-
The Case for Islamaphobia / Syria
Walid believes that the accusation of Islamaphobia is an attempt by Muslims to place the term on the same level as anti-Semitism or other racial issues. He believes it will never be successful because the diagnosis of Islamaphobia includes a prescription that says that afflicted individuals must necessarily agree with the Constitution of the U.S. This is due to the fact that critiquing religion is not a phobia; it's part of our rights as Americans.
-
Focus on Evangelism
Vic began this edition of Crosstalk by talking about the Bible story that depicts a young man possessed by evil spirits. He came before Jesus and Jesus set him free. In his joy over what had been done he wanted to go with Jesus and the disciples but Jesus told him that he should stay behind and tell his friends what the Lord has done. This is important because while many of us may have dreamed of doing what other Christians might see as "great things" for God, perhaps God is calling you to...
-
The Battle for Marriage
Mat explained that if for some reason 5 justices were to say that there's a constitutional right to same-sex marriage, that will cause catastrophic changes in the areas of morality, our free exercise of religion, freedom of speech and aberrant same-sex activity and behavior within the public schools beginning in Kindergarten. Regarding Prop 8 specifically, Mat believes that the justices are uncomfortable making a broad rule that will affect the entire nation and ultimately undermine the...

Thrice Trumpeted Truths
Mark began by noting that it was Elihu, one of Job's friends who said, "For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not."

Supreme Court to Hear Marriage Cases

Environmental Issues
One billboard that CFACT put up claimed that there has been no global warming for the past 16 years. A billboard from another campaign in New York showed that the population of polar bears has actually increased since the 1960's. So why do we continue to hear of so many things that are attributed to global warming? Craig indicated that there are estimates showing that there is as much as 7 billion dollars of government grant money that's given out annually for global research. Then there's...

The Magdeburg Confession (The Lesser Magistrate Doctrine)
As the rule of law continues to deteriorate in America, is it possible that there are instances where the Lesser Magistrate Doctrine should be executed?

Find out as Matt and Vic analyze the historic roots and the possible contemporary applications of this little known confession.

President Obama's Coming Trip to Israel
President Obama is heading to Israel next week. Because the president is in his second term, David believes the president feels he can do almost whatever he wants on foreign policy now that he doesn't have to "look over his shoulder" at voters and donors. He expects President Obama to stroke the Israeli public and try to get them on his side regarding a two-state solution that includes an independent Palestinian state within Israel.

Conclave To Begin
The conclave to elect the next pope to lead the Roman Catholic Church is set to begin tomorrow. At the same time there is talk of scandal within the church as well as debate over what type of pope should be elected. Actually, before a person delves into those issues, one must ask about the doctrines and teachings of Catholicism to find out whether or not people are being led astray.
-
The True Gospel
The broadcast begins with Paul discussing how the gospel has been reduced to a number of simple questions which include: Do you know you are a sinner? Would you like to go to heaven? Would you like to pray and ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart? If the respondent prays that prayer, we then ask if he/she was sincere. If the respondent answers "yes" to these questions, we declare the individual to be "born again." Paul points out how this is not the gospel of Jesus Christ, "...and that...

Concerns with the TSA
The Transportation Security Administration was formed after 9/11. It used to come under the authority of the Department of Transportation but now operates under the banner of Homeland Security. Their screeners or "officers" who pat you down in airports have no arresting authority or federal law enforcement training. In fact, Chelsea told listeners that they don’t even have to have a G.E.D. or high school diploma if they have x-ray experience. In short, they have authority similar to that of...

Chicago Style Presidency: Journalist Threatened by White...
In an e-mail, Bob Woodward, a fixture of the Washington Media scene, was told by a White House official named Gene Sperling that he would regret taking the position as he had been reporting it. Woodward felt that he was being intimidated. This is an example of how the reporting landscape has changed over the past 30 years. As news corporations have come under financial pressure, they have gutted or retired the top level of its newsrooms. So now Floyd feels the reporters are junior people in...

Obama Administration Continues to Push LGBT Issues
President Obama last week urged the Supreme Court to overturn California's same-sex marriage ban. It marked the first time a U.S. president has urged the Supreme Court to expand the rights of gays and lesbians to wed. If adopted by the court, it will likely result in homosexual marriage becoming legal in 7 other states. Oral arguments will take place on March 26th.

