Loosing Sight of God. Deuteronomy 8:11 KJV Many people do not wake up one day and decide to leave God. Instead, they slowly drift away. Just as a ship can move only one degree off course and eventually end up miles from where it should be, Christians can slowly lose sight of God through busyness, success, comfort, pride, and distractions. In this message, we discover that one of the greatest dangers in the Christian life is not persecution or hardship, but forgetting the Lord during seasons of blessing. Moses warned Israel before entering the Promised Land in verse 11.The message reminds us that God is the One who provides our blessings, delivers us from our troubles, and gives us the strength to succeed. When we begin taking credit for what only God could have done, we drift into spiritual danger.We will see how people lose sight of God's provision, forget His deliverance, abandon His ways, and eventually become spiritually blind. The Bible warns us in Isaiah 17:10 KJV. The consequences of forgetting God are serious for both individuals and nations in Psalm 9:17 KJV. Yet this message is not only a warning—it is also a message of hope. No matter how far a person has wandered, God still calls them home in Jeremiah 3:22 KJV Never forget the God who saved you, sustained you, blessed you, and carried you through life's journey. If you have lost sight of God, today is the day to return to Him.

We go to school to get educated. We get jobs and go to work. We marry and start a family. We buy cars and homes. We buy lots of stuff. We get saved. We prepare for retirement and we prepare for death. But what is our true purpose? We have an understanding we will be in heaven with the Lord forever (if we are saved). But do we have a purpose while we are on this earth? Is it a little more than we imagined?Why would God put the Holy Spirit inside each believer? We have both a heavenly and an earthly purpose.

On many occasions, individuals will do something so that they remember a significant life event. The Israelites gathered stones as they crossed the Jordan River. With the stones, they built a monument so that when future generations asked what the stones meant, they would hear of how God led them through and provided for them. We also put up monuments, not to worship, but to remember individuals or events that have impacted our nation in a significant way. Unfortunately, it's these statues and monuments that are under attack. Why is this happening? To address this issue, Crosstalk welcomed Dr. Tim Schmig. Dr. Schmig is executive director of the Michigan Association of Christian Schools, director of Stories in Stone and author of Stories in Stones: Our Heritage of Evidence. So why is there such a concerted effort to remove statues and monuments today? Dr. Schmig believes part of it is because people today are looking back through the lens of their own personal experiences, therefore they view our nation's founders based upon what's known as "presentism." In other words, they weigh the actions and productivity of the founders (and others who've gone on before us) based on what they believe is right today. As he noted, none of us are perfect, including America's founders. The present day protesters that tear down monuments aren't perfect either. So if you look at our nation through the lens of idealism, we'll be weighed in the balances and found wanting. Yet if you look at America's history based upon the times that they lived in, you'll see that those individuals did some amazing things.

The light of the world in this present age is the church. Though the church cannot shine as brightly as the Lord Jesus, we can shine brightly enough to show mankind the way home to the Lord.

Sometimes when people hear or see something that's strange or outright bizarre, they might reply by saying, "What in the world?" That's the theme of this series of Crosstalk broadcasts as Jim looks at some of the strange and unbelievable stories making the news. The fact that such stories are becoming more and more prevalent goes along with the warning from the Bible that in the last days, perilous times will come (2 Timothy 3:1). Here are the stories Jim presented during the first quarter hour of the broadcast: California has seized a Christian woman's teenage daughter because she opposed her daughter's so-called gender transition. A federal court in Australia has defied the science that men, male down to their DNA, cannot become women by ordering damages paid to a man who was denied participation in the women-only networking app, Giggle for Girls. Amid a glut of anti-LGBTQ+ laws passed by the state legislature over the past half decade, many queer Texans have decided to pack up and move to greener and more supportive pastures by moving to Seattle. Now the city is considering declaring a civil emergency due to the number of LGBTQ+ "refugees" moving there from red states. An elementary school in Winnipeg has decided to do away with Mother's Day and Father's Day presents in favor of family gifts. Two Virginia police officers are facing suspension and possible termination for objecting to a gender confused male recruit being allowed to use women's lockers. A campaign event for homosexual California State Senator Scott Wiener, now running for U.S. Congress, featured a drag queen grossly dressed as half pig/half woman.

illiam J. Federer is a nationally known speaker, historian, author, and president of Amerisearch, Inc. He's the speaker on The American Minute daily broadcast. In late April, 2026, there was a thorough reading of the Bible at the Museum of the Bible. While you may not agree with every participant, the Word was read. As Scripture says, God's Word will not return unto Him void, but it will accomplish that which He pleases. It's the Word of God that is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword. The Bible tells us in Romans 10:17 that "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God." It's the Word of God that changes the heart of man. Michele Bachmann, Dean of the Regent School of Government said, "There would be no America without the Bible. It is the foundation...and it's important that we reacquaint ourselves with its principles." It's disturbing that in the American Bible Society's 2026 State of the Bible report, only 17% of Americans told pollsters that they have read the entire Bible, another 17% said they have read "most", 14% indicate they've read "about half" 35% said "a little" 10% said "none" and 7% said they were not sure if they've ever read the Bible. As foundational as the Bible is, Jim asked William to come and address the Bible's influence on America. So don't miss this look back at the impact of the Bible at the time of the Pilgrims, at the time leading up to the Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War, and also its influence since we became a nation. It's a history modern skeptics don't like, but it's the truth.
