Drugs on SermonAudio

There is a danger of being drug away or held back from purity in worship and service to the Lord based upon evil influences by those closest to us in our family—and especially when we are most vulnerable during our old age. Serve the LORD with Zeal in Your Olden Years.

This sermon looks at 18 links to depression, often found in the lives of modern Christians. Although there are times when we are called to press on in spite of depression, there are often many times when it can be avoided by what we do or do not do. The Bible, as the lamp to our feet, has much to say about the matter. We explore the amazing wisdom of the Scriptures, regarding spiritual and physical things - centuries ahead of modern scientific research - related to depression.

John Stemberger is president of Liberty Counsel Action & Senior Counsel of Liberty Counsel. He's been a conservative policy advocate for over 30 years. Abigail Forman is public policy analyst and a writer for Liberty Counsel Action. She is a former Minnesota state legislator and former Director of Public Policy for Right to Life UK. She is primary author of a groundbreaking, academic white paper exposing the horror of aborted babies from chemical abortions being flushed into our water system. For multiple decades, regardless of the administration in Washington, we've heard the mantra about clean air and water. As a result, environmental policies are set. In light of that, Jim noted a new report that has recently been issued titled: Abortion in our Water: Chemical Home Abortions and the Disposition of Aborted Fetal Remains. It notes that under the Trump administration, having the cleanest air and water in the world for generations is a priority. However, on a daily basis, our waterways are being contaminated by chemical abortion drugs and human remains. This is due to the fact that American women are often left alone at home to endure the agonizing process of expelling their pregnancy as they're often instructed by abortion providers to dispose of the remains of their aborted babies by flushing them down the toilet. This edition of Crosstalk covers much ground as it begins by looking at the back-story of this topic which takes us back to the year 2000 when chemical abortions were first approved by the FDA. At that time, such abortions were small in number. Today, they represent somewhere between 64% to 70% of all abortions.

Mark Krikorian is a nationally recognized expert on immigration issues serving as the Executive Director of Center for Immigration Studies. When it comes to our nation's borders, the last 12 months have been quite remarkable. The last administration repeatedly told us that Congress would have to act to reform our immigration policies and laws before the borders could be secured. That turned out to be a falsehood because under Trump 2.0, the U.S. borders are more secure than ever, and with that aspect of immigration taken care of, his administration has moved on to purge what they term, "The worst of the worst." In the meantime, as we've seen in Minnesota, there are those who don't like what's taking place. They're responding by causing extreme chaos, disruption, violence, vandalism, as well as assaults. So don't miss this program as Jim interviewed Mark to have him comment on the following points related to our nation's immigration and border security: In a major legal win, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Trump administration does, in fact, have the authority and requirement to detain all illegal entrants to the U.S., even if they're caught inside the country. Yesterday, the Ninth Circuit Court gave a win to the Trump administration regarding temporary protected status to nations like Nepal, Honduras and Nicaragua. According to the Department of Homeland Security, January numbers (of border encounters) ranked 93% below the historic average, the lowest number of encounters ever for the month of January. 9 straight months of zero releases. Record drug seizures.

This message examines God's way of fighting and overcoming sinful addictions (drunkenness, pornography, drugs, etc.). Believers have God's gracious power living through us, and we have His promises and wisdom. All of this enables us to fight, suffer and win. In this age of psychology, and demonic movements, there is a great need for pure Biblical wisdom in this area of overcoming addictions. May the Lord use this sermon to help many.

