Read MoreThis morning Mike and Crash read your comments and answer your questions using God’s Word. Our discussion this week with John Loeffler and Gary Kah have sparked discussion on how professing Christian Churches will respond to discrimination, pressure and persecution.
The Hebrew Roots Movement, “experiencing God” and “SOZO” type ministries are also discussed.
Read MoreDavid Fiorazo and Crash Connell discuss many important issues with Grace To You’s Cameron Buetell on today’s program. Christian maturity, discipleship, evangelism, and a new slant on ‘seeker-sensitive’ churches!
Read MoreWednesday, we aired the first hour of a conversation with former muslim, now born-again evangelist/missionary Elijah Abraham and Apologist Jay Segert of The Starting Point Project when they were in town for our Watchman Conference. Today, this tough conversation continues. Mike and our guests discuss the challenges and the possible future of “organized church” in America.
Read MoreIn Matthew 12:38, the scribes and Pharisees asked Jesus for “another sign” not long after he had healed the sick and a demon-possessed man who was also blind. Jesus responded:”An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign but none will be given except the sign of the prophet Jonah”That “sign” was when Jesus would rise from the grave to prove His deity and God’s power over sin and death.Many Christians and churches today are continually seeking more signs and wonders. Let’s be clear: some are sincere believers in Christ, but their continual need for additional signs and miracles testifies to the weakness of their faith in the completed work of Jesus on the cross. We look at a critique from The Gospel Coalition regarding Bethel Church in Redding, California and its leaders Bill and and Beni Johnson, and we discuss the pitfalls of this charismatic movement.In our first segment we visit with author David Richardson to discuss content in his book Transparent – about how our deeply held assumptions can deceive us and hinder us in our walk with God.
Read MoreToday we visit with Pastor Mike Abendroth and discuss the blood of Christ and the redeeming gospel. We touch on the meaning of Jesus Christ as the only Mediator between God and man. We touch on the abuse of grace by some as well as the Book of Hebrews, the sacrificial system, and Sabbath rest.
Read MoreAs usual, we have way too many questions and comments to get to in one show. But here we go! Topics we touch on today include:Word-faith, prosperity gospel (blog on the subject mentioning Joel Osteen here)Mindfulness for children implemented in many public schools Would the so-called “Equality Act” pass the House and Senate, and do you think would Trump veto it? Home churches – how to start one and do it biblically A frustrated pastor getting resistance from elders and church members for addressing “social issues”Old earth or young earth? Hebrew Roots movement
Read MoreWhen one of the most popular Christian leaders in America focuses more on personal growth, self-improvement, and positive thinking than on the essential doctrines of the faith such as repentance from sin, sanctification, and the atoning work of Jesus Christ, there’s a problem. The prosperity gospel preached by men such as Joel Osteen has been described as biblically anemic theology. And millions have fallen for it.
Read MoreOn today’s podcast, David Fiorazo was blessed to be able to comment on the breaking news of the historic SCOTUS decision overturning Roe V. Wade! Praise God!

Jackson!

Read MoreLast week in our nation’s capital, a pretty important event took place and of course, it has received little to no liberal media attention. Why? Hundreds of Muslims travelled to Washington DC and took part in meetings with U.S. Congressmen. Did you hear anything about “Muslim Advocacy Days”? It was promoted by the Council on American Islamic Relations and the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations, and was billed as the nation’s largest American Muslim civil society umbrella organization.
What is this all about and why were they meeting with Congressmen? Usama Dakdok is here to explain and also to contrast Christianity and Islam.
Read MoreWe discuss God’s sovereignty and the promise for believers that He will work all things together for good; how we overcome the world, trials, and still bear fruit for God; the example of Joseph in Genesis, our purpose in life, and responding to unbelievers.
