James Walker: Is Jesus God and Savior or a ‘Good teacher’ & Prophet of Allah?

by Stand Up For The Truth | Oct 12, 2020 | American Church, Apologetics, Christianity, Islam, Podcast, the Gospel | 1 |

Who Is the Jesus of Islam? Jesus is revered in the Islamic faith—but is he the same Jesus Christians claim as their Savior? Today’s guest, James Walker discusses major similarities and major differences between the Jesus of the Bible and the Jesus of the Qur’an. Such as how Islam affirms biblical concepts, even though it diverges from Scripture; how the Qur’an promotes a deep respect of Jesus, while not identifying Him as a Savior, and how to cultivate conversational relationships with Muslims, despite your different beliefs and faith backgrounds.

Todd Nettleton: Perspective Check for Comfortable Christians

by Stand Up For The Truth | Sep 18, 2020 | Christianity, Persecution, Podcast, Religious Freedom, the Gospel, Worldview | 0 |

We know that the testing of our faith produces strength and endurance. Most of us can use a perspective check as we live comfortable lives in a free republic. But we know it won’t always be this way, so how do we prepare for persecution?

Christian Worldview on Injustice, Lawlessness, and Redemption

by Stand Up For The Truth | Sep 1, 2020 | American Church, Christianity, Discernment, Liberalism, Podcast, Social Justice, the Gospel | 0 |

We don’t have a skin problem, we have a sin problem. There are two kinds of people in the world – forgiven and unforgiven. Saved or not saved. Let’s reinforce this biblical perspective.

Too many Christians seem uncertain today about the authority of God’s Word. When cultural movements and secular ideas contradict what Scripture teaches, why do we often have a hard time setting ourselves apart? We want to be liked, relevant, and go with the popular flow.

The Bible calls it conforming to this world.

Where Does Truth Come From? Heidi St. John Interviews David Fiorazo

by Stand Up For The Truth | Apr 18, 2020 | American Church, Christianity, Culture & Morality, LGBTQ, Religious Freedom, the Gospel, Worldview | 0 |

Heidi St. John writes: “It’s Meet My Friend Friday here on the podcast and my new friend David Fiorazo is on the show with me today.”

I had the opportunity, really the privilege, of being on his show (Stand Up for the Truth) about a month and a half ago. And the whole time I was talking to him and we were having this conversation, I’m just raising my hands and hallelujah-ing. And my husband was watching me from across the room and when I hung up he was like, “You found your people.” Yes I did!

Mike Gendron: the Gospel, Decline of Discernment, and the One World Religion

by Stand Up For The Truth | Jan 23, 2020 | Bible Prophecy, Catholic, Christianity, Evangelism, Podcast, the Gospel | 0 |

Believers are told to know the truth, and hold fast until the end so we will not fall for strong delusions, but few would deny the rapid decline of discernment in the church today.

The gospel must be preached without compromise to those who are perishing or they cannot be saved. We know the truth of Christianity is not popular today and the world would rather turn to Satan and eventually, the anti-Christ for solutions to the crisis coming upon the earth.

Jay Seegert: What on Earth are You Doing?

by Stand Up For The Truth | Jan 14, 2020 | Apologetics, Christian Church, Discipleship, Gospel, Podcast, Salvation, the Gospel | 0 |

“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

Christians, Santa Claus, and Holiday Traditions

by Stand Up For The Truth | Dec 23, 2019 | American History, Christianity, Podcast, SocialMedia, the Gospel | 0 |

Some Christians today say there’s nothing wrong with any modern holiday traditions as long as the celebration is around Jesus. Others say Christians should not lie to their children and should have nothing to do with Santa Claus because of the greed and materialism this season produces. But this leads to more questions – such as what should parents tell their children about Santa Claus?

Todd Nettleton: Voice of the Martyrs, Persecution

by Stand Up For The Truth | Dec 6, 2019 | Bible Prophecy, Christian Church, Persecution, Podcast, the Gospel | 0 |

Being a committed disciple of Jesus Christ often leads to discrimination or ridicule here in the states, but in many other nations, Christians are beaten, imprisoned; some are tortured, and many are killed. In spite of this, their churches are growing. How do we explain this?

The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church. Outside America, Christianity is increasing and the gospel is being preached in the face of severe opposition. We often feel helpless, but there are practical ways we can help our persecuted family. Today’s guest says the number one thing is prayer.

by Stand Up For The Truth | Nov 27, 2019 | Christian Growth, Discipleship, Evangelism, Podcast, the Gospel | 0 |

The Church in America Must Be the Church!

by David Fiorazo | Jan 15, 2021 | American Church, Church Leadership, COVID 19, Pastor's Perspective, Religious Freedom | 0 |

As we saw in 2020, forces of darkness have been hard at work. The enemy – both human and demonic – coming against us hard. It is stunning, the speed with which our country, culture, freedoms, and very way of life have been attacked and dismantled!

If there was ever a time in American history that the Christian Church needs to be an essential, gospel-preaching, influential, faith-building, fruit-bearing, saint-equipping church, it’s now.

Steve’s church was fined $10,000 for holding a Christmas Eve service and not following New Mexico governor’s mandates; we discuss also the battle between Christians and government, unreasonable state restrictions on churches, obeying God or man, open censorship of American citizens by Big Tech and liberal media activists, and the responsibility of pastors to lead in these dark times.

by Stand Up For The Truth | Jan 11, 2021 | American Church, Christianity, Culture & Morality, Education, Government, Podcast, Public Schools | 0 |

An alarmingly high percentage of youth are walking away from their faith today. We now know it is at much younger ages when children begin to doubt what they have learned. Many studies have been done and the evidence is clear. What are we doing wrong as Christian parents and the church in general?
