The Errors of the Emergent Church part 3 (revisited)

In part three of the series Eric outlines the warnings from the Apostle Paul of diverging away from authentic, biblically sound doctrine. This message includes many quotes from Emergent leaders illustrating the very problem true Christians face in these last days. Eric also points out one of the core issues - Emergent leaders continually describe themselves and what they advocate as "Evangelical." The action needed here is "test everything" (I Thess. 5:21-22) matching all teaching against the one and only true Gospel (Gal. 1:8-9).

The Errors of the Emergent Church part 1 (revisited)

Eric's most requested seminar teaching for conferences and churches! This week Eric Barger, defines the roots of this unbiblical movement which has swept through evangelicalism. Learn from Scripture as Eric outlines both the need and the command we have to "test everything." Pulling no punches, Eric warns that just as with the many other cults which has devastated and eternally destroyed millions, the Emergent Church found its genesis inside Christendom through captivating teachers and unsuspecting followers who either didn't know or didn't care about the Scriptural admonition to abide by the tried and true doctrines which ARE Christianity.

Understanding the Creation - Evolution Controversy part 2: The Case from Science

Eric Barger, and his guest, Jay Seegert, of the Creation Education Center, continue discussing the creation vs. evolution debate.

In part two, Jay Seegert addresses the misconception that evolution is supported by infallible and numerous lines of evidence for all areas of science. But as Jay points out, this really isn't an academic issue or debate. Its really not about the facts and science. Its actually a spiritual issue.

Seegert also defines the very term "evolution," speaks to the issue of origins of the universe, and together with Eric Barger, debunks the popular yet misguided idea that an authentic Christian can believe in the theory of evolution and yet be true to New Testament Christianity and the claims of deity by Jesus Christ.

Understanding the Creation - Evolution Controversy part 1: The Authority of the Bible

Genesis 1:1 states: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

Most Christians would immediately agree with that statement but when challenged, many fall apart and fail to give an accurate defense of the Bible. Tragically, many give up and instead of digging in to find out why we believe what we believe, the Bible and its truths are compromised all because of intimidation and the fear of man.

So, if you’ve perceived the Creation/Evolution debate with trepidation or have seen the Genesis account as a sort of black hole then, Eric Barger, and his guest, Jay Seegert, of the Creation Education Center, have answers for you! Be sure to tune in or download part one of this new series!

The Proof and the Power of the Resurrection part 2

The evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is some of the most overwhelming known to man. It is also some of the most hotly disputed by unbelievers because of the gravity of what it presents – that being, a risen savior who calls ALL MEN to surrender their lives and repent of their sins and then follow Him.

Join Eric as he'll be looking at the Resurrection through the lens of statistics and mathematics. What is the probability that Jesus could have fulfilled just a handful of the best-known Old Testament messianic prophesies - and yet have NOT been the Messiah of Israel?

You're also going to hear of some of the extravagant, outlandish theories that men have devised in vain efforts to disprove the fact that Jesus rose bodily from the dead!

Tune in and call a friend as we examine the Proof and the Power of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ - Take A Stand Radio is on the air!

Postmodernism is at the root of this mess and Eric points out that the translators are "translating the Bible to make it friendly to the people we're giving it to - instead of translating the Bible to honor the Word of God and to rightly divide the word of truth."
