Current News & Views from a Biblical Perspective

by Stand Up For The Truth | Jan 16, 2020 | Abortion, American Church, Culture & Morality, In the News, Podcast, Pro-Life | 0 |

There’s so much happening in our world, country, and culture today it’s hard to know where to start. We cannot possibly tackle all the tough, controversial issues, but we sure can address some of the most recent news stories that affect our lives, our children, or churches.

David and Crash go through a few dozen news items of interest and strive to offer a balanced, Christian perspective to what’s going on today. As always, trust the Lord Jesus, make the Word of God your solid foundation, be discerning and understand the dark days we find ourselves in.

Pastor Landon Churchill: True Revival Starts with Us

by Stand Up For The Truth | Dec 27, 2019 | American Church, Christian Growth, Culture & Morality, Gospel, Pastor's Perspective, Podcast | 0 |

Most of us recognize the increase of moral relativism goes hand in hand with the decline of Christianity in America. Repentance and revival are needed today more than anytime in our history! But how much time do we have? Revival starts with you and me – in our hearts. But first of all, if you are not a Christian, you can’t even be revived because you must first be “vived” or made alive in Christ.

Elizabeth Johnston, Activist Mommy: Fighting for Faith, Family, Freedom

by Stand Up For The Truth | Dec 18, 2019 | Abortion, American Church, culture war, Government, LGBTQ, Podcast, Politics and Faith | 0 |

Should Christians engage the culture and help expose darkness? Didn’t Jesus say we are the light of the world? Are so-called political and social issues also moral issues we should be speaking about? Today’s guest, author and activist Elizabeth Johnston, aka the Activist Mommy, says ‘absolutely,’ and states: “The Left has been advancing and claiming more territory while we have attended church, content to wait for Jesus to come back.”

Mary Danielsen: Feminism, History & the Church

by Stand Up For The Truth | Dec 11, 2019 | American Church, Bible Prophecy, Podcast | 0 |

There has been a war against Christ for thousands of years, and a war on truth throughout the world today. We’re at the point gender roles are being counterfeited and reversed. There’s a war on men as we see from the “purposeful cultural confusion about what makes a he a he and a she a she” as today’s guest puts it.

One of the questions David asks is how did we get to the point women are in positions of authority over men in so many churches around the country?

Linda Harvey: Sexual Corruption in Education and Culture

by Stand Up For The Truth | Dec 3, 2019 | Abortion, American Church, Culture & Morality, Homosexual Agenda, LGBTQ, Podcast, Religious Freedom | 0 |

Our culture is in a state of chaos. From young children being taught they can be whatever gender they choose, to adults being too busy or overwhelmed to deal with the onslaught of propaganda against Christians, biblical values, and religious freedom; something must change before it’s too late.

Linda Harvey writes: “Truth is critical to a dying patient, and America is gravely ill. All that can save her is all that has ever been able to save her–the blood of Jesus Christ. But when will comfortable Christians proclaim this truth to the nation? What will it take for the church to return to its first love?

Walter Hoye: Black Pre-Born Lives Matter to God

by Stand Up For The Truth | Nov 25, 2019 | Abortion, American Church, Christianity, Liberalism, Podcast, Pro-Life | 0 |

Black lives in mother’s wombs are perhaps some of the most endangered human beings. There is an abortion every 26 seconds in America, and in recent years, statistics show the black and Hispanic populations taking the hit. In New York City, for example, more black babies are now aborted than born.

Mike Gendron: The True Gospel, Tradition, and Catholic Church History

by Stand Up For The Truth | Nov 17, 2019 | American Church, Catholic, Christianity, Evangelism, Gospel, Podcast, Social Justice | 1 |

Why so many religions and denominations? Nearly one in five people worldwide identify with the Roman Catholic Church. Many are serious practitioners while others have no idea what their church’s teachings include. But it is a very popular religion that feeds the need many people have to rely on good works. The problem is they miss the importance of the authority of Scripture, the true gospel, and justification by faith. Today’s guest is author and evangelist, Mike Gendron.

Just Tell Me What Makes Me Feel Good!

by Stand Up For The Truth | Nov 8, 2019 | American Church, Christianity, Discipleship, Evangelism, Leadership, Persecution, Podcast, Seeker Friendly | 2 |

“Please, pastor, tell me what I want to hear. Make me feel good. No hard truths, no tough topics, just love and grace and encouragement. Don’t get too deep. I just want to enjoy my life and not to be challenged in my faith.” Sound extreme? People may not admit it, but we might be surprised how common this attitude is among churchgoers in America.

