Understanding the Times

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.
