6 Myths about Sexual Sin: Ephesians 5 Ministries

by Stand Up For The Truth | Dec 13, 2019 | Christian Church, Discipleship, Podcast, Sexuality | 1 |

We are bombarded with sexual ideas and images. The world would have us believe any kind of sexual gratification is normal and healthy. Satan would have us believe the lie that we deserve to be happy – which includes acting on any form of sexual expression to fulfill our lustful desires.

From Hollywood and the media to Television and the Internet, we can’t get away from the assault of sexual imagery. But as Christians, it’s what we do with those temptations and how/if we act on them, giving into sin. Don’t give up, there is hope!

Sexuality as a Gift From God

by Stand Up For The Truth | Aug 21, 2019 | American Church, Christianity, Contextualization, Culture & Morality, False Teaching, homosexuality, Humanism, LGBTQ, Liberalism, Moral Relativism, Podcast, Sexuality | 0 |

Sexual intimacy between a man and his wife are a great gift from God. This relationship is a human representation of the deep intimacy Jesus wants with His bride, the church. When a man and his wife are sexually intimate there is a deep physical, emotional and spiritual bonding that God blesses.

But as Satan often does, he takes something beautiful from God and twists it to deceive people. Today, rampant sexuality has led to destruction and disaster: abortion, broken marriages, divorce, and sexual brokenness and even gender confusion.

Pastor Mike Abendroth of No Compromise Radio joins Mike and David to discuss the beauty of biblical sexuality and the snare of sexual sin that has led to dramatic moral decline in our nation.

The Dangers of Masculinity

by Stand Up For The Truth | Jan 15, 2019 | Beliefs, Christianity, Culture & Morality, Education, gender confusion, Homosexual Agenda, LGBTQ, Liberalism, Podcast, Psychology, Sexuality | 0 |

The American Psychological Association recently released a study calling out what it perceives as the dangers of traditional masculinity warning that it leads men to hating women and LGBTQ people. As men are “marketed” to by corporate America we see confusing messages on what it means to be a man these days.

Are we to be the strong, silent, rugged, macho guy? Or the sensitive, nurturing, submissive guy who sits back quietly and just accepts things the way they are?

If we listen to the world we will be continually confused about what it means to be a man. But not surprisingly God’s Word has a lot to say about what real men are.

This morning, Mike discusses this issue with Dave Wager of Nicolet Bible Institute. What does it mean to be a man of God in today’s world?

We also look at an interesting perspective from a Christian musician who says that youth these days are being conditioned to worship their own self-image, and since the world is sending wrong messages to our youth about what their image should look like it is leading to dire consequences for an entire generation.

The Feminizing of American Christianity

by Stand Up For The Truth | Jan 14, 2019 | Apologetics, Beliefs, Christianity, Church Leadership, Leaders, Leadership, Podcast, Sexuality | 0 |

God created men and women equal but uniquely different. In His master plan, men are to be strong and loving leaders and wives are to respectfully submit to their husband’s leadership. The Christian church in America needs real godly men, but at the time when they are needed most many are confused about what it means to be a true man of God. The world and its institutions that hate God have successfully minimized and redefined manhood, reducing many men to confused, quivering bowls of jelly instead of principled, strong leaders for the church and their families. And some believe that church leadership is also responsible for accommodating this feminizing of Christian men because they are not teaching us what it means to be Godly leaders of wives, families, and communities.

Pastor Carl Gallups joins us to discuss how society’s emasculation of men is infecting American Christianity, leading to dire consequences.

Sexuality and The Church in America

by Stand Up For The Truth | Dec 4, 2018 | Abortion, Apologetics, Biblical Social Justice, Christianity, Church Leadership, Culture & Morality, Education, gender confusion, homosexuality, LGBTQ, Podcast, Sexuality | 0 |

There is no doubt we live in a sexually-charged society. God has given us clear definitions and teachings about sexual relations and gender, but society has brought confusion, and many people – young and old – are suffering the consequences. Homosexuality is practically accepted and promoted and young people especially, are facing depression and emptiness because they have become confused about their God-given gender.

God’s Word gives us all the knowledge and instruction we need to correctly understand sexuality. It provides the answers to everyone’s questions but for some reason, with our culture rapidly deteriorating and even sincere Christians facing sexual challenges, some believe that the church has been generally silent.

