Don Veinot, Jr.

Ron Henzel

Don Veinot and Ron Henzel talk to Mary Danielsen about the fallout from the Bill Gothard teachings of the 80s and 90s. Having clearly imploded from aberrant teaching and immoral behaviour,  it came to the fore in the recent documentary, “Shiny Happy People” which brought shame to the cause of Christ in a much larger public context. The children who were raised in it seem to be drifting toward deconstruct mode regarding their faith; some who wish to hang on to their faith have a long road of disentanglement ahead. So is there anything to be gained by exposing it today? What exactly was the ignition spark that brought this legalistic belief system into evangelical families in the first place? Cults – and legalists – are not just limited to extra-curricular doorbell ringers but they can and are in the midst of the church doing untold damage.

Their work, A Matter of Basic Principles, recently updated and re-released, is a difficult read but Gothard’s influence on evangelicalism must be seen for what it is, an absolute tragedy that serves as a cautionary tale to the church.

Founder & President of  Timothy Plan

Arthur D. Ally is Founder and President of Timothy Plan, the nation’s leading Biblically based, pro-life, pro-family mutual fund group which uses stringent moral screening criteria designed to avoid investing shareholders’ money in any company that has a pattern of contributing to the cultural pollution of society. He is general partner of Timothy Partners Ltd. (the fund’s sponsor/advisor) and past president of Covenant Financial Management Inc. (CFM), a financial planning firm he founded in 1990 prior to establishing Timothy Plan.

A much sought-after conference speaker, Ally has presented seminars and workshops for Christian conventions throughout the United States, primarily to registered financial advisors and investors. (Bio)

(Replay from January 9, 2019) Mike LeMay & David Fiorazo continue discussing how that which calls itself “Christianity” in America is becoming anything but biblical Christianity more and more.  We look at a Lip Sync event at Luther Seminary in Minnesota to show just how far off the rails one denomination has fallen. We also look at a recent statement by the National Evangelical Association supporting the LGBTQ movement in its special rights under the guise of “equality.”

In our first segment, we talk with Art Ally of The Timothy Plan to discuss biblical generosity and how the money Christians invest in corporations and stocks is being used to either glorify God or support those who oppose biblical Christian values.

“Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord.
“And do not touch what is unclean;
And I will welcome you. 2 Corinthians 6:17

But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. 2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. 6 For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 2 Timothy 3:1-7

Evangelical groups hop on LGBTQ bandwagon

As reported by World magazine, “(CCCU and NAE) have formally endorsed principles that would add sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) to federal nondiscrimination law.” The U.S. Pastor Council, a growing inter-racial, inter-denominational network of local Pastor Councils that was founded and grew from the flagship Houston Area Pastor Council (the team that led the defeat of lesbian former Mayor Annise Parker’s pro-LGBTQ “Equal Rights Ordinance” in 2015) is calling out the NAE and CCCU for this indefensible act of yielding moral truth for perceived temporary protections.

Nate Danser

Terra Koslowski and Josh Parise, Founder/Director or Ephesians 5 Ministries talk with Nate Danser, Vice President for Ministry Outreach at Pure Life Ministries about the connection of pornography addiction and the demand for human trafficking. Human trafficking is the second largest criminal industry in the world. In order to eradicate it, we must address the demand and issues contributing to the demand. Many people want to join the fight against human trafficking, but don’t realize that their own secret sinful behaviors, might be part of creating the problem. Sexual sin is prevalent in the church, but those involved tend to struggle in secret believing the lie that it’s a harmless small sin. Nothing could be further from the truth! It is a serious issue that destroys lives, families, churches, and victimizes others. Nate has served at Pure Life Ministries since 2009 after finding healing from habitual sexual sin in their residential program in Dry Ridge, KY. In addition to discipling other men through their recovery journeys, Nate oversees audio and video production and social media for Pure Life Ministries as well as hosting their weekly podcast, Purity of Life.

Jeff Solwold and Mary Danielsen discuss pastoring in these times; what does God’s Word say about such a high calling? What are some challenges since the world changed in 2020? We also pursue some hard questions about the state of Bible Colleges and Christian Colleges as they navigate the diversity/inclusion road. What does it take to shepherd the flock of God today? What is the responsibility of the flock in supporting their leaders in all humility?

TODAY’S GUEST: Mike Gendron of Proclaiming the Gospel ministries, is an evangelist and author of Contending for the Gospel and Preparing for Eternity. Mike was a devout Roman Catholic for over 30 years, but that changed in 1981 while attending an evangelical seminar when he realized the Bible is the supreme authority for knowing truth.

