The Energy Storm

February 27, 2010
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

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.

Warren Smith takes 12 minutes to conclude and summarize hour 1. Then John Brown and Steve Spillman talk about "the great treasure hunt." Steve Spillman's father started the trend in the early 70s. Brown heads Zion Oil and Gas. Many Bible verses suggest there is oil in Israel. They make the case that this would be one of the "spoils" that brings Russia down on Israel in the Ezekiel 38-39 war. To date no significant oil has been found in Israel. Natural gas has been found off Haifa's shore but all come up short who are partaking in the treasure hunt for oil. It is an intriguing discussion and this story has played out for decades. www.oilinisrael.net

Warren Smith and Jan discuss his new book, "A Wonderful Deception." Why must Christianity be reinvented. Do we need a "new kind of Christian?" Why must we attend a "Re-Think" conference and why does one Emergent say "Everything must change?" Rick Warren says we need "A new reformation." What's wrong with that "old time religion?" Jan and Smith also discuss the proposed Department of Peace. Many in the U.S. House have signed on to this. Hear a stunning sound byte on it. Smith was deep into the "New Age" movement years ago and presents insights into today's "new spirituality" better than most. www.lighthousetrails.com then go to "Browse by Author" to find all of Smith's products and bio.

Eric Barger and Jan tackle the question, when is it time to leave a church? Both ministries are deluged with church-related questions stating church-related dilemmas. There are some basic issues that serve as a guideline for leaving, unless one is persuaded to stay and try to make changes. The likelihood of that is small. So how to exit gracefully and in a Godly manner, without being divisive but telling the truth? Not an easy assignment and millions are departing unsound churches today, all throughout the Western world. Find Barger's DVDs on the Emergent Church and "The Shack" here. Also, his 8-page pamphlet on the "Twilight" craze. www.ericbarger.com

Pastor Larry DeBruyn has written a new book, "UNSHACKLED: Breaking Away from Seductive Spirituality." We revisit the book "The Shack", on the top or near the top of almost all best-seller lists. Why has this book almost become the 67th book of the Bible? What is it's draw? Why is it not in the realm of Christian orthodoxy? Because it reinvents Christianity and the Trinity. Hear sound bytes of Dr. Albert Mohler and Dr. Michael Youssef. One can only conclude that emotions trump doctrine. Is it ok to feel "spiritually healed" as a result of a book that is clearly heretical?  www.guardinghisflock.com

Dr. Michael Coffman has spent years studying the supposed global warming cycle. He explains the e-mails uncovered last November, explains why Copenhagen was a disaster, why it will resurface, and why global warming is just horrible science. The real agenda is global government. Jan and Coffman ask and explain why evangelicals are fooled by the fake science, starting with the sizable National Association of Evangelicals. Coffman also explains the disaster of "Cap and Trade," soon to be on the front burner in Washington. www.nocapandtrade.us