Are pastors responding to sexual challenges within the church and society? And if not, why? Daniel Weiss of Brushfires Foundation joins us to share the findings from a comprehensive study about if and how pastors and churches are meeting the challenges of church members and society regarding sexual questions and confusion.

Same Facts, Different Conclusions

It is interesting how two people can view the same exact facts and evidence, yet come to two completely different conclusions based on those facts. Born-again believers look at the wonders of this world and the created universe completely convinced it was all crafted by an amazing God. But atheists and skeptics look at the same evidence and facts and conclude that it all happened out of random chance and chaos.

As the world started introducing ideas such as free sexual expression in the 1960s and gender fluidity in the 2000s, they touted the benefits of experimentation while we as born-again believers saw serious dangers. In our final, segment, Mike and David will share some of the effects of this movement to see who was right.

But first, Carl Kerby of Reasons for Hope Ministries joins the program to talk about how Christians can use the evidence of creation all around us to point people to the truth of God and His Word.

Are we Medicating Ourselves into an Intellectual Coma?

by Stand Up For The Truth | Sep 18, 2018 | Abortion, Beliefs, Christianity, Culture & Morality, Discrimination, gender confusion, LGBTQ, Podcast, Psychology, Sexuality, transgenderism | 0 |

Watch television for any length of time and you are sure to see ads for new medications promising to make your life better. And while many of these drugs have dangerous side effects, the Pharmaceutical Industry continues to make billions of dollars peddling the latest “cure” for the latest problems of life. Anti-depression medications have saturated the market and record numbers of American children are now being medicated for ADHD. Today, Mike and David discuss the dangers of over-medication and the long term effects on mental health.

On a related subject we look at two interesting, yet very sad articles that are becoming all too common in these days. First, the number of young girls struggling with “gender identity” is skyrocketing; and second, a professor in Sweden is under attack for stating something so obvious that only a fool would argue that he is wrong. Is there a connection between over medication and the intellectual insanity permeating every aspect of society?

Assessing The Jack Phillips Supreme Court Decision

by Stand Up For The Truth | Jun 5, 2018 | Beliefs, Christianity, Culture & Morality, Discrimination, Evangelism, Government, Homosexual Agenda, LGBTQ, Podcast, Religious Freedom, Sexuality | 1 |

Jack Phillips, the Colorado cake baker, won his appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday in a 7-2 ruling some are calling “narrow.” Phillips was fined and nearly put out of business by the State of Colorado for refusing to use his artistic abilities to produce a wedding cake for a homosexual couple. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in his favor and chastised the State of Colorado for its mocking of his Christian faith.

But was this a “landmark” decision that will have long term impact or a limited ruling that leaves more questions than answers? We’ll discuss this with Dave Wager of Nicolet Bible Institute and Silver Birch Ranch. We will also talk about things that differentiate true Christians from the world – including how we handle life’s trials and troubles.

Calvin Beisner: Climate Predictions, Green Policy; Equality Act

by Stand Up For The Truth | Feb 26, 2021 | Bible Prophecy, Christianity, Climate Change, Environmentalism, Globalism, LGBTQ, Podcast, President Joe Biden, Worldview | 0 |

Young people today are very passionate about the subject of climate change. More often than not, they are being indoctrinated with emotional, fear-driven arguments about mankind destroying the planet because of our “carbon footprint.” We should acknowledge their concern about being good stewards of God’s earth, but how can we help separate fiction from fact?

Dr. Beisner shares his expertise on green energy, climate change, and solar dependency on fossil fuels, as well as what happened in Texas recently with sub-zero temps and power failures. David later outlines to evil of the Democrat’s so-called “Equality Act,” which just passed in the U.S. House.

Andy Woods: Green Energy Failures & Climate Non-Science

by Stand Up For The Truth | Feb 19, 2021 | Christianity, Culture & Morality, Democrat Party, Environmentalism, Pastor's Perspective, Podcast | 2 |

Joe Biden calls climate change an “existential threat” to humanity and promised to advance job-killing ‘Green New Deal’ policies. Andy Woods lives near Houston, Texas, an area effected by green energy policies and rolling blackouts due to the recent ice storms in the south. But Texas? We address the unbliblical and even un-scientific approaches that progressives are taking.

CNN, the left & Democrat media are framing Trump and his supporters as radical insurrectionists. We discuss dangerous rhetoric attempting to set up “Christian Nationalists” as the enemy of the state and even “domestic terrorists.”
