Assault on the Image of God – Book: David Fiorazo
This book focuses on the fact that God, His Word, His children, and His church are under attack like never before. The biblical worldview and the truth of creation are under relentless assault as well. True believers in Christ must recognize we are at war, and that it is a spiritual conflict.

On the first half of this broadcast we are broadcasting one of our conference messages from Understanding the Times 2010 given by Dr. David Reagan. He documents the increase of the raging apostasy here in the last days, found in the church as prophesied. Those contending for the faith have a full-time job coming against false teachings and watered-down doctrine. Reagan heads Lamb Lion Ministries here. You can order the complete set of CDs and DVDs here. Recordings of our other conferences are also available there. The second half of this broadcast we also play a message given by Gary Kah at Understanding the Times 2009. Kah has been documenting the rapid rise of globalist efforts for the last 20 years. It has gone on fast-forward even more in the last 1-2 years. How does the Obama administration fit into this agenda? What should you be watching for as these events unfold? Kah's ministry is Hope for the World here. Indeed, the return of Jesus Christ is the only hope for this world. Find CDs and DVDs of this and other conference messages here.

Jan hosts and talks to her guest, Jill Martin Rische, the daughter of the late Dr. Walter Martin. In this two-hour presentation, Jan and Jill cover the rise of the paranormal. They discuss the greatest influencers on the issue: The entertainment industry, all things Harry Potter, Oprah Winfrey, Dr. Mehmet Oz, mysticism in the churches, and more. They also explore the rise of Wicca and witchcraft and the fact that the "New Age" movement is now mainstream. They also consider the cult of Mormonism now that it is high-profile thanks to Glenn Beck, Mitt Romney, and various members of Congress. The Mormon Church is baptizing many into the church after their death including Dr. Walter Martin and some who perished in the Holocaust. Dr. Martin was the leading critic of the cult before his death in 1989. www.waltermartin.com

Guest host, Eric Barger, and Pastor Paul Van Noy discuss "Covenant" theology and the related errors prevalent in the popular book, "The Hole In Our Gospel." Learn how "Covenant," "Replacement," and "Dual Covenant" theologies lead to a skewed understanding of the Scriptures. Then understand how World Vision'sRichard Sterns' book presents an unbiblical, works-oriented plan of salvation and forwards "Kingdom Now" theology, while intimating that the vast majority of true evangelicals preach and believe an incomplete gospel. Go here to find some products we carry that are produced by Eric Barger. www.ericbarger.com The second half of this broadcast we are also sharing Dr. Ron Rhodes' message at Understanding the Times 2009: It's Out of this World: The Glory of Heaven. We have CDs and DVDs of many previous conferences, all found here.

On the first half of this broadcast Eric Barger is the guest host for Jan Markell. Eric discusses the many failings of theological liberalism. Eric has thoroughly researched the history of liberalism and the deadly progression that led to the spiritual destruction of mainline churches and denominations. His warning is that a satanic redo is underway inside once-sound Evangelicalism as many are following down the same path. This hour includes a discussion of the scriptural warnings, clips from liberal teachers, and the sobering reminder that liberalism is, indeed, the MOST dangerous cult of all. www.ericbarger.com On the second half of this broadcast Eric Barger updates us on the theme "Divorced From Church - When is it Time to Leave?" Today there are countless disenfranchised believers who have become refugees fleeing Emergent, Purpose Driven, Seeker, and liberal churches. The predicted apostasy warned of in Paul's letters is doubtlessly underway and the sheep are being scattered. Still the "remnant" spoken of in Scripture is alive and active! In this hour Eric talks with three brave ministers who have risked all to make stands for truth. You won't want to miss their powerful stories. www.ericbarger.com

On the first half of this broadcast Jeff Framke and Jan discuss how you can be a witness even after your death or the Rapture. Friends and family may think twice about the gospel message after you are gone and certainly after the Lord takes us away in the Rapture, although that may or may not be in our generation. He has produced a professional DVD called Final Harvest found here. Even if you have a will, it should be amended to include the tips Framke gives in this interview. If sharing the gospel was difficult for you in your lifetime, here's how you can easily do it after you are gone. www.finalharvestdvd.com On the second half of this broadcast Caryl Matrisciana returns to explain the oxymoron of Christian Yoga. This is further explained on her DVD Yoga Uncoiled from East to West: A Look at Yoga in the Church found here. This is now rampant in churches of all denominations yet Christian participants do not understand they are dealing with 330 million Hindu gods. They are in denial because it's "good stretching and breathing methods" and Yoga supposedly relieves their stress. This DVD and information is a tool to sound a warning to them. www.carylmatrisciana.com/site/

