Truth to Ponder

It was 19th-century preacher, Charles H Spurgeon who said, “The time will come that instead of having shepherds leading the sheep, you will have clowns entertaining the goats.” Sadly, Spurgeon’s prediction has become too true, not just in the church, but even in our increasingly evil politics. Bob shares some thoughts on that topic, along with a message of hope of how we can bear forth good fruit, by being “grafted” on the living Vine. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

Statistics show that there are more self-identified pagans in the United States than there are Presbyterians. An example of where we are as a nation is the phony holiday of Earth Day, which we talked about last week. In addition, decency and honesty are dead as we see political Lawfare play out all in the name of politics. Then the willful self-destruction of the church. Later on in the program, Jim Calhoun drops by with his observations about the disintegration of families. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

Ever since the end of World War II, we have been hearing predictions and warnings about the upcoming Third World War. For almost 80 years the war drums have been beaten, and trillions invested in Mutual Assured Destruction, known as MAD. Not only nations and corporations that can profit from war, but even so-called prophets for profit have been selling imminent war for decades. Now, while the Bible is clear about wars and rumors of wars, too many Christians are obsessed to the point of not fulfilling their true calling. Also on the program, Jim Calhoun stops by to share some thoughts on why the instability in Eastern Europe. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

The Ross family entrusted the life of their husband and father, Jason, to the care of the hospital. They were met with opposition when seeking alternatives to the prescribed protocols, and Jason ultimately passed away. On yesterday’s program, we shared the story from Minnesota of a woman who lost her healthy 70-year-old dad to the COVID protocols forced in place by arrogant government authorities, protocols that have been proven not to work and be dangerous. Today, we share the story of a husband, and father of three from Georgia, who lost his life to insane government policies. Since the summer of 2020, we have exposed the lies, the fraud, and the needless deaths caused by this man-made pathogen. We can never just forget and simply move on. Those who did this MUST be held fully accountable for what they knowingly did for financial, political, and globalist agenda gains. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

Since the summer of 2020, this program has chronicled the pandemic known as COVID-19, with all the lies, the misinformation, the ridiculous policies, and the financial and emotional costs. During this time, we have endeavored to hold those who created these policies and mandates accountable. However, as many in government and medicine try to get us to forget what they did to us, we simply cannot forget. There is a real and tragic human cost that was borne by many families. Today Bob welcomes Nicole Marxen Riggs, who shares her story about losing her dad, Ralph Marxen Jr. to the hospital protocols forced on patients during the pandemic, and sometimes even unto this day. This is a powerful program that reminds us that we MUST hold those who did this to our world accountable and that we must NOT forget. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

These past decades have seen radical and many unhealthy changes in the churches in much of the Western World. Many have abandoned their roots and core beliefs, replaced by apostate theology and teaching. Instead of being “Salt and Light,” they are messengers of darkness. Mocking God is commonplace, and a Christian worldview is no longer welcome. Could this be why there are so many disturbing headlines in the news? Bob explores that and more on this weekend edition of the program. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

A recent story out of Auburn, Georgia, a small town 25 miles northeast of Atlanta, shows how the LGBTQ and TRANS agenda is slowly and effectively invading our schools. On the program today, Bob shares the story of a video that was shown at Bramlett Elementary School to 4th and 5th graders. It was only when word leaked out on social media and the school was caught red-handed, that the school pulled the video. In a letter to parents, the Principal, Todd Graichen, using what is best described as “weasel words,” tried to defend the video being shown in the first place. This story is indicative of what is creeping into even what many believe are “safe schools.” In addition, Bob shares his thoughts on a couple of other current stories and their implication for our lives and future. In the second half of the program, Jim Calhoun shares the ideas of “New Beginnings.” It is a full program you need to hear and share. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

It’s hard to believe it has been 54 years since the first “Earth Day” observance. At the time, we were told we were going to freeze to death if something was not done immediately. We must have done extremely well, as within 20 years, the earth stopped freezing and instead was on a pathway to setting itself on fire, all because of Carbon Dioxide, beef, and our modern lifestyle, It manmade climate change fact or fiction? Bob shares his thoughts today, plus Jim Calhoun shares some thoughts on beating inflation. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

So, who is Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and what is the real story that is not being shared in most media about this case he is bringing against former President Donald Trump in New York? The more you learn about Alvin Bragg the more intense the “Odor of Mendacity,” which like the fraudulent Fani Willis Case in Georgia, connotes a mixture of dishonesty, hypocrisy, and audacity. Today, Bob lays out the truth of who is Alvin Bragg and the real merits, or lack thereof, in this ridiculous case. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

From the recent eclipse (that fascinated many in the United States), the unrest in the Middle East, and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, to even the increasing global economic instability, is time winding down?

Daily, the news is filled with gloomy headlines and often depressing stories. We read and see evil people, corruption in our governments, the truth silenced, and our faith, our families, and our finances under threat. Daily, tyranny is slowly replacing liberty.

There was once a time when many believed that the Western world was the bastion of freedom, opportunity, and justice. Sadly, that is no longer true. The justice system has degraded itself to a mere “legal system,” meaning it might be immoral, it may be evil, it may be crooked, it may be anti-justice, but it is “legal.” Money, power, and control have stolen this virtue from us. Can it ever be restored? Now, do you believe in this ministry? If you do, you can keep us on the air as a radio program and as a podcast by visiting our website, https://truth2ponder.com/support.

On every runway at every airport, there is what is known as the “Point of No Return.” Beyond that point, an aircraft must take off or run out of runway and crash. Is the free world at the “point of no return?” Is there any chance of saving our nations and civilization from the evil forces that are taking over our once-hallowed institutions? Bob explores that and more, plus gives a primer on the real story behind President Trump’s New York City trial and fiasco. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

In 1975, singer Judy Collins had a hit song, “Send in the Clowns.” Sadly, that song is now fitting for the freak show that is Washington, DC. From the Whitehouse to Congress, from government agencies, to think tanks, our government has become a moral, intellectual, and even spiritual sewer. Is it too corrupt to be repaired? Is there even any hope? Bob shares his thoughts on that topic. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

Today, in the United States, many people’s minds turn to the old Beatles song, “The Tax Man,” as the filing of our Federal (and State) income taxes is due. What do we really get for our money? Do our elected officials and unelected bureaucrats spend this money wisely? The answer is a resounding NO! The income tax in America was something our founding fathers detested, but those who want to control your lives dupped us into adopting it over 100 years ago. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

For most listeners of “Truth to Ponder,” the answer is probably yes. However, with that said, many attend churches they think are safe, even though their denomination has gone (or is going) Apostate. North America is now at a crossroads. We have gradually allowed our formerly blessed nations to slip into hostile opposition to a holy God. Are you ready for what’s next?

A lot of news stories got missed or buried this week because of Monday’s Eclipse in the United States. The media’s fixation on this naturally occurring event (approximately once every 18 months somewhere on Earth) gave great cover to ignoring many important stories here in North America. Today, Bob puts on his “Newsman Hat” and digs into a few of the missed stories that impact our lives, not just in North America, but across the globe. Now, do you believe in this ministry?
