Ebook

--John MacArthur

to Today’s Hot Issues
One of the greatest challenges facing Christians today is the powerful influence of secular thinking. From all directions we’re fed a constant barrage of persuasive—yet unbiblical—worldviews. This makes it difficult to know where to stand on today’s most talked-about issues.
The leadership team at Grace Community Church, along with their pastor, John MacArthur, provide much-needed discernment and clarity in the midst of rampant confusion. Using the Bible as the foundation, you’ll learn how to develop a Christian perspective on key issues—including…
- political activism
- environmentalism
- the cult of celebrity
- entertainment and escapism
- homosexual marriage
- abortion, birth control, and surrogacy
- euthanasia and suicide
- disasters and epidemics
- immigration
- God and the problem of evil
Also included is a topical reference guide of Bible verses that address key concerns—a guide that will arm you with right thinking and biblical answers to challenging questions.
Top Highlights
“Wasted time means wasted opportunity; wasted opportunity means poor stewardship; and we will give an account to God for how we spend our lives (Romans 14:10,12; 2 Corinthians 5:10).” (source)
“Will doing this activity enhance my spiritual life and the spiritual lives of others? Will it cultivate godliness in me and in them? Will it build us up spiritually?’” (source)
“Those who oppose illegal immigration run the risk of viewing illegal immigrants as enemies rather than a mission field (cf. Matthew 9:36).” (source)
“But our primary concern here is neither political nor economic. Rather, it is theological and pastoral.” (source)
“Yet in reality, a clear connection between that public confession and personal conduct is rare.” (source)
“For anyone who believes, or even suspects, that Judeo Christian
culture along with Biblical vision provides a road map to reality,
John MacArthur is a hero and his latest work, Right
Thinking in a World Gone Wrong, is a vital resource. Courage is
contagious and spiritual truth is uplifting; this book will impart
heaps of both to every Christian seeker.”

Christians
“In a world of fakes, charlatans, and imposters, John MacArthur

surrounding the top issues of our day, and offers clear and concise
answers to very important questions about how we should think,
vote, and live."
—Kirk Cameron, well-known television and film actor, speaker,
and author

underlying truths related to ethical issues today. All Christians
desiring to know what God requires should read this book.”

doubt be an invaluable resource, and especially at this juncture in
our country’s ‘culture wars,’ when the distinctions between right
and wrong are becoming increasingly blurred.”
—Joseph A. Aleppo, PhD, Chairman and Executive Director, The
Aurora Foundation
“I thank my good friend John MacArthur for helping us grasp a
solid biblical worldview on the cultural issues which impact our

confusing and complicated. Thank you, John, for helping us see and
understand our contemporary world from God's point of view!”
