Canon Andrew White is sometimes referred to as the Vicar of Baghdad. He has been serving in the city as pastor of St. George's church. Of grave concern is the advance of the Islamic State to a mere one mile away from Baghdad. The concern is that ISIS has been systematically killing anyone who does not abide by Sharia law. Christian churches have been burned, Christians have fled and many more have been brutally killed by the radical Muslims. In this interview we learn of the calling by God of a pastor as well as details of the work in Baghdad. Canon White set up the local medical clinic in addition to his pastoral duties. His church has bomb blast walls and has been bombed 5 times int he past 3 years. The imminent danger is due to the Islamic State that is now on his doorstep. Please pray for our dear brother. He currently has about 35 soldiers caring for him and cannot place one foot outside his compound. In this episode of A Plain Answer, our Maryland Public Affairs Director conducts the interview. Participants: Canon Andrew White, Craig Poland.

Pornography may not seem like a problem for Christians, but it is. Pornography is not only a problem for men either. This is a huge industry and we see a profound desensitization within our society. Outlets for such filth have now entered our homes via R-rated movies and the internet. How do we deal with this area? The gospel is God's power unto salvation and its power is much greater than that of Satan's. So, it is a problem; it is rampant, and yet God is greater than this problem. What are the biblical directives? Towards the end of this discussion are also listed resources for further help. Participants: Rev. Bill Shishko, Dan Elmendorf

Imagine going to church on Sunday and being frisked as you came into the church building. What if your church was built with blast walls to protect against Islamic terrorists seeking to kill your people? Imagine having your church bombed five times in the last three years. What is the perspective of a key Christian leader in Baghdad regarding ISIS and their tortuous ways? ISIS is Islamic, contrary to President Obama's assertion to the contrary, and ISIS is being consistent with the words written in the Koran (aka Qur'an). Join us for an interesting interview with a pastor of the largest church in Baghdad. The Christian is called upon to love our enemies. Hear a story of a founder of Hamas that the Lord changed. So far however, no one of ISIS has yet changed. The Christians are being slaughtered because of their love for Jesus. Canon White asks us to pray for: Protection, Provision, Perseverance, and Peace. Participants: Canon Andrew White, Dan Elmendorf