📖 Proverbs 3:21-26 • We live in a generation that can't sleep. Melatonin in the medicine cabinet, anxiety on the mind, scrolling at midnight, tossing at 2:00 a.m. Solomon says there's a kind of wisdom that lets you lie down and your sleep will be sweet—and it's not drug induced, alcohol assisted, or Netflix numbing. This is the exhaustion epidemic. We're tired, but we're wired. Yet God's Word promises "sweet sleep" (Proverbs 3:24)—the kind that refreshes, restores, and renews. It starts with wisdom and discretion, and it ends with your confidence in the Lord Himself. If you walk right, you'll sleep right. But if your walking ain't right, you're going to be filled with anxiety and stress, and you won't be able to lay down in your bed and get a good night's rest. The Lord doesn't want you to live like that. This expository sermon walks through Proverbs 3:21-26, explaining: • Why we can't sleep: the exhaustion epidemic of our generation • What wisdom and discretion mean and why we must guard them • Three promises for walking: life to your soul, grace to your neck, walking safely without stumbling • Three promises for resting: no fear when lying down, sweet sleep that refreshes, freedom from sudden fear • Why walking right is the key to sleeping right • The difference between stumbling and being trapped by the enemy • How babies sleep sweet because they know their father is watching • Why your confidence must be in the Lord, not your job, health, or relationships

The sermon centers on Revelation 13:4, where people worship the dragon—Satan—alongside the beast, revealing a spiritual counterfeit to true worship. It contrasts the divine revelation of Christ, who reveals the Father and offers salvation through faith alone, with the deceptive religion of the dragon, which promotes idolatry, occultic practices, and altered states of consciousness through serpent worship, drugs like ayahuasca, and meditation. The preacher emphasizes that true worship does not require physical objects, rituals, or mystical experiences, but rests solely on the Word of God and the finished work of Christ. By exposing the spiritual dangers of seeking enlightenment through forbidden means, the message calls believers to reject all forms of religious deception and to embrace the simplicity and sufficiency of Christ. The tone is both pastoral and urgent, urging the audience to remain grounded in biblical truth and to share that truth with others.

(1) The final hostage rally takes place but Hamas continues to violate the ceasefire resulting in the IDF KILLING dozens of Hamas fighters. Meanwhile, leftist hypocrites protested the killing of Gazans by Israel at WAR, but are SILENT about the slaughter of innocent Iranian protestors by the Islamic regime. And we are happy to report the sale of Apache helicopters to Israel by the U.S. (2) We applaud I.C.E. and the important work they are performing in the removal of thieves, rapists, drug pushers, child molesters and other violent criminals. And, again, the HYPOCRITES on the Left (Democrat AND RINO Republicans) are fighting against the very laws THEY fought to pass! Video proof from Pelosi, Schumer, Bill & Hillary Clinton and Barack Insane Obama. Also a word about Tom Holman as another example of Leftist hypocrisy. (3) A hilarious spoof of CNN reporting in Star Wars as "The Most Trusted Name In Imperial-Approved Truth". https://bbfohio.com

Activity and rhetoric over immigration action and policy highlighted the headlines on this edition of the Round-Up.

(1) Israel Watch 1/28/26: The return of the remains of the final hostage held in Gaza: Ran Gvili. We observe the sadness compounded by the rejection of Israel's Messiah by those singing and praying as Ran's remains are returned to Israel. Trump threatens a "far worse" attack on Iran and Israel sends it's first ever Bobsled team to this year's Winter Olympics. (2) Satanists award Minnesota state government under Tim Walz with a plaque declaring that, "Satan has a special place for you." Demonstrating, once again, the Satanic spirit of Antichrist controlling the Democrat Party Death Cult. (3) I.C.E. and Border Patrol continue doing God's word (Romans 13:1-5) as Democrat Marxists violently resist removal of rapists, murderers, drug pushers, etc. because it hurts their political power grab in the upcoming census which effects Electoral College Votes and Congressional representation appropriations. (4) The 40th Anniversary of the Challenger disaster of 1/28/86. Featuring an abbreviated review of President Ronald Reagan's address which preempted the State of the Union that year. (5) Green Energy FAIL during Winter Storm Fern '26. (6) Some closing humor, light moments and warm fuzzies from ODOT showing a snowploy driver clearing a path in the Winter Storm to transport a patient to the hospital near Cincinnati, Ohio. https://bbfohio.com