On the first half of this broadcast we are playing a message given by Joel Rosenberg, at our Understanding the Times 2007. His information is timeless as it focuses on the epicenter, the Middle East. His wit and wisdom is also shared with people in high places such as the U.S. Congress and Pentagon as even they are asking if current events are lining up with the Bible. www.joelrosenberg.com. Go here to order CDs or DVDs of this conference. The second half of this broadcast we air a message given by Dr. Mark Hitchcock at our Understanding the Times 2010. Mark summarizes the seven major categories of Bible prophecy and how our generation best fits into all of them. The conclusion is obvious: No previous generation had the signs of the times on display quite like the present one. www.marklhitchcock.com. Go here to order CDs or DVDs of this conference.

Jan and Pastor Eric Douma discuss the toxic subversion of the Bible thanks to Rob Bell and friends. At issue are the consequence of hell and the possibility of universal salvation for all. The book examined is Bell's newest, Love Wins: The Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived. Is this just classic postmodernism or the reappearance of modern liberalism that has always failed? How does left-wing politics play into this? Many sound bytes are played to show the blood-drained gospel of Rob Bell and other Emergent leaders. www.twincityfellowship.com Jan and Eric Douma continue their discussion from hour one the first 30 minutes. Jan concludes with a commentary on Earth Day coming up April 22. Millions of Christians will knowingly or naively bow down to “mother earth” on Earth Day. Even evangelical organizations will promote serving God and saving the planet. This day is filled with paganism and pantheism but it no longer seems to matter to Christians.

Jan and guest, economist Jerry Robinson, consider two-dozen aspects of the American and global economy today. From hyperinflation to skyrocketing gas prices, what does it mean to everyone? Is America going to go the way of Europe with civil disobedience due to shortages and prices? Robinson says "yes." Is this the planned destruction of the U.S. economy to get us into the one-world system? Jerry explains the very dark side of the Federal Reserve system. The two also dialogue about the planned "economic terrorism" slated for May and a man who is absolute evil--George Soros. And what's with the gold hype? Robinson also gives some tips for surviving. Robinson's book is found here. It is titled Bankruptcy of Our Nation: 12 Key Strategies for Protecting Your Finances in These Uncertain Times. www.ftmdaily.com

On the first half of this broadcast Dr. Norm Geisler joins Jan to discuss his new book, If God, Why Evil? In an effort to answer this question, Norm Geisler provides the clearest, most comprehensive and penetrating presentation on one of the most difficult problems that thinking Christians face. Where did evil come from? And why doesn't God do something about it? Can't He just put an end to murder, rape, and starvation? What about earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunamis? Why couldn't a perfect God have made a perfect world? Jan and Dr. Geisler also review the issue of Hell and briefly address Rob Bell's new book on this subject. Go here to find Geisler's book on our site. www.normgeisler.com On the second half of this broadcast Dr. Ron Carlson and Jan discuss the real reason for the "red state/blue state divide." It is worldview and a clash between godless secular humanists and those who think biblically. The world has been brainwashed for decades now that man is only pond scum and we have all "evolved." That has created a philosophy of secular humanism running almost everything in the world, including most of America. It has allowed rogue nations, and particularly Communism, Socialism, and Fascism, to exterminate millions without a blink because they aren't destroying any life of importance. This is an eye-opener as to why society is decaying. Carlson always brings hope, however. You can find Carlson's book here. It is titled Fast Facts on False Teachings. www.roncarlson.com

On the first half of this broadcast Bill Koenig returns. He is a part of the White House press corps. He and Jan discuss the political landscape for 2012, Libya, Japan, Israel, and more. All nations are in "distress with perplexity" as foretold in Luke 21. While this will intensify greatly in the future, we are seeing a run-up to that now. Koenig states that part of the Middle East turmoil is that our Middle East policy is seriously flawed. Even the Saudis no longer trust America. So much for bowing to the king, Barack! Where is Libya headed? How are God's purposes possibly being fulfilled in the carnage in Japan? We highly recommend Koenig's e-newsletter, Koenig's Eye-View from the White House. Learn much more at www.watch.org. On the second half of this broadcast Jan and Jim Tetlow discuss our incredible God of wonders. He offers a DVD by that title that is now in 28 languages all on one DVD. This stunning film should be seen by all and particularly in these dark times. It will lift your spirit and remind you that our all-powerful God is truly in control. And there is not just chaos in the world. There are wonders going on every minute and Tetlow's cameras catch many of them. We offer a quick-sleeve version where you can get a large number of these for a small price. Use them as witnessing tools. You can find the product here or contact Jim Tetlow at: www.eternal-productions.org
