Abortion Archives - Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

Born-again believers and disciples of Jesus Christ have been saved and granted eternal life with God through our belief and faith in the gospel and Jesus Christ.  Yet we are told in God's Word that we are to have a "fear of the Lord" even as believers.  We are also told he is our "abba Father" and that we can approach His throne with confidence.  So what is a correct "fear of the Lord" in the life...

The only thing that never changes is God; everything else is in a constant flux of change:  sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. The professing Christian Church in America has gone through a gradual change over the past several decades as secular culture has slowly infiltrated and influenced it.  As secular culture, public education, media, and an increasingly powerful government...

As Solomon once said, there is nothing new under the sun.  Today, we read your comments and answer your questions by going to God's Word. A few new believers emailed us this week as well as new listeners to our podcast. Some of the topics we tackle today include:How to pray according to God's willChristians struggling with depressionThe importance of biblical prophecy and Israel. Pastors waking up...

On today's podcast, Mike addresses your comments and questions from the past few weeks. These include: The growing home church movement, How the left redefines words, Russian collusion or Liberal collusion, Our youth pastor told the kids "Jesus was a socialist", If we avoid discussing the end times, is it possible we will be unprepared for coming persecution? What can I tell someone who thinks hom...

Studies show a majority of younger people now approve of socialism, and one reason is the public education and liberal media portray it as something good.  How else do you explain its modern popularity? Instead of the human utopia it is presented as, it is actually godless government control leading to communism. Socialism is used to imprison the very people who call for it, and force worship of g...

Today we read your comments from the week and answer your questions, always going to the Word of God for eternal truth and biblical perspective. We open the podcast today with Mike giving a brief report on his experience this week at the National Religious Broadcasters convention in Anaheim, CA. He spoke there about the threats against biblical Christianity from government and media. The topics in...

In our final segment today we look at the increasing evil and godlessness of our world, our nation, and how Christians must stand out as light and salt. Jesus said the greatest commandment is that we love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and mind.  The second is that we love our neighbor as we love ourselves.  Biblical Christianity is all about relationships in a world that is broken, de...

Christians are in the world but not to be of the world.  We are commanded to love all people, even those who are enemies of God.  But we are also called to obey God and not man when those are in contradiction. Congress is preparing to pass national anti-discrimination laws mandating that transgenders be given civil rights protections in hiring and services acquired from businesses. This morning, w...

The most difficult decisions in life come when there is ambiguity and confusion and we are not quite sure of the effects of our beliefs and decisions.  Satan thrives in this world of confusion, convincing us something might be good when in reality it is dangerous or evil.  But when direction, intent and consequences become clear we are able to move forward and make correct decisions in life. Ameri...

Over the eight years on this show, we have covered a lot of news and trends in society as well as within the church.  One of our primary focuses has been to expose the darkness and draw a clear picture of a world growing more and more evil.  The vast majority of our public institutions have sold out to Satan’s agenda of globalism under the rule of his puppet, Anti-Christ.  In just the past three y...

Jesus was the master of asking the right questions to reveal the hearts of men and expose their hearts and their bad thought process.  On our Listener Comments and Questions podcast, Mike shares a conversation he had with a man who was defending a woman's "right to abortion" and justifying it with God's Word.  We'll discuss how we can master the art of asking the right questions to get to the real...

Satan and this fallen world has an agenda to conform us into its image.  God also has an agenda. Disciples of Jesus Christ are to be transformed into His image in thought, word and deed.  Obviously these are mutually exclusive agendas, so it's difficult if not impossible to find a compromise between these conflicting agendas.  Today we look at one of the powerful tools the enemy uses to advance hi...

Every week we receive so many great comments and questions from listeners to Stand Up for the Truth. We'll get to as many as we can today! Question of the week: What are your thoughts on the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) having Nancy Pelosi speak to Christian college leaders recently? A few responses: "one of the many reasons I no longer call myself Evangelical," "What could she even...

What people need now is more clarity and less confusion. Media, government and public education continue to push an agenda clouded in moral relativism, appealing to our desires and emotions but short on facts and reality. A political example would be the “New Green Deal” being advanced by Democratic presidential candidates. It sounds wonderful, but it glosses over the potential destruction it coul...

The Bible warns us that globalism is inevitable and that one day the world will be united in purpose. But that purpose is to defy God and worship Satan through his puppet, Anti-Christ. This march toward globalism comes in many colors including politics, environmental issues, population control, and centralized governmental authority. It is being propagated regularly through academia and national m...

Make no mistake: as Christians we are at war with this world. No, we do not use the world's weapons or tactics, but Paul says in 2 Corinthians 10 that we have divine (spiritual) weapons able to to destroy arguments and lofty opinions of this world that are opposed to God and truth. But many are wondering why a growing number of church leaders are not calling and equipping believers to fight this c...

Mike and David look at a challenging article by Shane Idelman admonishing the Church to start living and acting like the Church instead of caving to the pressure and beliefs of secular society. And — breaking news — in case you haven’t heard:  The church is not a building or a denomination… You and I as believers are the Church! The sad reality is that Jesus warned that many who think they are sav...

The world is what it always will be: Full of people who love self and power and despise God and His Word. Christians are called to stand out as a peculiar people full of eternal hope in Jesus Christ and sharing that hope with lost people. But many fear that as the "church" has sought compromise and common ground with the world that she has lost her moral standing and actually is contributing to th...

TODAY'S QUESTIONS Should Christian church leaders hold their members accountable for unbiblical beliefs about creation, abortion, and same-sex "marriage"? It is a sad day when our president stands up for the unborn, but so many preachers sit back and say nothing. We have a responsibility to speak into another Christian's life about biblical truth, but need to remember the Holy Spirit does the conv...

What Adolf Hitler did to millions of Jews through eugenics and sterilization, Planned Parenthood founder, Margaret Sanger has dwarfed by pioneering a movement leading to the abortion of over one hundred million babies in the United States since the 1920s. Sadly, most people are ignorant of this horrible history leading to ideas such as population control and euthanasia. Proud promoter of eugenics...

The Church either affects secular culture (salt and light) or it is influenced by it. The former is part of the Great Commission; the latter is leading to confusion that will lead many into a false sense of salvation. The Christian Church should be a spiritual bulwark to stand in opposition to the murder of children and the societal confusion surrounding marriage, sexuality and gender. Instead a g...

The abandonment of God's Word and principles by Christian leaders in America continues to kick into increase with each passing year. Willow Creek's Global Leadership Summit keeps bringing in speakers who defy God's Word and Law, elevating them (secular progressives) as leaders that Christians should emulate. And now, the National Association of Evangelicals invites House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to sp...

In 1 Peter, Christians are called to be a holy people, set aside by God to be light in the darkness of this world. Our joy, attitude and behaviors should be so distinct from the ways of this world that people cannot help but notice that we are a unique, yes perhaps even a strange people. But increasing studies show that there is little to distinguish many professing Christians from this world. Fro...

Mike and David look at a joint statement from Evangelical and Catholic leaders condemning New York's expanded abortion law. But is making a strong statement enough if it is not backed up by righteous action? Instead of merely condemning the actions of New York legislators, should churches start to hold church members accountable if they approve of abortion or continue to support political candidat...

On the heels of New York’s horrendous bill expanding abortion "rights" up to the moment of birth comes a shocking revelation about a similar, even more sinister bill in Virginia. With this one, the Democratic Governor seems to insinuate that this bill would allow a couple to abort a child after it is born. Radical Liberal theology and progressive thought eventually collapses under its own weight o...