We discuss the dangers of modern ecumenical religious movements, syncretism, apostasy, compromise in the Southern Baptist Church, another gospel of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis saying evangelism is pagan, and the deception of Padre Pio. 

So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. 20 But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.” 2 Peter 1:19-21

Repeat broadcast featuring former hosts Mike LeMay & David Fiorazo: 2019 will bring powerful and unique challenges and opportunities for the Christian Church in America.  Satan’s battle against the Church will intensify as he acquires more and more allies to join him in his plan to neutralize the Church by making it look more like the secular culture it is supposed to resist and oppose.

We start this new year by looking at the prophetic signs of 2018 that might be pointing to the return of the Lord, along with the increased persecution of true believers around the world.  Is this persecution a preview of the life coming for true believers in America?

Mike’s Opening Thoughts Transcript:  Stand Up For the Truth 2019

As we start a new year, our ninth year broadcasting Stand Up For the Truth, I want to give you an idea on an area we will be focusing on heavily in 2019.

We will continue to look at national and world news that affects Christians, but it is clear what is happening in the world.  The hatred of Jesus and His Word is increasing dramatically and Paul’s warnings in Romans 1 of God turning people over to a reprobate mind because they rejected His truth seems to be happening with greater frequency.

The persecution of Jesus’ true church is accelerating around the world.  China, India, Iran and Russia are sending clear warnings to Christians that their allegiance better be to government and not God.  In India, dominated by the Hindu religion which has always been seen and promoted as a non-violent religion, radical Hindus have went on a killing spree bent on destroying Christian churches in India.

Politically the intense battle between Globalists bent on world government, and Nationalists who believe individual nations should be able to enforce their own borders and laws, is raging throughout Europe and America.  And make no mistake Globalism is the vehicle through which a one-world government will one day be ushered in, just as the Bible warns.

We will continue to report and bring perspective on these and other issues, pointing us to the Bible to determine truth and understand the spiritual ramifications of what is going on.

But we are also going to take a more in-depth look at what is happening to Christianity here in America within our own churches.   I am convinced there is a great schism going on in virtually every Christian denomination; a schism we haven’t seen the likes of since Luther’s Protestant Reformation.  Once you get beyond the denominational quirks and peculiarities, we see something much more important happening: there is a spiritual war going on for the very soul of Christianity in America.

When we look at the condition of Christian Churches in Communist China, I believe we see the future model of churches here in America.  The day is coming when the Supreme Court will uphold a government request to bring churches and Christian organizations more under government control.  When this happens, everything will change for Christian Churches in America and I believe we will see the “China Model” come to fruition in America where there will be state-endorsed Christian Churches that surrender to Caesar instead of submitting to God, effectively rendering them useless in proclaiming the gospel and truth of God’s Word.  Some churches who choose to remain faithful to God’s Word will slowly be driven underground.

I believe professing Christian Churches in America can be roughly divided into three camps presently:

We are seeing an increasing number of churches compromising with secular culture.  The Church Growth movement ushered in by Peter Drucker via Bill Hybels and Rick Warren seems to have become the gold standard by which many churches gauge success these days.  Rather than opposing secular culture and its growing sinfulness many churches who buy into the Church Growth movement seem to be embracing secular culture in their methods and teaching.

Americans who want more and more things of this world are finding an ally in the Prosperity Preaching movement, where we are told we can have all the things of this world as long as we have just enough Jesus to be saved.

A strange blend of Christian teachings and New Age philosophy is infiltrating an increasing number of churches.  Yoga and Transcendental Meditation, hallmarks of Buddhist and Hindu teachings, have established a foothold in a growing number of churches, creating spiritual confusion.

Recent studies over the past year that we will cover in the coming weeks show an alarming rate of ignorance about God and the Bible within professing Christian circles.  Only one in three people who call themselves “born-again believers” now think the Word of God is absolute truth, and experts predict that only 4% of our youth will ever become truly born-again believers.  So the future leadership of our church and nation are in peril.

We have seen increased pressure from government, education and media to dismantle Christianity in America.  To date, these efforts have often been more subtle, but they will intensify in the coming few years and the pressure on Christian churches will become increasingly intense.  What we faced here in DePere, Wisconsin, is but the first shot over the bow aimed at silencing biblical Christian Churches, and Satan has only begun his efforts.  He has government, media, education and public opinion on his side as true biblical Churches face increasing pressure to cave in or be marginalized.

Church leaders will be forced to make a decision that will have eternal spiritual consequences for their members:  Will they remain faithful to God and His Word or cave in to pressure for growth and acceptance, surrendering to secular culture?

Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, 2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4
