TECHNOLOGY and SOCIAL TRENDS: A Biblical Point of View
Technological and societal change is all around us. What does the future hold? Trying to predict the future is difficult, but we can get a clue from the social and technological trends in our society. The chapters in this book provide a framework as Christians explore the uncharted territory in our world of technology and social change.

Some of the questions that Anderson will answer are: What are the technological challenges of the 21st century? How should we think about the new philosophies like transhumanism? Should we be concerned about big data? What about our privacy in a world where government and corporations have some much information about us? How should we think about a world experiencing exponential growth in data and knowledge? What social trends are affecting baby boomers, baby busters, and millennials?
Arts, Media, and Culture
Our culture is filled with a variety of worldviews, each competing for our attention and allegiance. What are the major worldviews in society? How can we evaluate these various worldviews?

Christians also wonder how they are to relate to the culture? Should they merely separate from the world or is there a place for Christians to transform culture? How does that apply to art and media? How should a Christian evaluate the arts? What does the Bible say about art and music?

These are significant questions that deserve thoughtful answers. The contributors to this book provide practical, biblical answers so that Christians can evaluate art, media, and culture with biblical discernment.
Berlin Massacre and Trump’s Policy
Pro-sanctuary mayors and the New York Times are appalled by the suggestion there’s any connection between immigration and terror.

Donald Trump was asked on Wednesday if the Christmas-market truck massacre in Berlin had caused him to reevaluate his various proposals regarding immigration from terror-spawning regions. His answer sent the liberal media into another nervous breakdown: “I’ve been proven to be right,” Trump responded. “One hundred percent correct.”

Five Fights for Trump
Lawmakers will return to Washington in January with a full plate of controversial issues that could gum up the early days of the President-elect Donald Trump's term.

GOP lawmakers and the Trump administration are eager to move quickly after winning control of both Congress and the White House for the first time in nearly a decade.

But divisive fights with Democrats, and within the party, could grind Congress to a halt, and quickly test that ambitious GOP agenda.

Here are five fights awaiting lawmakers and Trump next year:
Trump’s 100 Court Vacancies
Donald Trump is set to inherit an uncommon number of vacancies in the federal courts in addition to the open Supreme Court seat, giving the president-elect a monumental opportunity to reshape the judiciary after taking office.

The estimated 103 judicial vacancies that President Obama is expected to hand over to Trump in the Jan. 20 transition of power is nearly double the 54 openings Obama found eight years ago following George W. Bush’s presidency.

Confirmation of Obama’s judicial nominees slowed to a crawl after Republicans took control of the Senate in 2015. Obama White House officials blame Senate Republicans for what they characterize as an unprecedented level of obstruction in blocking the Democratic president’s court picks.

The result is a multitude of openings throughout the federal circuit and district courts that will allow the new Republican president to quickly make a wide array of lifetime appointments.
