Stand Up for the Truth

In Hebrews we are taught that without faith it is impossible to please God.  Faith is what the Christian life is all about—we worship a God we cannot see, and believe in faith that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died and rose from the dead.  We have no empirical truth that these facts are [...]

A majority of our local listeners are avid Green Bay Packer fans—and yesterday was a sad day indeed for us.  The Packers, who came within one game of going undefeated in the regular season, were dismantled by the New York Giants, ending their quest for a second consecutive Super Bowl championship.  You could feel much [...]

Many Christians treat obedience as a “suggestion” rather than a mandate from Jesus. But how can we sort out what He calls us to do versus our own desires and plans for our journeys? What would it truly take in 2012 to be as radical as Jesus in our Christian lifestyle and thinking? The Bible [...]

What happens biblically when we are saved? That’s a question author John Rataczak asks in his new book, The Ramifications of Our Salvation. John says very few people who accept Christ as their Savior can explain knowledgeably about their salvation.  John will join us today in our first half hour to share some wisdom that [...]

Tim Tebow.  Just mention his name and everyone who knows anything about football has an opinion.  People either think he is a warm, outspoken Christian or a blowhard who has no right being an NFL Quarterback.  So what do I think?  Glad you asked… As a Quarterback, the jury is still out on Tim Tebow.  [...]

Some Christian teachers present faith as some sort of special power that is there at our beckon call.  If we can just tap into that faith, that God would give us anything we could ever desire—health, wealth and prosperity.  They teach that any sickness or financial problem we face is all the result of our [...]

The newest 2010 Barna study shows six disturbing trends in Christianity in the U.S. which, if not addressed, may see the quality of faith diminishing unless changes are made. Today we’re joined by our guest, Dave Wager,  founder of Silver Birch Ranch and Nicolet Bible College, and author of several books including Beyond Expectations: Learning [...]

How many times as Christians are we asked to help or serve and our response is “I’m not gifted in that area”?  Well I can tell you I have certainly hid behind that line several times in my life.  Several times over the past couple years I have been asked to get involved in prison [...]

Well Washington is poised to pass a compromise on the debt crisis.  As usual it appears to mainly be another in a series of delaying tough decisions for political expediency.  So things will calm down for a little while.  But wait, next Tuesday many Wisconsin voters will vote in recall elections, setting the table for [...]
