Understanding the Times

Jan talks to Mike Oppenheimer about the foolishness of Christian ministries trying to "save the planet." This is what we are calling the "Web Bonus" and is a concise discussion with Mike Oppenheimer for our electrontic audience. The first hour, the February 11th Broadcast sets the pace for these comments. Oppenheimer offers a DVD on this topic found at his Web site: www.letusreason.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. Find more on Barger's apologetics at www.ericbarger.com. Decker can be reached at www.saintsalive.com.

Jan's guest is Gary Kah. The two discuss the New Age/demonic agenda of all things 2012. Gary appears in the film, "2012: Prophecy or Panic?" The Bible says it is not for us to know the times and the seasons so we can dismiss any 2012 end-of-the-world talk but we cannot discount it. The dark side will try to score global points in this new year so we cannot drop out. Globalism continues to race. Gary names the topic global leaders to watch and some events. They also point to the global agenda of the "Occupy Wall Street" movement. Learn what "Awakened World 2012" is about. Find the DVD, "2012: Prophecy or Panic?" here. We're on the fast-track to a one-world system as predicted in the Bible. Learn more about Gary at www.garykah.org.

Jan's guest is White House correspondent Bill Koenig who suggests that 2012 may be the most volatile year in recent memory. They discuss "Campaign 2012," the major scenarios in play, the White House-orchestrated Arab takeover of the Middle East by violent Islamics, the unprecedented toll on America from natural disasters, and much more. What are the implications of the new White House Chief-of-Staff who is Jewish? For more info on Bill and his "Koenig's Eye-View from the White House" e-newsletter, visit www.watch.org. We also highly recommend his book, "Eye to Eye: Facing the Consequences of Dividing Israel." We are not carrying it right now but you can find it as his Web site.

Jan's guest is author/commentator Joel Richardson. The two first discuss Newt Gingrich's statement that the Palestinians are an invented people. If that is true, who invented them and why? And when did this happen? It literally happened overnight in 1967. Learn all the details from Joel and Jan. Then they discuss the new anti-Israel film, "Little Town of Bethlehem." For a year it has been shown at colleges, churches, and more, as an attempt to paint Israel in a bad light. Jan and Joel try to deal with the facts and the real problems within the film. Tune in as it could be coming to your home town. www.joelstrumpet.com

Jan opens with a review of the NASA firing of a Christian, David Coppedge. Our tax dollars are being used for discrimination! What can be done? The law firm defending the Christian brings the update which was introduced on air by us last March. Then Jan reviews the top faith stories of 2011. From occultists in the pulpit of Saddleback Church to Rob Bell's effort to legitimize Universalism, it was not a quiet year! She also looks at the top stories of 2011 in the world of eschatology. From the Vatican giving the ok for global government to the "Arab Spring," events went at break-neck speed. The Bible is coming alive! Take that as the good news in the midst of all the tumult! For additional info on Coppedge, visit www.discovery.org/jpl or www.evolutionnews.org. To protest the Coppedge outrage, call Jean-Lou Chameau at 1-626-395-6301 (Cal Tech) or write chameau@caltech.edu.

Jan hosts interviewing Dr. Ron Rhodes on his new book, Cyber Meltdown: Bible Prophecy and the Imminent Threat of Cyberterrorism. You can bring a nation to its knees in a day through cyberterrorism, today's cheap terror threat. Rhodes paints the scenario of our perilous times. What are some of the schemes being planned today to come against nations? America is the least prepared nation today. Jan and Rhodes also discuss how all advanced technology will be used for end-time purposes. It will be the primary tool of the antichrist and likely will tie in to the "Mark of the Beast" system. Will technology display the "image of the Beast?" The information Rhodes presents is stunning in the book and interview. Go here to find the book in our store. www.ronrhodes.org

Eric Barger sits in for Jan and deals with the latest rage: Chrislam -- the blending of Christianity and Islam. Barger and his guest, Bill Muehlenberg, a blogger and author, deal with many questions including, 'are Jehovah and Allah the same deity?', 'how do the Koran and Bible compare?', 'is Islam compatible with Christianity?' Eric addressed this topic at "Understanding the Times 2011." While the answers may seem obvious to many, numerous Protestant churches are promoting Crislam, particularly in the northeast. We carry several Eric Barger products and have complete sets of CDs and DVDs from our fall conference on our websites click here.  Learn more at www.ericbarger.com and www.billmuehlenberg.com.

Jan and guests discuss the Leftward-lurch of the evangelical movement. What does immigration, climate-change, social justice, and 'no nukes' have to do with the gospel? Yet the "National Association of Evangelicals" and others have jumped on all of these bandwagons. When did evangelicals lose their salt? The NAE was created in 1942 to counter the "National Council of Churches." Yet today, there is no difference between NAE and NCC. Does this matter to you? The consequences of this are eternal yet no one seems to be objecting. You will find some of this information to be quite shocking.
