Failure to Translate part 3

Today, Eric Barger interviews journalist, Emily Belz of World Magazine who has been instrumental in shedding light on the problems and fallout surrounding the controversial "Muslim-Friendly" Bible translations issue. 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."

The Submerging Church part 4

Pastor and filmmaker, Joe Schimmel, joins Eric and continues discussing his newest DVD project "The Submerging Church." Bringing the series to a climax, Joe meticulously unfolds very troubling information concerning the "worship leader" of the Emergent Church - Bono of the wildly popular rock group, U2.

Schimmel details Bono's affinity with the demonic as portrayed by author C.S. Lewis as well as the ungodly lifestyle he and his band display. Besides becoming a sort of statesman/spokesman for various causes and being seen with Presidents, Prime Ministers, and even the Pope, Bono and U2 have gained vast popularity among Christians over the past 3 decades. Those persuaded by occasional mentions of "Jesus" or "God," need to be aware that universalism, ecumenism, and globalism form Bono's unholy trinity as he leads the misfit Emergent's deeper into spiritual jeopardy - and away from biblical truth.

The Submerging Church part 1

Eric interviews pastor and filmmaker, Joe Schimmel about his new documentary DVD set "The Submerging Church."

In this first segment, both men tell of their spiritual search before surrendering to Jesus Christ. Each also share unique perspectives on how millions inside Christian churches today have so easily accepted Emergent postmodernism and how it is submerging many congregations both in America and around the world. Joe and Eric also recount how they became aware of the growing Emergent Church and its troubling diversions into cultic and occultic philosophy.

Included are many definitions and problematic quotes from Emergent leaders which will help you to effectively communicate warnings concerning the many problems inherent in the movement.

Being that both Barger and Schimmel come from backgrounds deeply immersed in mystical beliefs and New Age, esoteric practices, both the personal experience and in-depth research they offer serve as bold warnings to those who've shelved the Bible to dabble instead with Emergent heresy.

Discernment or Deception: Which Will You Choose? part 3

In this final installment of "Discernment or Deception: Which Will You Choose?" Eric continues the live teaching by reminding us that biblical Christians will be aware of the days they live in - just like the leaders of the tribe of Issachar who understood the times and knew how to respond in the day they lived in (I Chron. 12:32).

Eric concludes by reminding us of Solomon's request before God. The King didn't ask for power over his foes, or long life, or for riches, but instead, he asked God to make him discerning. This powerful truth is sorely needed in the Church today and in the lives of each individual seeking to please the Lord.

Discernment or Deception: Which Will You Choose? part 2

In part two of the message, Eric continues to document and expose some of the many abberant theologies and near cult-like ideas that dot the Christian landscape and that are passede off as "evangelical" today. Covering the gauntlet from "Seeker Sensitive" to "Purpose Driven" the warnings come in rapid fire. A main focus in this weeks message is Jesus' words warning those who had walked with Him and seen the many proofs that He was indeed the Messiah. In Matthew 24 Jesus warned them and speak to us as well when He said, "Do not be deceived!"

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 2 (revisited)

This week Eric sheds more light on definitions as it becomes more obvious that Emergent thinkers use many terms familiar to Christians - but have attached radically different meanings. He also discusses the experience of attending a three day conference featuring the man known as the god-father of the Emergent movement, Brian McLaren. Listen to hear and be warned about the apostate and heretical Emergent redefinition of Christianity.
