THE FUTURE OF AMERICA

Discussed by Dr. Thomas Lindsay
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)

For years now, many in the media have reported that the Declaration of Independence is just a “beautiful lie” written by wealthy white men simply to protect their wealth and economic interests.

Today, Dr. Thomas Lindsay refutes this claim and urges all Americans to learn TRUE American history – the good, the bad, and the ugly. Dr. Lindsay is a senior fellow for Next Generation Texas at the Texas Public Policy Foundation.

Click here to read Dr. Lindsay’s op-ed in the Cannon, an online publication of the Texas Public Policy Foundation.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Did historian Charles Beard first opine the “beautiful lie” in 1913, but later recant?

Why are more and more people (specifically young people) refusing to celebrate July 4th? Dr. Thomas Lindsay discusses the negative results of liberal teachings.

Why were the words “all men are created equal” written in the Declaration of Independence? Did the Declaration’s principles include or exclude black people?

Why don’t young people today know the TRUE history of America? Dr. Thomas Lindsay gives some very sad statistics…

What does the future hold for America if we do not know the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution? Dr. Thomas Lindsay passionately says: “You can’t defend what you don’t understand.”

DAVID’S TAKE ON ROMANS 8:1 “NO CONDEMNATION”

Discussed by David Fleming
with Lanier Theological Library (www.LanierTheologicalLibrary.org)

Day 2

WHAT IS THE RESULT OF SIN? CONDEMNATION. WHAT DID WE GAIN FROM CHRIST’S DEATH ON THE CROSS? NO CONDEMNATION!

This week, former CFBC Pastor David Fleming subs in for Mark keeping the theme of Romans going with his take on the phrase “No Condemnation” from Romans 8:1.

If you missed Mark’s lesson on Romans 8:1 from January 18, 2026, check out the archives on our homepage. The lesson was aired during the week of January 26-30.

To view David Fleming’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:

What is the result of sin? Condemnation. What did we gain from Christ’s death on the cross? No condemnation! (John 3:18)

Do you feel deep sadness for those who are not saved? Listen as David Fleming gives some encouragement to us as we share our faith with others.

What is the importance of “justification”?

Why doesn’t God hold our sins over our heads? Why does He “forgive and forget”? Are you doing the same?

Why do some people view the cross as “shameful”?

PRAYER

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

Merciful and Forgiving Father,

Accept my humble prayer. May I not be rushed or distracted today, but totally focused on you. You are my Creator and Sustainer.

Thank you for redeeming my soul.

Today, I lift up friends and family who are lost and wandering. They are so far from you. Protect their eternal souls and call out to them.

Like the Prodigal son’s father, may I look for their return, never ceasing to cry out for their salvation.

Thank you, Father, for a grandmother who never ceased to pray for me. Thank you for a mother who never doubted your power and your love for her son.

Father, reach out to the lost. Lord Jesus, knock on the door of their hearts. Holy Spirit, draw them close.

May today be the day. May now be the time.

Resting in the assurance of the love of Christ,

Amen
