Understanding the Times

Kamal Saleem was a young terrorist who hung out with Saddam Hussein, Yaser Arafat, and Muammar Khadaffi. He would never give up Islam. He lived to kill Christians and Jews and to perpetrate jihad. But God reached down and Kamal is now a strong believer, warning anyone who will listen about the danger America is in. He speaks to the FBI, CIA, and dozens of organizations, but has a much more difficult time now with the Obama administration who wants to give Islam a pass and not expose it. Saleem shares important insights all need to hear. Find the DVD we reference, "Islam Rising" by Caryl Matrisciana, here. Jan accidentally said Peter Wagner was a part of the film and meant Peter Hammond. www.koomeministries.com

In the first half of this broadcast Alicia Chole a former Atheist whose life was more comfortable denying the existence of God talks about her life. She agreed to attend a church service to get two people off her back. She tells her story of coming to faith. For anyone discouraged about winning a loved one to the Lord, this is must-listening. She is author of the book,Finding an Unseen God.In the second half of this boadcast Jan plays a 20-minute clip of a pastor who lost his voice permanently from an illness. Do not miss this as it is a faith builder. The voice is restored on air, as it was recorded by his home church.

Dr. Ron Rhodes returns to talk about angels. In his book, Angels Among Us: Separating Facts from Fiction, Rhodes and Jan discuss the creation of angels, the assignments of angels, the biblical importance of angels, the characteristics of angels, the difference between good and bad (demonic) angels, the fall of 1/3 of angels, and much more. Find Rhodes' book here. -- www.ronrhodes.org

Dr. Gary Frazier and Dr. Tim LaHaye join Jan to talk current events, the abusive treatment of Benjamin Netanyahu last week, "signs of the times," and about the most abused theology: Eschatology (Bible prophecy.) Frazier is one of our speakers at our spring conference: "Hope in a World of Troubling Change." We carry his book, America at the Tipping Point here. www.discoveryministries.com -- www.timlahaye.com

Dr. Gary Cass returns to report on current "Christian bashing" going on. Tyranny against Christians is on fast-forward under the current administration. How far will they go to put an end to our rights as Christians? Greater persecution is likely coming as the Bible tells us so. That's why Gary's organization is so important, although it is under scrutiny. www.christianadc.org

Eric Barger and Jan talk about the new book, "The New Pharisaism: How Spiritual Bullies Attack the Church." Why are much-needed discernment ministries, including Eric's and Jan's, being called bullies when they are only "contending for the faith"? These two ministries and a couple-dozen more, are exposing the abusers of evangelicalism over the last 25 years. Most churches are silent about exposing false teachers and false theologies, but when discernment ministries speak up, they are labeled divisive and behaving as bullies. Find two of Barger's excellent apologetics' DVDs here. Keep scrolling down as products are in alphabetical order. www.ericbarger.com

Pastor Bill Randles and Jan examine the prophetic movement. While the Bible has a role for prophets today, are the self-proclaimed prophets using this role properly? Randles, who is a Pentecostal pastor, says no. Who are some of these people and why has the movement allowed an accuracy rate as low as 10% when it had to be 100% in the Bible? This movement has now bridged a gap into the evangelical world? Who was the person who created this and why? www.believersingrace.com

Mark Tooley is recognized as the finest exposer of the antics of the religious Left. He and Jan discuss the major participants of the religious Left, the issues they oppose such as defending America (the world should be weaponless!), their loathing of Israel, the antics of Brian McLaren, and more. These Mainline denominational churches are shrinking but the real powerhouses are the World and National Council of Churches. Tooley represents the Institute for Religion and Democracy. This ministry supports Tooley but not all of the activities of the IRD as they, too, have some questionable alignments. Jan concludes the hour exposing the National Association of Evangelicals' support for "Earth Day" and their promotion of a Web site/ministry known as "Blessed Earth," a worshipping the creation before the Creator outfit. www.theIRD.org

John Loeffler from Steel on Steel joins the program and cautions listeners about the impending paradigm shift. He feels 2010 is a year of transition and 2011 - 2015 are years of chaos. He substantiates his thoughts. He sounds an alarm about the pending "energy storm." Jan and John spend time on the role of the church through all of this. It should be major! How many pastors get it? Solid churches need to become havens of biblical refuge. Can today's church deliver that? To listen to his programming free for a few weeks, use a code for Jan's program he has devised: 4jan. www.steelonsteel.com

Financial analyst and economy expert Jerry Robinson and Jan talk about over a dozen angles to the economic dilemma plaguing the world today.
