What ONE insight will either make or break your life as a Christian, or even as a non-Christian? If followed, it will help your marriage, parenting, business, job, friendships, politics, and most importantly, your eternity and your relationship with Jesus.Spurred by recent political and cultural events surrounding President Trump's first 100 days in office and comments made by Vice President J.D. Vance during a recent interview about protecting the interest of American citizens, Frank reminds listeners of the doctrine of "Ordered Loves". Originally articulated by Augustine over 1,600 years ago, this classic school of thought seems to be totally lost among our culture today. Tune in as Frank answers questions like:What is the Doctrine of "Ordered Loves", why is it so important, and how does it affect every single area of your life?What are the negative consequences when we get the order wrong?What did Jesus have to say about getting our priorities in the right order?What did Dr. Erwin Lutzer mean when he said "love can be evil"?Why did Vice President J. D. Vance recently cause a stir during an interview and what did Pope Leo XIV have to say about it?Why do so many people (including some who claim to be Christians) reject the idea of hierarchies and an ordered world?What's the difference between true and false compassion?Is character in politics only about personality?What are 15 things that the Trump Administration has done policy-wise during the first 100+ days in office that all Christians should support?What is the primary purpose of government?Is idolizing politics really a problem among conservative Christians?In his article, 'Why Progressive Christians Reject the Doctrine of "Ordered Loves"', Michael Clary writes, "Whether we like it or not, God’s world is ordered and hierarchical. We can embrace it and enjoy the blessings of living according to God’s design, or we can reject it and live a life of bitterness, like so many progressives."