Facebook: Friend or Foe?
Christians have become drawn to social networking Internet sites like Facebook and Twitter but what kind of witness for Christ are non-believers seeing? Unfortunately, these social networking outlets are bringing out or causing many professing Christians to exhibit behavior we might not normally see from them; behaviors such as gossip, idolatry, glorification of self and poor time management. In essence, these sites can become so all-consuming that even Christian users can literally find...

Evolution Impossible
According to Dr. Ashton, changes or mutations to DNA can happen when there is a loss of some of the code or the code is damaged or if the code has new components added to it. No scientist has ever seen the substantial amounts of new code forming that would be required to prove the existence of evolution. In other words, many scientists don't have any solid evidence that proves the existence of evolution yet they continue to propagate the manufactured assertion that evolution is a real...

Government Actions Causing Concern
Vic discussed several current events that should be of concern to American citizens, and to people of faith. Among them: The annual Government Accounting Office audit of United States' finances concludes that unless there are policy changes, the current fiscal path is unsustainable, and will result in the collapse of the dollar. Military exercises—often unannounced—which are so realistic they frighten citizens and generate 911 calls that activate local emergency responders The Obama...

Then Sings My Soul--Hymn Stories
Pastor Morgan believes hymns are important to the Christian faith because they represent 2,000 years of our musical and worshipful heritage and 1,500 years of biblical heritage. All totaled, it's a legacy of 3,500 years of hymnody that's often ignored in churches and this ignoring puts us in danger of losing this great tradition that helps anchor our faith.
-
Transgender Chaos
The slippery slope started with a word like tolerance. We were told we just need to tolerate the homosexual lifestyle. This new tolerance was promoted in schools. Then we saw a push toward domestic partnerships and civil unions, but this just became a stepping stone for what is being called "same-sex marriage".

U.S. Home School Freedom Under Attack?
The Romeike family went to German authorities to let them know of their desire to home school their children and the government came at them with the full force of the law via threats of fines and criminal prosecution.

Eventually the Romeike's came to the U.S. on a regular tourist application but as soon as they arrived they applied...

Abstinence Education Reallocation Act
Valerie Huber pointed to the fact that today sex among teens has been normalized. In fact, some who oppose abstinence education believe that teen experimentation is a healthy aspect of teen maturation therefore abstinence education is harmful. The result?

In African American teen girls...

Arming Al-Qaeda, Disarming Americans
Ted Shoebat noted that President Obama doesn't want Americans to have semi-automatic and automatic weapons.

Abortion: Safe and Legal?
If a Kindergarten teacher were killed by a gunman it would be the top story on news outlets across America. The President might even get involved as he addresses the nation about another senseless killing, probably telling us why we need tougher gun control laws. But what if the killing occurred, not because of a gunman, but because she was the victim of a botched abortion? This Crosstalk describes the circumstances that led to the February 7th death of 29 year old Jennifer McKenna Morbelli....

State of the Union Reaction
Jim presented an interesting quote from the President: "So together we have cleared away the rubble of crisis and we can say with renewed confidence that the state of our union is stronger." Robert disagreed and reminded listeners that unemployment remains at around 8%. Government spending is out of control with a deficit of 16 trillion dollars and the interest on the national debt alone set to consume about 500 billion per year. In spite of this, President Obama asked for a number of new...

The Pope Resigns
Yesterday mainstream media outlets began reporting that the current Roman Catholic Pope, Pope Benedict XVI, would be retiring at the end of this month, something that hasn't been done in nearly 600 years. Mike comments on numerous aspects of this decision including: The cardinals that meet in a secret conclave to chose the new Pope; the leading candidates to become the new Pope; why Matthew 16:18 does not reveal the Apostle Peter as the first Pope; man-made unity vs. biblical unity and more.

Global Climate Change
It's unfortunate that President Obama added to the pool of false information recently when he mentioned global climate change in his inaugural address and Al Gore resurfaced recently when he commented on coal pollution.

The Push for Gun Control
Senator Feinstein of California has proposed gun ban legislation (S. 150). This legislation would ban up to 50% of all long guns currently in circulation, 80% of handguns in circulation and possibly ban every magazine. Michael Hammond feels it won't pass because it's just too extreme. Actually, this legislation may be a type of distraction designed to make universal background checks and the eventual creation of a national gun registry look like a sensible, bipartisan solution. Get the...

