Does the blasphemy, the evil, the rejection of God, and the lack of any fear of the judgment of the Lord indicate that we might be near the end of time? On this week’s episode, Alex discusses how the whole world saw the blasphemy due to the performance at the beginning of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. He talks about what the scriptures say of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit and how we need to pray for the Spirit of God to bring the world to conviction. The window of opportunity for salvation doesn’t last forever. Are you ready for Jesus to come back?

On this week’s episode, Alex speaks with leaders and students from all over the United States at a “Worldview Camp”. Discussing topics like gender, identity, social media and peer pressure, Alex stresses the importance of this generation (and the next) having open conversation on God’s truths versus the beliefs of the world. With the massive cultural shift our children are facing it is vital that parents and youth leaders understand the importance of thoughtful, intentional faith discussions - and consider how a summer camp that focuses on more than just games could have a lasting impact on our kids.

Description: Living in a world where the battle between good and evil is acknowledged both culturally and personally, we face the challenge of sin in our lives. On this week's episode of the Alex McFarland Show, Alex breaks down the scripture of John, chapter 3. The Bible is very clear that if we want to go to heaven if we want to be with God in eternity, we must be born again. This episode is a sobering yet encouraging reminder that simply calling ourselves “Christian” won’t save us.
