DO COLLEGE STUDENTS HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROTEST ISRAEL ON CAMPUS?

Discussed by Dr. Don Sweeting
with Dr. Don Sweeting (www.donsweeting.com/)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Are students and professors afforded the same free speech rights and the right of association?

Some demonstrators (protestors) have carried signs reading: BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Is this free speech? Dr. Sweeting explains why there are limits to free speech and how this could be considered crossing the line.

During the riots and looting of 2020, some surveys indicated that more than 40% of the younger generation agreed with looting. Is this really the mindset of the younger generation?

Have many students across America been indoctrinated instead of being educated? Dr. Sweeting believes it all began with taking God out of K-12 education and therein lies the problem.

Is simply being Christian enough?

How did students and professors at Colorado Christian University respond to the attacks from Hamas against the Jews on October 7, 2023?

Why should students consider attending Colorado Christian University? Dr. Sweeting discusses their in-person and online classes, especially for homeschool students still in high school.

ADVICE FOR IVY LEAGUE UNIVERSITIES: TAKE THE TRUMP DEAL BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE

Discussed by Victor Davis Hanson
with Victor Davis Hanson (www.victorhanson.com)

Does Harvard really want the Trump Administration to air their dirty laundry?

On Monday, April 21, 2025 Harvard University filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration over its withholding of $2 billion in federal grants, saying the action was “unlawful.” The Trump Administration hasn’t budged on its list of demands, which include holding antisemitic student and facility accountable to abolishing DEI offices/practices.

Today, Victor Davis Hanson with The Daily Signal offers insight into this issue.

INTRODUCTION INTO THE BOOK OF ROMANS

Discussed by Mark Lanier
with Biblical Literacy (www.Biblical-Literacy.com)

Day 1

Mark Lanier begins a new lesson series on the Book of Romans. This week, he discusses how to study an epistle, the purpose of letters (especially those in the Bible), and Paul’s extra-long introduction in the first chapter of Romans.

To view Mark Lanier’s video for this lesson, click here.

If you have a prayer request, need Scripture encouragement, or would like a copy of Mark’s lessons each week, email wantmore@biblical-literacy.org

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

Mark just wrapped up a short 2-lesson series on How to Study the Bible, which he reviews during this segment in order to begin his introduction to Romans. Note: Check out our archives if you missed those lessons.

Why did Mark pick Romans to continue his explanation of how to study the Bible? Mark discusses Saint Augustine’s book, “Augustine’s Confessions”, which tells the story of his conversion to Christianity, Martin Luther, who was a powerful force behind The Reformation Movement, and John Wesley, the Founder of the Methodist Church.

Tune in tomorrow as Mark completes his thoughts on How to Study an Epistle.

ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR RESURRECTION?

Discussed by Pastor Jarrett Stephens
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 1

Did you know that every person – believer and non-believer alike – will experience a resurrection? Did you know that every person – believer and non-believer alike – will stand before God in heaven?

This week, we are airing Pastor Jarrett Stephens’ special Easter Sermon from Sunday, April 20, 2025.

Scripture Passage: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

Find Pastor Jarrett Stephens’ sermon here.

Find Pastor Jarrett Stephens’ sermon notes here.

If you have questions about a sermon, please contact Champion Forest at questions@cfbc.org

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

Why do we “celebrate” the resurrection of Jesus? (Philippians 2)

What is the “day of the Lord”? Why was there so much confusion at the time of Jesus about the “last day”? Pastor Jarrett reads from the focused Scripture passage for this week and explains why he usually reads these verses at funeral or graveside services.

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, text the word JESUS to 77069 and a pastor or counselor from CFBC will call you back.

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Scripture Reference: Proverbs 28 (ESV)


Gracious and Forgiving Heavenly Father,

May your righteous saints stand strong and bold as lions for the cause of Christ.

Fill them with understanding and knowledge.

May they be stable, walking straight, understanding true justice.

Our land has been ruled by the wicked, those who say evil is good and good is evil.

O Lord, may your saints fight against evil and those who praise wickedness.

Fill them with the Holy Ghost, Father, so they may rebuke and resist evil.

Make our paths straight, O Lord, and grant us another day to stand with you, the Creator of All.

Hear our pleas, humbly lifted to your throne room by and through the name of your son, Jesus Christ.

Amen
