Do Something Worthy of Persecution
By Dave Welch
At the risk of offending all the sensitive pastors and young evangelicals who are so anxious not to be the “Religious Right,” I would like to propose that it is time they do something worthy of persecution. I had the privilege of being in a meeting with Open Doors USA President Carl Moeller last week and heard about the incredible work they are doing to support our persecuted brethren in countries where it really means something.

“Globally-Acceptable Truth” and the Crime of Thinking (Part I)
By Tom DeWeese
Do you feel it? It’s everywhere. On television. In the newspaper. At any public gathering. In any discussion – even among friends. It’s a feeling of mistrust. Nervousness. Suspicion. Even rage. Mostly, it’s just under the surface. But more and more it’s bubbling to the top. Political debate is breaking into outright war. Just say the words, “I don’t believe government should do that…” and the war is on. Take a side. Feel the heat. Tolerance is a thing of the past.

Worldview Matters with Brannon Howse
Brannon’s guest is Carla Roberts. Carla is the founder and executive director of the Yahweh Center Children’s Village in Wilmington, NC. This is a very encouraging and moving testimony of how God is working in and through the lives of those that seek to serve Him. You must hear this incredible story of how one person can make a huge difference in the lives of thousands. Christians can impact lives with a Biblical worldview even as the days become more and more evil. What is God calling you to do?

BOILED ALIVE
By Clyde F. Autio
Before I even start to write I can hear some of you saying, oh no, not him again? And with that, some of you will just send your cursor up to delete and that will be the end of it. I am sorry, because maybe you are shooting the messenger instead of the message. I know, most of us have heard about the process one must follow to successfully boil a frog. For those who have not heard I will repeat. You place the frog into a pan of room temperature water. Then, you very slowly increase the heat so that the water temperature very gradually increases until it reaches the boiling point. Presto, you have a boiled frog. But, if you make the poor choice of either trying to throw the frog into the boiling water or raise the temperature too quickly the frog will alertly sense the heat and jump out. Is God permitting the former process to be present in today’s United States? At this time I am more interested in the adage of the frog boiling than I am in proving the fact scientifically.

Here He Comes: Mr. Universe
By Matt Barber
OK, this is just too easy. You have to ask: Did the Norwegian Nobel Committee devise a secret plot to completely marginalize President Obama in the international community (I mean, beyond that which he’s already managed on his own)? Seriously, by awarding him the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday – based solely on his first twelve days in office – they’ve teed-up the ball for every Obama critic, late-night comedian and 6th grade class clown across the fruited plain. It’s been a rhetorical homerun derby. Even the majority of his supporters – apart from his worshipful media sycophants and Daily Kos-types – are left scratching their heads.

Show Me the Bill!
By Robert Knight
Do you think Congress should vote on bills without reading them? How about voting on bills that don’t even exist yet, except in fragments?

Worldview Matters
Topic One: Brannon’s guest is Dr. Betsy McCaughey, a patient advocate and former Lt. Governor of NYS, who has founded the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths (RID), a national organization dedicated to stamping out hospital infections. Recently she launched an informational website on the health bills and their impact on you. Go to www.defendyourhealthcare.us to learn more about the bills. Topic Two: A portion of Brannon’s latest keynote presentation “Grave Influence” based on his new book.

Understanding the Times With Jan Markell
Mike Gendron joins Jan to discuss the coming one-world religion and his new DVD teaching about this. Part of the discussion centers on the “False Prophet,” the Catholic Church in the last days, and rush for global government and a global religion. Who will the players be in this false religious system, and how can we see it shaping up today. And why are so many evangelicals aligning with Rome with its many false doctrines?

Harvey Milk and Jim Jones Kool-Aid
By Chuck Missler
May 22 is now officially “Harvey Milk Day” in California. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill Sunday to give credit to the first openly gay man elected to office in the state by causing California school children to celebrate his birthday every year. Milk is only the 2nd man in The Golden State, after naturalist John Muir, to get a day dedicated to his honor.

RED-LETTER CHRISTIANS: NEO-MARXISM IN THE CHURCH?
By Jan Markell
In many Bibles, all the words of Jesus are in red. There is nothing wrong with that. But something is wrong when Leftist Christians or so-called Christians want to mute the words of Paul and other writers and only follow Jesus’ words. They call themselves “red-letter Christians.”

