Brannon’s guest is Dr. Jimmy DeYoung for this week’s Middle East Update. Topic: Syria Threatens to Retaliate Against Israeli Strikes on Syria. Topic: There are still questions about an explosion at an Iranian Nuclear Facility. Topic: Prime Minister Netanyahu given permission to form coalition government as Israel faces some tough problems. Topic: The Palestinian Media says the Jews have no right to pray at the Western Wall and that only Muslims can worship there which they have done down through history.

A seeker-sensitive pastor proves again that seeker sensitive churches often end up Emergent. For the past few years, Brannon has been teaching that the ultimate goal of those behind the seeker-sensitive church movement is to take a traditional church and transform it to a seeker-sensitive church and then transform it into an Emergent style church. Brannon points to John Mark Comer, pastor of Solid Rock Church in Portland, Oregon, as another example of this fact. Hear the audio of Comer’s sermon in which he says that there are many gods. Comer says there is one creator but many gods. Topic: Brannon reads countless passages of Scripture that reveal that there is only one God and that demons mimic or take on the form of false gods. Topic: Brannon explains how Comer is taking scripture completely out of context to promote the idea of polytheism. Topic: We take your calls.

Topic: The Department of Homeland Security is working to purchase 7,000 AR-15s for personal defense. Why? Topic: Brannon explains how the manufactured economic crisis being carried out by republicans and democrats along with their amnesty program is fulfilling Saul Alinksy’s goal of a communist revolution in America that would be better described as a communitarian revolution. Topic: How will the 20-30 million illegals, combined with America’s welfare, entitlement class respond if the economy collapses or America experiences massive inflation? Are globalists deliberately setting up an economic crisis while also setting up social unrest? Where have we heard this strategy before? Topic: Republicans and Democrats offer an amnesty program to add more people to the welfare rolls and to make for more legal voters for progressives to win every national elections forever. Are republicans this stupid or are we looking at a one-party system working for the shared goal of transforming America and pushing us into European Socialism to accomplish a globalist agenda? Topic: New Religious Right and Neo-evangelical push for amnesty by taking scripture out of context. Why are republicans and evangelicals assisting in the destruction of America? Topic: We take your calls.

Brannon’s guest is Pastor Jesse Johnson. Topic: Brannon and Jesse examine Luke 14:26-27 and Mark 8:34. Why does it mean to deny yourself and to pick up your cross and follow Jesus Christ? Jesse and Brannon explain that what is being described here by Jesus is not works but simply Biblical repentance which the Bible declares as being necessary for salvation. Topic: Christians must be careful not to lead people to believe that in order to be saved they must first clean up their life as this is simply moralizing and is not Biblical. In addition, at the point of salvation not all sin habits will necessarily stop immediately. As new believers are discipled in Biblical truth and grow in grace, much of their old life will begin to fall away and this is the process of sanctification. However, repentance involves understanding your depravity, understanding you deserve God’s wrath for your sins and knowing that your salvation is nothing you can earn or deserve. This understanding produces a heart’s desire to turn from sin and to follow Christ as you surrender your will to Him. Topic: When studying Luke 14:26-27, why is it wrong to say that this passage is describing someone that becomes a Christian and later becomes a disciple? Topic: We take your calls.

Brannon’s guest is Chris Rosebrough. Topic: David Reagan has written an article in which he states, “I believe the Bible teaches the unrighteous will be resurrected, judged, punished in Hell for a period of time proportional to their sins, and then suffer destruction (the death of body and soul).” Why is this view not Biblical? Why does Chris say that Dr. Reagan has violated five important hermeneutical rules for accurate Biblical interpretation? Topic: In Matthew 25:46 Jesus speaks of eternal hell and eternal life. Topic: Dr. Reagan says the single most power argument against eternal hell is that Jesus suffered suffering and death but not eternal torment. This is an erroneous conclusion. Topic: We take your calls.

Brannon’s guest is Dr. Jimmy DeYoung for this week’s Middle East update: Topic: Netanyahu wins reelection with all of Israel's problems ahead of him in the future.

