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.

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.

Radio</strong>, <strong>Eric Barger</strong> discusses the condition of American Christianity with author and talk show host, <strong>Mike LeMay</strong>, 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.<br /><br />LeMay's stellar, hard-hitting book, <em><strong>The Suicide of American Christianity</strong></em>, is simply "must reading" for anyone concerned about the spiritual dilemma facing true Bible-believers in 2013.<br /><br />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."<br /><br />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.

Furthermore, Eric exposes the outright promotion of the LDS beliefs by some      of our most vaunted Christian leaders.</p>
<p>Today, Eric also updates the      ongoing dilemma caused by the production of some 30 to 40 Arabic and Turkish      editions of the Bible which eliminate phrases like "God the Father" and "God      the Son" in an effort to be "Muslim Friendly."  Don't miss today's program!</p>

<p>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.<br /><br />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.

<p>Author, radio host, and recognized authority on Bible prophecy and end-time events, Bill Salus, is Eric's guest.</p>
<p>Speaking of the current state of unrest in the Middle-East, Salus and Barger encourage every Christian to become familiar with the prophetic Scriptures found in God's Word. Both men point out that the study of prophecy is not "doom and gloom" as many bemoan. The fact is that ignorance is never bliss and God has given a gift to the Church that we may understand the days we live in. If we choose to ignore God's prophetic blueprint, we'll not be prepared to minister salvation and hope to the lost in the troubled days ahead.</p>
<p>Bill Salus states that "there is a special reward for us to be courageous as we go through these times." Just as Joshua and Caleb were rewarded, so shall it be for the Saints who study God's Word and take seriously the call to prepare their hearts..<br />&nbsp;<br />Order materials relating to this series <a href="http://www.ericbarger.com/tasstore/specials/salus.special.htm">HERE</a>.

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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> Listen to <a href="http://www.ericbarger.com/radio.archive.htm">Take A Stand!
