Greg, John, and Pat talk about the debt ceiling and how the President allegedly requested authority to increase the debt ceiling on his own. They share an analogy of someone going to the store to make a purchase on a credit card that is maxed out. Of course the clerk tells them that you are over your limit and declines their purchase. The person then calls their credit card company to ask that their debt limit be increased so they can continue to spend more. This is exactly what is happening with the federal government today. Our President is asking to borrow 1.5 billion dollars and continue to increase our national debt which is now 16 trillion dollars. Even a teenager knows that if given unlimited amount of debt to acquire the end is destruction.

Greg, John, and Pat take time to remember and discuss the anniversary of Pearl Harbor. December 7, 1941, when Japan attacked our Navy killing over 2,400 service men resulting in President Franklin D Roosevelt saying this day will live infamy and the United States declaring war on Japan and entering WWII. They continue to share how times have changed and discuss how back then we were able to easily identify our enemy and today those lines have become more difficult to distinguished. So much is happening today in terms of wars and uprisings such as what has been happening in the Middle East with Syria, Egypt, Hamas and Israel and the face of radical Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood. We are living in very dangerous times even seeing the potential of chemical weapons released over the Syrian people, potentially affecting Israel and U.S. soldiers if dispatched to the region. All of this is happening as the unfolding of prophecy is almost daily and our President will be away on a 3 week vacation off the mainland while there is great risk of our soldiers, if committed will be in great harm. They continue to ask VFNRadio listeners to pray the Lord give our President wisdom as well as for the church to wake up.

John, Pat, and Chris share how man may look at the outward appearance but the Lord looks at the heart. The Bible says in Matthew 24:12 that "because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. When love grows cold we are more prone to judge and become critical of others. To judge causes us to form a critical and judgmental opinion of others. We are encouraged to move in love and compassion for others all the while guarding ourselves from being critical and judgmental.

Due to the recent tragedy involving NFL linebacker Jovan Belcher's murder of his girlfriend Kassandra Perkins and then suicide; discussions surrounding this tragedy have risen in particular, about manhood. It is being said by some that Jovan Belcher was a troubled man and if he had someone to talk to maybe this could have been avoided. Kevin Powell a cnn.com contributor was one of the first to begin this conversation. Many men today are alone with no one in their lives to speak to. They have been told that to express emotions is to admit weakness. We have a problem in America. We now have close to 30 million children growing up in fatherless homes and the fathers who are present spend as little as 35 seconds a day in meaningful conversation with their children. We have a whole generation of young boys who have gotten instruction on manhood from Hollywood and the music industry. John, Pat, and Chris share the importance of the church to, raise up men and begin to disciple them and to come together in small abiding groups where they can carry each other's burdens. They continue to speak of their 10 years of experience working with fathers and sons through, Next Step Outback and with small men's groups. They encourage men to seek out other Godly men, to learn from and to join an abiding group with other men learn to be there one for another.

Tensions growing in the Middle East with recent developments involving Syria and their decision to mix saran gas for their chemical weapons. President Obama, earlier this week warned Syrian President Assad, that if these weapons were used on his people there would be consequences. Syria is believed to have one of the largest stock piles of chemical weapons. John and Pat do not only express concern that these weapons will be used on the Syrian people but that these weapons could eventually fall into the wrong hands, like Islamic jihadist, who would want to use them against Israel. This situation is causing serious concern because once the chemicals have been mixed they have 60 days before they expire and have to be destroyed. John, Pat, and Chris continue to discuss how President Obama, Nobel Prize recipient has had his hand in the Middle East in countries like Egypt, Libya, and Syria, allegedly empowering the Muslim Brotherhood. They continue to encourage us to stay alert and informed so we can strategically pray for Israel and for the safety of American soldiers who can be potentially used in the recent Syrian conflict

What Pat didn't know, was that John was setting Pat up because he begins to share how abandoned dogs in New Zealand were being taught how to drive a car. Pat and Chris were surprised and skeptical at first but were pleasantly surprised to find out that it was true. This project was undertaken by an animal trainer, to break stereo types of abandoned dogs being second rate.
