How Important is Israel to the Church?

September 25, 2010
Jan's guests say Christianity has been hijacked. They include singer Marty Goetz, Chris Heeb and Larry Kutzler. Heeb and Kutzler introduce the new DVD they produced, Israel, the Missing Piece: The Hebraic Foundation of Christianity. Christianity has Jewish roots. Jesus came to fulfill the law, not abolish it. But the church is not connecting the dots and the people in the pews understand very little about the Jewishness of Jesus and about their very own faith. Replacement Theology plays a huge role in the confusion today. Heeb heads the oldest Jewish evangelism agency in America: Good News for Israel. Olive Tree carries the DVD and it is found here. Jan has a short appearance in the film and Marty Goetz plays a more major role, along with another dozen Jewish believers. www.gnfi.org www.martygoetz.com

Deep State: The Invisible Government Behind the Scene – Book by Alex Newman
Author Alex Newman sheds light on the darkness of the “deep state.” He considers the intelligence community, as well as the bureaucratic machine, both of which now operate outside of constitutional structures.  He explains the “deep state behind the deep state” as well—the secret societies, semi-secret organizations and “moneymen” who make it possible.

Dr. Cal Beisner and Jan consider the agenda of the environmental movement. This movement targeted conservative and evangelical churches 15 years ago and now we see that playing out. Beisner answers the question about what has happened to the oil in the Gulf? Beisner's organization has started a program called Resisting the Green Dragon which cautions churches about the environmentalism agenda coming to most churches. Why have evangelicals fallen for this? From the Evangelical Environmental Network, to the Evangelical Climate Initiative, to the National Association of Evangelicals, all have taken the bait and they all believe the climate-agenda lie. Why do conservative Christians not understand that the ecological problem is the result of sin and a fallen planet and only Christ's return will cure the problem?

Carl Teichrib is Jan's guest. He was an "observer" at the "G8 World Religions Summit" in Winnipeg in late June. Even evangelicals gathered there to praise "mother earth," invoke spirits, and focus on "social justice." The formation of the "one-world religion" is shaping up, although none of the participants see it. Teichrib gives stunning illustrations of the unity around paganism he observed. Even humanism was celebrated at the event. This is more proof that the hour is late and the end-time players are aligning. www.forcingchange.org

Jim Fletcher and Jan dialogue about the importance of Bible prophecy in spite of the fact that it has fallen from favor. Why has most of the church abandoned the topic as well as favor for Israel? The Palestinian cause is now more prominent than support for Israel and the Jewish people. It does not help to have prominent false teachers such as Brian McLaren, Emergent guru, bashing Israel and eschatology. The so-called "Bible Answerman," Hank Hannegraaff, has also caused wreckage as well as his frequent guest, Stephen Sizer. Not only is Israel shunned; her friends are as well. www.prophecymatters.com

Dr. Gary Cass and Jan report on the arrest of Christians in Dearborn, MI, the effort to silence Christians in America, how Elena Kagan will affect our Supreme Court,Comedy Central's attempt to blaspheme Jesus (although advertisers are all pulling out on this production,) Obama's broken promises on abortion, and more. For Obama's plans to work, the "watchmen" must be silenced and free speech has to go. www.defendchristians.org

Rich Christiano joins Jan to talk about those pesky little UFOs. Should Christians take this seriously? Yes! Christiano has produced a film about the subject -- a film good for spreading the gospel. He believes, as does this ministry, that these UFOs are demonic manifestations due to the lateness of the hour. After the Rapture, the world will say that these objects took people away and good riddance.  www.unidentifiedthemovie.com www.christianmovies.com

John Terry, Christian financial analyst, talks with Jan about the disastrous and pending "Cap and Trade" bill, the cost to individual Americans due to ObamaCare, the economic domino effect that began with Greece, the planned destruction of the U.S. economy, the mysterious drop in the Dow earlier this month, and much more. www.revelationfiles.com

Pastor Bob DeWaay says that the church-growth movement is driving the gospel out of our churches. The church-growth crowd believes the church exists for unbelievers and thus they encourage pastors to make their churches "comfortable" for them, but then they become extremely uncomfortable for true believers. They reference the leaders of the church-growth movement including Rick Warren, Robert Schuller, and others. DeWaay also responds to Pastor John Piper's invitation to Rick Warren at Piper's fall conference. How do today's churches compare to the early church of Bible times?  www.twincityfellowship.com www.cicministry.org

John Loeffler from Steel on Steel returns to talk about the forthcoming stranglehold the FCC wants to place on the Internet and talk/conservative radio. The FCC has declared themselves the new controller of the Internet now. They also get into economy issues and show how America could become Greece in 1-2 years. And just how stifling is "cap and trade" going to be? How does the oil leak fit into this? Is the church ready to pick up the pieces of America as she is further weakened? The password and username at Loeffler's radio site for you to use free for 40 days is markell (all lower case). www.steelonsteel.com