Today’s guest is evangelist, pastor/teacher, and former Muslim, Elijah Abraham.

Kanye West: Former Blasphemer Now Christian Brother

by Stand Up For The Truth | Nov 6, 2019 | American Church, Christian Growth, Christianity, Culture & Morality, Discipleship, Entertainment, Gospel, Podcast | 0 |

Breaking: Kanye West is human! Yes he is apparently a new convert to Christianity. Yes he seems to be bearing some fruit for the kingdom of God. Yes, he was a blasphemer, idolater, self-worshiper. Yes, he has a long way to go.

But we’ve heard from pastors, celebrities, ministry leaders, and fans. We’ve heard many good reports about the sincerity and boldness of Kanye’s faith in Christ and enthusiasm for the gospel.

Bottom line: let’s pray for his growth and maturity, and watch with cautious optimism.

Witchcraft: from Culture to Classroom to Church?

by Stand Up For The Truth | Nov 1, 2019 | American Church, Christianity, Education, Entertainment, Podcast, Public Schools, Satanism, Spiritual Warfare, Witchcraft | 0 |

All Hallows Eve, All Saints Day, Halloween, Day of the Dead, Harvest Festival, Thanksgiving, Advent, Christmas. The list could go on. As Christians, we live for Jesus Christ and celebrate Him. To live is Christ. He said to His followers “You are the light of the world.” What does that mean? How then should we live and can light mix with darkness?

We recently talked about Halloween and its origins, and discussed how Christians should celebrate it if at all. But we’re moving on to something that is evident in our culture and country year-round, sometimes obvious, often subtle: witchcraft. It’s prevalent in our culture and entertainment industry, kids games, the Internet, and in public school curriculum.

How has the church generally responded?

Pastor’s Perspective on Hot Topics

On today’s program, we get to tackle some hot topics in our culture and in the church and get a pastor’s perspective. Our guest is Pastor Landon Churchill of Freedom Fellowship Church in Kaukauna, Wisconsin (founded in 2007). So many issues, so little time. Let’s get right to the important issues of the day!

God Determines What Satisfies

Today’s discussion is a powerful one that everyone in Christ needs to hear. Dave spoke the assertion that “many attending churches today think they are saved, but they are not.” Is that scriptural?

Rebecca Kiessling: What it Means to be 100% Pro-Life

by Stand Up For The Truth | Jan 17, 2020 | Abortion, Christianity, Creation, Podcast, Pro-Life | 0 |

God speaks very clearly in Scripture on the subject of human life and the value of the unborn. It’s quite confusing why some Christians are still open to exceptions on abortion and others are proudly pro-choice. Even science and biology provide evidence for human life in the womb.

We know at conception, a person’s complete DNA is present – separate from the mother – and we know when a baby’s heart starts beating, when their organs are developed, and that babies can feel pain in the womb at 20 weeks. But today, we’re looking closely at the issue of rape victims and their children.

Jay Seegert: What on Earth are You Doing?

by Stand Up For The Truth | Jan 14, 2020 | Apologetics, Christian Church, Discipleship, Gospel, Podcast, Salvation, the Gospel | 0 |

“A firefighter rescuing people from a burning building may be fearful and prefer to be home with his family, but he ignores his fears and denies himself. Like him, our thoughts are not on ourselves but on the fate of the perishing.” Evangelist, Ray Comfort, Living Waters Ministry

Today’s topic is evangelism, sharing our faith, and the gospel. We discuss reasons to share the gospel as well as why most of us don’t do it. How much of it comes down to our obedience and trusting the Lord? Today’s guest is Jay Seegert of The Starting Point Project

Tina Marie Griffin: Christian Parents, Please Protect Your Kids!

by Stand Up For The Truth | Jan 13, 2020 | Christianity, Culture & Morality, Education, Hollywood, LGBTQ, Podcast, Public Schools, Witchcraft | 0 |

Most of us know and understand the fact that too much screen time can affect our lives. Some would say screens are frying our brains, but we won’t go that far. Media affects us emotionally as well, to the point some people simply have to unplug for a while. Kids need to do this even more so as they are forming life habits – including a worldview – and social media and technology does affect their young minds and behavior.

For Christian parents, the importance of protecting your children from all the dangers, seductions, and perversions on social media cannot be overstated. All parents must go the extra mile and take this very seriously. We catch up with Counter Culture Mom, Tina Marie Griffin to talk about the dangers of social media and today’s ‘accepted’ forms of entertainment.
