Ep. 291: Liberty University, The SBC’s Leadership Meets, Andy Stanley, and World Vision Answers Sen. Grassley

On today’s program, new conflicts between Liberty University and Jerry Falwell, Jr. Now his brother Jonathan Falwell is in the mix. Andy Stanley, the pastor of Northpoint Church in Atlanta, is facing criticism for hosting a conference that many observers say affirms homosexuality.

Plus, the Episcopal Church continues its decades-long decline, we’ll have facts and numbers. And the Southern Baptist’s leaders met last week in Nashville, and – well – things are still a mess. We’ll have a report.

We begin today with news that Sen. Chuck Grassley wants to investigate the Christian ministry World Vision.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

It’s a new month, and we have a new gift for donors. This month, we’ll be sending a copy of my book “Restoring All Things” to you if you make a gift of any size during the month of September. I wrote this book with my friend and former Colson Center colleague John Stonestreet, and I think you’ll find it to be a blessing. It highlights how God is using ministries and individuals to make a positive difference in the world.

Just go to the MinistryWatch website and hit the donate button at the top of the page.
