In the Market with Janet Parshall

Get ready for a full hour of headlines and opinions.  We will discuss protection for free speech on college campuses, whether a military memorial is worth protecting, should nurses stop euthanasia and whether or not pain patients should be punished for addiction.  Don’t miss a minute of today’s news from a Christian perspective.

Who is the antichrist---and how will we recognize him when he appears? What advance signs will herald his rise to power? Does God's Word identify him as the military leader "Gog" in Ezekiel? Disputing recent speculation that this mysterious figure could be a Muslim or a Jew, our apology expert will explore what Scripture does and doesn't tell us. 

Join us for a full hour of news.  We start the hour looking at the headlines of the day and then turn to a conversation on national defense, security and the continued threats posed by China.  We round out the hour by discussing the evolving policies on sexuality being implemented on some Christian campuses.  Don’t miss the perspective we bring to the news through the lens of Scripture.

Another hour of all news but this time we put a bright spotlight on the work of the Gospel globally.  What is happening in the Middle East that should catch the attention of Bible-believing Christians? How can we pray for the Persecuted Church? What countries are most threatening to Christians today?  Get the answers to these questions and more on today’s edition of In The Market with Janet Parshall.

Creation and evolution; God-ordained violence; the historicity of people, places, and events; questions of human sexuality . . . today, our guest, a trusted Old Testament scholar will address these controversial issues head-on. Avoiding simplistic solutions and polarizing extremes, he paves the way for intelligent conversation regarding these difficult topics, and an informed approach to evangelism.  Learn how to better ‘contend’ for the faith.

For too long, Christians have domesticated God, bringing Him down to our level as if He is a God who can be tamed. But He is a God who is high and lifted up, the Creator rather than the creature, someone whom none greater can be conceived. If God is the most perfect, supreme being, infinite and incomprehensible, then certain perfect-making attributes must be true of him. Perfections like aseity, simplicity, immutability, impassibility, and eternity shield God from being crippled by creaturely limitations. At the same time, this all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-wise God accommodates Himself, exhibiting perfect holiness, mercy, and love as He makes known who He is and how He will save us.  Join us to learn more about our great God.

Today, our guest will call us beyond trendy transparency and into something better: true transformation. She will show us that spiritual growth means being both honest and holy - that we can come to Jesus just as we are, but we cannot stay that way. While virtues like vulnerability, honesty, and humility are desperately needed, we should fight for more. After all, the gospel is a change-agent.

For years, our guest taught about the assurance of salvation in seminary and Sunday school classrooms. He was concerned, however, to find that some people, for a variety of reasons, were unable to grasp the certainty of their salvation. Today, he will identify these "troublers" of assurance and provides the remedy to diffuse insecurity.  He will explain that by embracing three gifts from God—His Word, His Spirit, and His work in our lives—those who struggle with insecurity are able to personally experience the freedom of God's assurance.

It’s called the “Green New Deal” but what is it really all about? Will this legislative package help or hurt the neediest among us? Is this proposal about climate change or is it a way for socialists to move toward economic redistribution? Time to look at this with a biblical perspective.  Come with your questions as we look at this headline of the day through the lens of Scripture.

 This week on In The Market with Janet Parshall we were taken to the front lines of the battle between faith and Facebook. We learned how important it is to pray for those serving Christ in the entertainment industry. We examined the proposed “Green New Deal” and some of the suspicious “scientific” claims made by the supporters of this resolution. We discussed the neglected value of lament in the life of God’s people. Now the phones are open for you to weigh in on the big news stories of the week.