The Demise of the Dollar and What You Can Do To Protect Yourself
Brannon’s guest is David Bradshaw to discuss the news that Gulf Arabs along with China, Russia, Japan and France are planning to end dollar dealings for oil. This news caused gold to hit a historic high over $1,040.00. What does this mean for the American dollar and what does it mean for you personally? How can you protect your purchasing power? Is American headed toward hyperinflation? What does the Bible say about money and wealth? How should Christians view the continuing and deepening financial crisis?

WARNING: Israel in Danger of Being Blindsided by Two New Grave Threats
By Joel Rosenberg
On October 6, 1973, Israel was hit by a massive and devastating surprise attack on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism. The warning signs that Israel’s enemies were gearing up to deal the Jewish State a death blow were there. Her leaders simply didn’t properly assess, interpret and respond to them. By God’s grace, Israel was saved from the brink of utter ruination. But it was close, and painful.

Error Correction on Gap Theory
By Dr. David R. Reagan
Recently I started getting a flurry of calls and emails asking me why I had decided to endorse the Gap Theory of Creation. These messages caught me by surprise because I have never believed in that theory. In fact, almost every time I have ever spoken or written about Creation, I have made it a point to denounce that theory.

Understanding the Times with Jan Markell
A Warning from One Who Knows Anita Dittman and her mother were Jewish believers during the Holocaust. Both survived only due to the sovereign Hand of God. Anita sounds a warning that what she saw happen in Nazi Germany is being replicated in America today. The conditions were ripe for Socialism in the 1930s due to a devastated economy as in America in the 21st century. A “messiah-type” personality came along then and now. Germany’s “messiah” devastated Europe. We ask, what will the 21st-century version of one do by way of destruction and what can we do about it?

Is Social Justice Cool?
By Sam Guzman
I have been intending to write something on the problems with social justice as it’s often addressed, but I’ve needed something to coalesce by thoughts. This excellent post from the pastor of the Well, a community of house churches in Southern California, did just that. In his post, he discusses why addressing issues of injustice and meeting needs through programs misses the point. He says the poor and needy are not statistics, they are souls with needs that can only be met through personal interaction, love, and the Gospel. Money and food can’t help someone struggling with spiritual depression or lonliness. I agree completely.

Evangelize!
October 6, 2009, 1:47 pm
Filed under: Prayer & Supplication, Quotes | Tags: , , ,

Go forth, go forth and win the lost,

Evangelize, whate’er the cost;

The Gospel preach in ev’ry land,

Go forth, it is the Lord’s command.

Evangelize in ev’ry tribe,

The Gospel none must be denied;

Go forth and tell of how He died,

Go, tell of Christ the crucified.

Go forth and tell of how He rose

And lives triumphant o’er His foes;

Of how He’s coming back again

In pow’r and majesty to reign.

He’s coming back “to take His bride”

From ev’ry kindred, tongue and tribe;

He’s coming back to usher in

The day of judgement for man’s sin.

Go forth, the message must be told,

Go, bring them to the Saviour’s fold;

The Masater calls, O then arise,

Evangelize!  Evangelize!

Worldview Matters with Brannon Howse
Did Bill Ayers, the former Weather Underground member, “ghostwrite” Barack Obama’s books? Jack Cashill informed Crosstalk listeners that since September of 2008, he has been saying that Bill Ayers is the primary author of the 1995 Obama memoir, “Dreams of My Father”. From here, Jack detailed how this was proven through the efforts of another author’s admittance in an interview with Fox Network’s Sean Hannity. According to Brannon, this is important information because Bill Ayers, a past terrorist, is writing social justice curriculum, a curriculum that Brannon believes is a code for marxism, socialism and communism. Brannon also played audio of children being coached to sing the praises of President Barack Obama to the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

What The American People Don’t Know Will Hurt Them
By Brannon Howse
Soft despotism is furthered through an incestuous and mutually beneficial relationship between judges and politicians to the detriment of freedom-loving people and their liberty and property. The welfare state in America has gone a long way toward encouraging people to vote themselves a raise by voting for politicians who promise the most government handouts.

Love One Another- John 13:1-35
By Jon Langford
Has someone ever done something so mean and so hurtful that it absolutely crushed you? Maybe it affected you personally or even caused you great public distress but the most traumatic thing about it was that it was committed by someone very close to you. However the action impacted your life, we are instructed by the words and life of Christ to respond in a rather unconventional way.
