Sarah Christensen: We’re all in Ministry, the Hands & Feet of Jesus

by Stand Up For The Truth | Sep 3, 2021 | American Church, Christian Growth, Discipleship, In the News, Joe Biden, Podcast, Salvation, Spiritual Warfare | 0 |

We get back to some basics today and encourage believers to minister to those around them regardless of your education or ministry experience. Love, care, challenge, disciple, and speak the truth in love and without compromise. Many churches are not equipping the saints so we all have to do our part to build the body of Christ and engage culture.

We discuss the amazing lives of Charles and Susie Spurgeon. There is so much we don’t know about their marriage, trials, ministry, and deep dedication to the Lord. David also addresses the media’s framing of “white evangelicals” and the Biden Administration now working with Facebook to monitor content (speech!).

Dr. Bruce Baker: No Fear of Death, ‘Eternal’ Perspective in 2020

by Stand Up For The Truth | Aug 20, 2020 | Christianity, Gospel, Pastor's Perspective, Podcast, Salvation | 0 |

We talk about our witness as Christians: do we have the joy of the Lord even in the midst of trials? We also discuss how everyone knows deep down that this life is temporary and maybe even the fact there’s life after death, but most people deny or ignore the truth. And a staggering report from the CDC revealing more than 1 in 4 young adults have contemplated suicide in the last month.

Jay Seegert: What on Earth are You Doing?

“A firefighter rescuing people from a burning building may be fearful and prefer to be home with his family, but he ignores his fears and denies himself. Like him, our thoughts are not on ourselves but on the fate of the perishing.” Evangelist, Ray Comfort, Living Waters Ministry

Today’s topic is evangelism, sharing our faith, and the gospel. We discuss reasons to share the gospel as well as why most of us don’t do it. How much of it comes down to our obedience and trusting the Lord? Today’s guest is Jay Seegert of The Starting Point Project

Mike and David are off today. Crash Connell visits with Dave Wager about what the Bible teaches believers how we should live and love in the world around us. What is our motivation?

The Tragedy and Glory of Death

by Stand Up For The Truth | May 21, 2019 | Apologetics, Christianity, Creation, Evangelism, Gospel, Persecution, Podcast, Salvation | 0 |

There is no greater challenge facing man then the reality of his own mortality. Hebrews 9:27 tells us it is appointed for a man to die once and then be judged. Death in the physical realm is inevitable; where a man’s souls goes after death is the real issue of eternal importance.

Born-again Christians, if we believe the promises of God, should not fear death…we should actually welcome it. But we should also have a sense of urgency about death for those who have not placed their faith and trust in Jesus Christ.

Dave Wager of Silver Birch Ranch joins Mike and Crash this morning to put the inevitability of physical death into proper biblical perspective: encouraging us to enjoy the life God has given us, not fear our mortal deaths, and have a sense of urgency for unbelievers who still fear death.

After Easter: Jesus is Lord and the Gospel must Advance

by Stand Up For The Truth | Apr 22, 2019 | Apologetics, Beliefs, Christianity, False Teaching, Gospel, Podcast, Progressive Christianity, Prosperity Gospel, Salvation | 0 |

We are fresh off of Easter weekend as many of us celebrated the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ—God in the flesh who shed His blood for our redemption. He has freed us from the power of death and sin. But with the simple yet profound message of the gospel, many Christians are still often confused about what this life should look like. Did Jesus die so I could be healthy, wealthy, or comfortable in this life? Are my physical sufferings or trials a sign of a lack of faith? If the Bible says Jesus has taken our sorrows, then why do we still struggle with sadness and anxiety?Pastor Randy White joins us to look at the promises of Jesus Christ and how we apply them in correct context to our lives as His disciples.