HHS Mandate on Healthcare-Unacceptable
As Dr. Stevens noted, the Obama administration has moved away from the idea of freedom of religion and instead is touting freedom of worship. What you do in your church is your business. However, as soon as you walk outside your church, there is no exemption available for religious liberty or right of conscience. In other words, what you do in your church has no application to how you live your life in the public square.

Some believe that the infiltration of ungodly philosophies in American education began with President Obama while others believe it began in the 1960's. Colin Gunn, however, believes it began to occur already back in the 1800's when there w ere individuals like Robert Owen and Horace Mann who desired a new type of utopian society. These individuals believed that man could be perfected through education and the result is that now we have this massive compulsory education system that is...

Boy Scouts to Capitulate on Homosexuality?
The Boy Scouts are planning to make a decision in the very near future about possibly overturning their policy that for the first time would allow homosexuals to be involved in the scouting program. Peter feels the Boy Scouts have been harassed by liberals and homosexual activists ever since they won in the Supreme Court in 2000 to live by their own moral creed. Jim pointed out that this is astounding because the scouts just conducted a two-year study on this and just 7 months ago they came...

Benghazi: Why it Matters
Last September 11th in Benghazi, our consulate came under attack by a fundamentalist Islamic assault. According to Ben, not only was security denied, it was withdrawn. In the wake of it all, Christopher Stevens, who for some reason went to the compound days before, ended up dying along with IT Manager Sean Smith and two former Navy Seals. Jim noted that in subsequent days the line that we kept hearing from Susan Rice was that this was spontaneous activity due to an anti-Muslim You Tube video.

Gradualism: The Islamist Strategy for Victory
The strategy employed by Islamists, particularly the Muslim Brotherhood, involves a patient, long-term effort known as "gradualism". This is a bottom-up approach to achieving the objective of governance within a nation. In the short-term this involves converting people to the religion of Islam, destroying church support for Israel and interfaith engagement with churches and Christian organizations.

Right to Bear Arms: What Does God Say?
This Crosstalk began with some history as Sam Rohrer explained that the 2nd Amendment on the federal level mirrors amendments that were already contained within the constitutions from our 13 colonies; the idea that life has intrinsic value as coming from God and that this life is to be protected not only by the government, but by the people as well. As you review this program you'll learn the biblical instructions for self-defense at the personal and collective levels, the root cause of our...

How Do We Know the Bible is True?
This is a fascinating program dealing with issues that confirm the truth of the Bible. Some of the questions answered include: The Bible is written by men. How can we be confident that it speaks truth and therefore is the Word of God? How could Moses have written Genesis when he wasn?t even around at the time of the events he describes? Does the age of the earth really matter? Is it important to be a defender of the faith? Is hell a real place? Where did Cain get his wife?

The Question of Military Suicide
Sadly, there were 349 military suicides in 2012, a record high, far exceeding American combat deaths in Afghanistan. This may seem confusing, especially when you consider the fact that we are winding down our involvement in Afghanistan. Could it be the transition period back to peaceful, societal living that poses a challenge for soldiers? Do factors such as the continued ousting of God as seen in the tide of homosexual acceptance in the military play a role? Find out what callers had to say...

Gun Control by Executive Order
The debate regarding whether people should be allowed to own guns is a hot issue because you're dealing with the personal property and personal safety of many Americans. Unfortunately, as Larry Pratt discusses, there are those on the other side who have a seemingly animistic view regarding guns, treating them as though they have a life of their own concerning where and when they fire.

Resolutions for Battling the LGBT Agenda

The Death Culture and its Influence on our Kids
While some individuals may believe that the answer to national tragedies such as the Connecticut shooting can be found through increased gun control legislation, the bottom line is that this subject involves three elements: people, sin and the enemy of our souls who is busily at work attempting to bend the minds of our youth away from news of Christ.

Vic began this edition of Crosstalk by noting an interesting contrast related to the story that 26 lives were taken in a Connecticut elementary school shooting today.

Right To Work
What is the right-to-work? According to Mark, every worker in America has to have the protected right to join a labor union. Unfortunately, for many years our legal system has allowed unions to demand that workers pay dues in order to get or keep a job. Right-to-work laws protect a worker's right to join a union but they also insist that a worker cannot be compelled to pay union dues to get a job.

