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

Messianic Prophecies and the Master Plan of God

by Stand Up For The Truth | Dec 24, 2019 | Apologetics, Bible Prophecy, Christianity, Podcast, Teaching | 0 |

The Bible tells us that long before the world began, God orchestrated a masterful plan to reconcile sinners to a holy, loving God. Through history, He provided a road map as He foretold various signs and specific conditions by which the Messiah would arrive to save mankind. His prophets spoke of things to watch for so the Messiah would be recognized and believed.

Before the world began, He knew that Jesus would come to earth and give Himself as a holy and final offering for sin; once and for all. A baby born of a virgin in a manger would become the Lamb of God. To those who trust in Him and obey His commandments, God has promised a fulfillment to our hope in Christ: He is returning soon, and we will be in His presence for eternity.

Preston & Kelly Condra: Bearing Good, Lasting Fruit for God

by Stand Up For The Truth | Dec 17, 2019 | Apologetics, Christianity, Evangelism, Podcast | 0 |

Anyone can do good deeds. You don’t have to be a Christian to have good works in life. But we do need the Holy Spirit to bear good fruit. What’s the difference? Spiritual fruit. John chapter 15 is about believers abiding in the Vine in order to bear good, lasting fruit that glorifies God.

Also, what’s the difference between quenching the Spirit and grieving the Spirit.? We’ll discuss this today, as well as how a Christian is to be continually yielded to the Lord in order to be “filled with the Spirit.”

Don Veinot: on Jehovah’s Witnesses, Enneagrams

Some Christians prefer to remain on the sidelines rather than speak truth to others or address the many controversial issues being debated these days. But if the church doesn’t preach the full gospel, confront apostasy and expose evil, many people will remain confused and lost, eternally.

Juan Valdez: Critical Thinking, Culture Wars, and Apologetics

by Stand Up For The Truth | Nov 26, 2019 | Apologetics, Christianity, Creation, Evangelism, Podcast, Worldview | 0 |

People often ask fair questions about faith, God, the Bible, or about truth. Today’s youth are no different. Can you really know God, does absolute truth exist, if God is love why is there evil, do Christians live by blind faith? And many other honest questions.

But there’s a problem. Too often, believers in Christ do not have good, thoughtful answers for them. Are we equipped to answer these questions let alone help today’s young people for the spiritual and cultural battles they face every day?

Jay Seegert on Creation vs Evolution

by Stand Up For The Truth | Nov 22, 2019 | Apologetics, Christianity, Creation, Jay Seegert, Podcast, Worldview | 0 |

The universe reveals a complexity, design, and magnificence that staggers the imagination, and logic shows us that life could not have appeared by some random, spontaneous process. Evidence seems to point to a master plan and an intelligent being; such intricate, organized design must have come from a Designer.

The theory of evolution however, has been generally accepted by the scientific community and academia, and taught as fact in most public schools across America.

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?

Narrow is the road. Narrow is the gate.

Gathering Storms of War in the Middle East

The Bible teaches us that in the final years before our Lord’s return there would be a large, destructive war against Israel by her enemies. Could we be witnessing the stage being set for the final chapter of Earth’s history before the Lord Himself returns to judge mankind and establish his everlasting kingdom?

Gary Kah of Hope for the World joins Mike to discuss the events that seem to be pushing the world one step closer to the return of our Lord and Savior?

Christians Vs LGBTQ in “Post-Christian” America?

by Stand Up For The Truth | Sep 12, 2019 | American Church, Apologetics, Beliefs, Biblical Social Justice, Christianity, Church Leadership, Culture & Morality, Discrimination, Evangelism, Podcast | 0 |

There can be no doubt the rules of cultural engagement for Christians is changing rapidly – especially as we attempt to share our faith and live our lives. Just the mere mention of the Bible or the word “Christian” conjures up accusations of being an intolerant bigot, homophobe, and hater.

What do we do as Christian witnesses who are instructed to be salt and light in the world?

Today Mike and David take a comprehensive look at the controversy surrounding New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees who is being criticized from all angles over his recent support of the national campaign, “Bring Your Bible to School Day” (Oct. 3). Brees also responded to the criticism he received from cultural bullies and LGBTQ advocates as well as the Christian Community.

The Subtle Erosion of Biblical Literacy

Change is sometimes abrupt and immediate, but more often it is comprised of a slow erosion over time as little by little truth is replaced with opinions and emotions. The serious decline of Christianity in America is the result of decades of subtle changes in what has been and is currently being taught in public education, what is presented in media, and from pulpits that often seem more interested in placating culture instead of speaking God’s truth and shining the light of Christ truth into it.

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.

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.

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.
