Year-end Letter TCW Short Takes Resource Form

“Listening to you by radio has been such a blessing to me in helping me to see the changes in the world around me and become equipped to address those changes biblically.” ~ Thomasine, VA

“Love listening to the radio broadcast and knowing that what I hear is the truth.’ It’s very hard nowadays to hear the plain truth.” ~ Krishna, TX “I really appreciate the weekly challenge to raise the bar in our relationship with Christ and encouragement to become a more informed, and more refined Christian through your exceptional programs. Keep it up!” ~ Kimberley, OK

Dear Friends of The Christian Worldview, Even though we live in a challenging world, one that mostly rejects God and His Word and is marked by conflict and sin, for the follower of Christ, each day is an opportunity. An opportunity to draw near to God (James 4:8), to love our spouse and neighbors (Colossians 3:19; Matthew 22:39), to raise our children in the “discipline and instruction of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4), to share the gospel (Romans 1:16), to disciple or encourage another (Matthew 28:19), to do good in Christ’s name (Galatians 6:10).

Paul wrote to the church in Ephesus about opportunity when he said, “Be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:15-16). The days are evil. There is great division in our country and increasing compromise in the church. And yet God desires that believers make the most of our time to live for and glorify Him … and we are promised that He gives us the ability to do that (Philippians 2:13). My mother, who just turned 85 and has made a deep spiritual impact on me, often reminds me that The Christian Worldview is an opportunity. It’s an opportunity “to sharpen the biblical worldview of Christians and to share the good news that all people can be reconciled to God through faith in Christ.” That is our mission. It’s about impacting both believers and nonbelievers with the life- and eternity-changing truth of God’s Word. We pursue this mission through producing a weekly radio program and podcast that is heard by listeners across the country and even around the world. We also select and send out biblicallysound resources for adults and children, provide content on our website and social media platforms, and organize conferences and events. As an all-volunteer organization, we are often pressed trying to keep up. We get tired and sometimes weary. But then we are reminded what an incredible opportunity it is to spur on ourselves and others to “think biblically and live accordingly.” ...continued on back

NEW! TCW SHORT TAKES

Many of you remind us of this great opportunity. The letters, comments, and gifts we receive each week encourage us to keep on keeping on. And by God’s grace we will, for as long as He allows.

We are excited to announce a NEW element of the ministry called TCW Short Takes. These are bitesize audio clip highlights of the most recent broadcast of the radio program.

It was quite a year of topics and guests on the radio program. At the beginning of the year, we did three programs on creation and why an accurate interpretation of the first part of the Bible is critical to how the rest is interpreted.

Some aren’t able to listen to the full program, so we are hopeful TCW Short Takes will make the radio show accessible to more people.

We spoke with Costi Hinn, the born-again nephew of “faith healer” Benny Hinn, about the errant movement known as the New Apostolic Reformation, which is leading Evangelical churches and people away from sound doctrine.

You can hear TCW Short Takes when you subscribe to our free podcast or visit our website, Facebook, or Twitter pages.

We did two programs on “Is the Bible Really the Word of God?” The short answer is, yes, and thus it can be trusted as the foundation for all issues of life and faith.

We spent several programs examining the dangers of the social justice and “gay Christian” movements which are making inroads into the church. And it was an election year, so we discussed what is driving the great worldview divide in our country. Guests included Ken Ham, John MacArthur, Greg Gilbert, Todd Friel, Cal Beisner, Mike Gendron, Janet Mefferd, Nancy Pearcey, Soeren Kern, and many others. You can hear past programs on our website or subscribe to our free podcast.