Does Your Church Look More Like the World?

by Stand Up For The Truth | Jan 23, 2019 | Apologetics, Beliefs, Christianity, Church Leadership, Culture & Morality, False Teaching, Gospel, Podcast, Progressive Christianity, Salvation | 0 |

Mike and Crash continue to look at how a growing number of churches look more like the world instead of standing out against the growing sin and depravity of this culture. As spiritual insanity grows in America shouldn’t the church stand out in contrast all the more? But instead it seems many churches continue to modify their approach to growth by accommodating a growing sinful culture. The ‘gospel’ being preached has been sanded and watered down to the point that it is incapable of rescuing sinful man from the coming wrath of God.

This subtly creeps into the church through programs adopted and exported by churches like Willow Creek and Rick Warren’s “Purpose Driven Church” Model that is secularizing leadership in the church, creating a hierarchy where church leaders go unchallenged as expository preaching transitions into ‘life coaching’ and the gospel is presented as a holy God compromising His standards so that more might be ‘saved.’

Pastor Mike Abendroth of No Compromise Radio joins us to discuss this sad transition and also take a deeper look at Jesus’ teachings in Matthew Chapters 5-9.

Is a True Believer’s Salvation Eternally Secure?

by Stand Up For The Truth | Dec 12, 2018 | Apologetics, Beliefs, Christianity, Church Leadership, Evangelism, False Teaching, Gospel, Podcast, Salvation | 0 |

A couple weeks ago we interviewed Pastor Mike Abendroth on the doctrine of eternal security of the true believer through faith in Jesus Christ. Some listeners have written claiming our belief is wrong and that the belief in the eternal security of the believer is wrong and dangerous. So today Pastor Abendroth joins us again to address those concerns on this very important doctrine.

We will also talk with Mike about sincere questions unbelievers have about God and The Bible and how the Church has a responsibility to answer their sincere questions honestly, because if we cannot they will find the wrong answers in the world.

Being vs. Having

by Stand Up For The Truth | Sep 11, 2018 | Beliefs, Christianity, Entertainment, Gospel, Podcast, Prosperity Gospel, Salvation | 0 |

Too often, we define ourselves by what we own or do, instead of who we are. As truly born-again believers, who are we? Adopted sons and daughters of the King of all creation.

In America however, we often confuse who we are with what we do or what we have. This can lead to confusion and frustration in our lives as we commit to owning more things instead of resting in who we are in Christ Jesus.

Dave Wager of Nicolet Bible Institute and Silver Birch Ranch joins Mike and David this morning to discuss the important and life-changing distinction between what we do and own versus who we are in Christ.

Ken Ham: Divided Nation, Conflicted Church – God’s Word Vs. Man’s Word

by Stand Up For The Truth | Oct 22, 2021 | Abortion, Bible Prophecy, Christianity, Creation, Discipleship, Education, Gospel, Podcast, Public Schools, Worldview | 0 |

Has the Church Lost its Influence? We live in a nation divided across political, racial, cultural, and even religious lines. Can the church regain a position of influence among young people seeking “truth” while rejecting God’s Word? What, if anything, will be able to bridge these profoundly personal and ideological positions?

The Bible says a kingdom, nation, or house divided against itself cannot stand (Mark 3:24-25). There are many serious problems in our churches and country, so what can we do at this point? Ken Ham is with us today to address these issues.

Alex McFarland: The Assault on God, Family, Morality, America

by Stand Up For The Truth | Oct 21, 2021 | American Church, Apologetics, Critical Race Theory, Culture & Morality, Evangelism, gender confusion, LGBTQ, Moral Relativism, Podcast | 0 |

California just made it illegal for boy’s and girl’s toys to be separated. Departments must be gender neutral. Our culture is saying you can’t change behavior but you can change your biology. That’s the complete opposite of the truth! You can change behavior, not biology. This is what happens when a culture rejects God. “Although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened” (Romans 1:21).

We discuss Creation, the foundational truths of Scripture, and how the Gospel is the answer to the universal issue of sin; plus, why Genesis and the authority of the Bible are not the starting point for some churches today, and the confusion in our culture over gender and moral absolutes.
