The modern Hebrew Roots Movement does more than just study the roots of our faith. It's really an idea that says that Christians who may not have Jewish ethnicity (gentiles) are required/obligated to keep the Law of Moses. So it's a return to the keeping of the Law as opposed to historic Christianity which has taught that we are not under that Law.

So what about our churches? What is their legal health? What safeguards can they take to yield protection in the event of adversity? How do we bring about maximum ministry with minimum liability?

The Middle East is a hotbed of activity. A top Iranian general has said that forces in Syria are just awaiting orders to destroy Israel. A Syrian fighter jet was recently shot down after infiltrating Israel's airspace. Israel is telling Russia that Iran must withdraw from Syria. Iran's President has issued a dire warning to the United States with President Trump responding to Iran to never threaten the United States again. What is the significance of all of this? What is the prophetic significance? Joining us to discuss these issues is Dr. Gary Frazier. Dr. Frazier is a respected speaker and writer on the subject of bible prophecy. He is founder and President of Discovery Missions and has authored several books - including one previously discussed on Crosstalk 'Miracle of Israel' subtitled, 'The Shocking, Untold Story of God's Love for His People.'

When asked 'what is the role of the Church?' Pastor Greg first answers 'ultimately, to glorify Christ' made up of 'those who have trusted in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior who have been indwelt by the Spirit of God...who are the Church, the body of Christ.' Quoting from Ephesians chapter 4 he teaches how the Church is for so much more than what is being understood or popularized today. He makes it clear that the Church is not 'in anyway shape or form for the world but, is actually for believers...and although someone who doesn't know Christ may come and hear the gospel and praise the Lord, should they fall down and trust in Christ, even still, the Church remains for believers, to be built up for the works of service and to glorify Christ, to exalt Him.' But when asked are we taking the right stands, doing the right things? He answers 'no.'

Below is just a sample of the headlines that Jim rolled out for comment by Crosstalk listeners: --4 more people confirmed dead after a duck boat capsized in a Branson, Missouri lake. --Jay Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice has engaged a multi- faceted, global legal advocacy campaign working with the lawyer of Pastor Andrew Brunson who is in prison in Turkey.

Jim noted that we have numerous anti-bullying campaigns telling us not to speak out on marriage being between a man and a woman or that someone who's in the homosexual lifestyle or has same-sex attractions can change. In doing so, Christians are labeled as intolerant and bullying. Yet if you want to stick a scissors in the back of a baby's head and suction out their brain, that's not bullying, that's choice.
