Understanding the Times

We play Joel Rosenberg's Saturday message from "Understanding the Times 2011" held last October. We had 8,000 in attendance over two days from across the country as well as Australia and other locations abroad. Enjoy our full line-up of speakers who also included Dr. Mark Hitchcock and others on CD or DVD found here. We have a short video of speaker highlights found there as well.

Jan's guest is Jonathan Cahn who answers some of the questions his critics are hurling. Cahn states that it was his intent to write a message emphasizing repentance, salvation, and the restoration of America to God's grace. He states no ministry leader has reached out to him before the accusations began, nor have most read the book "The Harbinger" or viewed the DVD, "The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment". Joseph Farah also weighs in as producer of the film. Cahn feels information is being twisted and distorted with extensive guilt by association. Jan and her radio team spend 1 hour 40 minutes asking him questions that are flying around the Internet. Just a small sampling of the issues include his connection to the New Apostolic Reformation, Sid Roth, Glenn Beck, the Jewish Kabalah and Zohar, his eschatology, his belief about Dominionism, Replacement Theology, his publisher, and much, much more. In spite of this, the book and DVD sales are only soaring. Cahn's concern is, nonetheless, that some could be turned away from the story and thus not come to repentance and salvation. We sell the DVD and it is found here. Because one radio person suggested Cahn is a false prophet and in the Bible they were stoned, Cahn's wife now fears for the safety of her husband and two very small children. Is this where the apologetics and discernment community want to go? Jan has co-hosts participating. They can be reached at www.waltermartin.com and www.ericbarger.com Cahn can be reached at www.theharbinger-jonathancahn.com We go an extra 40 minutes in the questioning in the Web bonus which can be accessed below.

Web Bonus Jan and her co-hosts Eric Barger, Jill Martin Rische, and Larry Kutzler continue questioning Jonathan Cahn on important issues and accusations flying around the Internet and on radio. Another 40 minutes are taken to clarify some of what seems to be confusing to some. The radio team also asks why not one critic would reach out and contact Cahn before the criticisms and accusations began? Cahn made many attempts to reach those accusing him of many false theologies and associations. In most instances -- although not all -- the accusers would not even respond to his calls or emails. Whether one appreciates "The Harbinger" or not, this ministry is asking if the manner in which a near lynching has been going on is Christ-like and in the manner suggested in the Bible as it concerns contending for the faith? When Cahn is accused of occultic involvement when he teaches against it, has the discernment community pushed too far? Are they then just shrill accusers of the brethren? We recommend you get the DVD, "The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment" here and decide for yourself.

Jan's guest is Dr. Robert Jeffress, author of the book, "Twilight's Last Gleaming: How America's Last Days Can Be Your Best Days." Jeffress, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, has been outspoken on election issues. He has not given up on America and believes Christians are here to delay the decay of the nation. He has been outspoken on the presidential candidates and remains so in this interview. Many Christians feel themselves to be in a dilemma having to choose between two less-than-stellar candidates this Fall. Then Jan gets a further election update from White House correspondent Bill Koenig. Bill comments on some current events as well. We carry Jeffress' book and it can be found here. For further info on Jeffress, visit www.ptv.org. For Koenig, visit www.watch.org.

Eric Barger is guest host, featuring apologist Ed Decker. What do you say when the cultists come to your door? And what about the millions of church attendees who are just trusting in their own righteousness for salvation? We are to be ready with an answer for everyone and Barger and Decker help you do that. Decker was a Mormon for many years and Barger was into the pop music scene before salvation. This program is designed to equip the saints. Find Decker's book, "Fast Facts on False Teachings," co-authored with Dr. Ron Carlson, here. We also carry Decker's book on Mormonism here. Find more on Barger's apologetics at www.ericbarger.com. Decker can be reached at www.saintsalive.com

Jan and her guests, Eric Barger and Jill Martin Rische (daughter of the late Dr. Walter Martin) have an in-studio discussion: All three head "discernment ministries" yet they are troubled by all the sniping, bad-mouthing, character assassinations, and general lack of love being shown. So just how do evangelicals confront doctrinal error? And what is "secondary separation?" Can Christians ever share a platform with one who is known to have serious false doctrine? Are some outfits just being Pharisaical and becoming known for what they attack more than what they build up? These are tough questions because we must "contend for the faith." Apostasy does reign and we cannot always be silent. Can we contend in love or must contending be cantankerous? www.ericbarger.com www.waltermartin.com

Jan's guest is Christian economist John Terry. There appears to be global economic financial collapse in sight so how does Bible prophecy play into this? Europe is struggling for its very survival. America shivers in Europe's shadow. Global debt will probably be the primary issue the Antichrist uses to unify the planet and win friends! He'll wipe all debt away. Economic issues are also shaping America's Fall election as revealed by nearly every poll. Jan and John remind listeners that God is in control and that Christians have an opportunity to shine in this darkness. Terry offers other tips and insights to help you understand economic issues today. www.revelationfiles.com.

Jan's guest is Dr. Michael Coffman. The two discuss his new book, "Plundered: How Progressive Ideology Is Destroying America." If you want to know what's happened to America politically and ideologically, this info is for you! Progressivism is on overdrive now in Washington, and it's in both parties. What can Christians do about it? Progressives feel only government can solve problems. They are well-intentioned but fallen mankind cannot make progressive ideas work. This is vital info as we head to America's November election. We carry Coffman's book here. To learn more about Coffman, visit www.epi-us.com.

Jan's guest is author and evangelist Ray Comfort. In Ray's new book, "Hitler, God, and the Bible," he reveals how Adolph Hitler used the Bible to undermine a nation. Most Germans were members of a church, yet eventually they would have no trouble singing hymns as well as Nazi songs. They would swear oaths to Hitler and forget God. This was possible only because the church in that era was riddled with apostasy. Germans, therefore, looked to Hitler for divine truth, more than God. Germany had a "remnant church" led by Bonhoeffer, Niemoller, Barth, and others, and most, though not all, perished. Jan brings out elements of her own classic book, "Trapped in Hitler's Hell." Ray then makes a comparison of the Nazi Holocaust and the holocaust of babies today. He references his hit DVD, "180." Find Jan's book here. Today's apostasy-riddled church in the West should learn the lessons of the German church. Learn more at www.livingwaters.com