Brannon’s guest is Chris Pint. Topic: Van Jones says Obama is a communitarian. Now you know why Brannon has been telling you since 2008 that communitarianism is important to understand. Jones made this statement at a Jesuit university. Why is that an interesting fact? Topic: Vatican sides with Obama on gun control and declares that “firearms in the hands of civilians should be strictly limited and eventually completely eliminated.” Topic: Oklahoma threatens five years imprisonment for federal gun grabbers. Topic: We take your calls.

Brannon’s guest is Dr. John Whitcomb for “Ask Dr. John”. Topic: How and when were the angels created? Topic: Why would God create the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil? Was this tree created to be a food source for Lucifer? Why would God create a tree that has the power to corrupt human beings, thus cursing the entire universe? Topic: I have heard that Job was the first book of the Bible written. How do theologians know that Job was written before Moses' time, and how do they know that Moses wrote Genesis through Deuteronomy? Are there other interesting facts about the writing of the book of Job and the writings of Moses? Topic: I want to know what the Bible says about Calvinism. We do not want to go back to the Reformation but to God’s Word. I believe Calvinism is imposed on the Bible. Am I wrong? Topic: Is salvation a free gift, in that all we have to do is believe on the Lord Jesus, or must we also deny ourselves, pick up our cross and follow Him in order to be saved? Topic: Will God always forgive a person no matter how bad the sin is? Topic: Some Christians say that when Jesus preached the gospel of the kingdom (i.e., Matt. 4:23), He was preaching a spiritual kingdom. Others say that He was offering to the Jewish nation a political, earthly kingdom as covenanted in the Old Testament and prophesied by the Hebrew prophets. What is your view on this? Topic: Can a believer lose his love for Christ? Topic: You mentioned that the 144,000 will evangelize the world during the last three-and-half years of the tribulation. As I was reading Revelation 13, I came across verse 8, which mentions that if anyone's name is not in the book of life he will worship the beast. This seems to contradict the 144,000 evangelizing during this period. Topic: Can you explain how the martyrs in the fifth seal will not know that their blood is being avenged if the rapture will have already occurred (cf. Rev. 6:9-11)?

Part two with Michael Furchert. When the Berlin Wall went up, Michael’s parents and siblings were separated from Michael’s grandparents as Michael’s family lived in East Germany. Michael shares how and why his family was allowed to leave East Germany for eleven days to go into West Germany for the 60th wedding anniversary of his grandparents. East German officials were stunned that this request to travel had been granted by high ranking officials. Michael will explain why this request was granted and why his family chose to return to the tyranny of East German after eleven days of freedom in West Germany. I will give you a hint. The reason God permitted them to leave for eleven days was because Michael’s father had been faithful in a public proclamation of the gospel that fell on the ears of an official and the reason they chose to return was because they knew God had called them to minister to a small group of believers in East Germany. I urge you to listen to these two programs right away.

(Part One) Michael Furchert was raised behind the Berlin Wall in Communist East Germany. Michael's grandfather was a public school teacher and pastor in Germany during the rise of Hitler. He lost his teaching position and church because he refused to deny Jesus Christ and join the Nazi Party. Later when it was discovered he was teaching a Bible study in his home, he was shipped off to war in hope he would not return alive. Michael’s father lost his job under the regime of Communist East Germany because of his Christian testimony. With this as the backdrop, Michael calls the church in America to stop relying on politics to change our nation but to actively proclaim the gospel and live out our Biblical worldview regardless of whether we live under freedom or tyranny.

Today Brannon plays a convicting message by Michael Furchert. Michael was raised behind the Berlin Wall in Communist East Germany. Michael’s grandfather was a pastor in Germany during the rise of Hitler and he lost his church. Later when it was discovered he was teaching a Bible study, he was shipped off to war. Michael’s father lost his job under the regime of Communist East Germany because of his Christian testimony. With this as the backdrop, Michael calls the church in America to stop relying on politics to change our nation but to actively proclaim the gospel and live out our Biblical worldview regardless of living under freedom or tyranny. Michael reminds us that all of these earthly kingdoms will fall and God’s Kingdom will never end and it is the defense of the gospel and the church that counts and not a political agenda.
