Faith in the promises of God to the church empowers the spiritual Christian to cope with the difficult times in life. Because the believer has the mind of Christ, he is able to view life's troubles as God does, recognizing that they are temporary and fleeting in comparison with eternity.

All across North America, Christian churches have unknowingly encouraged occult beliefs and practices far removed from what the Bible teaches. This unfortunate reality is intrinsically linked to the popularity increase of New Age spirituality in the twenty-first century, and we've been so influenced by its integration into our society that we have become blind to recognizing, and preventing, the e...

It seems like end-times signs are happening at a breathtaking pace these days and Bible prophecies are being fulfilled to some degree worldwide. Now is a good time to consider digging deeper into God's word and sharpening one another. Our mission remains the same: preach the word and love our neighbor. We should have plenty of opportunities in the weeks and months to come. TODAY'S GUEST is Bill Pe...

There is nothing new under the sun, and false teachings and unbiblical movements have been around since the founding of the  Christian church. We are warned in Scripture over and over to watch out for false teachers, but today’s church has been infected with them. Too many believers have accepted unbiblical ideas because on the surface they might sound good, but they leave you deceived and empty....

As our culture heads further away from God, it makes sense that more people are also rejecting truth. This often leads to attacks on those of us who believe in and who represent the God of truth. Are Christians equipped to respond to the false accusations and charges of hate? Is your family prepared to deal with the daily battles? TODAY'S GUEST - Author, pastor, and apologist, Juan Valdez of Reaso...

“A firefighter rescuing people from a burning building may be fearful and prefer to be home with his family, but he ignores his fears and denies himself. Like him, our thoughts are not on ourselves but on the fate of the perishing.” Evangelist, Ray Comfort, Living Waters Ministry Today's topic is evangelism, sharing our faith, and the gospel. We discuss reasons to share the gospel as well as why m...

The Bible tells us that long before the world began, God orchestrated a masterful plan to reconcile sinners to a holy, loving God. Through history, He provided a road map as He foretold various signs and specific conditions by which the Messiah would arrive to save mankind. His prophets spoke of things to watch for so the Messiah would be recognized and believed.  Before the world began, He knew t...

Anyone can do good deeds. You don't have to be a Christian to have good works in life. But we do need the Holy Spirit to bear good fruit. What's the difference? Spiritual fruit. John chapter 15 is about believers abiding in the Vine in order to bear good, lasting fruit that glorifies God. Also, what's the difference between quenching the Spirit and grieving the Spirit.? We'll discuss this today, a...

Some Christians prefer to remain on the sidelines rather than speak truth to others or address the many controversial issues being debated these days. But if the church doesn't preach the full gospel, confront apostasy and expose evil, many people will remain confused and lost, eternally.

People often ask fair questions about faith, God, the Bible, or about truth. Today's youth are no different. Can you really know God, does absolute truth exist, if God is love why is there evil, do Christians live by blind faith? And many other honest questions. But there's a problem. Too often, believers in Christ do not have good, thoughtful answers for them. Are we equipped to answer these ques...

The universe reveals a complexity, design, and magnificence that staggers the imagination, and logic shows us that life could not have appeared by some random, spontaneous process. Evidence seems to point to a master plan and an intelligent being; such intricate, organized design must have come from a Designer.  The theory of evolution however, has been generally accepted by the scientific communi...

There's an old saying, "politics makes strange bedfellows," but these days professing Christianity, government, and worldliness also seem to be aligning more often, developing very strange partnerships.  We've seen so-called "Celebrity pastors" often embrace Hollywood stars or elite sports celebrities who claim to be Christians, but they often do so without a modicum of discernment or wisdom, caus...

Our youth are headed back to school---grade school, high school or college.  There is a good possibility they may run into atheist teachers who will present theories and "teachings" that contradict the Word of God.  How can we prepare our Christian students for a potential onslaught of propaganda and secular theory that will encourage them to abandon the Word of God for what is presented as "scien...

In segment 1, we have a discussion about what so-called Liberal Christianity is and how it is infecting a growing number of churches and denominations. We connect with author Dan Jensen. His excellent book is titled A False Kind of Christianity.  As we see more young people and leaders abandoning the Christian faith, it is important we assess their thought process and motives in doing so. (They ar...

Vibrant, bible teaching churches are needed more than ever but are so very hard to come by. We need wisdom, biblical knowledge and understanding of God. We also need to show our nation the dangerous path we are on as a nation and people.  But many churches seem intent on conforming to the ways of this world instead of transforming lives by the power of God's Word.  At a time when we need clear bib...

On Fridays we discuss your comments and answer your questions - always looking to God's Word. Several of you have written in about potential gun control laws and the possible threat of disarming the general public. Should Christians obey such a law? Also: When pastors tell too many stories or analogies during a sermon, does it take away from God's Word? Christian parents needing advice for daughte...
