the credit, you can change the world.”
In today’s world,
where the desire for power, prestige, and fame
are as prevalent inside the church
as they are outside its walls,
that statement caught my attention.
The man who shared that bit of wisdom with me
actually did change the world,
but most people don’t even know his name,
and the thing is,
he would be totally fine with that.
As his son, however,
I hope you will indulge me as I share who he was
and 4 things I learned from watching him
changed my life.
Not just my life, but the lives of millions.
To this day, wherever I travel,
in all corners of the globe,
the one thing I hear, again and again and again, is:
“Brad, your dad changed my life.”
Remember:
If you don’t need the credit, you can change the world.
Make sure you know who God really is
—not just who you think he is.
Work hard to keep your focus in the right place
—fix your eyes on Jesus.
Seek to love Jesus passionately.
That was Bill Bright’s real genius.
GOD really IS the issue.

4 Significant Things YOU can do in response to Gay Pride Month
I can almost feel the collective sigh of relief.
For the past month secular culture
has been aggressively PUSHING its godless sexuality
on you and your family.
The question is: What now?
I’m Brad Bright
and this is the GOD is the Issue podcast,
where we show that
GOD really is the issue in every issue.
I have great news for you!
There are 4 significant things
YOU can do in response to Gay Pride Month.
But first, let’s talk about what’s going on:
what HAS happened, and
where we go from here.
Clearly understanding the situation
is always the first step in changing culture.
In this battle, one side WILL win,
and one side WILL lose.
So, my question for you is:
Which side do you want to be on?
Which side do you want your kids on?
If you want to be on the winning side,
you need to engage.
Yes, YOU!
We NEED to fight. We MUST fight.
But we need to fight like Jesus.
What does that even mean?
He never compromised TRUTH,
but He also never compromised LOVE.
What you believe about God
will determine which one you believe is true.
That’s true of all your neighbors and co-workers.
4 RECOMMENDATIONS:
So here are my 4 recommendations
for how to respond to Pride Month:
1) Vote. Especially vote in every school board election.
Better yet, run for your local school board,
or recruit someone else to run.
(LeadershipInstitute.org)
2) Vote with your wallet.
Use your wallet to encourage good behavior,
and to discourage bad behavior.
Be intentional about thinking this way
until it becomes second nature.
3) Make God the issue—in every issue.
There’s nothing wrong with
racism, abortion, or same-sex-marriage
—unless God exists.
4) Pray.
God is smarter and stronger
than you will ever be.
You are foolish not to consult with Him.
If you will begin to intentionally do these 4 things,
I believe we can begin to turn America around
—one community at a time.
God IS the issue.

I've Blown it Too: Jesus, Politics, and the Gospel
I’ve Blown It Too: Jesus, Politics, and the Gospel
Our country is tearing itself apart.
Even within the Church, there are
competing ideas about what we should do.
Today I want to talk about that.
Jesus gave all 3 commands.
You can’t follow Jesus
and embrace 2 his commands but ignore the 3rd.
You either do what he asked you to do, or you don’t.
Partial obedience is also partial disobedience.
We do this by making God’s heart our heart,
both for the hurting AND the lost.
Just like Jesus.
God is the issue—in every issue.

5:32 Leaders of the Abolitionist Movement
8:46 What does it mean to love God …
Christians, the Constitution, our BIGGEST Mistake!
Romans 13:1 says,
“Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities.”
Does that mean that apart from clear violations of scripture
we have to do everything we are told to do
by any government official?
Does it mean you can’t gather to worship during COVID
simply because a government official say, “NO!”?
Does “Separation of Church and State” really mean
you can’t pray or talk about God or the Bible in the classroom?
Does it mean a high school coach
can’t pray on the 50-yard line
because a school administrator tells him “No!”?
Is it ever okay with GOD
to engage in civil disobedience?
Is it even civil disobedience
to disobey a government official
in order to UPHOLD the US Constitution?
Great questions. Let’s talk about it.

THE BORDER, COMPASSION, AND JESUS
The problem in America is not that there is too much darkness,
The problem is there is not enough light.
That is why God is the issue—in every issue.
Today I will be talking about the Border, Compassion and Jesus.
I am going to talk about what’s going on at the border,
what it means to be compassionate on this issue,
and what Jesus has to do with it.
The same Jesus who said,
“Blessed are the merciful for they shall receive mercy,”
also said,
“Be as shrewd as snakes but as innocent as doves.”
In other words, compassion without wisdom is folly.
Many open-border folks accuse
build-the-wall folks of lacking compassion.
But those who wish to throw the border wide open lack wisdom.
0:50 I used to support an open border.
3:45 Jesus said, “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
06:17 The United States government is completely incapable
of solving the underlying problem.

The One Good Thing About ChatGPT Twisting The Bible
With Brad Bright. Speaker & Author.
As always, Like & Subscribe if you have found this podcast helpful.
A lot of Christians are reacting again.
This time, because some folks are using
ChatGPT to rewrite the Bible.
Now, of course, that’s not a good thing…
However, I’m encouraged. Let me explain why.
Oscar Wilde, who wrote The Picture of Dorian Gray, said,
“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”
Most of us have heard that quote,
and maybe even uttered it.
However, that is not the complete quote.
Mr. Wilde’s full statement is a bit more—
shall we say, descriptive.
But I will circle back to that in a few moments.
First, let me say, that if Oscar Wilde was right,
then Christians should feel very flattered.
So, if you are concerned about ChatGPT twisting scriptures,
start viewing it as an opportunity to
engage the people around you in spiritual conversations
about what the Bible DOES say.
Not by LECTURING them with your finger in the air,
but by graciously offering them something better.
However, unlike the federal government,
you can’t give away what you don’t own.
So, make sure you are daily and weekly,
equipping yourself to have those spiritual conversations,
by being in God’s Word.
God is the issue—in every issue.
So, let’s use ChatGPt
to go out and MAKE him the issue.

Dylan Mulvaney & Budweiser - God is the Issue Podcast
Dylan Mulvaney & Budweiser have been in the headlines recently.
For those of you who missed it, Dylan is a man who thinks he is a woman.
He is a Tik Tok influencer with a huge following.
Budweiser decided it would be a great idea to make a digital ad with Dylan to promote Budweiser.
A huge backlash erupted. Since then Budweiser has been in full damage control mode.
That’s where we are today.
Remember, Jesus always showed compassion to lost sheep,
but he was never afraid to speak truth—especially to power.
Be more like Jesus!
And never forget, God IS the issue—in every issue.

What ties Easter and Science together?
Brad Bright explains the how Science and Christianity are tied together and what does tie Science and Christianity together, forever!
QUESTION: Has anyone ever said to you, “I don’t believe in God, I believe in Science,” as though science and God are somehow incompatible? How did that make you feel? How did you respond?
QUESTION: Let me ask you are harder question: what can you do today to help ensure you never hear those words come out of the mouth of your child as he or she grows into adulthood?
Your children and grandchildren will not be taught this in public school, and they probably won’t be taught this even in Christian school. I doubt you were taught this. I know I wasn’t.
