Understanding the Times

Jan hosts with guest Kamal Saleem, former Islamic terrorist, now a believer. Their topics range from "Chrislam" in our churches (the uniting of Muslims and Christians), to our purpose in Libya, to the real reasons behind the so-called "Arab spring." They also examine the Muslim Brotherhood which is getting a pass in the Obama administration when their goal, in fact, is global Sharia Law. They are behind much of the turmoil in the Middle East. Back to "Chrislam" -- even Jack Van Impe has been tossed by TBN because he wants to tell the truth about Islam but is not allowed to on the network. Kamal closes the two hours by sharing his amazing testimony for 20 minutes. www.koomeministries.com

Jan as host and Eric Barger as guest challenge Christianity Today for their promotion of a bargain sale of products promoting lectio divina, contemplative prayer, "the silence," spiritual formation, walking the labyrinth, and more. These are practices the reformers died fighting 500 years ago. In particular, the Emergent Church is promoting all of these along with everything mystical. Mysticism has replaced doctrine and the leaders of this apostate movement say Jesus died to save the earth, not individuals. Yet evangelicals are climbing on board the mystical train and it's leading to a train wreck in the church. How can you spot this in your church? Who are the names to avoid? We carry many Eric Barger products found here. Learn more at www.ericbarger.com

Jan hosts an hour that is a tribute to Dr. Ron Carlson who passed away June 16. Guests who weigh in include Ed Decker and Brannon Howse. Jan also plays a portion of Ron Carlson's message at Understanding the Times 2007 in the Twin Cities. Carlson specialized in exposing false teachings, cults, and stood for sound apologetics. Ron's conference message focuses on the deception of our day. You can contact the Carlson family at www.christianministriesintl.org. We carry Ron and Ed Decker's book, Fast Facts on False Teachings which you can find here. We carry CD and DVDs of our Understanding the Times conferences here. The second part of this broadcast is guest host Eric Barger who discusses with his guests the question: Can a Mormon be a Christian? Joining Barger are former Mormon elders Ed Decker of "Saints Alive in Jesus" and Jim Spencer of "Through the Maze." Decker and Spencer are two of today's most knowledgeable Christian apologists on the topic of Mormonism. This hour outlines the vast differences between Mormonism and authentic Christianity and reminds the listeners that those in the cults radically redefine terms such as "salvation." They also promote "another Jesus." As Mormons go more and more high-profile, we need to get acquainted with their twisted beliefs. Learn more at www.saintsalive.com or www.beyondmormonism.com, and www.ericbarger.com. We carry Ed Decker's book, My Kingdom Come and several Eric Barger productshere.

Ken Ham is Jan's guest. He is the author of a new book revealing how Christian college students come to their Christian college campus "already compromised." However, their unbelief is then fueled by Christian colleges promoting unsound doctrine. Jan and Ken reveal that the flawed doctrine is not just pertaining to Genesis issues, but theology running through the entire Bible.  Jan also answers the critics of the Dr. Randy White hour when Randy interviewed an Orthodox Jewish woman who denounced Christians witnessing to her. We must anyway! Jan also reveals more "Dual Covenant Theology" heavily promoted by John Hagee. No, the Jews don't have a separate way of salvation. For info on Ken Ham or his book, visit www.answersingenesis.org. On the second half of this broadcast we are sharing another message by Joel Rosenberg given at one of our Understanding the Times conferences. You can find CDs and DVDs of many of those conferences here.

Dr. Randy White is Jan's guest on the first part of this broadcast. They discuss issues concerning the identity and origin of the antichrist. The discussion reveals the compelling truth of a coming world leader in economics, politics, and even spirituality. Could he be alive today? Likely, yes. Are there signs we can look to that would help identify him? Why is this even something we might consider doing? The more we see the further rise of the one-world system, the more we can know that this "lawless one" is waiting in the wings. We sell White's book, The Antichrist: What You Can Know--What You Need to Know, found here. For more info on White, visit www.randywhiteministries.org or www.askdrwhite.blogspot.com. He is also a guest radio host for our ministry. On the second half of this broadcast Eric Barger guest hosts and talks with Dr. Dave Reagan, Dr. Mark Hitchcock, and Jan Markell. They are offering a response to the Harold Camping tragedy of May 21. They don't just dwell on the destruction of the Campings of the world; they also remind folks of the fact that a Rapture will happen some day. And a crown is waiting for those who long for His appearing. What can we know about this biblical event? All guests emphasize the importance of speaking and informing on this issue more than ever, even if one is marginalized for doing so. While Camping caused horrific destruction and was delusional, his followers took him seriously, showing the power of deception. We carry products by Barger, Reagan, and Hitchcock found here.

Those contending for the faith have a full-time job coming against false teachings and watered-down doctrine. Reagan heads Lamb Lion Ministries here.

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?

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.

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