Seniors and the "Fiscal Cliff"
Social Security is not solvent and in 3 years the disability section will go bankrupt. In 19 years, the basic Social Security will run out of trust funds and only be able to pay out at a 75% rate. In other words, if nothing is done, recipients at that time will take a 25% cut in benefits. However, Dan agrees that Social Security should be separate from the "fiscal cliff" negotiations.

SCOTUS Accepts Marriage Cases
Brad Dacus believes that if the court rules that D.O.M.A. (basically one-man/one woman marriage) is unconstitutional, then we'll have an "open heyday" for homosexual marriage as well as other types of marriage that could eventually become protected including polygamy or even adult incest.

Approaching The "Fiscal Cliff"
Michael Connelly believes there is no offer for definite spending cuts on the table from President Obama.

U.N. Disability Treaty / News Round Up
If ratified, Article 7 of the U.N.

Egypt's Coming Tyranny
The world was told that the Arab Spring was all about ushering in liberty and democracy.

He believes the Egyptian people have become a mob and that if you look at the protestors closely, you can see that it will be the youth of Egypt that will usher in Sharia law. When they do, it will not only be the government that will be...

Israel Under Attack
Why hasn't all-out war taken place in Israel yet? It could be due to the part Egypt must play.

A Push for Climate Control
As hurricane Sandy was inflicting damage, one could only wonder how former Vice President Al Gore would react. On his own blog site, Brian Sussman predicted what Gore's response would be. Gore not only blamed the catastrophe on the burning of fossil fuels but went so far as to say it was strengthened by climate change. The problem is not one meteorologist would connect global warming or climate change with hurricane frequency, intensity or severity.

Deadline Approaches for Health Insurance Exchanges
November 6th is the election date, but November 16th is also an important day. That is the deadline for the nation's governors to declare their intentions regarding implementation of a health insurance exchange under Obamacare. The November 16th deadline is artificial and has no basis in state or federal law. Does it pay to contact state governors? After all, if a state doesn't implement a state exchange, won't they automatically default to the federal government's exchange? Did the federal...

Buyer Beware
Should we be engaged? After all, American culture is a messy place. Janet pointed to our God who has given us guidelines for cultural engagement. She mentioned John 17 where Jesus is on his way to the cross, yet in spite of that heavy burden, he prayed for us. Here he isn't praying to the Father that we be allowed to escape to our "holy huddles" but instead he prays that we'd be given the strength to engage the culture.

Music can motivate; it can be a blessing, but it can be abrasive as well as a curse. It's this very challenging topic of music and worship in the church that was covered on this edition of Crosstalk. Remember that God does not accept all forms of worship allegedly geared toward Him. He's looking for those who worship Him in spirit and in truth. This fact alone makes this Crosstalk a critical one worth reviewing as well as sharing with friends and loved ones.

Erich describes why the answer is no, and with Vic, discusses other factors that prove why allowing law-abiding citizens to carry guns, is a great deterrent to crime.

European Ministry and the State of the European Church
This Crosstalk was an example of how we can't forget to monitor and pray for the needs of those ministering the gospel in places other than America. Christian Andresen began by describing Europe as basically a godless society. As an example, he cited East Germany where now only 2.5% believe that there is a God. Where did things go wrong? Christian believes the church lost its focus and went more with culture and traditions rather than focusing on the Bible and God.

The Fossil Record: A Problem for Evolutionists
The creation model can be defined as a model of sudden appearance. That's precisely what we see in the fossil record; many varieties coming from a single kind but one kind never becoming a different kind. What about the origin of the fossil record? How do evolutionists believe it came about? Is the evolutionary "tree" 100% factual or filled with inference? These questions and more are dealt with as Dr. Morris explains how the fossil record has Christianity winning the origins battle.

Reality--Virtual or Virtuous
In our modern society there seems to be and incessant desire for entertainment and excitement and this can lead to parents who allow or even encourage unbiblical choices in the lives of their kids just to prevent them from getting bored. When Satan clouds the mind, virtuousness disappears and that which we often call virtual reality gets played out. As we've seen, in acting out these scenes of the mind, people get killed.
