At the end of the week, Mike and David answer your questions and comments live on the program. This week, Crash is filling in for David to discuss:

Difference between apostasy and heresy

Eternal security of the Believer

Are we hypocrites when we admonish homosexuals while pretending we have no sexual sin in our lives?

More discussion around our victory in court earlier this month

Does our program share more Scripture daily than some local churches during their services?

Andy Stanley's call to "unhitch" from the Old Testament

When we do not hide God's Word in our heart and think on it regularly it is easy for false teachings and dangerous movements to find a place in our minds and hearts. Things that might sound good are actually dangerous beliefs that can lead us away from God and His Word, leading to all sorts of problems. While it is a broad term, "New Age" Philosophy is one of these dangerous belief systems, and we see it subtly infiltrating the hearts and minds of a growing number of professing Christians. James Walker of Watchman.org joins us to discuss the subtle dangers of New Age Philosophies.

In our final segments, Mike and Crash look at some news items that should grab our attention including China's new way of identifying and arresting bible-believing Christians and Amazon's embracing of Orwellian style surveillance systems cleverly cloaked as "security and convenience" for its customers.

Christmas Eve and Day are the most widely attended church gatherings every year in our nation. From committed believers to professing Christians fulfilling an "obligation", millions gather to hear about the birth of Jesus Christ, God in the flesh. These church services vary in scope, with many just focusing solely on the birth of Jesus but others using the opportunity to hear the full gospel message, including His death, burial and resurrection. And many of the beliefs we have come to embrace about the Christmas celebration are a combination of scripture and man-made beliefs and traditions.

Pastor Randy White joins us this morning to discuss some facts about the time of the birth of Jesus we might not be aware of.

It's been quite a ride this week since the news broke of our victory in court as we challenged a De Pere city "non-discrimination" ordinance. Many of you have weighed in with both praise as well as some criticism. Today, Mike addresses your comments and questions over the last couple weeks.

Rarely does outright persecution just happen out of the blue. It usually seeps in gradually, starting with free people not being diligent and thinking the persecution of another individual or institution is none of their concern. Once the proponents of persecution see that we lack the courage to stand up for others they naturally assume we will lack the backbone to stand up for ourselves, and they begin to pick away at our freedoms, breaking down our resistance.

In every institution in our nation we are seeing Bible-believing Christians marginalized and attacked. From education to media to government itself, witnessed by the unconstitutional ordinance the City of De Pere tried to impose on local churches, the enemy is testing our will and commitment to God. Sadly, as I personally witnessed here in De Pere, there are some churches that decide to sit the battle out letting the other 5 brave churches who stood with us do all the fighting. This morning, we look at the expanding attack against the religious freedoms and conscience of Christians in America.

In our first segment, we are joined by Laurie Stewart, President of "Women in Apologetics". We look at the crucial role Christian women play in teaching other women and our children correct biblical apologetics.

Our human emotions are based on circumstances, prejudices, and programming. The heart is sick and emotions can lie to us. But God never changes and is incapable of lying. So when our human emotions conflict with God's Word it is clear that the truly born-again believer should trust in God's Word no matter what the world is trying to sell us. But the exact opposite is happening in our society and even in a growing number of churches. Logic and rational thought based on God's Word is being replaced with humanistic ideals and emotional over-reactions to important issues.

John Loeffler of Steel on Steel Radio joins us for a discussion on the dangers to the church and our nation when irrational emotion becomes the bellwether for right and wrong instead of God's Word.

Elijah Abraham, a former Muslim and now born-again believer in Jesus Christ, travels around the world teaching and equipping pastors and Christians where persecution is a daily occurrence.  Many of them risk their lives, traveling many hours to join other believers in Christian fellowship.

Elijah just returned from India, a Hindu nation where the government might say they allow people to worship freely, but persecution and the murder of Christians is accelerating rapidly. Elijah joins us to talk about the plight of Christians in India, and also share his thoughts on how prepared Christians in America are if we face similar persecution in the coming years.

Dr Duke Show hosts, Duke Pesta and Katie Petrick join us today for some almost unbelievable education updates. You're not going to believe what is actually happening on college campuses and in classrooms. Some in the LGBTQ community are openly admitting their goal to "groom young children."

Then, on Friday, December 14, our legal challenge to the City of De Pere's "non-discrimination" ordinance was heard in Wisconsin Court. Judge William Atkinson upheld our challenge and struck down the unconstitutional effort to bring Christian Churches and non-profit Christian organizations under the mandates of government concerning hiring, facility usage and services provided.

What will be the importance of this ruling and the potential impact it will have moving forward? Mike and David discuss this in the second half of today's program.

We see and hear the stories every day of Christians in China, Iran, Pakistan and Africa being harassed, imprisoned and sometimes murdered for their faith in Jesus Christ. We see the stories here in America of Christians being bullied and intimidated into silence. Yet, we cannot seem to connect the dots. This bullying and intimidation is a precursor to the coming violent persecution of Christians here in America---a persecution few churches and individuals are prepared for.

This morning, Mike and David look at growing persecution in China, along with ways technology is being used to soften our resistance to "Big Brother", setting us up to walk into slavery as a people.

We also visit with Travis Barham of Alliance Defending Freedom to discuss a legal battle against the University of Colorado's campaign to kick a Christian Ministry, Ratio Christi, off College campuses.

A couple weeks ago, we interviewed Pastor Mike Abendroth on the doctrine of eternal security of the true believer through faith in Jesus Christ. We spent time discussing Hebrews chapter 6. Some listeners have since written us claiming our belief is wrong and that the belief in the eternal security of Christians is wrong and dangerous. So today, Pastor Abendroth joins us again to address concerns on this very important doctrine.

We will also talk with Mike about sincere questions unbelievers have about God and the Bible and how the Church has a responsibility to answer their sincere questions honestly. If we cannot provide biblical responses, they will find the wrong answers in the world.
