Apostasy's Results: The Scattering of the Sheep

Jan Markell and Eric Barger discuss the continuing demise of evangelical Christianity (April 27-28, 2013). They alert listeners of another denomination biting the dust due to liberalism and Emergent philosophy. John Haller from the Columbus (Ohio) Bible Prophecy Conference also weighs in on the compromise of this denomination. Also discussed is Barger's recent experience at yet another Emergent-based conference, “Jesus and the Quran,” which promotes the notion that Allah is Jehovah and “Isa” (the Muslim Jesus) is actually Jesus Christ of the Bible. Then Eric updates a story we covered on last week’s "Understanding the Times" program (April 20, 2013) as he interviews Dr. Ron Crews of the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty about the recent U.S. Army Reserve training that called evangelicals "religious extremists." This is the man who broke the story. Order Eric Barger's sobering DVD, "Divorced from Church" here.

The Cross in the Shadow of the Crescent

Eric Barger and Jan Markell talk to Dr. Erwin Lutzer about his new book, The Cross in the Shadow of the Crescent.  Dr. Lutzer has hit a home run with his insights into what Islam is up to. This is a wake-up call to the church as well. Lutzer gets into "appeasement" issues by the current administration which are delusional and he talks about other current issues that trouble him concerning Islam, America, and the West. This is no ordinary book or radio discussion on this topic. The inroads of Islam are startling and Jan, Eric and Lutzer reference the warnings of Frank Gaffney, Andrew McCarthy, Clare Lopez, Eric Stakelback, Gen. Boykin, and more. Find Lutzer's book here.

Then White House correspondent Bill Koenig gives his Washington insider report. America is imploding for a reason. What can we do to slow it down?

Entertained to Death

Eric hosts "Understanding the Times" Radio with Jan Markell on 2/23/2013. Their guest is filmmaker, pastor, and apologist, Joe Schimmel, who joins Jan and Eric Barger to discuss the culture of violence portrayed in today's entertainment world. Pastor Joe and Eric speak from their own life experience before coming to Christ, as well as from the countless hours of research and study of the entertainment culture. You do not want to miss the insights and warnings offered as Schimmel and Barger shine the light of truth on many of Satan's prime deceptions being popularized though motion pictures, television, video games, and the music industry. They also bring words of encouragement testifying to God's redeeming power, as both were once lost as players in the secular rock and roll world. Also, don't miss today's special Web bonus as we continue the discussion! (See Below)

Then Jan interviews Michael Wolf, producer of a new DVD, "The Sound of the Spirit." This is a story depicting the struggle Jewish believers have today as they travel in two different worlds. All people of faith can identify, however. It's told with humor, compassion, and grace.

Are You A Faith Defender?

In this inspirational message Eric Barger challenges listeners to be witnesses and also implores us to be defenders of the faith "which was once delivered unto the saints."

Eric defines somewhat foreign words like "apologetics" and "polemics" and gives ideas on how we might best present the truth of the Gospel and also ascertain what is authentic, historical Christianity.

Divorced From Church: How Apostasy is Scattering the Sheep

Are you concerned about the spiritual condition of your church?

Perhaps you’ve gone from church to church and wonder is there a body , a pastor, a church who is dedicated to follow God’s truth in your community?

Maybe you are one of the “Refugee Remnant” who doesn’t fit anymore because you keep troubling those around you with minor details – like following the Bible? If so, then you need to know that you are not alone.

If you have traversed the land in search of a church that holds firmly to the Word of God (not just in lip service) and, if you’ve perhaps just given up and have resigned yourself to just stay at home rather than just be disappointed or disillusioned again and again, then this edition of Take A Stand! Radio may be particularly important for you.

Today, we’re going to play the soundtrack from Eric Barger's challenging DVD message “Divorced From Church: How Apostasy is Scattering the Sheep.” Tune in for an up front discussion of this growing end-time problem.

The Authority of the Bible

Biblical Creation specialist, Jay Seegert, returns as Eric's guest. The topic: The Authority of the Bible.
 
Seegert is a trained physicist, an author, lecturer, and above all a staunch defender of the faith. Eric and Jay discuss the disturbing modern trend inside Christianity that disregards biblical inerrancy in an effort to placate secular science and the secular-atheistic educational culture. More disturbing is the move in Christian education which accepts evolution as fact, choosing to question the Bible rather than Darwin. If you have children or grandchildren in either public or private Christian school today, this program is "must listening."

We play clips from popular evolutionist, Bill Nye ("The Science Guy") and a stunning clip aired on the popular "700 Club" television program which illustrates the root of the problem.
 
Get Seegert's fabulous book, "Let There Be Light" and the "Foundations in Creation" DVD series here. Contact Jay Seegert at www.cecwisc.com

The Suicide of American Christianity

In this edition of Take A Stand! Radio, Eric Barger discusses the condition of American Christianity with author and talk show host, Mike LeMay, from Q90 FM in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Also included is Eric's warning about bold and blatantly satainic heavy metal artists now extolling the Antichrist.

LeMay's stellar, hard-hitting book, The Suicide of American Christianity, is simply "must reading" for anyone concerned about the spiritual dilemma facing true Bible-believers in 2013.

During the interview LeMay explains how an encounter with ultra-left preacher, Jim Wallace, became the genesis of his daily program, book, and ministry. Mike then outlines the perils facing leaders in our churches today and discuss how a growing variety of soft shell, easy, partial gospels have replaced the authentic biblical version. Both Barger and LeMay are concerned about the plight and struggle that pastors face who are intent on presenting the Gospel message intact amongst a church culture conditioned to hear only "feel good" messages drenched in the half baked "love gospel."

Also discussed, the demise of Christian education, the gay agenda and the root cause behind it all - a lack of reverence for the Word of God. Reach Mike LeMay at www.standupforthetruth.com.
